Klonoa for Nintendo Wii heading to Europe this year

It has been confirmed today that platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile will be released onto the Nintendo Wii in Europe later this year.

The game is being made by Namco Bandai and is a remake of the 1997 Playstation classic of the same name. As reported from Eurogamer, the Wii version will feature updated visuals, wii-mote functionality and all-new secrets.

It gives gamers a chance to step back in time and experience those 2.5D platformers that most of us grew to love. The game is currently out in Japan, but no solid release date has been confirmed for Europe other than a July/August timeframe. We’ll keep EU fans up to date.
