“We currently don’t have anything planned [original Klonoa game], but I’m hoping we will be able to come up with a new Klonoa game.” – Klonoa director Hideo Yoshizawa
You may remember that Yoshizawa also told Nintendo Power that Klonoa 2 could end up on Wii. It looks as though a lot of Klonoa love is heading Nintendo’s way!

SEGA sees lack of hardcore games on Wii as an opportunity
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Admittedly, there is a lack of hardcore games on the Wii. SEGA, however, will partially fix that with MadWorld, The Conduit, and House of the Dead: Overkill. In a recent interview, SEGA expressed sentiments that with the amount of family friendly titles on the Wii, there is an opportunity for hardcore gaming to expand on Nintendo’s system.
“There have been some good hardcore Wii titles. Resident Evil 4 has done reasonable numbers; Red Steel has also performed really well. But since then, many publishers have migrated towards the more mass-market family titles, so perhaps there hasn’t been the array or depth of hardcore titles on Wii.” – Sega Europe North MD Alan Pritchard
“More family friendly titles are being released on PlayStation and 360 as this is a growth area for these formats. Maybe with Wii there’s a reverse opportunity.” – UK sales director John Clark
