I’ve been playing NiGHTS for years and I forgot who or what the character is in the game.

Does anybody know about this character?

Ah, yes. The tech demo for how analog controls work…

Yeah, they’re the character from that pinball mini game in Sonic Adventure.

The game you bought to get the 3D pad for the Saturn.

All I remember is that I was super excited for this game because of the hype and then when I finally got to play it, it was kinda shit.

I hated the original Saturn controllers.

I only ever played the demo, and I really dug it.

Would love to try out the whole game.

Did not hear any hype though

It’s in Steam now for like $7.

It played fine on SteamDeck after I searched up which version of Proton to force it to run under, and did some controls mapping.

That said…It’s… Just the demo.

Unintuitive boss fight mechanics, a one hit kill and a three life maximum (before the game resets itself!) means: I just kept repeating the demo for the vast majority of my play time.

I could watch a tutorial on the rest of the bosses, but honestly the later levels (that I have reached) are just different paint added to first level.

6/10 - It’s surprisingly good for being one of the earliest attempts at a making a 3d game.

If I was going to replay it, I would seach up a boss fight tutorial first, to save myself time. It’s just not worth playing through the whole game each time I want 3 more chances to guess each under-communicated boss mechanic.
