"NiGHTS: Into Dreams" is the SEGA Saturn's classic "almost-perfect" masterpiece. You'll be hard pressed to find another game with such a fantastic atmosphere. Much like the classic Mario series, NiGHTS is about having fun... regardless of your age. Gameplay revolves around collecting chips within a time-limit and then returning to a marker and then starting the process again. Movement is mostly in a 2D field with you controlling the free-flying main character; you're limited to one button for a dash attack and two buttons to make NiGHTS preform acrobatics, as well as NiGHTS "vacuum" attack that occurs when you fly in a circle quickly enough. This might seem simple at first, but dashing through a level trying to collect chips in succession to maintain a combo can get very difficult very quickly. The bosses in NiGHTS are very creative, though they do follow pretty set patterns. Figure it out and they fall very quickly; the faster you topple them the more of a multiplier you get for your top score. NiGHTS was also one of Sonic Team's first forays into playing around with AI that the player could raise. Depending on how you treat the tiny little Nightopians in the levels of the game the music and creatures will change. It's not an indepth part of the game, but it can certainly be entertaining to see the Nightopian/Nightmare hyrbid you breeded on accident. The biggest drawback to "NiGHTS: Intro Dreams" is simply that it's very short. 7 stages in all. Even with the desire to max out your high score and simply freely explore the levels despite the time limit that's not very much. What's there is excellent, but there's no denying the shortness of the game. Still, definately a classic.Read full review
Nights into Dreams is a game not many people that are not into gaming hear very often. This is mostly because its been trapped on the Saturn since 1996 and has not been ported to any other consoles. This is a shame since many people never get to experience the brilliant game that is Nights. Its graphics look outdated, but the gameplay is fun and addicting! If you have a Saturn lying around or are able to get your hands on one, THIS IS A TITLE YOU NEED TO CHECK OUT!(Also it requires the 3d control pad to play)

The game itself is in great condition. It (as well as Virtua Fighter 2) is a must-have for any Saturn owner because of its replay value (though NiGHTS admittedly has a mondo learning curve for those who haven't played it). Though the blue blur is only seen during the Sonic Team logo, NiGHTS has similar aspects which made the Sonic games so amazing: fast gameplay, colorful and detailed environments, simple controls, cool music; and above all: while Sonic made you feel you were going fast, NiGHTS makes you feel like you're flying.

This is one of the cult classics on the saturn. Releases in'96, this one was a hit for saturn owners who knew what to get. You play as claris and elliot, then turn into Nights. the objective is to stop wizeman. to complete a level, you must collect 20 blue orbs and bring them to the idea catcher, once you have the idea, you can fly back to the base. repeat the process, and then a boss fight follows. A great game, I beat it the night I bought it. TIP: Instead of getting the blue orbs with Nights, get them with claris or elliot (watch out for the clock!) Once you have about 12 orbs, go get nights and pickup the rest. this helps save time, therefor you get higher bonus time points. once you have an orb, dont immediately bring it back to base, go around a couple more times, rack up that score! anyways, i give this a 9/10, a must own!Read full review
Still a good price, for now at least but definitely worth a little more. Such a fun game and a lively soundtrack. This is what sonic should have been on the Saturn but this is more than a worthy successor and wound up being a truly unique game for its time. For fans of the Saturn definitely pick up this title while it’s still under $100 cause eventually it’s gonna get into the couple of hundred range just like dragon force or panzer dragoon saga
