''[[NiGHTS into Dreams]]'' represents both the end of an era at Sonic Team and the start of a new one, being the last Sega project to feature [[Yuji Naka]] as the lead programmer and the first to feature [[Takashi Iizuka]] as lead designer (replacing [[Hirokazu Yasuhara]], now stationed in North America). The absense of Yasuhara means that the three original founding members of Sonic Team were reduced to two, and with both Naka and [[Naoto Ohshima]] rising up the ranks in the years which followed, ''NiGHTS'' marks the start of a new generation of Sonic Team developers.

NiGHTS into Dreams represents both the end of an era at Sonic Team and the start of a new one, being the last Sega project to feature Yuji Naka as the lead programmer and the first to feature Takashi Iizuka as lead designer (replacing Hirokazu Yasuhara, now stationed in North America). The absense of Yasuhara means that the three original founding members of Sonic Team were reduced to two, and with both Naka and Naoto Ohshima rising up the ranks in the years which followed, NiGHTS marks the start of a new generation of Sonic Team developers.

Following the release of Sonic & Knuckles, the key players of Sonic Team spent six months brainstorming on new ideas, with work on NiGHTS beginning around April 1995

[2]. NiGHTS is a radically different project to the Sonic the Hedgehog games which preceeded it, and was inspired by the works of Carl Jung, and primarily his anima and animus concepts[3]. It is said that Takashi Iizuka invested a significant amount of time researching dreams and the theories that surround them, observing the works of Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Holtz

[4], meaning NiGHTS' themes offer a much deeper meaning than at first glance. Naka and his team chose against developing a Sonic sequel, wishing to take a long break to come up with a more "advanced" game as opposed to falling into the trap of continuous sequels

[5].

The visual style NiGHTS into Dreams borrowed from Cirque du Soleil, witnessed by Yuji Naka and others while playing at the Treasure Island Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas[3]. It's oddly typed name was originally put in place to differentiate the NiGHTS character from the word "nights", with the lower-case "i" coming from the gem on the character's chest[3].

NiGHTS was originally set to be a much slower game, but the speed gradually increased over time to make the game more interesting

Voice samples were recorded in-house by various developers, usually in the middle of the night as Sonic Team's studios were not sound-proofed[3].

[12]. The trailer from this event is available as an unlockable in Christmas NiGHTS.

As one of the top Sega employees in his field, Yuji Naka's engine for NiGHTS is often considered to be one of the most ambitious programming projects on the Saturn, at one point being recycled for Sonic X-treme (much to his distaste). Much of the game was built with unique input methods in mind (such as odd flight sticks), inevitably evolving into Saturn's the 3D Control Pad. At one point in development, the team was visited by Steven Spielberg, who played the game on an experimental controller, later dubbed internally as the "Spielberg Controller". Unique controllers would be explored again in the development of Air NiGHTS, a cancelled Sega Dreamcast sequel.

Sonic Team were for a long time interested in a PC version

[9], and Naka has stated that he created a conversion of NiGHTS shortly after the Saturn game's release. In an interview he assumed it had been released[3], however PC users did not receive a port of the game until 2012, when a version was released for Steam. Yuji Naka has stated that he does not believe in making sequels to NiGHTS, comparing it to Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial[3]

[13]. After NiGHTS, Naka would assume management roles as producer and head of Sonic Team, before leaving to found Prope in 2006, only for NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams to be released one year later.

In recent years, data mining has uncovered unused Nightmaren, one resembling a giant eel, and one named "Selph".
