Namco Bandai isn’t grabbing the PlayStation 2 Klonoa game and slapping motion control on it. This Klonoa remake is based on the PsOne game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. The original is being upgraded on the Wii with cel-shaded graphics and no waggle. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile uses a classic controller scheme where the remote is held like an NES pad and the 2 button makes Klonoa jump. The other addition is a more elusive. Klonoa: Door to Phantomile supports 1-4 players which probably means motion controlled mini-games. We should find out what they are soon since Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is scheduled to come out in Japan on December 4 for a reasonable price of 4,800 yen ($43). Since the game is coming out soon I hope Namco Bandai surprises us with a playable build next week at Tokyo Game Show.
