Looks like Namco want to make Klonoa all edgy. *Awful design inside*
lvl54spacemonkey | 12:17 PM on 10.30.2008 15 comments


I've just had one of those survey things from Namco-Bandai about the new Klonoa game. It's just asking which of 2 character designs I preferred. ne is the classic Klonoa design that all the cool kids know and love.

The other was this




Looks like some horrible manga inspired saturday morning cartoon crap. Why do they feel the need to make classic characters looks all edgy? Happened to Sonic years back and he still hasn't recovered. Although at least with Sonic he was always the wisecracking cool sort. klonoas just a cuddley cartoony giant cat. He's about as edgy as a satsuma.

Comment away!

Oh man...didn't work for Sonic or the Prince of Persia, and it won't work here.

Emo design + buttrock edgy soundtrack (oh you know they will add it) = FAIL

Where can I vote on this, I need to make my voice heard! Klonoa is not Klonoa without his long, fluffy ears!

you have to be on their mailing list to get the survey email. they send them out to random people. I used to get quite a few from Codemasters. Some of the stuff they would ask about was pretty cool. Like 2 years ago they were asking if I would be interested in a game based on the Ghostbusters license. Hells yes I told them.

I'd hit it.

Its not a bad design, its just not Klonoa without the ears. Though quite frankly if it gets me a new Klonoa game I don't care if they give him fangs.
lvl54spacemonkey's Destructoid Blog
what if they turned him into a were-cat and spent half the game as a devil may cry for kids clone?


actually that sounds kinda cool.

Kotaku are covering this now. Of course I get no credit. Sure I didn't tell them but they should be psychic or something.

Bad scamco, BAD SCAMCO! I like klonoa just as he is thank you very much.
ParaParaKing's Destructoid Blog
Why would they ever want to do that? Seriously.
lvl54spacemonkey's Destructoid Blog
Because Namco are curently hell bent on taking all the fun out of the industry. Seriously, Half for Beautiful Katamari is on disc DLC. They charged £4 for a character in soul calibur. took out weapon master mode too. And now they wanna make Klonoa edgy.


bloody Namco.
