NiGHTS into Dreams...

Nights into Dreams ... (ナ イ ツ Naitsu?) (Graphically rendered as NiGHTS into DREAMS ...) is a video game released by SEGA in 1996 for Sega Saturn console. The story of the game follows two little boys entering a dream world, where they are led by the main game protagonist, called Nights.

"Nights into Dreams ..." was developed by Sonic Team, produced by Yuji Naka (also as a programmer) and Naoto Ōshima, who has worked as a character designer and director. The developer's intentions were to make the sensation of flying as the central element of gameplay, through a combination of 2D and 3D graphics.

Nights also launched with a round analog stick controller. This controller would eventually become standard towards the end of the Saturn's lifespan and it's design would eventually evolve into the Dreamcast controller.

The video game was republished for PlayStation 2 on February 21, 2008 exclusively in Japan. An HD version was released in October 2012 for Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.
