Klonoa (2008 Video Game)
''Klonoa'' is a platform game, side-scrolling platform video game for the Wii developed by Paon and published by Namco Bandai Games. It is a remake of the 1997 PlayStation (console), PlayStation game ''Klonoa: Door to Phantomile'', the first game in the ''Klonoa'' series, updating the game with fully 3D graphics, additional content, and gameplay changes.

It was produced by Hideo Yoshizawa, the director of the original ''Door to Phantomile'', who brought in other former team members. Despite being released to positive critical reception, with some deeming it one of the best titles released on the Wii, it was a commercial failure, resulting in Bandai Namco abandoning its planned revival of the franchise at the time. The ''Klonoa'' series would not see another entry in over a decade until ''Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Ser ...
