These letters charge us of being overly nostalgic and often state that we artificially inflate the scores of remakes or retro-influenced titles. Recent Nintendo Wii release, Klonoa, looks to perpetuate that steady stream of electronic correspondence. The game manages to capture the zeitgeist of the late 90's platformer, albeit with a graphical makeover that doesn't obstruct the titles charming simplicity. Bottom line- it is a remake that has aged exceptionally well, and remains thoroughly enjoyable, and looks downright picturesque."
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.

Take a look at some PS1 game prices that have really taken off over the past 2 years. Some are trending much higher, but a few have dipped recently and it might be your last shot to get them into your collection affordably.
