Klonoa[b] is a side-scrolling platform video game for the Wii developed by Paon and published by Namco Bandai Games. It is a remake of the 1997 PlayStation game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, the first game in the Klonoa series, updating the game with fully 3D graphics, additional content, and gameplay changes. It was released in Japan in December 2008 and in North America and Europe in May 2009.
The game was conceived in an effort to revive the series for its 10th anniversary. It was produced by Hideo Yoshizawa, the director of the original Door to Phantomile, who brought in other former team members. Despite being released to positive critical reception, with some deeming it one of the best titles released on the Wii, it was a commercial failure, resulting in Bandai Namco abandoning its planned revival of the franchise at the time. The Klonoa series would not see another entry in over a decade until Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series,[c] a compilation consisting of remastered versions of Klonoa and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil, which was released in July 2022.
