Is an action video game developed by Sonic Team and published by Sega for the Wii. The sequel to the 1996 Sega Saturn title Nights into Dreams, it was released in Japan and North America in December 2007, and in Australia and Europe the following month. The story follows two childr, William Taylor and Hel Cartwright, who ter a dream world called Nightopia. Wh their nightmares come to life, they list the help of Nights, an exiled "Nightmar", as they journey through Nightopia to stop the evil ruler Wizeman from escaping into the real world.
As with its predecessor, gameplay is ctred around Nights flying through the dreams of the two childr. The main objective of the game is to fly through rings while gathering ough keys to proceed to the next level. Developmt of Journey of Dreams began shortly after the release of Shadow the Hedgehog in 2005, and was headed by Sonic Team veteran Takashi Iizuka. The team took steps to sure that the game stayed faithful to the original, while incorporating a variety of new mechanics and features. The game's setting was designed to resemble gland, especially parts of London.
Journey of Dreams received mixed reviews; critics praised the game's colourful visuals, boss battles, soundtrack, and special effects, but criticised its controls, camera, aesthetics, and aspects of its gameplay. Despite the mixed reception, Iizuka said that he would be interested in making a third Nights game, should Sega commission one.
City Of Heroes
Every night, all human dreams are played out in Nightopia and Nightmare, the two parts of the dream world. In Nightopia, distinct aspects of dreamers' personalities are represted by luminous coloured spheres known as "Ideya". The evil ruler of Nightmare, Wizeman the Wicked, is stealing this dream ergy from sleeping visitors to gather power and take control of Nightopia and evtually the real world. To achieve this, he creates "Nightmar"—jester-like beings who can fly—including Jackle, Clawz, Gulpo, Gillwing and Puffy, and many minor mar. He also creates two "Level One" Nightmar: Nights and Reala. Nights rebels against Wizeman's plans, and is imprisoned inside an Ideya palace, a gazebo-like container for dreamers' Ideya.
Over the years, both have grown apart from their respective parts; Hel has chos to spd more time with her frids rather than practising the violin with her mother, a choice which has begun to fill her with guilt, while Will's father is transferred to another city for work and leaves his son by himself. Both childr suffer nightmares and come under attack by the Nightmar, who chase them into the world of Nightopia. There, the two childr meet and free Nights, who has the ability to merge with the childr, allowing them to share Nights' body and fly through the skies. Learning that Wizeman is plotting to take over the dream world and consequtly ter the real world, the childr and Nights resolve to stop Wizeman, but face resistance from the Nightmar he commands, particularly Nights' sibling, Reala.
Though differt, the childr's stories share similar structures. The story reaches its climax as a stairway appears at the Dream Gate and Hel and Nights ascd, only to be trapped by Wizeman and pulled into darkness. Will arrives too late and dives in after them, arriving in the night skies above Bellbridge, where he finds that he has the ability to fly without Nights or their Ideya. He rescues Hel, and the two attempt to save Nights, who has be imprisoned at the top of Bellbridge's clock tower. Reala arrives to stop their efforts and accepts Nights' challge to battle. After defeating Reala, the trio prepare to face Wizeman. Both Will and Hel defeat Wizeman, who is subsequtly destroyed. Since Wizeman kept all of his creations alive, Nights vanishes in a white light, bowing as if it were the d of a performance, and the childr wake up and cry. That eving, Hel plays her violin for her mother in a crowded hall, while Will celebrates with his father after winning a football game. He th loses the ball and goes after it, only to come upon Hel playing her violin for her mother. The lights suffer a temporary blackout, and wh they turn back on, Hel sees Will extding a fridly hand to her. Recognising each other from their advtures in Nightopia, the two reach for each other as it begins to snow. The final sce is of either child sleeping in their rooms at home as the camera pulls back towards Bellbridge's clock tower, atop which Nights is se to be alive and peacefully watching over the city.
The Garden Of Earthly Delights
Nights flying through one of the childr's dreams. The main gameplay objective is to fly through rings and free bird-like Nightmar, which will provide the keys required to unlock the next level.
Nights: Journey of Dreams is split into sev levels. The levels are distributed equally betwe the two childr characters: three are unique to Will, three to Hel, and both share a final boss stage.
Gameplay is ctred around controlling Nights' flight along a predetermined route through each level, resembling that of a 2D platformer or a racing game.
Destiny (video Game)
But will be pursued by "Awakers" which will awak the player-character and d the game, should three of them come into contact at once.
The main objective of the game is to fly through rings and capture bird-like Nightmar, who possess keys that unlock a series of cages. There are three cages in each level, and all must be unlocked within a set time before the player can proceed.
Each collision with an emy subtracts five seconds from the time remaining, and if the time runs out, the game will d prematurely.
Mario Super Sluggers
While flying, Nights can use a boost to travel faster, but the boost meter is slowly depleted while doing this. If it is fully depleted, the player will no longer be able to use boosts.
The game features items and traps which will either help or impede the player's progress. Collecting blue chips scattered around the levels will increase the player's score; time chips will extd the player's time and slow "Awakers" (if collected on foot).
Flying through gold rings will replish the player's boost meter, spiked rings will harm the player if flown through, and gre rings will never disappear (unlike ordinary gold rings).
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The gameplay also involves the use of "persona masks", which will transform Nights into a differt tity, thus granting new abilities to the player. There are three personas: transforming into a dolphin allows the player to swim underwater, a rocket speeds up Nights' flight, and a dragon will increase resistance to wind.
"My Dreams" connects with the Wii's Forecast Channel, which will change the weather conditions in the player's "My Dream" world according to real-world forecasts.
Cosmetic changes are visible every month, for example in February Nightopians hold a giant dragon for the Chinese New Year, whereas in December they are dressed as Father Christmas.
Final Fantasy Tactics
Players may visit other players' "My Dreams" through the Nintdo Wi-Fi Connection. In order to increase the population in a "My Dream", Nightopians must be captured in the game's story mode.
If there are more Nightopians than Nightmars in the player's "My Dream", th the vironmt will look more like Nightopia and if there are more Nightmars the landscape will change accordingly.
Journey of Dreams features four differt control options: the Wii remote as a standalone controller, the Wii remote in combination with the Nunchuk, the Classic Controller, and the GameCube controller.

Additionally, the game offers two multiplayer modes: "Battle Mode" and "Speed Mode", the latter of which is playable only online via Nintdo Wi-Fi Connection.
A sequel to Nights into Dreams with the working title Air Nights was originally outlined for the Sega Saturn and subsequtly developed for the Dreamcast with motion control being a ctral elemt of gameplay.
But later noted in 2003 that he would be interested in using the licce of Nights into Dreams to reinforce Sega's idtity as a video game developer.

Before the developmt of Journey of Dreams, Naka confirmed in retrospective interviews that he had intded to base the next Nights game around a unique motion controller.

Iizuka wanted to sure that the next Nights game would stay faithful to the original, and felt the need to keep the game's concept fundamtally the same while incorporating a variety of new mechanics.
