[The Colonel]

klonoa 2 doesnt need a remake. klonoa 2 is a beautiful game

klonoa 1 is also a beautiful game but the wii version basically lost all of the original aesthetic and it was for the worse. like klonoa 1 actively has characters remarking about how short klonoa is but... the wii design makes him taller than a lot of them are. it doesnt even make sense from a design consistency standpoint because the point of klonoa 1 is that klonoa's a dumb little snot, the big adventure is something he falls into. in klonoa 2 he's grown up a bit, he's more mature, he's taking on the role of a protector for someone else so he's bigger and stronger and he's more in the loop about what's going on story-wise. the wii version did not reflect this in his design at all and it makes the presentation feel more disjointed which is frustrating since klonoa 1 genuinely has great storytelling

also klonoa wii had pre rendered opening and ending cutscenes. this isn't strictly a bad thing but it means they couldn't really base a new remake off of it to the letter because even if they chose to maintain wii klonoa's design, those scenes would look much uglier and more dated than the rest of the game. it's just easier to do a full new version from the ground up with new cutscenes and assets
