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. :)

Namco Bandai’s Klonoa, the Wii remake of the 1997 PlayStation game Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, is a game from a simpler time, when “platformers” involved actual side-scrolling platform-to-platform jumping as their core mechanic. More »
Namco Bandai’s remake of Klonoa refreshingly stands out against many of its Wii peers, from a box art standpoint alone. It’s shockingly understated, with little more than protagonists Klonoa and Hewpoe clearly happy to represent. More »

Namco Bandai may be updating the look of its mascot Klonoa in advance of a North American release of the Wii-make Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. An online survey forwarded to us by a few readers suggests that Namco Bandai may be looking to transform the furry hero from floppy-eared whatever the hell he is to something more identifiable, more cat-like… or is that bat-like?
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.
