IGN writes: "2.5D lives -- and not just in a downloadable format! The Wii remake of one of the genre's granddaddies hit the Japanese Wii today. We picked up a copy of Namco Bandai's Klonoa: Door to Phantomile and haven't been able to stop playing.
Klonoa first originated on the PlayStation way back in December 1997 (the 11th will be the game's 11th anniversary). That was about the time everyone was going gaga over the new gameplay opportunities of 3D, so the once painfully abundant 2D platforming genre was all but dead. "
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.
Nahima of Gaming Rebellion looks back at PS1 platformer Klonoa and why its colorful, cute setting is so memorable.
Gamers will probably never see another entry in Namco's dreamlike platform action series, and that's a darned shame.
