I own Nights into Dreams and Christmas Nights and, frankly, I never understood the point of either of them.
I was a Sega kid in the Genesis generation. A friend of mine got a Saturn and I so desperately wanted to like Nights because it was the thing for Saturn. I didn't like it at all. It felt hard to control, hard to understand, and was just not pleasant for me.
Meanwhile, a different friend and I had a blast trading off playing Mario 64. Hands down, way better for a 9 year old me.
At the time I was like "Sooo... you fly around in circles so you can fly around in circles and then fly around in circles? Not much of a 'game' there."
So when Balan Wonderworld came out a few years ago "from the maker of Nights!" I was like "Yeah, hard pass."
