Klonoa arrives on Wii, my impressions.

First I would like to say that I missed the launch date for one of my most anticipated games of the year. The original release date for Klonoa was May 5th and suddenly it was showing up on Gamestop's website as an April 30th release date but later got pushed back to May 5th so I thought nothing of it. As it ends up it was indeed released early (Atleast at Gamestop) on May 1st and I did not find this out until May 4th, in which case I decided to wait until it was released at Best Buy to purchase the game.

First let me explain breifly what Klonoa is all about for those who are unaware. This is a remake to a platformer game which originated on the Playstation 1 back in 1997. It is a 2.5D platformer as people like to refer to it as it is on a two dementional plane however this plane shifts the camera to give the effect of the game moving on three dimensions. The game is filled with cute charm and characters as well as a surprisingly engaging story. The platforming takes on light puzzle solving elements as Klonoa can grab his enemies and use them to give himself double jumps, hit switches, and more.
