Thinking of picking this up is it really good as people say or all hype?

[Anonymous No.6142053]

>>6142043
It's made by sonic team so it automatically gets hyped by a bunch of furry autists.

It's pretty average otherwise and the graphics are only okay for a Saturn game. It's "colourful" but only because the Saturn can't do more than 256 colour polygons without serious restrictions.

Why did Sega though this was a better idea than making a new Sonic game?

[Anonymous No.6142063]

There is already a Nights thread zoomer.

[Anonymous No.6142086]

It's good but why don't you just get a pseudo saturn cart and burn a copy?

[Anonymous No.6142103]

It needed to be smooth 60fps to even be playable.

[Anonymous No.6142113]

Try it on PC first. It’s a weird game and not for everyone

[Anonymous No.6142117]

>>6142086
Its not like this is an expensive gane

[Anonymous No.6142130]

>>6142117
It can be if you want the Nights 3D pad which you would.

[Anonymous No.6142204]

>>6142130
Will pseudo saturn give you the 3D pad as well or whats your point?

[Anonymous No.6142212]

It's my (second) favorite game of all time but then I'm a segafag as it is.

If nothing else there's absolutely no good reason not to pick it up. Either you've got a Saturn and it's frankly impressive you didn't already own it, or you're getting the HD port and it costs a song anyway.

[Dillweed No.6142220]

Hype.

I found this in the "removal" bin in my game store, fixed and bought it for half the price.

It's not even fun.

Literally picked up a boxed copy with controller and game for a tenner from Yahoo Japan. It's all in English anyway.

[Anonymous No.6142694]

>>6142642
This is the cheapest on ebay. I bought mine new back in the day for $20 boxed and new, white version as well.

Sorry guess it was $21, still cheaper than ebay. Especially since I grouped a whole bunch of stuff into one package as I was buying Naomi stuff.

[Anonymous No.6142719]

You don't need the 3D pad to play it, good luck finding one in good condition anyway, the analog stick breaks easily.

[Anonymous No.6142725]

>>6142719
Sticks are easy to replace. The actual mechanism behind it uses hall effect sensors which last forever.

[Anonymous No.6142732]

>>6142725
Where can you buy this replacement stick?

[Anonymous No.6142734]

I've never seen a broke 3d controller

[Anonymous No.6142736]

and what exactly is the part worn down in yours? the spring? replace the spring with new spring.

>I've never seen it, but do what I'm saying
Get a load of this guy. I told you it was the stick. You seem to think there's some Sega Saturn 3D stick Depot I can go to.

>You seem to think there's some Sega Saturn 3D stick Depot I can go to.
You're on the internet, anon. You absolutely can find replacement parts for damn near anything if you care enough to look.

And like those other guys said I've never seen one break either so I doubt it's this widespread issue like you're suggesting.

[Anonymous No.6142753]

>>6142741
"WORN OUT STICK" doesnt explain how its worn out. If its no longer springy enough, replace the spring inside the damn stick.

I wanna know what kind of ham fisted retard you have to be to break a Saturn controller. 3d or not.

[Anonymous No.6142762]

>>6142760
It was bought used at a pawn shop for a few bucks

[Anonymous No.6142767]

>>6142757
Enjoy your broken 3D controller then anon.

[Anonymous No.6142828]

Never seen a broken one either, it's a great pad, quality is very high and ultra comfortable and luxurious.

[Anonymous No.6142878]

>>6142698
I love that controller. Many happy hours.

Nights is a neat score attack game, OP, you should try it.

[Anonymous No.6143297]

Like other anons have said, NiGHTS is a pretty fun score attack. If you go into it looking for something more you’ll be disappointed, but if you like arcade gameplay and decent replayability you’ll have a good time.

[Anonymous No.6143329]

>>6142043
You fly in circles trying to get a big score. What do you think?

[Anonymous No.6143724]

>>6142212
I heard the hd port is shit through

[Anonymous No.6143747]

>>6143724
It is. Analog controls are fucked. You need a Saturn and 3D Controller to properly experience NiGHTS.

[Anonymous No.6143970]

>>6142043
>Thinking
liar

[Anonymous No.6144080]

NiGHTS is definitely one of the best games I've ever played. It's very bad at explaining what you're supposed to do, so I think a lot of people drop it before figuring out what they're really supposed to be doing (i.e. clearing the stage as quickly as possible and then spending the rest of the timer racking up points).

It's a unique enough game that it's worth giving it a shot to find out yourself if you're going to like it because there's not really anything else like it (including its own sequel).

[Anonymous No.6144170]

What does this comment mean? If you play NiGHTs like Sonic (or the other way around, really) you're going to have a bad time.

[Anonymous No.6144201]

>>6142043
Gameplaywise it's nothing special now, but back in the late 90s it was something special. What really makes this game is the overall aesthetic; it screams Saturn era Sega, and has an incredibly catchy OST like many Sega games from that time. It also has this very dream like quality which makes it an almost surreal game to play. It'll make you feel like you're 10 again, at least that's how it makes me feel.

[Anonymous No.6144498]

Saturns are bumfuck expensive, are jap models cheaper and just as easy to mod?

[Anonymous No.6144518]

>>6144498
Cursory search tells me they're half as expensive and even with shipping they're still cheaper. Sold.

[Anonymous No.6145143]

>>6144518
Enjoy it, friend

[Anonymous No.6145224]

>>6144518
Import games are often cheaper than their western counterparts too. You'll have a good time with the Saturn especially if you enjoy arcade-like games.

It's so they can avoid complaints and returns. They just sell everything as junk status.

I got fucking sniped. I saw one that has the saturn fightstick included, maybe I'll do better with that one. Looks pretty rad.

[Anonymous No.6145878]

>>6145860
I had the Saturn Fightstick and the Hori Fighting Stick SS, you're better just playing with the pads. The Hori one is better if you're stuck on that idea.

[Anonymous No.6145914]

I've modded my fair share of fightsticks, it's just for the case.

[Anonymous No.6146010]

Yeah it's pretty shit. Needs more menu combat, cutscenes, story and lootboxes

[Anonymous No.6148129]

>>6145860
How do you get sniped on Yahoo Japan? They have soft ending auctions. If someone bids in the last 5 it extends the time.

[Anonymous No.6148592]

>>6148129
I went to sleep and apparently there's a site called buyee that has a "snipe it" button.

[Anonymous No.6148620]

>>6148592
snipe it just does an auto bid in the last 5 minutes. The auction will still autoextend another 5 minutes when someone does that. It also doesn't allow them to bid on the auction after that.

>If someone bids in the last 5 it extends the time.
wtf

[Anonymous No.6150443]

>>6149836
Pretty standard on any auction site that isn't ebay. It more follows the format of real life auctions where they don't stop till people stop bidding. Gets rid of snipers.

[Anonymous No.6150468]

I got a super nice set of shit for a quarter of what it would cost from anyone on eBay. I’m a believer of buying straight from the japs when it comes to Saturn.

[Anonymous No.6152063]

aren't most refusing to sell to gaijins?

[Anonymous No.6154048]

>>6142043
It was in the clearance bin at Best Buy for $20USD, developed by Sonic Team, and I already had the 3D pad, so it was worth giving a try. I found a delightful and charming game which also serves as a tech demo for the system. The music is relaxing and stages colorful and interesting. I like big chunky scaled pixels and the smooth movement. The series seems to get a lot of hate, probably because it is from Sega, but for at least 30 minutes the game is still great to me.

[Anonymous No.6154050]

I seriously don't understand people asking for advice about pick up and play arcade score attack games. You can download the ROM and decide if you like it in 15 minutes.

I never liked this one myself, it was just another of those Saturn games that made the system really unappealing. But you can make your own call pretty easily.

[Anonymous No.6154054]

It's basically a score attack game. Get as many points as you can before actually clearing the course to get as higher rank as possible then fighting a boss then going to the next stage etc. etc. The game has pretty good aesthetics and music, worth a play at least once.
