'''''NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams''''' is a platform game for the [[Wii]] console developed by Sonic Team and Sega. It is the sequel to the 1996 Sega Saturn title [[wikipedia:Nights into Dreams....|Nights into Dreams....]] and is the fourth and last game developed by Sega Studio USA. Like the original, the game is set in the dream world of Nightopia, which is under threat from nightmare beings called Nightmaren, and the gameplay is based around the flight of a jester-like rebel Nightmaren named Nights.

Much like in the first game, the primary gameplay mechanic is to glide, spiral and loop through a variety of worlds, blasting through rings and gathering orbs. Special power ups can transform Nights' form into a dolphin, a dragon, or a rocket, to reach areas not accessible otherwise. There are also 3D platform stages where the player controls one of the children. There is a variety of gameplay styles, and Nights is not playable in every level.

== Emulation Information ==
=== ''My Dream'' Weather Link ([[Forecast Channel]]) functionality===
Merely having WiiLink or RiiConnect24 enabled and working, or having Forecast Channel run successfully from the Dolphin game list, won't be sufficient to change the weather in that game mode, even if the game claims "Forecast Channel data received".
 
Instead, in Dolphin, go to "Options" → "Load Wii System Menu (…)" (If the latter is greyed out, run "Perform Online System Update…" first) → run Forecast Channel once from the [[Wii Menu]] and check that the forecast for your city is correctly loaded. Then, within Forecast Channel, return to the Wii Menu, and load ''Nights: Journey of Dreams'' from the Wii Menu while still in the same emulation session. This time around the received data will be correct (for example, cloudy).

===Restore Weather Link ([[Forecast Channel]]) functionality in ''My Dream''===
As of {{revision|5.0-21088}}, merely having WiiLink or RiiConnect24 enabled and working, or having Forecast Channel run successfully from the Dolphin game list, won't be sufficient to change the weather in that game mode, even if the game claims "Forecast Channel data received".
