Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

"Now don't get me wrong...I love me some Klonoa. It's right up there with Pandemonium on my list of 2.5D rail platformers. I just don't remember any moments from the original game that made me and anyone else watching simultaneously lean backwards, and I would have remembered something like that."

From the Nintendo Fall Press Conference last night, there are new screenshots for Namco Bandai's upcoming remake, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, which is set to hit the Wii on December 4th. It will feature upgraded visuals similar to that of Klonoa 2 and will have NES-style controls.
