It's a shame the Saturn was considererd a flop (EDIT: at least in the west) because Nights deserves to be remembered with the same reverance as Sonic and Mario imo. More people need to play Night's into Dreams. It's good shit.
Also Nights is canon non-binary :hexbear-non-binary:
Well, they did fuck up the American release pretty bad
I had the chance to play Nights Into Dreams at a friend's house, but my brother interjected that it was "gay" and we had to play Virtua Fighter instead
Everyone forgets that the 90s kind of sucked. There were a bunch of cool treats that people fondly look back on now, but were rejected at the time if they weren't gritty, edgy and dripping with toxic masculinity. Everyone was desperate to be cool to the point where Sega would do things like change art to be more scowly and 'badass' when bringing games to the west. Ristar, for example, had their sprite changed to frowning instead of smiling. Shit was stupid as fuck.
I loved Ristar even though my brother told me it was gay too
Kind of funny how despite his best efforts, I turned out exactly the sort of person he would have hated back then
Sounds like in the end, you were cooler then your bro lol
Yeah
Took a while, but he's pretty alright now, always apologizes about how he was a jerk to me growing up
That's pretty dang wholesome, I'm glad he became nicer :sicko-wholesome:
The Saturn might've had better chances if Sega execs weren't doing blow non-stop while trying to simultaneously push out the Sega CD and the Sega 32x. But yeah, Nights absolutely deserved better.
snorts a line of coke :porky-scared-flipped: :porky-scared: "WHAT THE FUCK IS A SONIC?!"
It will never not make me upset that jontron became/always has been a massive chud. So much of his early stuff was fantastic :powercry-2:
This coat's urrrgh Georgio Armani eeuuugh muh dad knows 'em- FUCK YOU
In a better world Nights and (a much better) Balaan Wonderland would be a recurring and frequently copied vibe, maybe to the point of annoying me, but where I barely even remember Call of Duty was a thing. :sicko-wistful:
The Saturn was the best selling Sega console in Japan. But yeah, the lack of sonic and those weird ads didn't help it against the N64 and PS1
I think a lot of good games didn't make it to English speaking countries either. Something to do with thinking the west didn't want 2D games?
