A representative from Namco Bandai explains motion control is only for throwing enemies which is optional. You can still play the game in NES style, with a Classic Controller, and even a Gamecube pad.

Great interview, but I'm a little surprised Paon wasn't mentioned given they co-developed the game with Namco?

Yeah, no Japanese VA. You have the original Phanotmile gibberish and English.

This page is all screwed up – mostly displaying black – I can only see part o f the interview.

Plus the comments can only be seen by mouseover the avatars.

The North American version will have both English and Phantomile voice overs.

Maybe it's late and I need to go to bed, but what does this mean? No Japanese VA, right? Just the incoherent mumblings of the PSX game, right? Well that's much better than being shoved a horrible dub down my throat. Looks like BAMCO might have learned a lesson or two along the way.

I think there's four controller options, so no problem there.

Sucks they felt the need to add waggle into this game, hope you don't have to use that feature to progress.

OMG the interview arrives! Thank you so much Spencer!

I'm glad we can switch voices, also the added ability seems nice.

"There are no plans at this time to remake Klonoa 2 or design a brand new sequel. I would really enjoy working on a brand new Klonoa game in the future, however."

;_;
At least he's thinking of it. I sure hope this game sells well, this series is worth keeping around.

Aw man, the ending of Klonoa completely took me by surprise. The poor little eight year old me was so upset by it. I feel pretty old considering that was 10 years ago now o___o

Excellent interview Spencer : )
