Namco's remake of the 1997 PlayStation game, Klonoa: Road to Phantomile, is scheduled to hit Wii this spring. The title, simply re-dubbed Klonoa, is sure to please fans of the original project because it retains mostly traditional controls (it's compatible with the GCN and classic pads) along with the original's "2.5D" perspective, but has been given a full visual makeover more befitting of Wii's added horsepower. As readers will see in IGN's comparison screenshots, the title now runs in full 16:9 widescreen and has seen significant art and technical upgrades.
