NiGHTS into Dreams HD Remake Announced

SEGA have announced an HD remake of the Saturn classic (and fan-favorite) NiGHTS into Dreams. Developed by Sonic Team, NiGHTS was originally released for the SEGA Saturn sixteen years ago today, and is fondly remembered by many who played it.

"The SEGA Saturn offered many unique gaming experiences, and NiGHTS into dreams... stands out as one of the most recognizable titles that found a home on the system," said Chris Olson, Vice President of Digital Business at SEGA. "We've gotten a lot of requests about this game over the years, and are very happy to be able to give both former Saturn owners and new players a chance to play it in its most beautiful form to date this [spring]."

From the press release:

This new version will bring Nightopia to vivid life with improved HD graphics and a 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as added support for leaderboards, trophies, and achievements. It will also feature an optional Saturn Mode that will let players experience the game with the original graphics intact.

NiGHTS into Dreams is headed to PlayStation Network for PlayStation 3, Xbox Live for Xbox 360, and PC download by way of the Steam digital distribution service later this year.
