For the North American version, Namco Bandai proposed a redesign for the character to make him look less "old-fashioned" and appealing for Western audiences, a design that was met with a significant negative backlash and swiftly scrapped. Care was taken into making the game easier to control and more intuitive, such as altered level designs, the speed at which Klonoa runs, and his attack range. The team chose the Wii as the platform to develop it for due to its wide appeal. The game was produced by Hideo Yoshizawa, the director of the original Door to Phantomile, alongside other former members of the Klonoa Works division. In acknowledgement of the series' impending 10-year anniversary, Namco Bandai decided that a remake of the original would be the best approach. It is the eighth and final game in the Klonoa series.ĭevelopment of the game began after Shin Unozawa, the vice president of Namco Bandai Games, expressed interest in reviving the series. Gameplay takes place within a 2.5D perspective, featuring 2D gameplay with 3D graphics. As a remake of the 1997 PlayStation game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, it follows the titular character and his friend Huepow in their efforts to save the dreamworld of Phantomile from the evil spirit Ghadius, who plots to turn it into a world of nightmares.
It was released in Japan in 2008, and in both North America and Europe in 2009. Klonoa is a side-scrolling platform video game developed by Paon and published by Namco Bandai Games for the Wii.
