FYI I've been planing this thread for a week now, and has nothing to do with Croc or Gex threads ;3 ...just don't castrate me over the grammar, point it out for me and I'll fix it @3@
...and let me know if I linked one too many YT vids >_>;
In December 1997, Namco introduced a new hero to the pantheon of Video Game Platform heroes: Klonoa. The first game, Door to Phantomile is considered among the first 2.5D gamesâ¦to get it right. In Japan the series is known as Kaze no Klonoa.
Between 1997 and 2002, the Klonoa series had half a dozen games released on various platforms. Incidentally enough, this would be the ONLY period in which the Klonoa series had any new games released in Japan, until 2008/2009 when a remake for the 1st game was released to the Wii. The last known Klonoa games to be released in English are Dream Champ Tournament, which was released in 2005 for the GBA (it was released in Japan in 2002), and Klonoa Wii in 2009. The last Klonoa game released in Japan is Densetsu no Star Medal/Legendary Star Medal, which was released in December 2002, with the Wii remake releasing in 2008.
I personally own a copy of the Wii ver. and have beaten it and I really liked it. If you have a Wii, def. check it out as itâs a pretty good and for the most part, faithful remake and the graphics are very good, and it supports the classic controller.
Furthermore, Klonoa 1 is available on US PSN and will work on the Vita.
The Klonoa series recently got a webcomic which is pretty good and is drawn by Hitoshi Ariga (who drew Rockman manga series, and even if you didn't like his Rockman work, this comic is still great):

Hardcore Gaming did a write-up on the Klonoa series-
hardcoregaming101.net/klonoa/klonoa.htm
â¦but hereâs take a quick rundown of the Klonoa games that were released over the years:
Klonoa: Door to Phanotmile
Released to the Playstation/PSX on December 1997 in Japan and in 1998 in Europe and USA.
It got a remake that was released for the Nintendo Wii on December 2008 in Japan, with its English release being May 2009.
Kaze no Klonoa: Moonlight Museum
Released to the Wonderswan on May 1999, in Japan only.
This game set the basis for how the later GBA games played.
Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil
Released to the PS2 in 2001, first in Japan then months later in English
The game, sadly, is not available on PSN yet.
Klonoa: Empire of Dreams
Released to the GBA in 2001 for Japan and US, Europe got it in 2002
Klonoa Beach Volleyball
Released in 2002 to the PSX in Japan and Europe only
Supports 4 player, and I rather want to play it if only for being a Klonoa game >_>;
Klonoa 2: Dream Champ Tournament
Released for the GBA in Japan on August 2002, US release was in 2005
Introduced Gantz who would appear with Klonoa in Namco x Capcom.
Klonoa Heroes: Densetsu no Star Medal
Released for the GBA in December 2002 (seriesâ 5th anniversary~) in Japan only.
Introduces Pango and is an action RPG game, though based on HCGâs article it isnât that good, sadly.
Here are links to some amazing tracks from the 1st game. I gotta say the people who worked on the music did a fantastic job of making the music tell you that youâre playing in a mystical world.
