So playing Nights now doesnвЂ™t feel like the first iteration of something that has been refined for 25 years it feels like the best version of something we havenвЂ™t seen since (apart from a disappointing 2007 Wii sequel).ДЄs a follow-up bonus disc designed to help sell SegaвЂ™s Saturn hardware in Japan, Christmas Nights offered Sonic Team the chance to drench its game in decorations and holiday-themed music, and to overload it with вЂњpresents,вЂќ like a karaoke mode, a time attack mode, and a music player. Nights earned extensive critical acclaim, but didnвЂ™t reach anywhere near the sales of Mario and Crash, and never became big enough that competitors started copying it. And Sonic Team got rid of jumping, in part, in favor of a character-based racing game where you floated along a 2D plane with a 3D world behind you.

Naughty Dog funneled players through narrow paths and side-scrolling levels in Crash Bandicoot. Nintendo went for open 3D stages in Super Mario 64.

Sonic TeamвЂ™s game came about when studios were experimenting with how to make 3D platformers. In some ways, playing Christmas Nights now is just an excuse to play more Nights, since thereвЂ™s still little else like it.

I will play this game every Christmas until I die (apparently IвЂ™ve been doing it for 25 already, might as well keep going) /pZmZTHlN6S- Tom Waterhouse December 16, 2021
