PLEASE don't screw this up Sega:

NiGHTS Into Dreams gets a sweet sixteen present: an HD re-release on XBLA, PSN, and PC

Everyone's favorite surreal flying game for Sega Saturn, "NiGHTS into dreams...." is getting an HD rebirth "this fall" from Sega. Planned for Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC, NiGHTS is an HD update of the original Sega Saturn release from 1996.

Beyond the beautified graphics, Sega's adding a 16:9 aspect ratio, leaderboards, Achievements/Trophies, and "an optional Saturn Mode" (which reverts the game back to 1996 graphics).

Full Joystiq.com Article

The Joystiq article has a trailer and some screenshots. I will buy this on XBLA day one!
 
This is a day one purchase for me. Nights was truly Yuji Naka's masterpiece. This game made me never regret buying a Sega Saturn.
 
This sounds good, but I really wish Sega would add some more characters to it, to keep it interesting.
 
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT......Unless your playing the Christmas level.


Probably the simplest fun game I have played next to joust or flicky.
 
They need to remake Shining Force III with all the releases...........
 
Hmm I never owned a Saturn nor a DC so I missed this gem. Gem because I always hear great things about it. I remember a ps2 port came out but only in Japan so I couldn't get it. Now that's on PSN, I may buy it but only of it has a platinum. Yea ima trophy whore but these older games need more than a stretched image and higher Rez graphic to win me over.

I think the fact it has the original is also sweet so you can relive it of you had this back in the stoneage or want to compare it to the new version, which I'll be doing. Wonder if they could do a Vita port. I may be selling mine but this would be a nice portable game.

I'd love to see this happen but I highly doubt it will. As far I know the rest of the series was never translated into English. But I'd easily pay $60 for a rerelease of them.

On topic, was this what Sega was alluding to sometime last year about bringing back a game that wasn't related to the Sonic franchise? Or did I miss what they announced about it?

I loved Flicky!!!! :D

P.S. I never played Nights, looking forward to getting to finally. Grabbing it for PC as soon as I can at any decent price.
 
Steam day one. Awesome!!

Oh yeah.

Yup, Scenario 1 was the only one translated for the European and American markets. I still have it, for my Saturn (along with NiGHTS), but it would be awesome to get the other two scenarios. I don't think it'll ever happen though :(

I'll be curious to see what other games Sega brings over to the current-gen consoles, with graphical upgrades. I don't think it's out yet, but they're also brining Jet Set Radio to the Xbox, Playsation and PC.

Here's hoping for Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force III.
 
i loved my sega saturn. only system to come with three FREE games. i like the idea of brining some of these games back though NID never interested me at all.
 
Nothing this old is ever as good as you remember it to be. Except mario games.

I would rather have Burning Rangers.
 
Nights, Panzer everything, Shining Force III everything, etc.

Saturn had a lot of gems folks likely missed out on. It was a horrible choice to throw in that second SH2 but the entire concept was originally meant to be a 2D power house so they were sort of screwed regardless. The Playstation had Tekken, Battle Arena Toshinden and other great looking 3D titles on release along with Ridge Racer which made Virtual Fighter and Daytona look like shit in comparison.
 
Yeah, Saturn was definitely a decent console. Imagine how different the current console landscape would look if it was Sega that Square jumped ship to and not Sony. Ah, oh well. I'll definitely pick up this title in the hopes that it will be successful enough that Sega will decide to remake more and more of their older titles. They have a lot of gems that were missed due to limited NA releases.

Hmm, think I'm going to dig out my Saturn and play a few games of Fighter's Megamix.
 
Really glad to see a high def remix of this game... So amazing!
Shut up and take my money!
 
I'm a long time gamer and own a Saturn myself but this game was not that damn good.

Sure it was pretty for the time and something new but I see everyone here that's shouting "OMFGWTFBBQ SO EXCITED!!1!" will not be playing this a week after they get it.

Games just too damn boring now...go back and play it on the Saturn (if you have one) because its so...I don't know...lame now. Popped it in played for like 5 minutes and was meh.

Never ceases to amaze me how excited people get over something they'll end up not caring about. Hell, I'd go as far to say that most of you have probably never even played the damn game to begin with!

This may be the case. I still have a copy of Nights with the "3D" controller in box. However, I was never able to finish the game since I guess I ran out of internal memory on my Saturn and could never save, so I'll be picking this up for sure.

I still have my Saturn, along with a copy of NiGHTS and Christmas NiGHTS. Up until I moved a couple months ago, most of my consoles were hooked up and I actually played the original game earlier in the year. I still found it enjoyable. With leaderboards and achivements I'm pretty sure I'll be playing this remake for more than a week.

But that's just me... :p
 
I loved this game, I still love this game... I have a Saturn somewhere (lost in a closet, bought years after they were dead for nostalga's sake) but I play the PS2 version (Japanese, but I know the story so it doesn't matter) in PCSX2 sometimes. Parts run like crap. It'll be nice to have a native PC version if nothing else.
 
Since I'm at work and I can't check out the link, does this include Christmas NiGHTS? also wished they could somehow find a way to get Guardian Heroes.

Guardian Heroes is on XBLA right now. Almost a year old now I think.

There was an update to the original article, that said this:

Update: We asked Sega whether the Christmas NiGHTS content would be part of the HD re-release, and were told, "Can't confirm anything about that yet." We have to keep an eye out in "the coming weeks," as Sega has "a lot of stuff in the air right now for this year."
