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!
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

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. :)

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.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was initially developed with the Nintendo GameCube in mind, but ended up receiving a Wii port when it was released to promote the new console. This version has motion control compatibility for the sword and pointer controls for the menus, the bow and the boomerang. This version of the game has a completely inverted map and locations when comparing with the GameCube release. The change in layout was meant to adapt Link's usually left-handed design to right-handed people, given the motion controls.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight PrincessThe Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is the last Zelda game for GameCube, it was highly anticipated by many members of the gaming community and was regarded as finally fulfilling the dreams of those who wanted a much more realistic and mature game than the ones before. The art is similar to the naturalistic style of Ocarina of Time, rather than the cel-shaded look of The Wind Waker. The main adventure takes place in several provinces with dungeons and temples. New to this game is the ability for Link to transform into a Wolf when entering the Twilight. As a wolf, Link can use his senses to solve puzzles and get past obstacles, he can also dig holes to find hearts and rupees. Twilight Princess has received universal acclaim from reviewers and journalists, who cited it as the greatest Zelda game of all time.

Fatal Frame
Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera. Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are. The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling. The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.
