“Let’s make a game where we can fly!” Thus was the seed planted for NiGHTS Into Dreams—the first non-Sonic game developed by Sonic Team. Along the way, the team had to research dreaming and psychology (including Jung and Freud), learn how to optimize the Sega Saturn’s architecture, and even design a new controller (the 3D Pad, with an analog stick to facilitate the flight controls).
The result was a game that captured the joy and sensation of flying perhaps better than anything the world had ever seen, becoming a perennial resident on lists of “greatest video games of all time.” Even Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto asked Yuji Naka when he was going to make a sequel!
This arrangement of the main title theme evokes visions of both Nightopia and Nightmare, with the bombast of the brasses and saxophones in exotic meters contrasting with the lighter, flightier woodwinds and strings feature, before the dream world is saved in a triumphant climax.
