| Vinther1991 said: Super Mario 64 is a phenomenal game that means a lot to me, it really perfected platforming in 3D space. It was the first home console game and first 3D game I ever played. However, no game captures the magic of video games the way the gameplay of NiGHTS into Dreams does. The level design and music was amazing, the sense of speed and fluid controls was unmatched. Even the boss fights were unique and incredible. It gets my vote.
Another masterful Saturn release was of course Panzer Dragoon Zwei, which was a massive step over the original, and along with NiGHTS, perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing 3D games of the era, and it really expanded on the lore of the universe. |
NiGHTS!! Another fantastic option! NiGHTS was one of my very, very favorite Saturn games, alongside the Panzer Dragoon titles. 
It wound up with the impossible task of, as a new IP, making up the Saturn sales that would've happened that fall if Sonic X-Treme had actually come out and could not rise to that challenge, but nonetheless I think it epitomized what that system came to represent. NiGHTS is literally the first game that comes to my mind when I hear the term "Sega Saturn". Nights is sort of the de facto Saturn mascot, I think.
