The long night is finally over for fans of Nights Into Dreams. The 1996 Sega Saturn cult classic is receiving an HD remake for PlayStation Network, Windows, and Xbox Live Arcade this fall, according to a Sega blog post.

You can stop hunting for that Sega Saturn you traded for a Pog slammer.
You can stop hunting for that Sega Saturn you traded for a Pog slammer.

The original 3D game featured acrobatic maneuvers through fully polygonal environments and was made to take advantage of the Saturn's analog controller. It will be updated with HD graphics, leaderboards, and trophies and achievements. The game will also be playable in Saturn mode using the same graphical assets from the 1996 release.

“We’ve gotten a lot of requests about this game over the years and are very happy to be able to give both former Saturn owners and new players a chance to play it in its most beautiful form to date this fall," said Chris Olson, Sega's vice president of digital business.

I hope we get Golden Axe The Duel as well. I played that game on GameTap and liked it even with the choppy framerate. And the Dynamite Dekka games.

This game alone was worth owning a Saturn for. Well, aside the many excellent import titles...

@kbaily Are you sure you want that game? I've played it and let's just say having two characters attached by rings isn't as fun as it sounds.

Is it the same version that was for PS2 in Japan but in HD? There was also two mods - original and with enhanced graphics that looks exactly like in trailer. Christmas NiGHTS was there after completing main story. More info here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nights_into_Dreams...#Remake

I played it on modded console

If you want more classic Sega games being remade or ported, send messages to the support page at sega.com. They have a "feedback/idea" section there that they take into consideration (although they will give the standard answer "we do not comment on speculation").

Very happy this is coming out on digital. This is one game I always heard about that I literally never got a chance to play back in the day.

it would seem that someone who loved games on Sega consoles is listening! Between this, and the re-release of sonic CD, radiant silvergun, and guardian heroes, i'm in heaven!

Graphics look the same. I'm thinking all they did was add texture filtering and a higher resolution. It's probably avtually a good thing they didn't touch anything else.

This reminds me of Cave Story 3D, because you can play the original game, and Superman 64, because you have to fly trough rings. Is everyone interested in this game? It looks very boring

@Angry3DSNerd The flying through rings is a lot more fluent than that Superman64 garbage, and the story is actually rather compelling for an action game of that era. This is also a high-score classic, and I'm sure the leaderboards will be on fire.

I still play the Christmas NiGHTS demo that came with a magazine! As for this remake, I'd like to take the time to quote the great Peter Griffin....

THANK YOU! I've been waiting for this for a long time. I can't count the number of hours I put into that game. I worked so hard to "A" Rank all the levels, to the point to where I could have done it with my eyes closed.

The "sequel" was fun when it stuck to the original formula, but the levels where they tried something new ended up feeling confusing, control-wise, and took away from the replayability for me.

Definitely going to get it when it releases, and have a lot of fun revisiting one of my favorite Saturn games.

Now all they have to do is release an HD remake of Panzer Dragoon Azel. Then my life would be complete.

I can finally get to play one of the few good Saturn games that made it to NA! (not to say the system had a bad library, but most of the good ones were Japan only releases)

If Amazon or Gamersgate offer it, I'll be wishlisting NiGHTS for PC download very soon. Played it on a friends Saturn, back in 1998, and loved it.
