Acclaimed platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile is being remade for Wii, and it looks significantly better than the PlayStation original.

From a rich color palette to beautiful water effects, it should come as no surprise the Wii version of Klonoa is prettier than its decade-old PSone counterpart, but Wii devotees can understand prior concern.

Klonoa: Door to Phantomile originally released for the PlayStation in 1998. Namco Bandai announced the “Wiimake” earlier this month. It will be released Dec. 4 in Japan for the modest price of 4800 yen.

There has been no announcement of a North American release.
