I’ll always prefer the rudimentary sprite-heavy visuals of the PS1 release, but what’s here is nicely and lovingly brought into the current generation. On that note, the updated graphics do look excellent, minus some egregious blooming effects here and there. Probably more gamers experienced the Wii remake, so it’s nice that we’re getting a pair of largely ignored classics in one modern, accessible, updated collection. Between the two of them, they’ve occupied a somewhat niche corner of Namco’s storied library, and I still don’t think a whole lot of people have played these games.

Basically, if you haven’t played any of the Klonoa games, they’re arguably great platformers with an interesting surrealist style.
