A few days ago, word slipped out revealing the bonus events in NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams‘ My Dream portion of the game. Today, Sega officially revealed that NiGHTS: JOD owners can expect special events each month that includes seasonal decorations and more.
The My Dream mode is an online virtual world that allows gamers “to create their own dream world using elements from the NiGHTS world,” according to Sega.
We here at Sega Nerds think this is an excellent way for Sega to extend the life of NiGHTS: JOD and will be sure to pop in each and every month to check out the events. Read on to see the full calender of events.
January: New Years fireworks are set off at 12 midnight on January 1st and the Nightopians will celebrate New Years. (Fireworks are set off once every hour?

It’s funny. because Iizuka-san himself said that this feature would not be included - and he said it in our interview.
“Sega Nerds: NiGHTS used the Saturn’s internal clock to add new game play/secrets to the game, depending on the date. Will the same feature be used in JoD?
Iizuka: No. For the Saturn, it was a new feature and a new challenge.
With the Wii, the Forecast Channel is the new challenge. However there will be seasonal events within the game, which will appear in the My Dreams section.”

Actually he did say it would be included, and you quoted it -
“…However there will be seasonal events within the game, which will appear in the My Dreams section.â€
These sound like seasonal events to me. Your question was about gameplay changes depending on the date.

I meant to add to my comment that I can see how you could have misunderstood what he was saying, so no biggie.
As a real comment I think this is pretty sweet. I ate up the cheesy download stuff for Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast (the halloween and christmas ones I remember, not sure if there were others), and I’ve always loved pointless extra stuff like this in games. It just shows a bit more effort on the part of SEGA I guess.
I wandered into “my dream” and noticed the Dragons and Firecrackers the other day and thought it was kinda cool.
