Not even an announcement from SEGA, great marketing...

SEGA probably doesn't even know it's out yet.

"That's MAGIC!" - Paul Daniels

SEGA of America - "Now how did THAT get on there?"

*SEGA of Europe sniggers*

SEGA of Japan - "WHO TOLD YOU TO RELEASE IT EARLY! NOW EVERYONE WILL KNOW!"

[Radrappy]

I don't know how many of you have tried the game since it's been patched but it's fucking incredible.  It's instantly noticeable how much more controllable Nights is and how much more it is a joy to play.  I'm very proud of Sega to have released this patch!  I'd wager that it would have reviewed even better had it been released with these controls.

NiGHTS into dreams… – 1996 Developer Interview



Yuji Naka – Producer
Naoto Oshima – Director
Takashi Iizuka – Lead Designer
Norihiro Nishiyama – CG Movie Director

"It turned out to be a completely different game from what we first imagined!
We initially planned to make a game about a flying character, rendered in beautifully drawn 2D sprite art… a sidescroller closer in feel to Sonic.
As the development went on, however, we gradually came to realize that the Saturn could handle whatever we threw at it."

Yuji Naka Shocked to Learn He’s Not in Credits for HD Remaster of NiGHTS,
Criticizes Ports and Remakes

“I don’t think it’s right that they are labeling the game as if they made it, when they could have done it because the original existed in the first place.
It just looks like you’re taking someone else’s game, copying it, and calling it my game. Isn’t that embarrassing?”

SEGA PlayStation 3 PSN Titles To Buy Before Sony Shuts Down the Store

The PSN (XBLA and PC) versions are pretty great since they include the new graphics, the old SEGA Saturn graphics, Online Leaderboards, and even the fabled Christmas NiGHTS!
Sadly the PSN version does exclude the two player mode and Sonic the Hedgehog level.

DiGi-Valentines is best for NiGHTS.

That's for sure.
But he's rather salty when Nights isn't included in Super Monkey Ball: Banana Mania.
