My only experience with Nights is hearing the music from the game often in PSO much later on. Same with Burning Rangers actually.

You've got 120 seconds to grab 30 crystals, shove them in the transparent domelike thing, and then have mad fun chaining, doing tricks, making the biggest Link you can while managing to get back to Nights's shrine before the timer runs out. Making good use of your time is what gets you good ranks. Get back to Nights's shrine and cash in your score, and do it all again on a different route with different setpieces and hazards, of which there are 3 per stage. Time being your enemy makes shit tense, especially when dodging spikes and enemies that'll lose you valuable seconds. You lose your score and any crystals you were holding for that route if you run out of time, which is disastrous if playing for score.

Tons to find and fuck with in the levels too, it's almost worth goofing off running round them as a kid, hatching Nightopians and making them happy/sad for the level music variations.

I rented the game way back when it was new and it blew my little adolescent mind. I was only able to play it for a little while and always wanted to get back to it. I recently got a nice setup with the Saturn and invested in that fancy 3d controller to play the game properly and... I kinda suck at it. That may change if I spend more time with it. I wonder if I should watch some videos of other people playing it? I am tempted to do that, but then that may kinda spoil game. After (only briefly) revisiting the game in 2020, I think the appeal of this game is more niche, more of a cult favorite or cult classic rather then a more mainstream classic like Mario 64 or the genesis Sonic games. That's not a value judgemental btw.

It's sad to reduce the psychology of it to just lashing out at the inability to perform in the male role.

Bullshit, he's a tragic produce of an environment that fosters mental illness, especially being susceptible to it as an autistic sperg or a combination thereof.
>overbearing single mother parenting that resulted in narcissism

There has to be a correlation between these sonic themed and with sorta DDR-like music games that makes autists particularly vulnerable. It's almost too transparent how similar they are, OP's game included.

I found it in a clearance bin at Best Buy in the USA. The Christmas demo disc was given to me from a friend. I got the Japanese releases on my visits to Japan, as they are very cheap. The sequel on the Wii, I remembered getting from Amazon, still haven't opened it yet but it was under $10USD. You can find it on Steam, 360, X1X, etc. digitally for cheap too now, I remember it was about 240-400 Microsoft Points. It is widely available for cheap, if anything you can always just download the ISO and emulate the game.


>>6166263
It predates /vr/, Sega games were not liked in Japan nor North America. I guess as Saturn emulation and ISOs are widely available now, people get to try them and realize it is an acquired taste.

I think the reason people still care about NiGHTS is because it really did have a unique aesthetic that nothing has really replicated since

Shame Sega has completely lost whatever creative spark they had back in the 90’s.

You have to go into it with the same mentality as something like Crazy Taxi. It's the kind of game that becomes more fun the better you get at it. Once you hit a certain point, you can start doing all sorts of crazy shit.

It wasn't a unique aesthetic, it was a continuation of Sonic 1 2 and 3. Same artists, same aesthetic.
