“One thing we’d like to do is – if this game is well received – think about releasing Klonoa 2 [on Wii] followed up by a sequel after that so that players could see the entire series. We feel very proud of Klonoa. We feel that the gameplay is both unique and solid. And we’d like as many players to experience that as possible. We think it’s got a unique story and we hope that a new generation of players will play through to the end and enjoy it just as much as the fans did 10 years ago.” – Hideo Yoshizawa, Klonoa director

I actually never played the first Klonoa game, but I’m heavily interested in playing it on Wii. I’d be especially happy to see more Klonoa games on Wii, but as Mr. Yoshizawa mentions, the first game needs to be well received. Make sure you guys buy the game when it releases!

Capcom’s Kenji Inafune recently discussed titles developed by Clover Studios. Though Clover no longer exists, Capcom would still be able to create more titles for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand. Inafune, however, has expressed zero interest in creating any new games for Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and God Hand, stating that “it’s not very likely or appealing.”

“At this time, we have no plans of making sequels to any of those properties. I can’t say we won’t, for certain, but it’s not very likely or appealing. If we had no other properties to depend on for making new games, we might be desperate enough to create sequels to those titles, but that’s not the case. We have a lot of titles that we want to make and other sequels that are waiting to be made. So, there’s no interest at the moment.”

On the bright side, Inafune seems more open to creating a sequel to Mega Man 9.

“This title has been revived based on our users’ feedback. They indicated that they wanted to see it again, so if we can continue to find ways to involve users and use their feedback to evolve the game, I think we can go on to continue to make MM10, MM11, and so on. The main point is how and if we can continue to incorporate user feedback into the creation of the game.”


Sparse details regarding an apparent Wii-exclusive game have been found. A “Commander Video” for the title was discovered which features a creepy set up and doesn’t seem to make much sense. Evidently, this “game” is coming out in 2009 and the video does show a frame from the game.

Basically, this whole situation is rather confusing and doesn’t explain much. IGN seems to think that this is indeed a real game, but close to nothing can be deciphered from the video above and from the small details that have been reported. We’ll have to wait and see whether this game is actually real, but if it is, is does look somewhat intriguing to say the least.
