A fun take on the original, I like that it serves as a reboot of the American version of the game while being a sequel to the Japanese version.
Why the FUCK did they not localize this
This is the perfect video game
A great addition to the series, albeit a tad short. Regardless, still a great time.
As a KiKi KaiKai purist, it does bother me a little that they didn't stick to the Japanese names of "Sayo-chan" and "Manuke", but it's a minor detail and doesn't hamper my enjoyment of the game.
Also, the English version is censored for some weird reason but the Japanese version is fully playable in English, so I'm happy about that.

A really great remake of a classic that remains faithful, yet stands alone as its own unique experience. The new designs are great and it plays really well.
Probably the definitive version of the game, IMO.

A decent remaster, but the changes to Door to Phantomile were honestly disappointing and I have such mixed feelings on it.
Pretty much all of the designs from the Wii version were cut out without an option to toggle them, which feels baffling. The script is reverted to the PS1 version, which has a lot of stilted lines and some mistranslations. The environments are brightened up in places which looks nice, but the animations are stiffer and pretty much every bonus feature from the Wii game was cut out. It still plays decently, but it just overall feels like a step back aside from the environmental touch-ups.
Klonoa 2, on the other hand, I've experienced pretty much no issues with aside from the boss death animations not being as good.
Honestly, they should have just ported the Wii version unchanged alongside the PS1 version, that way everyone's happy regardless of which one you prefer. Overall, it's not bad, and I appreciate that they bothered to remaster the series at all, but I feel like the changes to DtP are super unnecessary.

A solid addition to the franchise. The launch roster is a bit smaller than XIV's, which was a little disappointing, but DLC appears to be making up for that.

This game is really good but also I'm way too stupid to figure out some of these puzzles without a guide

A fun and charming little platformer that's a pretty enjoyable time.
Probably one of the best Kirby games ever made, and a great first foray into the third dimension for the series. Here's hoping for more in the future!

A really charming and fun racer! I love the designs and environments, and the story mode is really nice.
My only real issue is the DLC model, not a big fan of the Battle Pass-style format they're doing, though if stuff from past seasons get featured in the Gil shop eventually, most of the issues I'd have with it would be dealt with. Either way, it's another Chocobo game, and I'm always happy to see one of those.

A pretty fun take on the Sonic series with an enjoyable story.
I liked seeing E-102 Gamma and Chaos back in something, and collecting the different moves to customize Emerl is a pretty fun mechanic.

Fun and charming, with adorable visuals and great designs and art by Akihito Tsukushi (best known now for Made in Abyss). I love this game a ton, it always manages to put a smile on my face.
2012
Good ass game, great artstyle with fun puzzles and interesting locations to explore.
2015
Pretty much improves on the original, which was already great, in every single way.
The character interactions and sheer amount of fanservice for fans of the various franchises is a lot of fun. Here's hoping for a third entry someday!
