Klonoa has to be the most neglected mascot platformer of all time
Holy crap, you are everywhere!
More neglected than Bubsy.
Flame of Udun HAI YAI FORCES!!!!!
Agreed
Flame of Udun I've always thought of him as Namco' Sonic Mascot.
It's kinda crazy because Adventure 2 came out the same year and they were both rocking a board.
Personally, as someone who grew up with Klonoa 1 and only recently played the second one a year and a half ago, I actually prefer the second game.
I love the first game and all, but I just kinda feel the characters in the second game had a bit more substance to them. Plus I absolutely love the symbolism and overarching themes in the game that slowly make more and more sense as you get closer to the end. I don't really want to spoil what happens in the end, but it all really resonated with me.
Also, in terms of the music, I thought it was equally amazing, but for kinda different reasons. It felt a bit more... melancholy overall. Which is kinda fitting for this game.
It's all subjective though.
Also, it's pronounced "vay-el" like "wedding veil". :P
If you don't wanna spoil it, then I will.
yo uh spolier alert
you uh
tat splits herself
and karal is a fucking trap
This cat monster thing needs another game
Cabbit.
Too bad Mannco won't make a Klonoa 3.
At least Smash 5, or PlayStation Battle Royal
Oh my goodness, "veil" is an actual English word.
Thank you all for your patience with this review! Sorry it took a while! You're all the best and you've all got de juice!
OMG Rosie, I love you for making that Simple and clean intro!!!!!
VEEEEEEEL?!
Hey, have you heard about the Klonoa Movie?
Don't play this game on the PS3, even the PS3 with backwards compatibility - it will ALWAYS freeze on the Ark level. It has to be on PS2. I'm sorry, it's sad, it works fine up until that point, but when it comes to the switches that you have to use to make the elevators go up and down, the PS3 just can't do them for some reason. I'm sorry. V_V
This was a wonderful review! I was so enthralled that I even found myself pausing the video periodically to "debate" your points and opinions with my own thoughts on Klonoa 2! I honestly prefer the sequel over the first game for a wide variety of reasons, but I think both games are irreplaceable treasures that deserve so much more attention. Thank you very much for this video! It was a ton of fun to watch.
P.S. - As a final note, my own copy of Klonoa 2 has never frozen on me! I've had that disc for over a decade now, and it still works just as well as it did back then. Maybe you got a poor copy? Not your fault at all, just an unfortunate setback.
Lunaeta's veal? Didn't know Lunatea had a very specific brand of meat XD.
It's pronounced "veyl". You know like that thing brides wear to hide their faces? One of those
I'm sorry you didn't get to play to the end. It really has quite the build up and really makes the journey worth it.
Klano? Kloana? KLOOONAAAWWR
Lunatea's Veal - only 9.99 and might contain Salmonella.
Also, Toad voice game is A+
Also also, it's Vey-l, like what a bride wears, all hail grammar Hitler.
bumfacef
Obviously.
so the kingdow of sorrow being covered represents klonoa trying to forget about the sadness of losing huepow?
I feel that a big part of your criticism for the second game comes from your nostalgia of the first. I played the second game first (years ago) and then tried the first one much later, and felt the opposite to you. I preferred 2's graphics, music, gameplay etc, and I also would place that mostly on nostalgia. Regardless, it's great to see this game still get coverage! :)
I looked for Klonoa 2 on ebay and was thinking that ATM it is way to expensive. By makeing the game more public you'll not help me get one copy! Thanks for the sabotage!!! :p
GUYS KLONOA IS BACK! THE 1ST AND 2ND REMAKE IS HAPPENING!!.
Yay, since Caddy is on a break i get to see his sister talk about 2.5D!!!
Minus the cyoar
TWO
POINT
FIVE
D!!!!!!
TWO POINT FIVE
DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Wait wait wait Professor Juice is Caddy's sister?!
I wish Nintendo had chosen to port this instead of K1: it's much more suited for their consoles. (Hopefully in near future? Kirby's Return to Dreamland gave me speculation with its soundtrack).
If I could just add a counterpoint to why K2 is slightly better than 1: the message. It can be assumed it's Klonoa facing growth and accepting grief (sorrow) as a natural emotion rather stay in oblivious existence (tranquil, joyful, discord, indecision). It probably explores Klonoa's acceptance of his role and can move forward with his unconscious grief over losing Phantomile.
If I see a new Professor Juice episode, I click like. Simple life facts.
Can you play smt digital devil saga
Veil is an english word, you KNOW how to pronounce it.
And the music thing is kind of biased. The second game's levels are a bit too open, and less bright. That's why you like them less.
This was, funnily enough, my FIRST Klonoa game as I found quite cheap secondhand and bought it on a whim (I'd never actually heard of Klonoa then). I thoroughly enjoyed it and then bought the first one, enjoying that one too. I really hope that you do get to finish this game for yourself, as the story towards the end gets pretty good. Personally, I couldn't say which Klonoa game I prefer as I love them both for different reasons.
Love Klonoa!!! It's a fav platformer of mine
One of my favorite games of all time! Klonoa and Tomba are fantastic and totally shoved to the side, especially Tomba. Thanks for the review!
Ahhhhhh hell yes, love me some klonoa
klonoa is just too cute X3
Yes. Yes, he is.
Hope there's a juicy halloween episode coming up 🎃
They took the PS2 emulation out of the PS3 because they actually had to stick PS2 chips in there to make it work, and taking them out saved money. A lot of people don't realize, but Playstation 1 games still worked on later PS3 models!
OneColdMonkey The other reason PS2 emulation was removed was because there were a lot of hardware problems in those old systems. Both the ps3 chips and PS2 chips together made a lot of heat, which meant that over time the solder would crack as the heat dissipated through the chips. This cracking could result in the chips becoming partially or completely disconnected from the rest of the system, which would require costly repairs. It's not unreasonable for this feature to be removed when they had to repair or replace broken systems regularly, and is also why they stopped supporting the older models when they introduced later hardware revisions.
Really, they installed PS2 chips to make it work? Then why didn't PS2 games work on the damn things thirty percent of the time????? Like this game, for instance - the bit Rosie mentioned where she quit, that ALWAYS happens, those switches that you use to make the elevators go up and down, for some reason, the backwards-compatible PS3s can handle the switch being flipped once, but not a second time, they just can't do it. Other games are completely UNPLAYABLE because of this, I have PS2 games that I couldn't play on my backwards-compatible PS3 because a trigger for a VERY early-on part of the game just couldn't trigger.
Wandergirl108 The reason that those PS2 games didn't work was because some backwards compatible models didn't have the full hardware set. There were models that had the PS3 processor and both PS2 processors, and then there were some that had the PS3 processor and only one of the PS2 processors, but were given a software emulator embedded in the firmware to compensate for the missing hardware. Unfortunately, the software emulation didn't work at all for some 10-20% of all PS2 titles, and some games ran incorrectly or produced glitches that weren't present on original PS2s. The software emulation was used after Sony realized that full hardware compatibility was digging into their profit per unit, but backwards compatability was later removed entirely to further reduce production costs.
Huh. Fascinating. Is there some way to get the hardware installed on a console that lacks it? Because I don't want to change out my PS3, she and I have been through a lot together, but I would like to be able to play ALL my games on her…Though, to be fair, she does mess up PS1 games as well, usually in minor ways but still. V_V
Wandergirl108 Unfortunately, no. Each model is designed with particular hardware in mind, and as such there isn't any way to add or remove things such as processors in the same way you can with traditional desktop computers. All models have embedded hardware, meaning the hardware cannot be removed without technical knowledge and proper equipment. And even if you did meet those requirements, a PS3 model with partial emulation doesn't physically have a connector for the second PS2 processor. On top of that, models featuring full hardware emulation are very rare to find in working condition due to the heat dissipation problem mentioned earlier. The cheapest option is to find one that's broken and try sending it to a repair service, though with that method you'll spend more on the service than the console itself, setting you back $100 easily. The cheapest and easiest option is to simply get a PS2.
love the review definitely gonna subscribe. A Klonoa Remake/sequel needs to happen I've been waiting since I first played the Wii Remaster.
About that, it's coming. Just wait until around July 8th.
Funny. I was just playing this game yesterday. A very underrated game franchise, if you ask me! Let's hope we'll get it back someday! ^^
I love this game so much. It has to be my favourite ever, right after Door to Phantomile.
9:27 made me laugh out loud
The real dick in your intro's story, is the retail assistant who put their ego before good friendly customer service, and embarrassed you for making a purchase! So don't worry Rosie :)
Your Toad impression is spot on!
The second game is the first game I played. I saw it on offer that weekend when it was still new while I was getting a PS2 bundle. I didn't regret it. Then after roughly 2 years of searching picked up the 1st game at a bootfair =D
I also feel sorry for sleeping moo. I even did a picture of it 10 years ago: shorturl.at/hFJNP
If you ever try playing Klonoa 2 again I highly recommend Leorina's boss fight. Her boss theme is easily one of the best tracks in the game.
Come back
Man, I only have Klonoa for Wii.
It’s a gud game.
Whaaaaat? I always thought Popka was cute af hehe. Honestly that to me makes this video a hella lot more funny
14:51 yeah no, might just be you tbh. Both have phenomenal soundtracks that match the stages perfectly.
I tought the first Klonoa games was to Childish to be taken too seriously so when it's really dark I couldn't buy into it. I could not care about Klonoa's grandpa dying but i still cryed at the end.
Never knew there was a second Klonoa! The first one was one of my favorite games of all time. I'll have to check this out.
Terriermon probably got his ears from him. This was one of my first games on PS2. Having some Kirby 64 experience made me feel right at home.
Why is Terriermon named after a dog? It’s clearly a rabbit!
No mention of the greatest snowboarding level in the history of gaming (aside from the one in Sonic 3)?
I remember first getting Klonoa 2. I was playing Mario Party 8 with my dad along with my grandpa. My uncle then comes in, telling us he bought a new game from the swap meet. I quickly ran to the ps2, popped in the Klonoa 2 disc, and I couldn't put the controller down.
Shame you didn't play till the end, the endgame has really the best levels and the best music (cursed leorina track is amazing). Maze Of Memories and kingdom of sorrow were easily the best levels in the game for me as well (along with Joilant).
Such a fantastic game and imo 100x better than the original.
i was also introduced to klonoa thanks to a PlayStation magazine demo disc. sadly that is my only experience with the first game. my Lil brother did own the full game of klonoa 2 so I did get to play the full game. but I still have yet to play the full game of the first one
Aside from the music you said, it's really different because you're in another world which you don't know unlike where back in Phantomile huepow manipulates you so you would think of the area as some cheerful chime because you feel familiar of the area
What the hell? Didnt finish the game cus didnt want to repeat a level!? Thats some investment right there... especially from someone who says that she loves klonoa...
K2 was my introduction to the series and it was very nostolgic to play it again recently. I understand why you compare it to the OG, as the first one you grew up with. Going to try the first one now, to see how good it is ^^ Wahoo!
There he is. The guy that changed my life in just a few days. The first guy that actually made me squeal like a little girl. The second guy to make me cry like a little bitch. Twice. I need some help.
They took out the PS2 backwards compatibility feature because the PS3 was struggling and having the feature was too expensive in the long run.
theAidster yeah the first PS3 models had also PS2 hardware built in. But that was too costly and made PS3 too expensive. So years later they developed software version instead
Wait... This hat was recently featured on PlayStation access!
I can never pronounce Klonoa. Klunao? Klonaoa? K- i give up.
Anyway, back to the jingle!
Wahoo!
Lol I think the poster you get at the end is from completing the training level
Well see that freezing problem; exactly the reason why Sony gave up on BC PS3's the emulation is really unreliable and games just dont work allot of the times.
PLUS Europe only ever got the worse BC model the one that does software based emulation, there is another one that does hardware based emulation and it's much more reliable tho still not as good as an actual PS2.
That intro to the game just hit me with nostalgia so hard I had a *minor stroke*
This game was actually my introduction to Klonoa, I didn't even SEE the first game until many years later. Same with Tomba (or Tombi), the sequel was the one I knew, I didn't really encounter the original until many years later. Both thanks to your brother, actually! Also, Klonoa is not FROM the dream world, he's from another world entirely and goes to the worlds of these games IN HIS DREAMS, why is this so hard for people to understand! DX Honestly, the sequel's ending made that VERY clear, after the credits you wake up and see the ring on your bedside, the sun is shining and birds are singing meaning you have awoken from the dream of Lunatea.
Also, funnily enough, I feel the exact opposite of the way you do when it comes to the level design, the visuals, and especially the music. This is far superior to the first in my opinion. Probably because this is the one I played as a kid, not the first game… :P
Whilst its a direct sequel I feel that Klonoa 2 does a good job of setting it self up within the world of Lunatea, instead of using the story of the first game as a crutch. Whilst it does help to play the first game, the opening is ambiguous enough to the point that playing the first game really isn't that necessary. I got Klonoa 2 for my 7th birthday as a kid and that was my introduction to the series, but never felt lost as the game did very well in setting the plot within the world it resided in, as opposed to something like Kingdom hearts 2 where you are expected to know essential plot points from previous installments in order to truly understand the bigger picture of the games overall story.
It works well for this series though as Klonoa is merely an observer of these worlds he goes there and solves the problems within the worlds but hes never truly apart of them, as they are simply just stops in his journey. It allows the series to keep the stories of each game self contained within its own game and worlds with there own set of unique and colourful characters, instead of leaking out into sequels, sure it helps to know information from prior games like Klonoa being from a dream world but its never required. It gives the player the ability to start with any of the games and understand whats going on, to a point since the GBA games do expect you to play the other games, dream champ tournament comes to mind.
When I was little I thought klonoa was a sonic character
Klonoa 1 demo disc memories WAHOO!!!!!!
Hopefully Namco brings back this cute little legend at some point. Though I think his Door to Phantomile design was better I'm perfectly happy to have Klonoa's friends along for the ride if the day comes.
so you didn't finish klonoa 2?
if you play it on a ps2 it wont freeze
or at least it hasn't for me
The opening theme sounds different (0:02)
Ah female caddicarus I like funnys
This guy looks like he's part of the sonic cast.
That intro is a subscriber waiting to happen
Looks like a Sonic OC.
You have the best accent in the entire face of the earth.
I also prefer his design in the original game, in Klonoa 2 and beyond, he kinda looks like a Sonic OC, and the music was better in the original game
i was really a tomba fan.
Caddy: klanow klona klooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
o - o OMG I never played this, but ive got Kingdom Hearts Feels
I found out about klanoa 2 from a ps2 demo disc
Rip Klonoa.. I miss that Doggo... I love the series... Lunateas veil is good... But door to phantomile... IS A MASTERPEICE.
Haven't even gotten a munite in and I litteraly said out loud. "What is this Kingdom Hearts shit."
It must be some sort of dream-based story.
Youdadfouyomothrds
NO WAY
I R SO HAPP!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was met with the same response when I bought this speshul edition of Guild Wars Nightfall. Why do they do that in used games shops.
You should do a review on Pac-Man World for PlayStation 1, it's a fantastic game!!! you should play it, it's really enjoyable!!!
Thanks.....2.5 DDDDDDDDDDD :DDDDDD
TWOO POINT FIIVE DEEEEEEE!!!!!
Klonoa needs to be resurrected!
*hears Mine of Lights* yeah its a nice soundtrack *hears Cave of Glimmer Moss,* *feels shivers down spine* yeah sorry Klonoa 2's soundtrack is WAY better than Klonoa 1's in my eyes...they're both good though! That said I hope you do continue to play the game toward the end because even if you have watched the ending, the levels up to it are absolutely incredible.
Hi juice
*WAHOO!!!*
This was my first PS2 game. I loved it and I still play it when I need to unwind =D
The world won't forget sorrow anymore ;)
You should really try to continue the story if you haven't already. It's definitely worth it. If I remember correctly, you're at a very pivotal part of it (which is why it's such a long level)... and it's a shame you didn't finish.
That toad impression though. XD
You should check out the Game Boy Advance Klonoa games for the 20th anniversary this December.
I still have my original copy of this game! It's an amazing game, love it so much!
Says "Professor who prophesises" in a smooth take, takes four to say "Leorina."
Although is prophesises the proper conjugation? I'd go with prophesies, personally
Will you do a colab with caddy
Klonoa 3 must be made
Holy shit so edgy wtf
My first experience with Klonoa was a demo disc for PS2 with 2 Klonoa 2 levels, the first one and the water surfing thingie
Still love Klonoa and that freakin song in the snow boarding stage makes me so happy whenever I play it!!
16:14 Whiplash, much?
Hey, Juice Maestro, Can you review A Hat In Time?
I'm in the opposite boat. Klonoa 2 was my first game in the series and is the one I will go back to time and time again. As far as games that I played, it has one of the smoothest difficulty curves ever. I love this game so much. The music, the characters, the level design, just... everything ❤️
Anyways, you should review The Incredibles video game on either the Xbox, or ps2!
The villin in the first one was genuinely about as terrifying as deathtrap dungeon just from how out of place and dark he was in comparison to the rest of the game. Also deathtrap dungeon... My childhood nightmares have resurfaced.
This is pretty cool
