#Nights #SEGA #TheCompleteHistory - เกม
A Nights for the Dreamcast would have been genius if for the system's namesake and the Title's dream theme.
Robbie Olivo holy crap never put the two together!! 0_0
There was going to be one but it evolved into Samba de Amigo instead.
See the nights pinball level in Sonic adventure. I couldn't stop playing that one.
@@drunkensailor112 goated comment
They were going to make a nights game for Dreamcast after Sonic adventure 2 but the console stopped selling
Sega: we make great IPs and then abandon them to milk the Sonic franchise.
That's because Sonic sells, whereas a good chunk of Sega's other IPs generally don't sell that well. All the praise and acclaim a game or franchise can get means squat if it sells poorly.
NiGHTS was really an INSPIRED game, in the best way;- Just pure surreal gaming brilliance. I remember the HMV store window displays for it's launch back in 1996- it was really the Saturn's last big commercial push that it got to try and compete with the PS1.
Sega isn't all about Sonic, fools.
so ture!
I swear if it's not the yakuza series they would have gone from gaming forever.
Well, to be fair, Nights did get a Wii release years later, and a remastered re-release on Steam and such. It's not like Ristar, Vectorman, Alex Kidd, and who knows how many others that haven't seen a new release in over a decade.
I love the pure creativity of SEGA but jeeze their management..."I'm not gonna make a sequel for the most popular game of the last generation because I don't wanna"
NiGHTS was successful on the Sega Saturn, but the Sega Saturn was a major flop in West, just slightly more successful than the Atari Jaguar and 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. Clearly games like NiGHTS didn't dramatically help the Sega Saturn in any major significant way unless you were a Sega Saturn owner or hardcore Sega fan. Its much like Okami, all the praise and perfect scores it got didn't help it from being a commercial flop, nor did it protect Glover Studios from being dismantled by Capcom.
Its really upsetting that art that overall is received well by people, perhaps even beloved and adored, just doesnt matter if its capital profit tanks (or never had potential to profit at all).
money over merit makes no sense. and yet.
im sure there's
It did get a sequel on Wii, but was rather mediocre.
They really waited until NiGHTS started getting forgotten and irrelevant then finally chose to make a sequel with a slapped on gimmick, then completely abandon the franchise when it's limp gimmicky comeback wasn't a immediate overwhelming success
And then throw a pachinco machine on it's rotting corpse just for good measure a decade later
Jesus, all that potential thrown away with total mismanagement
That western 90s tude marketing really clashes with the game lol
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who felt that way!
I'm honestly surprised they never made Nights into a cartoon
V. M. It could have made an awesome anime.
It would certainly work, she's got a very expressive, simplistic design in the original, and I'm certain her shape-shifting abilities would be put to good use. The world of The Night Dimension has so much going on and so much backstory that it would work perfectly to fill a 12-24 episode show, and animation is the perfect medium to express and play with the human mind.
@@aortaplatinum Nights isn't a she...
That's a good ideas to have a cartoon of nights
There was a comic about it in Archie but it got cancelled for some reason
NiGHTS was really an INSPIRED game, in the best way;- Just pure surreal gaming brilliance. I remember the HMV store window displays for it's launch back in 1996- it was really the Saturn's last big commercial push to try and compete with the PS1...
In terms of sales it was not the system seller SEGA was hoping for, but as an artistic expression of the medium it was head and shoulders above anything else at the time and a true generational leap in concept/design/gameplay and graphics from Sonic.
NiGHTS was the perfect encapsulation of SEGA's innovation and creativity at that point in time. I hope one day we get a NiGHTS 3 that plays like the first game and removes all the filler from the sequel.
Nights is the "Shadow" from Jungian psychology.
Nights is male if you are male and female if you are female, from your perspective, though is female in Claris' stages and male in Elliot's.
Interestingly, Nights is also the first character from a video game that exists in reality, in that order- if you see him in a dream, that's the real one. Although generally dreams with areas where he could even play a role are exceedingly rare and would need quite a unique stew of subconscious issues to occur. Or I guess you could dream lucidly, which would also work.
Hexidecimark acctully i am male and i think both nights and reala are female!
@@funfoxvlad7309 no I think reala is male and nights are female
@@funfoxvlad7309 but that your opinion
@@starryskies113 yea
Well I'm a girl and I think that NiGHTS is a boy so yeah it could be whatever the person wants
That promo at 6:54 is such a godlike callout! "Fly, plaything, fly..." Damn, son.
5:28 "in a graceful fashion"
>BONK
I used to LOVE how 90's adverts consisted of simultaneously ripping the shit out of their competition.
NiGHTs into Dreams also got a PC port. Using a standard controller doesn't feel as nice as the original, but it still works.
You can use an adaptor for the 3D controller, I think.
Nights also appears in Shen Mu as a toy you can get out of a quarter machine towards the beginning of the first game.
I'm surprised you didn't get Digi Valentine involved. He LOVES NiGHTS.
i was just thinking the same
Great game from a great time for games, but on a greatly underappreciated console.
I loved my Saturn back in the day, despite only having a handful of games for it, and this was on the list.
That said, I'd love to see an info dump video for Astal, if such a thing is possible. Bit of a one-off title, but was utterly fantastic.
You can say that about the Saturn again.....and again. I love that console. Astal is a unique, fun game! It would be interesting to see some slightly more uncommon games covered! Rare and unheard of games interest me a lot.
Astal was great. Love Burning Rangers as well. Panzer series, all the fighting games. Saturn was brilliant. Shin Magami Tensei.
Is ironic because people at Nintendo were too afraid of going beyond what Shigeru Miyamoto could make, literally Japanese corporate stuff, if Shigueru didn't like it then there was no green light.
Might explain why Nintendo produce nothing but mediocrity.
@@pferreira1983 oof
I love Miyamoto's games and his impact on gaming history is the stuff of legend; that said, I wish he would loosen the reins on his developers. His whole "video games shouldn't have stories" attitude has really held back some potentially great titles, at least in my opinion.
I wish they'd make a 3rd nights game
;w;
just got back into nights. we need to gather up all of the community and do something!
Ironically, I was JUST about to go to your channel to watch one of your brilliantly made videos. Well done luv.
That sure as shit isn't ironic
Daniel puts out some great videos! I'm still working on watching the whole collection, and I look forward to each new one that comes out. I'm falling behind!
not sure that is ironic... maybe a coincidence
I had a Saturn back in the day (Ive only had 3 consoles in my life) and have a lot of nostalgia, including this game. Parts of it seriously look like a DMT trip.
You can say that again. Timothy Leary would love this game.
CHAEOES?
I swear, I see you around a lot.
: )
So glad this was the first comment.
Chayos
Believe it or not, Izuka actually has expressed interest in making a Nights 3.
But he can only do that if the next main Sonic game is a hit.
Well, Frontiers has proven to be a hit. Does that mean there's a chance for Nights 3?
he/him/his?
she/her/hers?
Nah, i will continue to use:
Night/Night/Nights
....they? That's my catch all for gender-unknowns.
I think Nights is actually a guy. I think they spoiled it in a comic book issue but I still think Nights should be genderless
@@DanielAyy NiGHTS is confirmed to be genderless actually
@@dreamyyartist5517 ok boss
Nights journey into dreams is the reason I still own my Wii still till this day 😊 thanks you for making this video!!!
I absolutely love this game. I bought it off Ebay and it said it was in perfect condition box and everything and when it arrived it was in a plastic sleeve ;( still though. It's a great game. I absolutely love it!
Oof, sorry you got scammed. I'm glad it hasn't taken away from your enjoyment of the game itself though :)
The video I've been really hyped for. Love this series and you did another fine job covering it. Great vid dude :)
It makes me so happy that people are still talking about this wonderful game.
I binge watched several of these videos and I have to say, these are very pleasant to listen to when I'm coming down and trying to hold absolutely still for hours at a time. Very nice videos! Subbed
Great video, Slopes!
Nights on the Sega Saturn will always be a memorable gaming milestone for me. As you say it definitely stands out as a unique experience where they were really trying something new. And brilliantly it still holds up pretty well to this day!
0:55 Yuji Naka isn't even with Sega anymore.
So much for no chance of going elsewhere...
Thank you for blessing my day with a NiGHTS video.
I love these complete histories! Keep up the good work! So good and informative too!
I remember reading somewhere that Nights is a He, though if a male dreamed of him he'll appear to boys as the one we all know the blue one, but if a girl dreamed of him his color will changed to pink and will have more female personalities.
his eyes and voice is feminine but his body shape is male-ish.
This video does not deserve the down vote. Big fan of the channel, happy to see the new content!
I know I’m a bit late to the video but thank you so much for making this video about nights!! Number one best game of my childhood! I cannot stop smiling and thinking of the memories thank you so much!!
Dude I love all of your gaming retrospective videos. From one Sega Kid to another, your videos are just awesome. Please keep up the great content. I'd love if you would take on Bloody Roar.
This was a very pleasant surprise to see in my TH-cam feed, I love NiGHTS!
"Never have been a game where you can float freely in 3d"
I don't think the mercenary piloting a certain PyroGX would agree with that so much...
Well, what do you know... you collect freaking blue balls and tiny yellow stars in Nights x'D
Would you ever do a complete history on Vectorman
I only recently got to play the full game! I only ever had the demo disk for Nights. I played the absolute hell out of that demo! Over and over. Every time I hear the night's music it brings me back to my childhood!
I would love to see a complete history of Pac-Man. The level of depth that you do with your videos does mean the Slope's Game Room Complete History of Pac-Man would probably be close to a five-hour documentary, but I would certainly watch it! Love this one, just like the rest of your videos. Never really knew much about Nights, but I like to learn more about the (to me anyway) obscure. I've never been a Sega fan boy, so Nights is one that went way under my radar. Thank you for the video!
Damn dawg, you are KILLIN it with these lately
Considering Sonic X-Treme was set to use the NiGHTS engine before Yuji Naka threatened to quit over it.
Other things involving Naka supposedly included shrugging at a demo of X-Treme and saying “good luck” & the official cancellation was after he threw a disc containing another build into the trash on top of the well documented programmers health issues.
I loved Nights so much and loved the music so much I taught myself how to play music from the game on the keyboard. I miss playing this so much.
Love your channel man. Keep it up
As a SEGA QA tester at SOA back when NiGHTS Journey of Dreams was in test, I tried my hardest not to be spoiled by any Journey of Dreams content. I was a Wii standards specialist though, and had to test parts of the title from time to time. I'm sorry if this kills your original idea that NiGHTS is a male character based on the Archie comics (which I loved, especially since they were drawn by Patrick Spaziante), but we were always told to refer to NiGHTS as "she" when recording bugs, not "he" or even "it". Also, if you were a fan of the original Sega Saturn pad (I actually had the Saturn 3D controller, but I didn't like it), you could buy an import of Darkstalkers Collection for PS2 that included a purple Sega Saturn controller that would connect to the Playstation consoles. Also, I think it's worth noting that there seemed to be a NiGHTS game in development for Xbox 360 (although it could have just been a quick test to see what they could do with the console). But yeah, there was one 360 test console with a fully 3D NiGHTS title on it. Granted, it crashed every 30 seconds or so and only had one barren grassy field to fly around on. Obviously nothing ever came of it. What I want to know is if this copy of NiGHTS Journey of Dreams signed by the development team is worth anything. Thanks for the video about my favorite game of all time, it really brought me back.
This series needs a movie NOW!
this music in game and intros have something magical inside
Please do a the complete history of Rayman!
watching this finally and FINALLY a king with a correct opinion of nights journey of dreams thank you for your service
Opinions can't be correct nor wrong.
amazing video mate, keep up cheers
Although I was born in 1996 and never got the chance to play the saturn until the early 2000s, i am so glad i finally have this system and nights into dreams is THE GAME i play all the time now. I'm so glad i became obsessed with the series back in middle school even though i never played both games.
Anther great video. Keep it up with the Sega Stuff.
NiGHTS is neither male nor female - their entire function having left Wiseman is to merge with the children in order to accomplish things. Each game has one boy and one girl - when they merge with the boy they are male, when they merge with the girl they are female. I always interpreted it as they sorta merge consciousnesses, becoming a bit of both of them.
But thank you for the recommendation for Rodea! I prefer the first game over the second for various reasons and hearing that because of this I might like Rodea makes me eager to give it a try :)
I AM SO HAPPY YOU MADE A GAME/FILM THEORY REFERENCE 💀😂
You don't know how happy that Puyo Puyo mention made me----
Got Nights on Steam but I remember playing it on the Saturn way back when I was a kid. It was a great game, loved Christmas Nights!
I still play the disc just for the song and soundtrack. A masterpiece IMHO, especially the Christmas Nights
12:45
Yuji Naka holding a sonic plush
*BOY!*
You rule for making this!
Woohoo, my request was answered! Looking forward to checking this out.
Also with Sonic Mania coming out and it being a throw back to the old classic Mega Drive games, any plans on doing a complete history of Sonic on the Mega Drive/CD?
Demon Dethchase has to include 32x and game gear also
I love your videos but I wish you went more into detail how amazingly detailed the original is. The dreamtopians alone change their mood according to what you do with them in the levels, which changes the music in the levels completely and their moods and music of the levels can be heard and altered in one of the many extras in christmas nights.
"But hey! That's just a theory! A game theory!" Nice reference. Reminds me of RebelTaxi impersonating the Nostalgia Critic at one point.
As someone who doesn't watch that show I find the joke pretty redundant.
And theory about Monika from ddlc
Game theory
yes i have been waiting for this! now for some panzer dragoon!
I love your videos, there quite well done.
Really wanted a saturn as a child when this game came out. Years later I have it and couldn't be happier.
I was a late adopter for the Sega Saturn, and one of the games I bought for the SS was this game. I also currently own the game from the XBox store on my Series S. For me, the biggest issue I had with the game was the extremely touchy control. The objective of the game is to fly through the levels racking up link chains, during flight for points, but that was surprisingly difficult because touchy control meant the player would collide with an object, stopping the player dead in his tracks. Also, during fast flight there simply wasn't enough of a margine, (due to 4:3 television monitors), so fast flight meant more collisions with the scenery.
I do suggest buying this game because, at the end of the day, I can see what the producers were trying to envision for a new i.p., and it is fun. However, if bought I do suggest playing in HD mode. This, at least, allows the player enough time to plan moves accordingly.
Loved this game! "In the night, dream delight, I want to see you standing there...."
I'm super keen to pick up Journey of Dreams, but it always seems to slip my mind. Thanks for the reminder :) Great video as usual!
Watchin this brought back memories. I miss my childhood 😭
i like they way this guy says "So.." love the series!
i hope someday that there is a 3rd game made, possibly one using the VR tech we are getting into nowadays.
The articles I read about this game at the time confused me to no end with all the talk about the "3D" controller. I kept wondering what it was all about, making theories like maybe it was pressure sensitive to go into the screen by pushing it. When I finally got the game I discovered that it was actually a simple 2.5D game (with crappy 3D sections if you screw up) and the controller was just an analog stick. The game plays well enough, but people tend to make it sound like more than what it really is for some reason.
LOL! "NOIGHTS". I love your pronunciation.
I found Nights: Journey of Dreams for $5 the other day. :D
I picked it up years ago at a used game store, high time to play it again and this time... go all the way through it.
Alex Brah Lucky.
It felt so bad to get it for full price near release, only to see it in the bargain bin just a few months later.
Neat... I goues XD
I bought Journey of Dreams at launch on the Wii, you casuals! haha
X-mas Nights was such a cool disc. I am pretty sure I got it at Blockbluster (video store chain)in the USA when we got ours back then
Air NiGHTS was actually the title of the Dreamcast game that never came to fruition. Unfortunately, it never made it out of the very early design phase. And aside from the title, the only other thing we really know about it was that Naka wanted it to utilize a gyroscopic gamepad, an idea Sega had originally been toying with as an add-on (one of many) for the Sega Saturn 3D pad.
As for Journey of Dreams, the reason it doesn't feel as smooth is because you're forced to deal with the ridiculous octagonal gate that Nintendo used to place around joysticks. What's an even bigger disappointment is the way the scoring system was pared down. It's nowhere near as deep as in the original game. :\
Saturn Memories If you removed the octogonal notches via a mod could it possibly play slightly better...?
1:49 Oh, don't mind me. There are two copies of Panzer Dragoon Saga just CHILLING THERE
definitely one of my all time favorites on the Saturn! I tried to get into Journey of Dreams but I just wasn't feeling it sadly. :( but I was recently gifted the Steam port of the PS2 version, I should go back to that one of these days. but an awesome retrospective, can't wait for the next one!
I hope the Wii game gets a steam port some time. NiGHTS Into Dreams... was the first game I bought on steam, and I luff it.
Great video, I can remember for E3 Sega had their laminate pass which was just the outline with the challenge of, guess what it was. I'd said Shleep based on the bobbly outline at the top right of the pass though ofcourse it wasn't and I knew it was along shot, but a man can always hope (or dream even).
Also, when's that Bur- 17:50 oh right, well I'm looking forward to it when it comes out
I actually dreamt about this last NiGHT!!
Randy Shibai HA!😂
I love both games so much. :D
Pretty sure that's Jim Cummings voicing the commercial around the 15 minute mark.
20:07 😂😂😂 The bloke....the guy....the mush! 🤣🤣🤣
I do love Christmas DLC, reminds me of the old Cannon Fodder, Lemmings and Worms Christmas games on the Amiga.
That's right I hear the story over and over again...
I kept gettin distracted by the gameplay in the background. I kept yellin at it like, "What are you doing!? 6 seconds left get in the Idea Palace and stOP GOIN BACKWARDS!"
Great video tho owo
Another great video slope keep up the good work t@Nintendork9
My weekend is made. Thank you for doing knights.
Quick question how many hours would a complete final fantasy be?
i always said Nights was sonic in a flying dream world. thats how i saw it but again Saturn cannot be understated how well it used the color palette and its games along with the turbografx are almost always color bombs that are great to look at.
The reason why they referred to Nights as male in the comics was to avoid controversy of calling them a 'it' cause it's considered rude to call a person that. But that does not mean Nights is male, they're supposed to be genderless!
The Sega Saturn was my first system, and Nights into dreams was my first game. Man the memories now I’m just shy of 30 and still playing it
On my
Computer now
"Sonic R" wasn't awful; It was LOUSY, and yet I enjoyed playing it for some reason. ;)
Casey Decker so did I and i had it emulated on a phone XD
It's not THAT bad.
R is the origin of one of the world's shabbiest creepypasta characters, right?
Yeah, Tails Doll remains one of the most infamous characters from that game, and I'll take him over Sanic (the meme) any day. ;)
But only the soundtrack was great
I think the main reason they were trying to market the character of NiGHTS as genderless is because of him being able to fuse with the kids Eliot and Claris. Maybe they thought that if NiGHTS had a set gender then fusing with a kid of the opposite gender would raise some ethical questions on sexual identity of the resulting fusion which they likely wanted to avoid. They didn't think of this as a problem during the development so the design of NiGHTS is still heavily leaning towards the male aesthetic, but they probably got cold feet when they started thinking too much into what it means for the kids (particularly Claris) to fuse with him.
The fact that the game already offers you both a boy and a girl character to play as already takes care of the appeal to a wide audience, they really didn't need to go extra mile and make NiGHTS genderless. So I don't think this is the reason they avoided attaching a gender to him, I actually think the idea of him being genderless is weirder than him creating a dual gendered amalgamation with one of the kids.
I remember how hard it was!! Played this for hours with my brothers, never got past the first stage!
I loved the original Nights, and it was one of the reasons I never regretted choosing Saturn over PS. I also was lucky enough to find Christmas Nights in a Blockbuster used rental bin, and I loved all of the hidden content. Other than Sonic CD, both were the first games I ever ripped the music from.
Years later I bought and even enjoyed the Wii version. The gameplay wasn't as fun IMHO, and I disliked the cutscenes, but otherwise it was beautiful. Even later, when my Saturn was long since dead, I got the Xbox360 re-release (which awesomely includes Christmas Nights as an unlockable) which I'm so glad I can keep playing via back-compat on my Xbox One.
I never knew about the GBA mini-game and want to try it out. Looks like the ROM was ripped and is available online (search for site:nightsintodreams.com "score attack").
I couldn't click PLAY fast enough when I spotted this TCH of NiGHTS. Enjoyed the game for years. Another aspect of the gameplay is finding how to pull off high-points infinite links loops - tough to do (nearly impossible without a Sega 3D controller) but so rewarding. Nights: JoD on Wii was fun but I felt it had lost that something special , and had too much cutscenes and dialogue. I enjoyed the Nightopians AI and the changing music too.
We need Samba De Amigo complete history pls
Javetax 1 yea plz
I miss this game , I played this game a lot !
Fly plaything fly. You are not red e.
I miss 90s advertising.
Me too, although I wasn't aware of those ads when I was young.
Sega had a history of trash-talking the competition...
@@Thomas-te2lg wait... You were a child in the 90's ??
I'm only 15 when I saw this vid .
I wish I was in the 90s it was safer
Saturn had Nights, look how it looks, feel how it controls.. now look at Superman 64, lol.
Phantasy Star Online 1&2 also included NiGHTS himself in the game in a mission if memory serves, plus an item you could buy in game that you could use to play the NiGHTS theme whenever you wanted. (Same with the Burning Rangers theme.)
