Obligatory Christmas NiGHTS thread

[Teddman]

It just doesn't feel like Xmas without Christmas NiGHTS on Sega Saturn!

The best game demo giveaway ever, and one of the only games to truly capture the holiday spirit. Hell, I can't even think of another decent Christmas-themed game. I wish I remembered to pop in Xmas NiGHTS throughout the year on the calendar dates that offer special "easter egg" surprises (New Year's day, Halloween, April's Fool's, etc.) but I never forget during December.

Why hasn't there been another game demo of this sort? Well, I guess "Christmas Metroid Prime" wouldn't be quite the same thing...

Go ahead, share your memories of the game, your favorite aspects of it, personal bests in the links minigame, etc.

Less than two weeks to Xmas--pour out a little eggnogg!

Christmas NiGHTS is one of greatest demos ever. Getting it with Next Gen magazine was awesome.

There was a Toy Commander Christmas demo released in ODCM.

Someone post up some cheery Xmas NiGHTS screens.

(I love the word "cheery.")

I have that, but never played it. Any good?

I think Animal Crossing makes a nice x-mas type game also.

I think Santa Slayer makes a good Christmas game.

Actually, the game sucks but the theme of Santa going on a killing spree gets it some points.

Dude, you play as Santa wearing a Jet Pack, flying down a toilet to kill some bugs, what do you think?

Plus, when you finish it, you see what little Andy gets for Christmas. Lucky bastard.

Here's a screen shot of the game once you've unlocked all of the presents.



Forgive me, I was too lazy to hook up the Saturn to my capture card.

OK guys, can't let this fall too far off the front page so close to Xmas... That's the "obligatory" part.

Can we get a list going of all the days of the year that Christmas NiGHTS has a special theme? So far I know:

New Years Day -- Bells in background?

April 1st -- Play as NiGHTS' nemesis Reala

Halloween -- Spooky decorations
