It took me a while to understand what you meant - it's not "knights", the title is Nights Into Dreams.
But yeah, having that as a launch title was a big mistake. The gameplay is a weird and unapproachable genre, and the characters flopped as mascots. It was actually made to show off the then-new analog 360º control stick (the "3d control pad"), but nobody cared about that.
The Saturn needed Sonic and didn't have it, and everything else from there was deck chairs on the Titanic.
