Nights Into XBLA, PSN, and PC

Nights

Sega, masters of releasing every game for new consoles BUT Skies of Arcadia. Damnit Sega! DAMNIIT!!!!!!!!

Wouldn't mind Sega putting out more genesis/saturn games redone like this over just repeating the Sonic trainwreck series of games year after year.

This game has a weird nostalgia surrounding it. That Wii sequel was awful though :(

oooooo The Saturn Version.

Oh, word?

Wheres my Shenmue HD! That's all i care about!

@WJist: Yeah, it kind of sours my want to play this.

Now where's Dragon Force?

+1

Creatively BANKRUPT.

I was watching videos of Saturn games on youtube yesterday. Got a real affection for that console. It'd be great to see Sega Rally Championship and the Panzer Dragoons too.

Should I care I never played the DC version ? Is it timeless?

Am I just playing Pilotwings from a skewed perspective?

its a good simple game. im in. I expect modern reviews for the game will be brutal though....not like it matters

@Superfred: Yes. Yes.

Edit: Also, I remember playing this game a lot when I was young. I miss SEGA consoles so much sometimes...

It looks like they are just porting the japanese ps2 version. And in that version you just unlocked Xmas NiGHTS by getting A ranks on all courses with both characters.

I hope a hd Vf 2 is soo to come

I mean we have Flower on PSN already, but really they need to make a new one of these that is much more psychedelic, especially after games like Rez, Child of Eden, etc. also not like that Wii game.

As much as I used to enjoy playing NiGHTS, I can't see paying more than $5 to play it again and they'll almost certainly charge $10 or $15. I guess I'm waiting for a Steam sale.

This is almost exciting until you remember that NiGHTS wasn't a good game. Great music though.

This "Sega Vintage" label intrigues me. Hopefully they will get around to re-releasing all the Panzer Dragoon games, especially the RPG. I would buy the fuck out of those games!

Always wanted to play this when I was a kid.

I remember playing a demo of this and not knowing what the hell I was supposed to do. It sure was colorful though.

Fucking THIS. Where's my gamecube...

I think the biggest problem people have with NiGHTS is that they don't know what it is. It's a Time Attack, you learn the levels to get the fastest time. It's not an adventure game or platformer, its a race against the clock.

The Saturn, ahhh, the graphics on that console sometimes blew away the PS1 and the N64, it was just so damn hard to do it!

Hopefully Sega maintain the quality of their recent ports for this

Wait... you're fucking THAT? Or do you mean you're about to fuck your gamecube?

The dangers of the word "fuck."

Umm...yes.

I still fucking play christmas nights around every christmas IT better FUCKING be in this game so I dont have to pull out my saturn every year.

Christmas nights is better than normal nights in everyway even if there is only 1 level.

You know what fuck nights 3 make Christmas nights 2.

Such a fantastic game and. It's short to finish but difficult to master and has the exact amount of SEGA charm. The feeling of flight probably won't be as novel in the port as analogue sticks are all the range these days but back in 1996 the 3D Controller was a revelation.

I'm totally picking this up! Loved the B'jesus out of this game! My only request (which I'm sure its far to late to make a request) is to add online leader boards. since this game is based on generating the highest score (like the good old classic arcade days).

I'm more excited that they're putting Saturn games in general.

Total first world problem, but goddammit, I want my Panzer Dragoon Saga.

i remember this! lol

I really enjoyed what I played of the Wii game.

Never tried the original so I'll be buying this.

About damn time they did this. The Wii version was an atrocity.

I just got hit in the face by some major nostalgia...

And Die Hard Arcade and Burning Rangers! Actually, I imagine Burning Rangers will be a hassle to control with a 2012 mindset... I'm very curious to try it out again in any case.

Cool. Now if they can do this, they can do a port of Guardian Heroes for PC/PS3 as well.

I never played this the first time around... I should fix that.

Not gonna happen anytime soon; the source code for Panzer Dragoon Saga was somehow lost to the ravages of time. James Mielke wrote an article about it a couple years back. You're right, though. That series never got half the credit it deserved.

I've heard about the PDS source code somehow getting lost and have to wonder just how in the world THAT happened? I'll have to look up Mielke's article which will hopefully explain it since it's simply unfathomable to me that something digital from the mid- to late-90's could be completely lost forever in 2012.

As for NiGHTS, bring it on--I'm buying Day 1 assuming they don't screw anything up And leave the crappy, off-tune vocals intact!

OMG.. A Ranked da fuck out of this game. The acapela song in the credits gave me chills, I used to pop the game into my cd player in my car just for the music.

I loved this game so damn much. Soft museum was an awesome level and the Oprah boss had the best music ever. The second one was pretty fun, but It it could've been much better.

Ill be grabbing this for sure, and yes please lord bring back Burning rangers.

Awesome. NiGHTS has some of the best VG Music ever!

I never played any of the originals (before my time) and refused to touch the Wii version. This will be a great opportunity for me to play the franchise that I love the music from so much!

I'm sure it's exciting for old fans but I dunno, I've always felt Knights was pretty mediocre and I don't see time doing it any favours.

1st day purchase! (if its 15 or less).

@RadicalWall: You may be remembering an alternate history, NiGHTS was gooooooooood!

Just to complete the circle here, don't miss the Bombcast with Giancarlo.GameTap was the last place to have the source.

@Brackynews: Thanks! I thought I'd heard something about that recently, but couldn't remember where…
