While it doesn't have that same pull as the original did, I'm aware this is peak nostalgia speaking. This didn't hit me until I noticed the intro cutscene to Klonoa: Door To Phantomile was entirely remade with the in-game engine as opposed to the original's FMV sequence. Everything About Klonoa: Door To Phantomile Is Remade All good underrated series has an origin and we'll begin with Klonoa. While I felt the latter was an interesting choice as Sea of Tears is iconic as the game's opening level, La-Lakoosha is one of my favorite levels of the game.

On the Japanese eShop page, the game should be one of the featured titles, meaning curious players won't have to look far. To access the Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series demo, a Japanese account is more than enough.

As shown in our first impressions of Super Robot Wars 30, it's easy to create an account to access any region's eShop. Thankfully, this new generation of gaming has made it easier to play region-exclusive titles and enjoy their benefits. With the release two weeks away, surely there'd be something like a demo to hype up the remasters, right? Fortunately for old and new fans of Klonoa, there is! Unfortunately, it's only available in Japan and Asia regions! What was even better was that the remasters were expected to release in Summer 2022 across all major platforms. A remaster of Klonoa 1 and 2 was announced under the title Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series. Publisher: Bandai Namco Entertainment WAHOO!
