I swear, if not for PacMan CE, I'd give the fuck up on them.

So, there's a survey going around where Namco's asking opinions on this new version of Klonoa, which looks like Aero the Acrobat was raped by some were-furry Sora. In case you're wondering, personality hopped on a bus to Toledo a few weeks ago.

No word on how much on-disc content will need to be unlocked through micro-transactions yet, though.

he looks like a Tales of character.

Oh wow, they're remaking Door to Phantomile for the Wii. That's pretty cool.

I was reading the comments of the article Chao posted and someone said they liked the new design. I wanted to hurt this individual.

I like the Klonoa 2 design better than either of those, personally.

Oh God, his ears are different. The horror

I was asked to participate and decided to go with the old style.

I just don't understand why you would change a mascot character.

You take that garbage back!

Old style is cool enough.

Yeah, besides little proportional differences, they just took off his hat and changed his ears. I guess I like the new design, he seems more sporty and less like a Disney character, but I never played the games. I thought he used his ears as hands or something and I don't see how they could maintain that element of the character the way his ears are now.

I'm more of a fan of Klonoa 2's design myself.

Klonoa uses his ears to float or flutter, so the new design still makes sense in that regard.
