Nights: Journey of Dreams

Nights: Journey of Dreams (2007)

by Sega Studio USA, Sonic Team, Sega
Genres:Adventure, Platform
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer, Split screen
Story:This time around, however, Nights takes a bit of a different turn. Keeping in line with the "world of dreams" theme – it wouldn't be Nights without it – players will take control of Will and Helen, two young children each entering into Nightopia (the world of dreams) with their own back-story, emotional baggage, and inner demons that come to life though the forming of nightmares. It's a pretty simple concept overall, and with each child's five main levels you'll get a different piece of the story leading up to the same grand finale. Once they arrive in the land of dreams, each character meets up with a Nights almost instantaneously, and from there learns to meld with the mysterious creature and fly through the world of Nightopia. Along the way you'll learn of the quest to find the hidden Ideya (basically essences of the human spirit), and eventually attempt to defeat a powerful god-like creature named Wizeman and his right-hand man Reala.Show more

Fantastic game that deserves to not be stuck on the Wii! Fantastic soundtrack, a more accessible structure for newcomers and excellent vibes. Many NiGHTS fans missed this one, and that's a crime!

Everything I said about NiGHTS into dreams, but now its on the Wii. A 10/10 soundtrack, a simple yet captivating story, fantastic character design and addictive arcade gameplay. Now with Octopaw. Who doesn’t love Octopaw? Julissa Aguirre also provides a really charming performance as everyone's favourite gender fluid court jester. The game is also stuck on the Wii at the mo, so a new PC release would be grand. Plus, NiGHTS' 30th anniversary is coming up, so this would be nice. :)
I got it for Christmas a few years ago as I had fallen in love with NiGHTS into Dreams that year. The first time I heard When the Night Falls, I was enamored. I barely played the game that night, opting to instead wander around, serenaded by the music as if I had truly fallen asleep and was transported to the Dream Gate. The whole game was a joy to play, offering a pleasant adventure for whomever might play, and I wish it was available to more people. NiGHTS deserves her chance in the moonlight.

NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams is a game I’ve had in the back of my mind for almost a decade. I enjoyed the original through the HD port on PS3, and was always curious about this one. About a year ago I picked this up from a retro store and enjoyed it quite a bit. I love the music and most of the levels. I also really like the art direction and control feels good when not using motion controls. It’s a shame this one was left behind on Wii and didn’t get ported to PC or any systems. I’d really like to see this one be ported and preserved.
My first NiGHTS game and I really enjoyed to 100% it on my wii back then, and again on the last year, getting all A ranks, it deserves to be enjoyed by everybody

This game has helped me though some of the darkest times in my life, I always come back to it when I am feeling down. I truly believe this is once of the best games on the WII and should be experienced by as many people as possible.
NiGHTS was such a huge, formative game for me, Journey of Dreams was one of those games that I was bought as a gift and immediately fell in love with. That was as a 7 year old. Now at 24 this game and the entire NiGHTS franchise brings me so much nostalgia and joy.
I love this franchise so much and I want people to know more about this. The original NiD was playable before it got delisted so hopefully it will come back at a similar time to to this. I just want people to fall in love with NiGHTS like I did and just see the amazing world they built up. It'd be such a shame the original game being only playable and not it's sequel.

I played this game as a kid and loved it, it stuck with me through all the years and I made friends because I played it. Now with my Wii going I can't really play it anymore, so I'd love to get to play it again.
This is my childhood favorite game, it has inspired me and it's a crime that I have no way of recommending this game to people without them hunting down an old wii copy or pirating. Having it here would help inspire people in the same way it did for me. That and it'd be nice for the online functions to work again. I love Roger L Jackson as Wizeman so much.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Sonic the HedgehogThis is a completely different game than its 16-bit counterpart on the Genesis/Mega Drive, and was originally released on the Sega Game Gear and Master System. To stop the evil Dr. Robotnik, Sonic must traverse six zones consisting of three levels each. Most of the zones are based on those in the original game, but some are entirely new, including a jungle environment and a huge airship. Other unique differences are one level that scrolls automatically and one that is aligned vertically instead of horizontally. Most of the enemies (mechanized animals, defeated by Sonic's spikes when jumping or rolling) and power-ups (speed-ups, shields, extra lives) are the same as in the Genesis version as well. Sonic can pick up golden rings for protection (when hit, he simply loses all of his rings instead of a life) and bonuses: 100 rings gain Sonic an extra life, and 50 remaining rings at the end of a level allow access to pinball-themed special stages full of bumpers and springs. The final level of a zone is always a boss fight against Robotnik. Some of the boss fights differ in the Master System and Game Gear versions of the game, with special designs for the handheld version due to the smaller visible screen area. Sonic should also collect the six Chaos Emeralds to keep them from falling into Robotnik's hands. In a departure from the original game, these are not hidden in the special stages but somewhere in the regular levels.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Cowabunga
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: CowabungaTMNT Cowabunga is a free fan game created by me, i love ninja turtles since i was a 5yo kid and that's my way to celebrate that love. It's a good old platformer in gameboy style, just 4 colors on screen. Simple gameplay, you can switch the 4 turtles and use them during the stage, you can collect ninja stars and perform ground attack and aerial attack. (each turtle a different one). Each turtle's got a lifebar, but be careful, if you loose one of the four it's game over! So you are forced to use all of them as a good team. (obviously ;)
