Please tell me you played the PlayStation 2.5D platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile. If you didn't, you missed a weird and fantastic 1997 classic, which featured a long eared flying cat-rabbit thing that wore a ballcap with Pac-Man on it. Uhh... it's better than I just made it sound.
If you missed it in the past, you'll get another chance when the title ships for the Wii. Namco Bandai just announced a full remake, with upgraded graphics promised. Japan will get the title on December 4th; 1UP says that no US release date has been announced.
The good news is that this platformer has not been wagglized. The title will be playable with a sideways Wii Remote and the two action buttons or with the Wii Classic controller.

That's what LOZ:TP is for. *nudge nudge wink wink*
by cry i mean tears running down my cheeks drippy nose..the works
damn that ending
I'm glad to see Namco hasn't abandoned this great series.
I think this might be the first title I ever import. God damn, I am absolutely in love with Klonoa: Door to Phantomphile, and Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil.
Wanted to play the Playstation ones, never owned any of their consoles, was hoping they'd revive the series somehow.
