Crash Bandicoot: Warped | Friday, 11.03.2023

On this day in gaming, Crash Bandicoot: Warped was released on this date exactly 25 years ago on the original PlayStation console! Produced by both Sony Computer Entertainment and Universal Interactive Studios and developed by Naughty Dog, the 3rd game in the series introduces time travel to the game's plot, with the addition of playing as Crash's sister, Coco for the very first time. Not to mention that the game itself received critical acclaim for its solid improvements on its audio, gameplay, and graphics compared to the previous two predecessors.

P.S.: although Warped received several new sequels after it came out over the years, it was directly followed by Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time in 2020 as the official (and canon) sequel.

Klonoa (Original Game) | Friday, 03.10.2023

Remember when the original Klonoa (known as "Klonoa: Door to Phantomile") video game was released by Namco in North America on this day (exactly 25 years ago)? Since then, it has gained itself an underrated franchise bringing in more successive games (like the 2001 release of Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil on PS2), a re-release on PlayStation Network (PS3, PSP, and PS Vita), and has been remastered twice on Wii (2009) and modern consoles for Klonoa Phantasy Reverie Series (2022).
