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.

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.

@slayer1090 We´re getting Jet Set Radio HD though and it was the same generation as Skies of Arcadia. The size of the game could be a factor though, but if Final Fantasy VII is being re-released, then why not? =)

I still have this, the controller, and the ULTRA rare Christmas Nights. I wonder if this will contain Christmas Nights?

@Carpetfluff Sega Saturn and N64, two classic 5th gen consoles that have aged so gracefully. Playstation 1, not so much.

@GunBladeHero It was the final US Saturn game to be officially released, it cost SEGA $58 million in budget in 1998 which by 2012 standards is around $90 million dollars and only 200,000 copies were produced You can't blame them.

@GunBladeHero

The source code wasn't "lost" as in "misplaced".

The hard drives containing the source code failed. Not at all uncommon at the time.

@GunBladeHero The fact that it only a handful of copies were ever produced. Source codes can be lost if a game isn't mass produced and then forgotten.

I'll never understand the exagerrated love some of these old Sega franchises get. This, Shenmue, Panzer Dragoon... never great games to begin with that are more or less unplayably stale nowadays.

Panzer Dragoon was never stale. Shenmue is a slow game, but it's more about exploring and communicating to get through the game. Nights was always fun. I still own the original copy of all 3 games and my Saturn.

There's nothing to understand. People have different tastes. It's that simple. There's a ton of games that I don't like, but you don't see me saying they never were great games.

@Spacerac This will likely defiantly bring Retro Saturn console sales up. Look out N64.
