Klonoa And Splatterhouse Could Be Coming Back

Bandai Namco is right behind Nintendo and Sega when it comes to milking ’90s Nostalgia. Though a significant amount of active gamers were naught but infants at the time, various companies have all seen massive amounts of success trotting out their old eight and sixteen-bit titles for modern hardware. That’s not to say that they don’t have a hand in the development of excellent modern titles—they’ve published recent hits like The Dark Pictures: Man of Medan, Code Vein, and the Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch remaster....

It’s quite the visual overhaul à la Ocarina of Time 3D, but it doesn’t go to the extremes that Majora’s Mask 3D went to in order to change up the game. It’s very similar to the Game Boy original. But it’s not 1:1, and Link’s Awakening’s remake is almost deceptive when it comes to its differences....
