Oh man... you're REALLY good at this! I mean, wow! This is some of the best gameplay I've seen since... ever! You, good sir, and fantastic at this game! Thumbs up!
@skyrunner14 Thanks!! =D I prefer playing NiGHTS on the Sega Saturn when I go for high scores. Maybe I should play the PS2 version a little more and see how high I can get! :)
@Cesariono The PS2 is region locked so you can't play Japanese games on a North American console unless you have it modded or use swapmagic or something similar
@NiGHTScharlie Ahh, yes, my PS2 is modded and I have played American games on my European PS2. I didn't know an American game would not work without the mod though. I assumed it was region-free like the PS3.
i dont know why they have NiGHTS as one of the most under-rated for SEGA....even on his 15th birthday...he got nothing special....but a re-release of the original NiGHTS on a different console....lemme say all sonic does is run around random stages and the bosses arent too entertaining...AND THEY SPAM S.S in every SINGLE GODDAMN GAME!! NiGHTS goes on breathtaking journeys...defeats DANGEROUS BOSSES THAT SONIC COULD NEVER DO!! and he can do AWESOME transformations..i say nights beats sonic!
this game was never released in america? i SWEAR i played this game when i was little. and it was weird as hell to me, i had no clue what to do. all i remember is running around endlessly while collecting blue orbs and running from floating blue saucers.
For whatever reason I've always found this to actually look worse than the Saturn version, not from a technical standpoint, but, there's just something about the original that's different.
I use a flip lid that's modified within the original PS2 slim's lid and a set of swap magic disk to play this game. :3
I would love to try it using HDMI cables running on a backwards compatible Japanese PS3 one of these days... If I can ever find a jap system that's still backwards compatible. =\
@BouncekDeLemos That would be cool to have a Japanese PS3 with backwards compatibility. I have a US PS3 with backwards compatibility and was able to get NiGHTS to work using swap magic and an external hard drive. Looks pretty good. Although I can't seem to get it to work anymore. It's a bit finicky.
@NiGHTScharlie Awesome, I wonder how you do that? (Unless you mean you have a HDD ISO loader) I would love to use something like that on a PS3, I think most Dual-layer disks are finkicky using those (God of War is one of them)
I've tryied using component cables on my PS2 to get a better picture but with no luck, the PS2's video hardware is limited, so the picture loses signal and remains black. D: PS3 would probably be the best choice. :3
@BouncekDeLemos The way I did it on the PS3 was to use Swap Magic Coder, which lets you run software on a usb stick, which lets you run a region free ISO loader off an external hard drive or usb stick. The only issue I ran into was the FMV's were really slow and choppy, but the gameplay was solid.
@NiGHTScharlie I play this in the PS2 emulator for PC, you can run it in HD and no need to worry about region stuff. I run it full speed (most of the time at 1280x800 with speed hacks on) on my laptop, Core 2 Duo 2ghz, GeForce 9600m GT, so not a beast of a system by any means. Other games don't run full speed but I am lucky NiGHTS does!
i just cant watch the end of this, i'm in japan now and saw this in the shop and thought, my god im pickin this up when im about to leave, coz i left my ps2 back home (-_-)
Wow, thank you so much for this. I remember seeing this game so many times as a kid. I was too young to remember anything but the main character, Nights. This was really nostalgic to watch. Thanks again!
Just got this a few days ago, a very amazing port, does the Saturn version justice. I also beat it today... my favorite PS2 game... and it's a port... lawl.
@Realathenightmaren2 swap magic tricks your american ps2 into playing japanese games, basically by putting in an american game first and swapping it out with a japanese game without pressing the eject button
@Chris10239 Yep, everything in the game is in English, except for the ps2 save screens. It also includes Christmas NiGHTS, however they did not include the Sonic mode =(
@Chris10239 Nice! The way I do it is a bit weird. Most people use swap magic to swap the discs, but I use swap magic coder to run a program off a usb stick. The program then runs the game off of a ps2 hard drive. That way I don't have to worry about swapping discs.
@JesusSavedMe2008 It looks like the Saturn :P But yeah I could do one sometime. I'd actually like to redo all of these videos in higher quality at some point.
@Zawicki1 It wasnt meant to redo the textures and graphics engine. Just revamp it to smooth the polygons and fix the numerous pop-up and draw distance issues. The game was a masterpiece of the 32-bit era. It didn't need remade. Just polished.
@GonoManiax Derr but I'm saying it looks horrible, graphicswise. I know that graphics doesn't mean the game isn't fun, but they could have atleast made slightly better textures and smoothed the polygons.
@Zawicki1 the "Sega Saturn dream" version on this ps2 remake has some antialiasing, and a better polygonal enviroment. But it's almost the Sega Saturn game, technically speaking.
But the "New Dream version" has way better graphics, the resolution is higher and everything looks smoother, anyways, it could've been better, sure...
You should check out the game itself and don't judge it by watching this super low resolution vid, though. It looks prettier on the ps2.
Much love for NiGHTS -- one of the handful of videogames in existence that I consider "perfect.." I recently purchased a new/sealed Nightopia Dreampack, but I can't play it (or any other game) until I finish the novel I'm writing. I keep the sealed game box on my desk as a motivator.
@SegaNintendoGamer Ah the Nightmaren option allows you to select which boss you want to go up against at the end of each level. Once you beat the game it will give you the option of choosing a boss or setting it to random. I always like choosing Gillwing because he's the easiest one for me :)
I got Nights journey of dreams for the wii. But I think it's very hard. Is this one easier? Oh,and some people on the internet said this might come for the virtual console .
Is this really for PS2 now?! I'm totally a PS2 devotee, and I frickin' LOVED this game on Saturn. I'd play the hell out of this for years if I had on an easier system to own! And speaking of OWNING!! What great playing!! Racking up score, and making that level your bitch! Super awesome! I miss it so....please let me know if it is indeed available for PS2! Keep owning! :)
Damn, I always had that childhood memory of that chick saying "Sonic Team" in the back of my head and I always thought it was off a bit. It seems like she's saying "Sonikku Chiimu" and having just recently learning the connection between 'Chi' and 'Tee' I think I understand what the hell's going on. So, yeah, she's Japanese and I'm a subconsciously xenophobic American ponce. XD
@R0ckG1r7 Basically you are a kid and when you enter the dream world you lose 4 of your ideya (orbs that glow white, blue, green, yellow). The goal is to recover the 4 ideya within the 4 different "Mares" (different laps) by collecting 20 blue Chips and taking them to the Ideya Capture. Once you have the first ideya you can go after the second one. At the end of 4 you get to fight a boss. All the other stuff, like flying through rings and doing acrobatics, is just for fun and for points. Help?
@R0ckG1r7 True :) If I were to show you the cutscenes it might help a little, but you're right, a lot of it you have to figure out on your own. The very first time I played this game on the Sega Saturn I had no idea what was going on! It took me a while :)
Pretty sure you can use an Action Replay cartridge.
Seriously wtf? The PS2 version is more or less full English and yet Sega haven't released in the west. With the disastrous management of the Yakuza series' localization and being seemingly useless with PS3 versions of multiplats, Sega need to fix up in the Software department before they think about getting back into the Hardware race.
Don't get me wrong though, I've loved Sega longer than any of the guys that'll thumb me down ever will.
I wonder why they never released this port in the US? Maybe they'll release it here on the Wii someday.. Or Xbox live... or PSN. I'll never get to play it on account of I don't have a Sega Saturn.
They [Sonic Team] only intended to release it on Japan because, according to them, there was huge demand for it there. No chance of this coming to America any time soon. They weren't too happy with some of their recent Sonic releases, but NiGHTS is something Sonic Team are really proud of . If you want to play it, buy Swap Magic 3, cover your [slim] PS2 sensors and buy the game itself.
IS ANYBODY THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX?????? Why is it that nobody is asking, if this game can be played on
PS3 60gig or 20 gig (usa version) - NOT ON NSTC mode, But if this (Nights Jap. ver PS2 game) can be played on the HD mode 1080i or 1080 p & etc?? My USA PS3 60gig can play PS2 games on a high resoultion HD mode instead on NTSC! If I had a copy of the game, I would try to see if it works! Once again, Has anybody tried to play this game on a USA PS3 20 or 60gig in HD mode?
Thanks a million! Now I know what I'm going to do!! I just downloaded the ISO for the game from A Japanese torrent site! Ohh dam I lost the link!! I'm going to convert the game on a USB stick and use it with SwapMagic!!
@Kendostudio you must. This game is faster, and there isn't any filler missions or boring stuff like in the wii game. 100% arcade fun with a lot of depth in the gameplay. And the music is top-notch.
For the time the graphics were top notch, the sound and music is still great, the gameplay is highly addictive once you know what to do and realize how much detail there is. As for the kids, it's the idea of having courage and dualizing with NiGHTS in the dreamworld. Also it's fun to explore as the kids because you can reach areas that you can't as NiGHTS and you can collect and interact with different things in the world, like chips and Pians. Have fun! =D
Thank you, I guess it was a great game at the time 3D games were developped.
Without offending, I though this game had a special gameplay and set, kinda like Mario Party which had a smart original gameplay. Anyway, I'm treasuring this game with the Saturn.
I think the gameplay is pretty unique. I don't know many games that play like it. Some people just love the idea of flying around in the environments. I personally love the arcade aspect of the game and like setting records for high scores.
Hi did you use an emulator with this or do you have a recorder plugged into your TV? if you are using an emulator what are the specs to play this game?
I lost my 3D sega saturn pad in a box of shite so i need to dig it out again...i do like the clasic sega saturn version and the PS2 version has beautiful scenery and graphics...something the sega saturn was lacking in its era even though NiGHTS blew me away...love that game
This is not much of a problem. As soon as region protection is circumvented, the PS2 will output a signal with PAL encoded colour but NTSC 60Hz timings, something that nearly every PAL TV plays without problems.
In JoD you can get mepians, but not mepian eggs, they are just normal pian eggs. In NiD you could get different looking eggs based on the type of mepian.
Ah...no it doesn't work on a north american ps2, unless you use something like swap magic or another trick to play import games. I run mine off a hard drive I added to the ps2 that has software to bypass the region lock.
i am new in night's world and never played it before in saturn coz i havent got a saturn i only have a ps1 back in those 32 bit old days! but after sega made a remake for it for the ps2 i got one after i saw it in a local video games store i played it and complete it but since i am one of those gamer's that don't let a game to be left alone! till completed 100% i have try try and try!! and still never ended it 100% so!!
"what will hapend if you find all those angel look guys or hatch them out"
The "angel guys" are called nightopians and mepians, and there are hundreds of combinations. Different kinds will breed and create new kinds. They can have different heads, arms, bodies, feet. The hardest one to breed is a Super Pian or King Pian, and he will actually build a tower in your game with the help of the other pians.
so it's meen as long as you'er keep tracking the game data file on your ps2 memory card and keep on playing you can breed them and rised them like the chao in sonic adventure and those unhatched egg will hatch after a long playing?
You can hatch eggs by walking over them as the kids or flying into them with NiGHTS. To get mepians (a mix between a nightopian and a nightmaren) you have to grab a nightmaren as NiGHTS and throw them into nightopians. When they collide you will get a mepian egg.
As I've responded to the "Nights Journey of Dreams", I will do the same for this lesser of two evils. Pretty much this game has a few interesting tweaks or two, and a VERY minor graphics upgrade. It's like turning a 5 pixel image to 8. Despite the fact that Nights Into Dreams (original) was epic, I had expected MUCH more for a remake. The graphics I thought should have been insanely great and revamped considering the lack of change. It's worth the buy if you never played it though.
To sort of edit my previous post, I would also like to mention that the lack of change is a BEAUTIFUL lack of change in comparison to the wii version (which should be burned and never seen again). I continue to wish that some things would have been updated according to technology available today, but as I've mentioned before, it is the lesser of two evils.
My fav level was the soft museum one with the mirrors and yellow brick road which morphed belowyou. The garden with the flower clock which correlated with the saturns real time clock was delightful as well. SIGH. - what happened tobeautiful, delightful games instead of racing and FPS? I love GT but I suppose the nearest thing to this MIGHT be LBP.
i will not forgive sega for not bringing this to america

They [Sonic Team] only intended to release it on Japan because, according to them, there was huge demand for it there. No chance of this coming to America any time soon. They weren't too happy with some of their recent Sonic releases, but NiGHTS is something Sonic Team are really proud of . If you want to play it, buy Swap Magic 3, cover your [slim] PS2 sensors and buy the game itself.

IS ANYBODY THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX?????? Why is it that nobody is asking, if this game can be played on
PS3 60gig or 20 gig (usa version) - NOT ON NSTC mode, But if this (Nights Jap. ver PS2 game) can be played on the HD mode 1080i or 1080 p & etc?? My USA PS3 60gig can play PS2 games on a high resoultion HD mode instead on NTSC! If I had a copy of the game, I would try to see if it works! Once again, Has anybody tried to play this game on a USA PS3 20 or 60gig in HD mode?
seaco2000 2 years ago
I have a backwards compatible 60gig and it doesn't work. It still has region protection, the same reason it can't be played on a ps2.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
So you tried it on HD mode?... HDMI or the 5 color wires?
seaco2000 2 years ago
The mode has nothing to do with it actually. It's the fact that the region code is Japanese instead of American.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
Thanks a million! Now I know what I'm going to do!! I just downloaded the ISO for the game from A Japanese torrent site! Ohh dam I lost the link!! I'm going to convert the game on a USB stick and use it with SwapMagic!!
seaco2000 2 years ago
Yep, swapmagic works pretty good

@Kendostudio you must. This game is faster, and there isn't any filler missions or boring stuff like in the wii game. 100% arcade fun with a lot of depth in the gameplay. And the music is top-notch.

I think both Journey of Dreams and NiGHTS into dreams are great games.

Oh yeah! It's 99% english. The only japanese text is when it saves so it's a shame it didn't get released outside of japan.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
But you need a japanese PS2 to play it. God Dammit Sega, I loved the sequel now bring me the prequel.
Kendostudio 2 years ago
I managed to get this game and the Saturn by Ebay.
I'm now about to play this game, which seemed to have been considered epic on Saturn. Can someone tell me why?
Another thing I wonder: is there a point in controlling the girl and boy at the beginning if you have to control Night to finish each level?
Zorianff9 2 years ago
For the time the graphics were top notch, the sound and music is still great, the gameplay is highly addictive once you know what to do and realize how much detail there is. As for the kids, it's the idea of having courage and dualizing with NiGHTS in the dreamworld. Also it's fun to explore as the kids because you can reach areas that you can't as NiGHTS and you can collect and interact with different things in the world, like chips and Pians. Have fun! =D
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
Thank you, I guess it was a great game at the time 3D games were developped.
Without offending, I though this game had a special gameplay and set, kinda like Mario Party which had a smart original gameplay. Anyway, I'm treasuring this game with the Saturn.
Zorianff9 2 years ago
I think the gameplay is pretty unique. I don't know many games that play like it. Some people just love the idea of flying around in the environments. I personally love the arcade aspect of the game and like setting records for high scores.

Kk thanks...i still have this for my Sega Saturn...beautiful game...you are stunning at this game by the way
brendude95 2 years ago
Thanks! I actually prefer the Saturn version. The controls seem a bit better, although the graphics are a nice update on the PS2.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
I lost my 3D sega saturn pad in a box of shite so i need to dig it out again...i do like the clasic sega saturn version and the PS2 version has beautiful scenery and graphics...something the sega saturn was lacking in its era even though NiGHTS blew me away...love that game
brendude95 2 years ago
This is not much of a problem. As soon as region protection is circumvented, the PS2 will output a signal with PAL encoded colour but NTSC 60Hz timings, something that nearly every PAL TV plays without problems.

Can you get mepian eggs in NiGHTS Journey of Dreams?
crimsonfox2008 2 years ago
In JoD you can get mepians, but not mepian eggs, they are just normal pian eggs. In NiD you could get different looking eggs based on the type of mepian.

Realacide 2 years ago
Ah...no it doesn't work on a north american ps2, unless you use something like swap magic or another trick to play import games. I run mine off a hard drive I added to the ps2 that has software to bypass the region lock.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
is that stuff able to be found in any software store or are there speacific places or any way easier?!!!!????!?!?!??!?! >(
Realacide 2 years ago
swap magic is the most common way to play imports and you'll likely have to buy it off the internet as stores won't carry it
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
i am new in night's world and never played it before in saturn coz i havent got a saturn i only have a ps1 back in those 32 bit old days! but after sega made a remake for it for the ps2 i got one after i saw it in a local video games store i played it and complete it but since i am one of those gamer's that don't let a game to be left alone! till completed 100% i have try try and try!! and still never ended it 100% so!!
"what will hapend if you find all those angel look guys or hatch them out"
fareedbakhit 2 years ago
I'm like that, too. What you said about you not playing the game or leaving games alone UNTIL finished.
tencents6 2 years ago
well, welcome to the perfect complete side bro : )
fareedbakhit 2 years ago
The "angel guys" are called nightopians and mepians, and there are hundreds of combinations. Different kinds will breed and create new kinds. They can have different heads, arms, bodies, feet. The hardest one to breed is a Super Pian or King Pian, and he will actually build a tower in your game with the help of the other pians.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago
so it's meen as long as you'er keep tracking the game data file on your ps2 memory card and keep on playing you can breed them and rised them like the chao in sonic adventure and those unhatched egg will hatch after a long playing?
fareedbakhit 2 years ago
You can hatch eggs by walking over them as the kids or flying into them with NiGHTS. To get mepians (a mix between a nightopian and a nightmaren) you have to grab a nightmaren as NiGHTS and throw them into nightopians. When they collide you will get a mepian egg.
NiGHTScharlie 2 years ago

Nights has no sex.
burningranger01 2 years ago
As I've responded to the "Nights Journey of Dreams", I will do the same for this lesser of two evils. Pretty much this game has a few interesting tweaks or two, and a VERY minor graphics upgrade. It's like turning a 5 pixel image to 8. Despite the fact that Nights Into Dreams (original) was epic, I had expected MUCH more for a remake. The graphics I thought should have been insanely great and revamped considering the lack of change. It's worth the buy if you never played it though.
PslatorS 2 years ago
To sort of edit my previous post, I would also like to mention that the lack of change is a BEAUTIFUL lack of change in comparison to the wii version (which should be burned and never seen again). I continue to wish that some things would have been updated according to technology available today, but as I've mentioned before, it is the lesser of two evils.

Charlie, did you edit out the loading times or something? Because my copy/ console definitely doesn't load the menus as fast as this.

brendude95 2 years ago
My fav level was the soft museum one with the mirrors and yellow brick road which morphed belowyou. The garden with the flower clock which correlated with the saturns real time clock was delightful as well. SIGH. - what happened tobeautiful, delightful games instead of racing and FPS? I love GT but I suppose the nearest thing to this MIGHT be LBP.
