I recently got my first shot at playing NiGHTS into Dreams on a Saturn borrowed from a friend, and there are several things I love about the analog controller. One of them is the fully circular control offered by the analog stick. Obviously, none of the Wii’s control options provide the same control for NiGHTS: Journey of Dreams, so NeoGAF user MobiusPigeon took matters into his own hands.

“With the release of NiGHTS 2 and with me absolutely hating wii’s 8 way analog stick as many do, I finally decided to do something about it and the results are fantastic. I can now control NiGHTS just like on the Saturn analog pad and i’m sure this cheap mod will work wonders on other games that require more liberal stick movement.

All this mod took was a flathead screwdriver small enough to fit into nintendos tri head screws and a grinding stone set purchased from harbor freight and tools for $4. Once the screws are off the nunchuck opens rather easily and drilling/grinding took all of 2-3 minutes. Maybe 5-10 total trialing/sanding the new hole to make sure it moved fluidly.”

You’d think the game was made for it. You can check out more photos after the break, including one that shows off how much easier it was to get a good score in the game.
