Description

This game is essentially a demo that was given away through various promotions and magazines. However, this was no ordinary demo. Whilst it may have 'only' appeared to be a one-level demo of "NiGHTS into dreams..." (Spring Valley), it was really so much more.

Christmas NiGHTS' title screen, level backgrounds and even character models change according to the season that you are in. Play it throughout an entire year and you will experience not only Christmas NiGHTS, but also Winter NiGHTS, New Year NiGHTS and NiGHTS: Limited Edition. You'll see Santa on his sleigh on Christmas Day, and Reala will make a guest appearance on April Fool's Day, to mention only a few of its little cameos.

The gameplay is identical to that of "NiGHTS into dreams...", as you'd expect, but it arguably has more longevity in it due to the Presents Box, which contains unlockable artwork, promotional movies, Time Attack and Link Attack modes, Sonic as a playable character in the game and more!

Trivia

The game was a Christmas gift from the Sonic Team. In Japan it was given to subscribers of the Famitsu magazine for the Christmas of '96. In the US, it was packaged with the Next Generation and Game Players magazines, also around the holiday of '96. In Europe it was first only bundled with certain Saturn packages or given as a promotional item when you bought two Saturn games, however a year later in '97 it was available with the December issue of Sega Saturn Magazine.
