Greetings,
I figured you lovely people would be interested in a fun little cameo NiGHTS gets in Reverge Labs' newly released fighter Skullgirls.

Below you can see one of Cerebella's alternate colour schemes which you may recognise.



Apologies for the awful quality video. That stage also has some muted colours so you can't properly see the costume, but I hope you get the idea

Hm.. doesn't seem like it's an overt reference to NiGHTS, the colors could just be co-incidental

The game is loaded with references aside from this. One of Cerebella's other costumes is another famous jester - Harley Quinn from Batman. All of the other characters have palettes based on games and animes in some shape or form.

It'd be a pretty big coincidence if that was all this costume was considering she already wears jester themed a costume:

Purple head dress with darker purple marks.
Purple and yellow triangular patterned collar - equivalent to NiGHTS' cuffs.
Large white sleeves.
Pink body covering.
Purple legs with yellow clasps on the ankle.
Even her eye colour is changed to purple.

Due to the limits of what you can do by changing the colours of an existing character palette this is pretty much as close as you can come to mimicing the character.

No mention of NiGHTS for Cerebella, of course it'd be great if it was, but so far no proof that it is

That's the magic of TV Tropes - anyone can add things in there ;D

None of the alternate palettes have proof, but it's pretty wildly accepted what they are. If I said I was looking at a jester themed character with a purple hat, wide white sleeves and purple pants, who would be your first guess?

Ah, I see about the TV Tropes thing.. would be cool if we could hear from the creators of the game about it, maybe we can try asking them if they have an e-mail or something to know for sure if they referenced NiGHTS

IDK, if this is supposed to be a NiGHTS reference, I think it's way too subtle.

[JaxTH]

I don't see how having purple arms means it's a NiGHTS reference.

I can see why you think it's a NiGHTS tribute. The color palette is very close especially when looking at the shoes.
