I was just curious... I know NiGHTS isn't exactly the most mainstream of games, but I got a bit of a shock today, haha- a boy in my class mentioned he was getting NiGHTS for the Wii, so I jumped in and asked if he'd ever played the original game, which he said he had. Which actually really surprised me, since I've never heard anyone say they'd even heard of the game before, or even the Sega Saturn... It got me wondering- has anyone else had any unexpected moments where someone has mentioned NiGHTS, or what? A stranger, even, who you got talking to or whatever. I figure it'd be cool to hear any stories... or maybe you got someone interested in NiGHTS through brainwashing? XD

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

One or two people. Not counting when I was younger and it came out. And not counting my brother. :P A friend surprised me the other day. I was drawing NiGHTS at the HardRock Casino while I was waiting for my friends to stop playing poker and one of them came up to me, looked over my shoulder and said "Listen.. STOP DRAWING NiGHTS!! Get over it, its old. He's not IN anymore." He was just playing around, but when he said the name, I told him "Get over here and hug me!" I never know who knows...

Just me and my sister. :P

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.

Pretty much all of my friends are hardcore gamers and thus are fully versed in the concept of NiGHTS. They had no idea of how the game played or anything until I got my Saturn, they just knew about the character.

Nobody I know has ever heard of NiGHTS - infact, the 1st time I got my saturn out and hooked it up to the downstairs telly in my house, my housemates thought it was a video player!?! To be honest - if it hasn't got blood, swearing and/or breasts in it my pals dont want to know!

A couple of my friends knew what it was. When I first broke the news on a local forum me and my friends setup, one of them said "wait, you mean the ?Wii is getting a new NiGHTS? Please say yes" Amnd
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.

A lot of people that work at gaming stores seem to know about NiGHTS.

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.

Several people I know have heard of NiGHTS, but sadly, they haven't played it, and are only interested in mainstream gaming such as Halo and GTA. They constantly call NiGHTS gay and insult it to no end...

A couple people I know do like NiGHTS, though. :blink:

Heh, one, not counting my friends/family that I introduced the game to.

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).

My next door neighbor is a Sega fanatic. He has a Sega Saturn and he has NiGHTS. Unfortunately, the Saturn's condition is such that the game's progress can't be saved. And my neighbor left the Saturn at home when he came to college, meaning that I can't go over and ask to play the Gorramn game. So close, yet so far...

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

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 :blink:

I have an uncle that got the game around the time it came out, and he was the one that let me play the game for the first time, but that was only for a few minutes before I decided to quit. Because of him, a few of my cousins know about the game, and I'm sure that another one of my uncles knows about it.

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. :blink:

Outside the internet? sadly no... all of my "friends" thought I was a weirdo for playing video games in the first place... yeah.. ¬¬ my friend consisted of girls that wanted to be fashion models/designers when they grew up and only worried about makeup hair and boys.... and mind you we were like... 12 o_O

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*

Well...Besides my friends who I introduced the game to, my cousin (the one who let me play when it first came out). My other friends introduced to NiGHTS and have played it because I wouldn't stop shouting "There is no NiGHTS!!!" at school.

Alot of my friends are hardcore gamer's and so have heard of NiGHTS, but out of all of them I think me and one of my girl friends are the only ones who own and have played it.... I could be wrong though. My other none gaming friends and family know of it because of me talking about it. lol

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. ^-^

I've been asking everyone who comes into my Gamestop if they've ever had a Saturn or played Wii. Results are fairly depressing. I've got three reserves; one is Purgy, one is this SuperNerd who has every system since Atari and Master system preserved in his closet, and one person who remembered playing the game and liked it just enough to reserve it. Seems NiGHTS fans are scarce. OH! Oh yes, and another gamestop employee and friend of ours, RedEye does know about it. Whether he actually wants it is another story (he's on this forum tho, so maybe.)

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. :blink: 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.

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.

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?

Oooh I forgot to put this in my previous post. I turned my neice who is 13 now into a NiGHTS fan several years ago. ^^ She saw me playing the game and fell in love with it. Training the younger generation to like NiGHTS as much as we do. XD

*flies in to the rescue!*


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

Or you could PM me and have a good aul chinwag! XD

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.

Absolute zero. Even when the first game came out there was only one boy who knew of it and even he wasn't into it much. D: Hell, I'm hard-pressed to find any game fans round here (though I don't actually get out much XD)... but seriously, it's a real novelty to hear someone talking about the big games like Final Fantasy and GTA, never mind NiGHTS. D:


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? 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 ;_;
