It is absolutely criminal that there hasn't been a proper Klonoa game in seven years. The Wonderswan game, its GBA remake, subsequent sequel, and that crummy action RPG just don't do the platformers justice. Not sure if you all remember that rumor blog that popped up late last year penned by "SurferGirl", but one there was a piece of heresay that showed up there that Klonoa Team was working on a new platformer for Wii. I would freak out if that came to pass.

I'm still astounded by the original whenever I replay it. Possibly the most tragic and effed up ending I've ever witnessed in a game.

Klonoa on the PS and it's PS2 sequel are a pair of my favorite platformers. They are fantastic games and I need to whip them out soon. Maybe I'll even write up a retrospective. Anyway, this is interesting trivia. I still have the first Ninja Gaiden game sitting on my Wii unplayed. Part of my monster backlog.

As a Klonoa fan it's really amazing to discover it has this kind of pedigree. Now I have a nice piece of trivia to toss out while I'm trying to convince more people to try this very under-appreciated series.
