Titled simply Klonoa here in the west, the Wii re-release was a ground-up rebuild of the PS1 game, helmed by staff from the original production. Dragon - especially since copies of the PS1 original can go for $60 or more on eBay.įull disclosure: This game has been remade once before.
hero is just as deserving of a high-def definitive edition as Crash Bandicoot or Spyro T. I’ve been beating this drum since 1998 and I’m not going to stop now: Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is one of the best platformers ever made.
Here are five games that I think desperately deserve the Crash/ Spyro ground-up treatment, but I’m willing to settle for careful up-res releases if I have to. But preservation is important, and my niece deserves to play Parappa the Rapper just as much as you did when you were her age.Īnyway, there’s still a lot of ground to cover in the remake/remaster space. And that’s fine! People like to rain on the retro parade as being an easy way to make money - “These companies are just selling you games you’ve already bought,” say the naysayers, which isn’t totally untrue. With remasters for Resident Evil 2 and the Panzer Dragoon games still on the way, this trend won’t be going anywhere soon. Even the “up-res only” space is doing better these days, with stuff like Lumines Remastered and Rez HD bringing the soul of yesteryear to modern players. We’ve also seen remakes like Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap, which took an 8-bit game for the Sega Master System and rebuilt it as a gorgeous, hand-animated adventure fit for Saturday morning.
Sane Trilogy and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy have returned their respective 32-bit classics to the modern era, rekindling the spark of these retro titles while remaining mostly accurate to the source material. The last couple of years have been great for old games.
