Klonoa price slashed in UK, before release

by Xav de Matos on May 18th 2009 4:15PM

Critical darling (and Wiimake) Klonoa has seen a UK price cut, prior to even being released to stores. The upcoming Nintendo Wii title is scheduled to release on May 22, but multiple retailers have cut the RRP nearly in half. Play.com UK is offering the PS1 remake for £14.99 while Amazon.co.uk is selling the title for £17.99. The suggested retail price is listed as £24.99.

If the price slash continues after release, Klonoa could be one of the fastest cuts we've ever seen to to a Namco title. Unless you count the cut to our hearts when Star Wars characters were unceremoniously introduced into the world of Soul Calibur. Which we do.

Yeah, I noticed the Play price cut.

I want to give this a right go, but I don't want to get burned by another overly simplistic platformer.*

*gives Stafy 4 a hard stare.

Seems to be a good game, I'm just left to wonder:

*Why* a rabbit/cat combination? Just ... just why?

Actually, he's just a long-eared cat.

It;s an amazing game,some reviews have bashed it giving it a lower score for simply being a remake. Some reason that does not affect remakes of some games on HD systems.

I never had the chance to play the original PS1 game so it's fresh and new to me.
Also don't forget Amazon is notorious for making price cuts before release quite often.

It's a budget game and while short it's worth every penny and thensome.
