Oh Christmas NiGHTS, Oh Christmas NiGHTS

A week or so ago I lamented the complete lack of good Christmas-based games. Well, I just thought of one: Sega's Christmas NiGHTS.

Sure, the title wasn't available in stores--it was included as part of a Christmas Saturn bundle in Japan, while it was given away with copies of Game Players, Next Generation and Sega Saturn magazines in the U.S. and in Europe--and it contained just two stages, but it's still a Christmas-themed game (and a mighty fun one, at that).



Sadly, I no longer own a copy of the game. I obtained one a long time ago--after buying an issue of Next Generation magazine, in fact--but I (regrettably) sold it a few years ago when I (also regrettably) got rid of my gray Saturn system.

Oh, well, at least I can relive the festive experience while watching YouTube videos like the one above.

My friend Jeff has this, I think. He loves this game. It's a pretty sweet Christmas game, for sure.

Oh, yeah, it's a sweet game in many regards. I really should try out the Wii version at some point...

I've got it, and I didn't love it. The boss fights are lame and way hard to figure out how to beat...there's VERY little direction.

Oh, that's too bad. I had heard bad things about it, but I didn't know if they were true or not. Guess I'll use that money for something else.
