NiGHTS was generally well reviewed across the boards with most magazines. But the problem is that it just didn't appeal to the mass market. Advertising was basically: whatever. Mario 64 was nearly bullet proof with to scores across all magazines. There were a few holdouts. Crash Bandicoot was seen as a surprise hit, had those effective advertisements with the 'guy in the Crash suit' going to NOA to brag about how good Crash is up against Mario 64.
