PlayStation game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile was recently re-rated by the ESRB for the PlayStation 3 and PSP. That means the 1998 original is a very likely candidate for a digital PSone Classics re-release. :)
The Wii may see some taunting remarks from the more graphically inclined wiseacres populating the gaming landscape, but the remake of the original Klonoa for the PlayStation proves that we’ve come a long way, baby. Klonoa: Door To Phantomile looks thankfully (and logically) much much better than its PSone counterpart by a country mile.
Klonoa: Door To Phantomile, in its PlayStation incarnation, is now almost 11-years old. In its remake journey to the Wii, it’s been surprisingly unfucked with. There’s no waggle gimmick — at least not in the portions of the Tokyo Game Show demo we played this week — with the only major change being a serious step up in graphical fidelity. It’s a fantastic looking Wii game, looking better than the proper PlayStation 2 sequel, Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil, but dropping that game’s cel-shaded look.
