Nights into dreams controller

[kewlrabbit]

Ok so i just recently got a sega saturn on ebay and i wanted to get nights into dreams. Most of the auctions have a 3d controller with them and are up to around $50-$60, but the ones with just the game are under 10. I was wondering if its needed to play it, or if i can just use the ones that came with the system? Thanks!

Not needed.

I have to warn you, the game is a lot more comfortable using the normal pad as, if you know how the game works, you would know that the game is played on a 2D plane and you guide Nights by pressing in the right directions. Sometimes you need precise movements and the D pad won't cut it. For example, one of the main movements in the game is the paraloop, and that requires you to "Roll" the D pad/A pad in a full 180'.

In short, yes, you can play the game using the normal controllers. But you can't play it as smoothly and as effectivly without the analog stick. Like using a controller instead of a mat to play Dance Dance Revolution.

However, if you just don't have the money, don't let this keep you from getting the game, because even with the D pad it beats the pants off SM64. (Yes I'm a little biased...)

you should use the 3D controller, the game is designed to be used with anolouge movement.

look at it this way, nights isnt the only game that uses the 3D pad. you will be using it with other games as well.

i personally love the 3D controller especially with nights.
