It seems some fan-favorite Bandai Namco franchises may be about to make a comeback. Japanese Twitter user @Piercesword discovered the publisher has filed trademarks for Klonoa Encore, Mr. Driller Encore, and Splatter House Encore. A couple series that have never left Japan, Wagan Land and Genpei Toma Den, have also received new “Encore” trademarks.

So, what might these “Encore” games entail? Well, last year’s Katamari Damacy Reroll, an HD remaster of the original game, was sold as Katamari Damacy Encore in Japan. So, it seems likely these other Encore titles will receive the same treatment, but which specific titles are going to be remastered? There was a pretty solid remake of the original Klonoa on the Wii, so I bet that gets an HD update, but what about something like Splatter House? There was a lousy 2010 version of Splatter House, which I doubt they’ll revive, but all the rest of the games in series were from the 80s and 90s. A little old for a straight remaster. Could this Encore series include some full remakes?
