Well that didn't take long, did it?
Each day a few characters from the teaser shown in the previous post were revealed, with NiGHTS being one of the few shown today! Though there was little doubt, NiGHTS is now confirmed as being part of the Worlds Unite event NiGHTS can be seen wearing the JoD outfit, and thankfully is not related to the original Archie comic run of the 90's that spawned the magnificent Parody into Dreams comics. Ian Flynn himself states that it's the game universe NiGHTS so we dodged a bullet there!
(https://twitter.com/IanFlynnBKC/status/570300254064652288 for Flynn's response.) Thanks again to our pals at The Sonic Show for reporting on this event!
It's fantastic that NiGHTS is still considered important enough to be included in these kinds of things, though a certain fanbase headed by TRiPPY and DiGi made sure they wouldn't Forget NiGHTS ;D
Dex la Cabra, thanking all the gods Archie didn't make NiGHTS hideous again~!
Well this is good news! Archie Comics have just released this teaser for the Worlds unite event, the sequel to Worlds Collide which sees Sonic and Mega Man's respective comic series' cross over. See that silhouette behind Stick's boomerang? I think we're possibly in for a treat, because that certainly looks like NiGHTS doesn't it? ;D I will keep you posted on any more news! Thanks to our friends at The Sonic Show for sharing this teaser, you can catch them at: http://www.thesonicshow.org/

Happy Holidays everyone, from us here at NiGHTSintodreams.com! I hope you all have a wonderful time, and I hope those of you celebrating christmas don't overdo it too much ;P
Much love,
Dex la Cabra~!
Hello you beautiful people!
A SEGA based anime called "Hi SCoool! SeHa Girls" has just started airing in Japan, and it's one you just might want to keep an eye on! A certain purple jester (perhaps you've heard of him/her?) makes a cameo appearance in the first episode alongside several other SEGA characters. The premise of the show is that girls based on SEGA's consoles jump throughout their expansive history of games, with the first episode ending with the initial 3 girls (Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast respectively,) entering the world of Virtua Fighter. You can find the first episode on Youtube and services such as Crunchyroll, I recommend giving it a watch if only to see NiGHTS flying overhead I have high hopes for this series though, the first episode already had me hooked and laughing!

Hey all! Jewels Jaselle, voice actor of NiGHTS his/herself, is featured on a new song! The song is a re-make of George Michael's "I Want Your Sex," with Jewels performing the vocals. It's a good song to dance away to, with a nice beat and her voice using some funky effects! Even if dance music isn't your cup of tea it's definitely worth a listen.
It's always great to see what the voice cast of the NiGHTS franchise are up to these days, and we should totally support her!

Well hello there!
This is Dex la Cabra reporting for duty, making my first post as Admin to this illustrious site How you all doing? I've got a lot of ideas brewing for this place, but don't worry, this will always be the site you know and love, I'm not going to take a sledgehammer to it or anything
For those who don't know me, I should tell you a little bit about myself!
I'm 23 at the time of posting this and have lived in Elgin, Scotland for my entire life. I'm an artist at heart, and while I'm not as good as our own Lynne Triplett I must admit I'm getting some skill in the field if I do say so myself! My favourite band is Gorillaz, you may know them for the animated videos that accompany Damon Albarn's typically melancholic sounds. I've got a few favourite films, such as Hackers (there's nothing wrong with a bit of cheese lol), TRON Legacy and Ghost in the Shell, so I guess i'm a fan of Cyberpunk! as far as Video Games are concerned, I'm a fan of SEGA's earlier works (can you imagine that, being an admin of a NiD website and being a fan of SEGA's earlier works?) though in recent years have been branching into Nintendo's back catalogue. I've been a fan of the NiGHTS franchise since I got my SEGA Saturn about 10-11 years ago, though didn't become an active member of this website until JoD was on the cards. I went by Kisuke Urahara back then, my favourite character from the manga BLEACH.
To quote Pennywise the Dancing Clown, "There, so now we know each other!" Please bear with me whilst this little chicken learns his way around the ranch, I'm sure we'll all have plenty of great times over the years!
Hey, remember Will's Dad? He never forgets you~

Hi guys, TRiPPY here.
Sorry you've not heard from us in a long time, life became incredibly busy after I went full-time artist mode. I've been working on awesome published comic books and getting things set up for the end of 2014 with my new Engelbaum Patreon campaign (Check it out if you ever enjoyed my dream/Gen related comic work!: http://www.patreon.com/trippy).
The years may come and go but I still love NiGHTS the same as ever. It's his 18th birthday today, wow can you believe that, 18 years… it honestly seems like just yesterday to me the first time I dreamed of him or played the actual game. So many great positive things have come of that day 18 years ago. And we're still all here!
Because of how busy my life is right now though I feel it's only right to hand the reins over to another admin so that everyone can enjoy the website again with updates and activity. I feel very guilty about not being able to work on this website since I worked so incredibly hard on it for many years. So rather than let it fade I'd like to give it a kick up the butt and get some stuff rolling again. Me and DiGi are going to take a back seat for now after we technically hit the heights of doing as much as we possibly could for NiGHTS and you guys. We lived the dream we built and now it's time for new dreams and new faces. It's been a lot of fun working with you guys over the years, causing trouble and getting NiGHTS back into the spotlight again. So much so that we don't even have to ask SEGA anymore. They know people care about NiGHTS now. Lots of us. And I knew that when I worked at SEGA myself, working on NiGHTS with DiGi, that all those coffeelicious 5am HTML blasts back in 1999 on a Dreamcast browser were worth it, lol. So thank you.
Lately it seems the NiGHTS community has migrated over to Tumblr, which is cool, but I still think this website is a great information point for new and old fans so it deserves to be preserved.
But It's with great happiness and pleasure that I tell you all today that from this point onwards (after all the server side stuff is sorted out for his accounts yadda yadda) that our new main admin of NiGHTSintoDreams.com is the wonderful Dex la Cabra. A long time NiGHTS fan and a good friend of ours with SO MUCH enthusiasm and care for what he does. He's friendly, sensible and just the right kind of guy this place needs to get things running again. So give him a warm welcome and prepare for cool things again I myself have tons of content, emails and work that have built up over 2 years that myself need to submit to the site, so it's going to be Dex's job to give you guys the goodies, report on both SEGA and community news and keep an eye on everything in the ~ world of dreams.
If i could explain just how much this website has given me, both as a person, a fan, an ex employee and a dreamer I'd have to write a very long book. All I will say is that without this website and NiGHTS I wouldn't be where I am in life now, surrounded by great people, working my dream jobs and waking up every morning to see DiGi beside me. It's all been worth it. Every single thing.
So never let anyone tell you that dreams are worthless. NiGHTS is always there if you need him, no-matter who you are or how impossible things might seem.
Thank you to DiGi, to the fans, to my friends at SEGA Europe, Japan, America and China, Sonic Team, Naoto Ohshima and to our magical 18 year old purple guy.

UPDATE: How to get a hold of the NiGHTS content in Sonic Lost World
Since lots of people have been asking and I'm not entirely sure it's clear enough yet (I've been getting a lot of emails about this) – the Deadly Six bonus edition with the NiGHTS content is already secured with any preorder of the game you've made. SO NO NEED TO CANCEL YOUR PREORDER FOR THIS VERSION! It's automatically included! I got this from the comments on the official SEGA Facebook replies. So now you know. Just preorder the game from any of your usual places and you will be granted full on shiny amazing things.
*goes to preorder right now from Amazon!* And no, I don't even have a Wii U yet. Once again I'm buying a Nintendo console for the sole purpose of NiGHTS hhaha. Go get your preorders and Wii U's folks!
SEGA officially announce the Deadly Six Bonus Edition – more details!!
SEGA updated the blogs a few seconds ago with awesome details on the NiGHTS news from yesterday! It seems to confirm being available in all the usual regions Good news for you fans not in the UK. Read on for the official blurb and pretty pretty screenshots of our favourite Marens! I'll update with links to places you can preorder this special version as I find them to save you guys missing out.
It’s Sonic’s worst NiGHTMARE! Sonic has been sucked into a world of nightmares created by Wizeman, and must defeat the Deadly Six, who are riding on gigantic Nightmaren monsters inspired from the game NiGHTS into Dreams… . This exclusive level is accessed via a redeemable code when pre-ordering the game, or while supplies last. The NiGHTMARE DLC can be played at any point in the game and when the level is completed, a special Color Power (usually only obtainable from Miiverse) is rewarded to the player. Pre-order the Deadly Six Bonus Edition (called the Deadly Six Edition in Europe) of Sonic Lost World today!

Hold me people. This was a complete surprise that I didn't know a single thing about until this morning.
A new Sonic Lost World video has appeared online with a VERY SPECIAL teaser for NiGHTS fans at the very end. Really. Just wow.
The video can be seen here:
The resulting reaction of NiGHTS fans so far online has required a lot of mops.
What really is a huge and amazing thing here is that we didn't have to ask for this or cause a fuss or annoy anyone. It just happened. This is great for the NiGHTS franchise. I'm so happy I can barely type lol, don't be expecting any well thought out journalistic write ups from me – I'm too busy straight out fangirling at the fact JACKLE is in this.
If you'd like to see some screenshots then read on below. I'll try to get some nice HD ones up soon as I get any.
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much SEGA.

Thanks to Daniele Narducci for the heads up!
