Sonic Team Games NiGHTS and Puyo Puyo Minigames Unlockable on PSO Gamecube

[Dreadknux]

Missing Sonic Team's Saturn classic, NiGHTS into Dreams? Yeah, we are too. Puyo Puyo too. Well, if you're planning to pick up the Gamecube version of Phantasy Star Online Episode I & II, you will be able to play micro-sized versions of both games on your Game Boy Advance!

IGN, reporting from the E3 2002 show floor, reveals the Nintendo-specific mode in the latest version of PSO, where minigames can be downloaded to a GBA after connecting it to a Gamecube via link cable. The two games are Puyo Pop and NiGHTS: Score Attack.

"[NiGHTS Score Attack] is, essentially, a 2D conversion of the 3D game released on the Saturn system several years ago," IGN writes. "The GBA version features scrolling bitmap backgrounds instead of a full polygonal world, but the flying action was pretty faithfully converted on the digital GBA pad."

Exciting, huh? Below you can find screens and footage of NiGHTS in action.
