Names like Jersey Devil, Beyond Good & Evil and our subject at hand Klonoa are likely among the titles mentioned, and for good reason. Namco Bandai Games has decided to resurrect Klonoa by releasing a remake of Door to Phantomile for Nintendo's newest console, and hopefully introduce an entirely new breed of gamers to this classic platformer. With a cheaper price tag, a colorful mascot and superb gameplay Klonoa is easily one of the best additions to the console's library to be released this year."
Bandai Namco's Klonoa series is finally returning with a pair of remasters, but what exactly is it, and why are fans crying tears of joy over it?
Lunatea’s Veil was/is Mind Candy.
Phantomile is also amazing, but Viel was on a while new level with the visuals and sound. I hope the remaster helps them both shine like the gems they are (better be proper remasters!). Can't wait to see these again. More gamers need to have the Klonoa Experience. It's that on-another-level, ultra-rare Namco arcady-platform magic that shines so hard with these.
Aye-Chaloopa-loopa!!! Or what ever he says.
Klonoa was good but Klonoa 2 was a masterpiece that wasn't known. I found out about it from a demo disc. Think it was the one with Dynasty Warriors 2 or3, Final Fantasy X, Crash Wrath of Cortex, SSX tricky etc. Then finally found a copy years later at a 2nd hand store and it always froze of the first surf stage lol. So sad. I did get to play more like in 2010 but never got to finish it
Both games are great, Klonoa 2 is absolutey brilliant as a whole, but looses some steam towards the end of the game.
Either way would love to play these on modern platforms.

GotGame's Bring it Back is here for another feature, giving a retrospective on Bandai Namco's classic platformer series, Klonoa.
Wich was an excellent 2.5D plarforming game from the n64 era, I am glad platformers haven't dissapeared completely this gen, I am surely going to pick this up :).
this really is one heck of a game. dont let the graphics and the price of the game fool you. at $30 it's really a steal.
it's a little short, but my god it never gets dull
-hard core gamer whos fav games are l4d, killzone2, smash bros brawl, mario galaxy, so I do know what im talking about
get this game and support it!
Played it back on the PS1 and it's as amazing now as it was then. If you're looking for a fun platformer, you're in luck.
already have the game, it's wonderful...
Damn you Americans!! Mine's preordered at Play.com... patiently waiting for 22nd May!
Anyway I've got the Wii's best game (and one of the best games of this gen) - Little King's Story - to keep me busy! =)
