Sneaky little NiGHTS perches on a tower brandishing the Bare Knuckle logo in the background of the image! No getting past us!

[UPDATE] SEGA Japan also shared the video below to announce the project, with a few NiGHTS highlights too!

This could be a very exciting thing to come in the future, and we'll keep our eyes peeled for future updates!

I hope we continue to get NiGHTS love as frequently as we have been~!

It seems that NiGHTS is coming to Sonic Rumble! No information has been given yet, aside from the image below as a teaser! 2 years in a row of getting something NiGHTS related in games, excellent!

[EDIT: Well it looks like the actual reveal happened while I was away at an Animation Summit! I've now included all the images the Sonic Rumble X account have used to promote the NiGHTS event, and embedded the trailer, enjoy!]

The initial teaser image

The Sonic Rumble X profile picture during the event.

The Sonic Rumble X profile banner image during the event, also showing Reala, a Nightopian and the Alarm Egg!

A promo image shared on the Sonic Rumble X Account, showing the same renders but the full bodies of NiGHTS and Reala!

The release trailer, showing NiGHTS and Reala in action!

I haven't played Sonic Rumble before but I'll do my best to get a hold of it and get some footage when the time comes!

Until next time~!

See you on the track~!

Back in 2006 SEGA released Sonic Riders, a racing game in the Sonic Universe where everyone uses air boards called Extreme Gear. In typical SEGA fashion NiGHTS made a cameo as a playable character, this time riding on his board the Night Sky!

Also making an appearance in the two SEGA stages was Twin Seeds tower, a set piece you jaunt around, with NiGHTS imagery such as Nightopians and an Ideya Palace showing face too! The gameplay videos below show NiGHTS in the SEGA stages, recorded on an Xbox 360!

In the worlds worst kept secret (seriously, he was on the back of the box!), NiGHTS has been revealed as the next free DLC character for Sonic Racing Crossworlds! He is scheduled to be released in December, a fitting time considering the series' associations with Christmas! Also in the trailer are AiAi, Tangle and Whisper, the former of which finally has bottoms on

I'll make a proper page with some gameplay once he's actually released, and you might see me racing online as NightmarenNiGHTS! It's my only reprieve atm from a nightmare of a semester at uni TvT

Don't Forget NiGHTS~!

Hey, It's …TRiPPY (yes I'm still alive) with a quick heads up just to say that due to new UK online safety regulations coming into force tomorrow I'm having to take certain interactive aspects of the site offline. I just need some time to figure out what measures/services need to be implemented to keep everything running and within the law. Small UK website owners haven't really been given any real or good way to achieve this, with many choosing to close down instead. But this place is a legacy for me and I want to keep it around for years to come either updated or archived for game information purposes. Dex has done a fantastic job as admin here despite most of our system breaking down over the years. But it's important to me that this place still exists in some shape or form. I still adore NiGHTS of course and always will

So give me a few months to see what all the other small website owners are doing and I'll try to fix it all up again if it's possible. Laws will be laws if we agree with them or not. But I'm just being safe for the moment and to keep everyone else safe too.

Love you all! I hope you've been chasing your dreams and doing great stuff.

Hello, it's been a while~!

LEGO IDEAS member Takuro has come up with a fantastic idea, a "NiGHTS into Dreams…" LEGO play set! If you're unfamiliar with LEGO IDEAS, members submit designs for people to support, and if it reaches a certain amount of supporters within a time period LEGO themselves could release the set officially!

So get those LEGO accounts going and support this set because this is one that deserves to be made! And will likely need it too, given the niche nature of the NiGHTS franchise~!

I've curated the pictures from the site here below, including an additional picture of additional eyes for the NiGHTS model~!

Here's hoping we can work together to bring this dream into reality hehehe~!

Another combo Community Post is here, combining submissions from both July and August!
