Ground-up remake of the PlayStation classic to hit Nintendo console
Namco Bandai revealed through a recent Famitsu article, that they are working on a remake of the original PlayStation version of Klonoa for Wii. Fans of the original may find the levels familiar, but the game's graphical presentation is being overhauled featuring stylistic cel-shaded graphics.
Controls are being kept simple with no plans currently to use any motion-based gestures or pointing. The game will control using the Wii Remote in its sideways position, with the 1 button used to throw enemies and the 2 button to jump.
The game will also feature a four player multiplayer mode, but no details have been announced about this mode yet.
Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is scheduled for a December 4th release in Japan.
