Klonoa! (now without that $80 ebay price tag)

Seven years since Klonoa 2 and we get... a remake of the first one.

Quote:
Namco Bandai has announced in the latest Famitsu magazine that a Klonoa : Door to Phantomile remake will be released on the Wii on December 4 in Japan. The game will have cel shaded graphics and NES style controls with the Wiimote. The game is 99% complete.
Spoiler:


Maybe more than four people will buy it this time. Maybe five! See you in another seven years when they announce a Klonoa 2 remake, followed by a gumball machine based off the Volleyball game and a novelty dildo that refreshes various holes with the existence of the GBA games.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

In before Miles buys five million copies. Is the Wii region locked? He'd probably buy them anyways even if he can't play it.

No one could find the original PSX version because I bought every US copy in existence.

Namco, I take back every bad thing I said about you these past few years. =D I hope that they let you use the gamecube controller with this game. Sideways wii-mote kinda sucks for playing games.

How ya doing, buddy?

I would have thought that the game was 100% complete, given they already launched it once. Maybe that's why nobody bought the Playstation version, because it wasn't finished?

Another Wiimake, what a shocker. This could be decent, but they seriously need to start putting some better shit on the Wii.

Wii Fit was the second best selling game in the UK last week with Wii Sports still somewhere in the top 10. You can forgive them for resting on their laurels I guess. When people are still buying the same old crap, there's very little incentive to release anything else.

While it was horribly disappointing at first to see this was just a remake, I'm still looking forward to it. Door to Phantomile was the first PSX game I owned, and I loved it. I guess I must have sold it at some point though, since I couldn't find my copy when I went looking for it a year ago. With any luck this will lead to a new Klonoa game too, but just having a remake of the original is fine by me.

It is my duty to buy it solely because it might induce Namco Bandai to bring over any old or new Klonoa games.

As noble as that is, Namco will "grace" us with this remake and nothing more. There's no way in hell they'd do something NEW.

I'm just glad it's not going to the 360, where there would be DLC for new hats for Klonoa, and each one would cost you 10 dollars. There would be four hundred of them. One would have the Team Aces logo, one would have a Tales character on it, some Valkyrie No Densetsu hat, and one would have some reference to The Tower of Druaga, which would make some faggots feel hardcore for getting.

Either that or we could pay to go straight to the last level. I dunno.

You do NOT want to know the words that came out of my mouth last night when my friend showed me that image.

This is very exciting but a bit disappointing. Though it's a remake of DtP, at least Namco didn't forget about Klonoa! Hopefully if (enough) people buy it they will consider making more games *coughtruesequelcough* (though I didn't mind the GBA games).

This is going to be my second imported game for the Wii this year. Come on $80 price tag (estimate)!

Oh neat! I Played a little of the game on emulator (Since Miles bought all the copies) and it REALLY has dated badly. I will be wanting to get this when it comes out

Don't be ridiculous, Skills. The real money would come from selling off each of the Idolm@ster girls as replacements for Huepow.

Even a REMAKE of Klonoa is miles better than anything put on Wii. Here's to hoping for a real sequel, since they already reckognized the fanbase's existence with a remake of the first game.

I'll buy it. I've played and really enjoyed all the Klonoa GBA games and Door to Phantomile (haven't checked out Lunatea yet), so this is a no-brainer.

I'd rather buy a remake of the original on Wii than have to track down a used copy of the PSX version on Ebay for $80 frankly.

The original isn't that expensive anymore unless it's sealed. Then the price jumps in the 200s! xD

It's a concious step by developers. When you announce details of a game halfway through development, there's potential for a lot of people to be dissapointed when you end up leaving out half the features ('Sup Mass Effect?), plus kids these days get so worked up and excited about the release they can't help but be let down when the final product ends up not actually providing a cure for cancer like the thought it would.

You wouldn't expect to see trailers for a film too long before it was released and I guess games developers are following suite, waiting until the game is in an all but ready to release state before starting the hype machine rolling. Also, as more and more developers are consolidated under a fewer number of producers, the parent companies aren't going to want the interest in a future game to negatively impact sales of one that's already been released.

Looks really good! I'm about tired of remakes as well, but if enough people buy this game, I'm sure we'll start seeing more Klonoa games on the Wii. Maybe a remake of the Klonoa on the Wonderswan that no one got a chance to play.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Must buy for me. I've played the 2 GBA adventures, the PSX volleyball game, and Klonoa 2. All are awesome.

I wonder if they'll be redoing the music or leave it as-is.
I'm a big fan of the two main klonoa soundtracks, so I'm hoping to get a redone OST. The Klonoa games really had a great "dream-like" atmosphere, which is of course appropriate due to the storyline. I actually think it pulls off the "dream" feeling better than Nights.

Yes, I'll be also interested in their arrangement. Hopefully they don't overdo/kill it. x_x

For those who care (and wonder why Namco(Bandi) didn't update their Japanese's Klonoa@home page) here's the Official Site Wiimake. Right now there's nothing beside a wallpaper-look-a-like page but if you look hard enough you'll see something opening up on October 10th.

Beside MuppeTFuckeR, seems like no one else is keeping this topic up to date (or you're visiting other site for latest news *coughlinkonsigcough* ).

Lets start off by showing more pictures!





Here's more video footage from TGS 2008.
YouTube - Klonoa Wii'TGS 08' Gameplay (1/3)
YouTube - Klonoa Wii'TGS 08' Gameplay (2/3)
YouTube - Klonoa Wii'TGS 08' Gameplay (3/3)

For those keeping tabs, it seems that Namco made some adjustment to stages (in this case a boss stage).


This could be a good or bad in term of difficulty... or how the director vision a stage from the beginning (if you read his notes from the magazine).

The official site is now open. So far only the story and character page is up. If you don't understand Japanese one of my friend will be translating the site on his dA's Journal page.

A CM/trailer should be popping up on the 18th but I think this video is likely to be it. From the trailer they're speaking Japanese and it sounds like Namco is using the original soundtrack. I hope this is just a trailer only as a part of me wish for an arranged soundtrack. Though I'll be fine if they stick to the original.
