I am a big fan of classic games, so it’s pretty exciting seeing NiGHTS coming to GameTap. I remember playing Christmas NiGHTS, a Christmas-themed demo version of NiGHTS, and getting all the “presents”, unlockables that were accessible after accomplishing a certain task, except one. I did manage to get “Sonic into Dreams” though…
MORE UPDATE: Sega’s Japanese Sonic Team web site has announced the original NiGHTS to be released for the PS2 on February 21, 2008 (it’s a small announcement — you’ll see it on the right). Just thought I’d bring that up. Not sure if this is Japan only or not though…
UPDATE: Sega’s taken down the “Behind the Story” section… Interesting…
