Trailer PC Xbox 360 PS3

HD Remake of the flying platformer game is coming this Fall on Xbox Live Arcade, PSN and PC digital download. After its initial release on SEGA Saturn 16 years ago, Nightopia is back with improved graphics but also a Saturn mode, allowing players to experience the game with the original graphics. First trailer and screenshots inside.

Sweet ! Seems like i'll buy me this one a second time. Still do remember the special analog controller they sold with it, the Dreamcast controller prototype sort of...

Hmm. Those screenshots look as if they've simply been upscaled rather than remastered.

Disappointing.

Yep it is. Would be ok for $10 - anything more than that is too much for these ports.

Honestly, i tried Nights a while back and i really don't see what teh fuss is. Maybe it was sweet back in 96 when 3d graphics were brand-spanking new and everything but i can't say it's aged very well. At least in my opinon.

Looks pretty fucking hideous; the textures don't stand up well at all when stretched. Image 2 really hurts my eyes...

Glad I've got this on my Saturn, kinda makes it feel more worthwhile.

Yeah this is more like it. A one off gorgeous game even now. I'll likely stick with Saturn mode but the new visuals are a bonus. Took it's bloody time getting here though didn't it

A casual glance or brief time playing this doesn't reveal a whole lot as is the case with lots of games in fact. Certainly it's gained a lot of respect from fans that adore the gameplay and was until now a very valid reason to get a Saturn

Indeed... the same PS2 version that was NEVER released outside Japan... makes sense in a way that they would try to remake it... too bad it was not an HD remake... still hope people buy and play this game.
