Ground-up remake of the PlayStation classic to hit Nintendo console
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=16901

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.

Is there a good chance it'll come stateside?

Who knows with Namco...They have the most bogus localization strategy on any publisher in existence... =\

I'm looking forward to this, this is supposed to be a great game.

<3 Klonoa. I will smack them if they don't localize it.

I really hope this gets localized. I've heard nothing but great things about it.

Eh, I felt like all I was doing was bitching about Nintendo and modern gaming in general so I decided I should just leave for a while.

if anyone is interested Namco sent me a Klonoa Survey via email. If you want to check it out here is a link http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=2qr8HR0wgsGpd4_2f0Yk6kFQ_3d_3d

I went through a few parts and it seems like it is a lot about the character design......hat or no? floppy ears or no? YOU DECIDE, lol.

This is quite possibly one of the stupidest things Namco has done in the past, uh, week...

Why can't they just LEAVE HIM AS HE IS?

Klonoa confirmed in Soul Calibur 5

So the good news is Namco is actually thinking about localizing this game. The bad news is, they want to give him a lame Poochie style extreme makeover for America.

Oh well, as long as the actual game makes it over here I'll be happy. As long as any changes are only cosmetic I'm fine, but if they start messing with the gameplay itself, then RAAAAGGEEEEE.

good gawd

don't splash water on it, and don't feed it after midnight.

Might as well change it to Wall Man or Shadow the Hedgehog.

Those ears aren't hands.

Konoa: Door to the Pheromone

The new one looks like a Ratchet clone.

I told them to use the guy on the left.

What are you referring to by "Poochie style?"

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #21 on:** October 31, 2008, 04:09:44 PM »

A character in The Simpsons (more specifically, a focus-group character created for The Itchy & Scratchy Show in hopes of increasing the show's popularity)...Everyone hated him... ='D

KDR_11k · « **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2008, 05:35:09 PM »

How is he going to fly without floppy ears?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #23 on:** October 31, 2008, 07:14:17 PM »

A star-powered jet pack.

WuTangTurtle · « **Reply #24 on:** October 31, 2008, 07:38:52 PM »
