THANK YOU to Bandai Namco for providing me with codes for the Steam and Xbox version (this is why I have the Klonoa 1 & 2 costumes). Additional thank you to the Klonoa Speedrunning community for their documentation & discussion for driving the content featured in the video.
I have re-recorded, re-voiced, and re-edited this video THREE times. Apologies if the pacing of this one is off at all.
This is a comprehensive review & comparison of Klonoa: Door to Phantomile for the PlayStation, PlayStation 2 via the Namcollection, Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC. This video also covers Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC. We cover gameplay changes, quirks, visuals, performance (including a framerate analysis of the Switch & Xbox versions), balance and content differences. This comparison should inform you of any and all significant differences between each different version of the games enough so that you can decide which version you'd prefer. It also provides a common ground for discussion among which versions others may prefer & the points of contention to refer to in discussion, in addition to clearing up misconceptions.
