Namco confirms Klonoa coming to North America
And it's doing away with that pesky subtitle Door to Phantomile. Yes, Namco's remake of the classic PSOne game will release in North America, as reported earlier, and will simply be titled Klonoa. Should be easy enough to remember.All we have to go on right now is a 2009 release window. Namco hasn't specified an exact date within the year, but, hey, it's 2009 right now. Let's hope we get it sooner rather than later.See also: Born for Wii: Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil%Gallery-33429%[Via press release]
Klonoa: Door to Awesome Video
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile has been a big blip on our radar ever since it was revealed. To see the changes that Namco made to the original game, it almost looks like something completely brand new. But, thankfully, the gameplay is relatively unchanged, allowing the new Wii port to retain the spirit of the original title. In the video above, you'll see mostly gameplay, along with a brief cutscene. Let your eyes feast on the visual buffet above. Then, hop into the comments and tell us how awesome you think it looks.%Gallery-33429%[Via Go Nintendo]
Namco thinks Wii is ripe for Klonoa remake
A new Klonoa game from Namco Bandai, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, is being developed for Wii, according to the latest issue of Famitsu magazine. It's a remake of the first Klonoa game on the PSOne, which also happens to be called Klonoa: Door to Phantomile (you can read up on it at Wikipedia here). The presentation, as you can see above, is cel-shaded, bright and colorful, maintaining the look of the franchise. We like it, to be honest. And, as is custom with the Klonoa games, expect this title to have plenty of platforming segments to go through.Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is scheduled for a December 4th release in Japan.
