I look forward to breaking out the 3D controller!

i'm a digital control junkie, and the saturn seems to handle that much more smoothly than the PS2 version. also, it seems a LOT harder to get larger sized loops on the PS2. Time to fire up the saturn!

(off topic; it is unbelievably hard for me to fire up my saturn and not put in Radiant Silvergun)

I didnt say it was NTSC, I said I thought it was PAL. So that's why I was asking.

Now I see why you were confused. Like I said, Japanese games are NTSC/J, PAL is Europe and Australia. Anyway, it's answered, as long as you have a way to boot imports you shouldn't have any problem.

okay, well that at least clears up the import deal for me. So even if I can't find a cheap copy of Nights in time for TR, at least I'll know for the future.

I will say that I really enjoy NiGHTs even though I am terrible at it. It is just a good way to clear my mind. It flows so smoothly and is beautiful. I just wish there was a way to play it portably, be it by emulation on a netbook or a port. Granted you do need to concentrate on it. Christmas NiGHTS here I come.

Popped in the import version today on PS2. So far, so good.

This will be my first participation in together retro. I will be playing the PS2 verion which I've already completed will all A ranks. I'm by no means a scoring wizard but instead my play through will focus on the gameplay improvements made possible through the technology update.

During my first play through I learned that the 3D play as the kids is far better on PS2. This is due to the extended draw distance. Exploring levels, collecting, and comboing a high score before "dualizing" becomes far more fun and interesting now that you can see! Stick Canyon is a fun level to start on so in a day or two I'll report back.

Well.. I have been wanting to jump in to together retro for a bit and this one is going to line up. I have been sitting on a saturn modchip for a while... So I bought a Saturn and a NiGHTS/3D controller package. I modded the saturn and am using the mod for Christmas NiGHTS. I started a couple days early but have been enjoying this title quite a bit so far.

I really only have the attention span for Christmas Nights. I've always wanted to open all the presents so I'll work on it.

On a side note, I've always read that you couldn't rip the music off Nights, I've always assumed the same was true with Christmast Nights. Well, tonight I ripped a fair amount of music off my Christmas Nights disc. I also ripped a lot of music off Mr. Bones discs and I'd swear I had tried that before and couldn't find ripable files there. Anyway, it looks like I'll have a lot more music to add to my PSP.
