16 years ago on July 5, 1996, NiGHTS into dreams… made its mark in SEGA history and became a cult classic among gamers. Now, the restoration of Nightopia can be relived with the HD version slated to be released this fall for Windows PC Digital Download, Playstation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade.

The HD remake of NiGHTS will bring improved graphics, a 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as leaderboard support, trophies and achievements. An additional feature called “Saturn Mode” will give players the option to experience the game with its original graphics for a  nostalgic feel.

For more information and pictures of gameplay, take a look at the announcement on SEGA’s blog. Below is a trailer that accompanied the Thursday’s news.
