Anyone notice that as of late (well, since NiD) that Sonic games/media continually feature very NiGHTS-inspired characters? At first it was like "Alright, Lumina looks like NiGHTS!"...but now its like "Oh c'mONNN!! This stupid robot-shadow-death-thing looks like NiGHTS too??? SERIOUSLY!" Does this annoy anyone else? I say, put NiGHTS in a game or get a NEW character designer!

So, not only is Sonic:Brotherhood of Cliches borrowing things from Zelda, Paper Mario, and Halo, but also NiGHTS. =P C'mon, Bioware, you can do better than that.

LMFAO!!! XD XD XD

Ahh, that was good. ha ha!
Anyway, I always thought this little guy was pretty neat. I don't really not sh*t about Digimon, but I bought a little figure of him a long time ago because he made me think of mischievous little dream creatures. I can't say that they're inspired by them or some kind of ripoff though.

Wait- is that picture this same guy?? XD

However, there is a little girl or faerie-type-thingie on a PS1 RPG that Loren has. I'll have to dig it up and look up a picture. But the little girl looks like some sort of NiGHTS rip. XD At least thats how I remember it.

Yes, BioWare SHOULD be more original. I completly and totally agree.... :wub:

Funny story about that, on the 18th of December, when I was looking for JoD, I kept seeing a game with a purple guy on the front. But it wasn't NiGHTS, it was Spyro giving me false positives.

E: and Dark Brotherhood is also borrowing from Elite Beat Agents/Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, in terms of the battle system. Apparently, in S: tDB, strong attacks will have you tracing stuff on the screen. And the characters seem to have their Sonic X appearances, at least as far as Mugshots and dialog pictures go.

the only problem is when the public sees NiGHTS is that they'll think "Hey, that looks like that digimon thing!"
But they still won't know NiGHTS :lol: sad isn't it?

... I think NiGHTS is more well known than that one Digimon. Personally, I don't understand how Digimon continues to exist, but whatever. Anyway, for NiGHTS to really become more wide spread, SEGA's gotta make better NiGHTS games.

The Sailor Moon SuperS movie was the only good thing that came out of the SuperS anime.

But wait...this whole digimon thing... didn't it come out in 1996? The same year as NiD?

BTW interesting fact both of the names are a play on the word "harlequin" as in Harlequin Jester.

I don't think I ever saw that episode. Now you're all talking about him and I have no idea what you're talking about. I get this all the time in shool! You can't walk five feet down the hallway without running into a cluster of kids all huddling around speaking Creole and I have no idea what's going on.

I feel left out. Bugger.

Now here's a thought. What if someone invented a NiGHTS Mr. Potato Head? He could have parts from NiGHTS, Reala, Wizeman, and all of the four Dreamers (Claris, Elliot, Will, or Helen) and you could mix and match pieces to make your own hideous potato version of a Maren.

And now to get back on topic before I have admins yelling at me.

Krusty the Clown. From the Simpsons. If you put him in sillohuete (sp?) he looks like a jester. To me, anyway, and you all know by now that there's a couple of crossed wires up in here... *taps noggin, makes hollow, metallic sound like someone threw a rock in an empty warehouse*

I can't really find any screen shots of him, so here:

Episode summary from tv.com
"Nocturne, the ghost of dreams, puts everyone in Amity Park to sleep. Danny must defeat this evil ghost who uses people's dreams to make himself more powerful. To make things more interesting, Sam and Danny get stuck in a dream where their friendship is more than "just friends". Despite this, Danny must defeat Nocturne, who seems invincible against Danny's attacks. The only way to beat the king of dreams is for Danny to find a way into the dream world, or risk having Amity Park dream into a world of nightmares!"

Sounds a bit too familiar to me.

I wouldn't use the term "ripoff" if I were to compare the two. "Tribute" or "Allusion", perhaps.
