Description
Just a silly little comic I did featuring NiGHTS at the SEGA headquarters asking (more like begging) them to make a new video game for the "NiGHTS into Dreams" series. If they ever did make a new NiGHTS game, this is how I imagine it would go. I titled it "Irresistible" because NiGHTS used the puppy dog eyes (complete with small tears), and let's face it, no one can resist that look - it's just too cute and super effective, and in the end NiGHTS got exactly what we've all been wanting for so long. The background in the last panel is actually a photograph of the interior of the SEGA UK office, which I find fitting because the location of JoD takes place in a fictional version of London, England, and as such all the characters have British accents. But if a new game was made, I think either SEGA of Japan or America would probably handle it. With all that being said...
SEGA, if you somehow see this, PLEASE make a new NiGHTS game! Or at the very least another remake/remaster or port of both the original and Journey of Dreams games. And as much as I enjoy NiD, the sequel needs more love in my opinion! I personally would love to see the Wii exclusive game get re-released on modern consoles such as the Nintendo Switch -- and if this were to happen, you can bet I'd buy or download it in a heartbeat! I'd also like to see Christmas NiGHTS get a re-release of its own or be included in another remake/port of NiGHTS into Dreams, but this time with the missing bonus content from the original Saturn version that wasn't in the 2012 remake. Another idea would be to maybe expand upon it a little with brand new content, even if it's still not a full game. But if none of that is feasible, then please make NiGHTS playable in more crossover games like the racing and tennis ones, and not just a cameo in the background or an unlockable costume or something. Give NiGHTS another chance.
Whew, sorry for the rant above, but I just wanted to share some of my thoughts and ideas. Like many NiGHTS fans, I am passionate about this fun franchise and its characters, and I wish SEGA would give it the love and attention it deserves. It's been literal decades since the last entry in this series, and I think it's about time for a new one! I know Sonic is their mascot and all, and I love him too, but come on! If they can make a new Samba De Amigo game, then why can't they do the same for NiGHTS?! That being said, while you are not allowed to re-post this comic anywhere without my permission, I strongly urge you to reach out to SEGA and share my message/ideas with them if you can! Like contact them on their Twitter, or whatever other social media platforms they're on. Spread the word! #Rally4NiGHTS #SaveNiGHTS (And if you do share this, please credit me and link back here to the comic or my dA page.)
[Also, I recently read an article on The Sonic Stadium that they want to do do a number of reboots/remakes of "classic game IP," whatever that might mean. I'm not really sure if it applies specifically just for the Sonic franchise or if some of their other series are/would be included, but if so, I hope NiGHTS would be considered! As stated above, I'd absolutely love a remake/another remaster of one or both NiGHTS games, and now seems like a great opportunity for SEGA to do that! You can read the full article here. ]

I found the picture used in the comic on Google, but the image itself probably belongs to SEGA as well. I certainly do not own it in any way, shape or form. The background in the first two panels was also found on Google, but I don't remember where I got it from. If anyone knows, please notify me!
