They are the most familiar ones, after all, and similar enough to each other to create a unified whole. Ideally this collection should have included the handheld games in the franchise, especially since most of them were never released outside of Japan in the 2000s, but it's understandable that the focus is on the two mainline titles.

Considering how Klonoa 2 has been locked to PlayStation 2 ever since its initial release in 2001 (which of course makes the game even more expensive on the second-hand market), this re-release will most likely be welcomed among fans wanting to revisit the series. This makes the release of Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series even more special to fans, where Bandai Namco is now re-releasing Klonoa: Door to Phantomille and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil to celebrate Klonoa's 25th anniversary. The last game released in the Klonoa franchise was the 2008 Wii remake of the first game, which was almost 15 years ago. The platforming series from Namco (or Bandai Namco Entertainment as they are known as today) offered plenty of charm and surprisingly good gameplay mechanics, but Klonoa only received two main titles and some handheld spin-offs before things went quiet.
