NiGHTS

into dreams

IS HERE.

*Never, ever, ever, have you experienced anything like this.

Never, ever, ever, have you been able to fly, fluid and free, in real-time 3D.*

NOT UNTIL NIGHTS

The most revolutionary next-generation game ever. The first true showcase of Sega Saturn's stunning capabilities. The technological tour de force that has everyone in the gaming world absolutely spun.

The Story

One of the most immersive, mystical gaming experiences ever, NiGHTS establishes an entirely new gameplay paradigm. Think of it as psychodrama, an express escalator into the schizophrenic, mind-bending virtual world of your dreams. Richocheting between lighter-than-air reveries and dark, macabre nightmares, NiGHTS brings you face to face with both your guiding spirits and your innermost demons.

The World

Created by the renowned Sonic Team, NiGHTS is a full-on 3D masterpiece. A world with some of the most vibrant, inspired original graphics ever conceived by fevered imaginations. A world with deep, lush, dreamscape realities, its own micro-climates, even its own natural order. Imagine. Smoke, fog, clouds, rain, and water that appear in multiple levels of transparency. Waterfalls, currents, wind, and, yes, a tornado that all follow the laws of fluid physics. Independent light sources that play on both action and backgrounds at different, shifting luminosities. All backed by a raging soundtrack that blends jazz, orchestra, rock, world music, and effects.

The Gameplay

NiGHTS screams along at banshee speed. Despite massive 3D demands, its adaptive speed management system supports both breakneck gameplay and breakthrough environments. Witness its ability to replicate the true sensations of flight. Its lightning multiple morph sequences. Its over twenty tracking camera angles that scroll shift in real time. And its omnipresent symphony of 3D positional sound.

Engineered specifically to intensify the NiGHTS experience, Sega Saturn's 3D Control Pad establishes a new benchmark in smooth and dynamic operation. In analog mode, its pulse-sensitive thumbpad enables unprecedented maneuverability at breathtaking speeds. Switching to digital mode allows compatibility with almost all other Sega Saturn games. (Please call 1-800-USA-SEGA for any compatibility questions.)

*The Benediction

There's more, of course. But the rest is up to you. So kick off your walking shoes. Say your prayers. And fly. No way you'll sleep. But you'll have wicked good dreams.*
