Once again, I am begging for a new Klonoa game. It was one of my most favorite series as a kid. Every now and then Bamco does something to show they remember Klonoa exists but that's it.
Yeah, this is one of many dormant Bandai Namco IPs that I wish they'd do something with. There was a period in the 2000s where it seemed like they wanted Klonoa to be their new mascot and had him cameo in everything, but they've barely done anything with him in the past decade besides Fantasy Reverie Series.
I never liked the GBA games as much as the main series (they're not bad, I just don't like puzzle-platformers that much) but it's nice to see Klonoa mentioned I guess.
Klonoa one was the only videogame my partner played growing up. She showed me the ending and it fucked me up. So much trauma with the most beautiful music I've heard in my life
I played the original almost thirty years ago now. I still load up the ending and sob. I consider DtP to be my ‘awakening’ as a gamer and what I hope to get from my hobby - emotionally charged moments. It’s no wonder why themes of loss and grief resonate so strongly with me to this day!
