By extension, has anyone seen/heard of the sequel anywhere off the internet/gaming magazines? Anything in non gaming magazines for example? I'm not really expecting anything like that for a good while yet, I suppose, but still, it would be really nice to see something showing NiGHTS as being more mainstream or whatever. Obviously it's reeeally early for something like and ad, but I was thinking more of a non gaming magazine or something mentioning it in their 'media' section or something.
Anyway, hopefully this is okay to post =) It's not too off topic or anything, is it? Well, at any rate, post any stories you have =D

I don't have a whole lot of friends, actually. I'd be surprised if any of them knew anything about NiGHTS. Not as much now that the new game is getting all kinds of publicity, but before then I would have been shocked.

I was all "yes!!!" and then he went "OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG" and now hes calling me every few days hoping for more info on it since hes usually too drunk to use the internet. another friend instantly recognizeed the character and was extremely excited when I mentioned NiGHTS. One other one seems to know and his friend apparently had the game but I havent talked to that guy since last year.

There was one guy at school who knew about NiGHTS too. He said he played it a few times and hated it. He didn't like the "rail" you were on so it wasn't fully 3D, it was too colorful, and a bunch of other bull. Oh and my boyfriend said he remembered seeing NiGHTS but never cared for the Satern so he never investigated it.

A couple people I know do like NiGHTS, though.

It was an employee at my local GameStop, who showed me a list of upcoming Wii releases, including NiGHTS: JoD. When I mentioned that I was a big fan of the Saturn title and was planning to pick up JoD, he said that I was the first customer that looked at the list and even heard about NiGHTS. He also said he was really shocked that not many people came in and never heard of it (which I was too).

Needless to say, my friend knew about JoD before I did and we're both looking forward to it very much.

Unfortunately, the Saturn's condition is such that the game's progress can't be saved.
I know it doesn't belong here, but did you try replacing the CR2032 battery in the back of the system? My Saturn wouldn't save either, and I had to buy some before I got NiGHTS.
Just a suggestion

When I found out about JoD, I told a few of my friends that "they're making a sequel to NiGHTS Into Dreams!" and only one of them seemed to know what I was talking about. I asked how he knew and he told me that I had shown him a video/pictures of it or something, yet I don't ever remember doing that.
So in short, I've never met anyone that didn't know about it from me.

and all the boys were mostly into "hardcore games" I didn't meet another person that knew about NiGHTS until recently (well.. I'd say about 3-4 years ago) when I went to my 1st college. I was amazed at how many people actually knew about it O.o it made meh happeh XD *cartwheels*

I did get a surprise though last Anime Weekend Atlanta convention 2006. I made some NiGHTS scarfs to sell in the Artist Alley and I wasn't really expecting anyone to know who he was but some girls saw the scarfs and started squealing over them and going how they hardy ever see NiGHTS stuff. Also later that day I had the pleasure of meeting MangaPunkSai from deviantart. She bought one of my scarfs and I bought her NiGHTS drawing. <3's~ It made me happy to see that some people remembered who NiGHTS was. ^-^

Due to circumstances I do not understand some people from the old fourms are not allowed to return. MangPunkSai is one of them. Sorry. I am depressed too. ;_;

Oh! Really!? I never noticed...

Listen. I'm not gonna sugar coat this for you kiddies. Everyone who was banned is banned for good reason. Remember how horrible it felt to not have a forum? Well every time you think about those people coming back, you think of that pain. Pinch your own arm, really freakin' hard, and every single time you think "Gee, I wish Sai was here!" you remember that pain. I would rather stab myself in the eye socket than have her here.Due to circumstances I do not understand some people from the old fourms are not allowed to return. MangPunkSai is one of them. Sorry. I am depressed too. ;_;
Sai doesn't need to be a part of this forum. And while I may sound harsh, understand these two things: Having cool art, doesn't make you cool. And two, just because someone is nice in person, it does NOT excuse cruel behavior when you hide behind a computer monitor. Remember that always and just accept that she is gone (and the others too) and won't be back here. Sai did NOT make this forum what it was/is now. It seems some of you have communication with one or a few of these people outside the forum. Let that be good enough.
That said, stay on topic please, I see this getting unpleasant.
edit- I realize what I said sounded really one-sided, but my concern is this forum being fine and nothing else. Sorry if it came out harshly.

Not many did. I only knew because I was talking to her.Oh wow, I had no clue. T__T That's a bummer.....
As for the topic, is it just me or do the only people that eveyone meets that knows about NiGHTS are people that work at video game selling places?

so..... as far as i know noone IN MY WHOLE TOWN ever heard about the game or even the character. except for the people i make contact with. i remember first seeing Christmas NiGHTS on tv and they announced it would be "twice as fast as the original" and lots of new levels, haha XD
so anyway, my cousins know the game because i bought them a copy so they could play on their own and then they could challenge me on a VS match. other than that, just some of my friends because sometimes i just keep talking about the game nonstop, and that fatefull day when i found out about JoD when i started shouting at everyone "OMG OMG OMG OMG A NEW NiGHTS GAAAAAMEEEEEEEE!!!!!"
other than that, NiGHTS isnt very known around here at all. the game in itself was very rare, i only saw the game with the 3d controller once, and thats the one i bought. sadly, games that arent mainstream sometimes dont get here. so sad T_T so very sad

That is sad. I feel sorry for you. D: I am happy to hear that there are a few NiGHTS fans even in a place where the game was very rare to come by.

Or you could PM me and have a good aul chinwag! XDPinch your own arm, really freakin' hard, and every single time you think "Gee, I wish Sai was here!" you remember that pain.
On the topic of NiGHTS being known, it only occured to me after my last post that very few of my new college mates actually knew about the game, which I find quite disturbing considering I'm in Computer Game Development... o_O
Don't worry though, I'll school em good.

EDiT - I just remembered, I tell a lie, I did SEE some NiGHTS fans at Ayacon... well, I heard them actually... I was playing and doing pretty well and I'm sure they were saying I was gonna die or something cos I had like, 3 seconds left on the clock... XD I didn't actually speak to them though... I was just content on showing off how good I was...

Only 11 people I know outside the net knows about NiGHTS.
Only? For a game so obscure, to know people AND to have them know about it... the odds for 11 times over? XD (Unless you know lots of people. LOTS. XD) Still, it is a shame it's so obscure ;_;
