Review: Klonoa (Wii Door to Phantomile Remake)
Posted by: | CommentsA few years back, there was a fantastic little game that went by the name of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. Largely ignored by many gamers hesitant to spend a bit of time with a mascot character that wasn’t Mario, it enjoyed moderate success but it was pushed away into obscurity. Luckily a few hardcore fans stayed with Klonoa through all of the stages, even the smaller Game Boy Advance ports and various side-quests of games. However, to most Klonoa fans, Door to Phantomile remains the true hallmark for the series, showcasing what Namco’s mascot character is truly capable of. Fast forward twelve years later to 2009, and Klonoa: Door to Phantomile has received a re-release via the Nintendo Wii. Is it worth resurrecting for the chance at making some new fans? You bet.
