Kaze no Klonoa © 1997 NAMCO, Ltd.
Namco return to your screens this year with a platform action game set in a stunning 3D world.
Kaze no Klonoa sees our hero, Klonoa, traverse a number of varied lands in an attempt to rescue Lephise from the evil Ghadius, banished from the world of the living and imprisoned in a frozen state 3 000 years ago. Well, yes you've guessed it, he's back - and is he annoyed! Using his powers to manipulate space and his total control over the World of Darkness, Ghadius will stop at nothing until he has revenge on those who banished him!
In this classic tale of good versus evil you play the hero Klonoa whose huge ears enable him to glide long distances, and whose magical ring can inflate Ghadius' minions. Fight your way through six varied lands on your way to the final showdown with Ghadius - the Lord of the Underworld.
