'Klonoa: Door to Phantomille' localized

Namco Bandai has recently confirmed that their "Wii-make" of the PS1 title 'Klonoa: Door to Phantomille' will be coming to North America simply under the name 'Klonoa'. A release date wasn't announced, but they said it will be included in their 2009 line-up.

'Klonoa' will feature updated graphics, a boss rush mode, and reverse stages.

Below are some comparison screens between the PS1 and Wii versions:

Looks kind of like kindom hearts no?

 

[Noitora]

Woah, amesome!
I really didn't expect it to reach NA.

 

[Pikachu025]

Awesome!

I loved this series on the GBA.

Didn't realise it was on any other platforms until last month when I picked up the PS2 one on Amazon, glad to hear they're still making them. (okay so I don't own a Wii, but what the hey)

 

[The Teej]

Oooh!! I've heard good things about this series, so I may have to pick this up. I never owned a Playstation 1, so giving some of these classics a current gen remake is fine by me

 

[MisterOhm]

...I just bought the Japanese import.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Wewt, I loved playing 1+2 on my PS2. Graphics don't look like they have that sexy shading Klonoa 2 has :{

 

[wilddenim]

I loved the Playstation One game! And loved the GBA series too. Glad to see a remake for Wii. I, for one, will be certainly playing the game when it comes out.

I always knew it would come to NA because I just knew! I can't wait. They are going for Klonoa 2 too in the work and guess what ? The next sequel.. yes, the 3rd. They are reconsider about it in Japain.

 

[rashef]

Wow, it looks awesome, and it's a game/series i've still yet to play...
I hope it'll reach Europe ...

 

[jalaneme]

looking forward to it, i played the ps2 Klonoa on a demo and that's about it, it never really sucked me in, will give this a go when it's released though.

 

[Upperleft]

Yaaaay~ Klonoa =D
oh THANKS GOODNESS they didn't choose the "American" Klonoa ..thing :|

 

[Extreme Coder]

As soon as I saw this, I remembered Upperleft and his avatar

I love Klonoa as well, here's hoping they don't mess this remake up.

I hope this doesn't fare as badly as the Nights game.
