I’ve been playing NiGHTS for years and I forgot who or what the character is in the game.
Does anybody know about this character?

I had the original game and loved it. Initially hated it because it wasn’t what I was expecting, but since I paid so much I played it and got into it. Fun game.
The game you bought to get the 3D pad for the Saturn.
There’s a Wiki:
All I remember is that I was super excited for this game because of the hype and then when I finally got to play it, it was kinda shit.
I only ever played the demo, and I really dug it.
Would love to try out the whole game.
Did not hear any hype though
It’s in Steam now for like $7.
It played fine on SteamDeck after I searched up which version of Proton to force it to run under, and did some controls mapping.
That said…It’s… Just the demo.
Unintuitive boss fight mechanics, a one hit kill and a three life maximum (before the game resets itself!) means: I just kept repeating the demo for the vast majority of my play time.
I could watch a tutorial on the rest of the bosses, but honestly the later levels (that I have reached) are just different paint added to first level.
6/10 - It’s surprisingly good for being one of the earliest attempts at a making a 3d game.
If I was going to replay it, I would seach up a boss fight tutorial first, to save myself time. It’s just not worth playing through the whole game each time I want 3 more chances to guess each under-communicated boss mechanic.
Actually, you can still get the full Steam game for free at https://www.sega60th.com/register
Not really free if you have to link your account.
Yeah, free if you give us all your game and play history…
Ooh. Neat!
I hated the original Saturn controllers.
Ah, yes. The tech demo for how analog controls work…
The character is named Nights. Right? I thought that was the point of the title.
Yeah, they’re the character from that pinball mini game in Sonic Adventure.
My grandma loves this guy! I played a bit when I was younger, but this and sonic were her shit.
I’ve only actually played the first game, but as I understand it, NiGHTS is a high-ranking Nightmaren just like the monstrous bosses they fight. NiGHTS happens to be powerful enough to be independent. Whenever the other Nightmaren mug a dreaming visitor, if the visitor keeps hold of one of their Ideyas, NiGHTS finds it more fun to help the visitor wreck everything instead.
Edit: corrected NiGHTS to they/them pronouns (and while I’m here, you can still get the Steam version of NiGHTS for free)
