Pac-Man to possibly return to TV

pacmantvshow

Namco-Bandai is pitching the idea of releasing a 3DTV version of a new Pac-Man animated series. A short teaser was shown at E3 earlier this week.

In this iteration of the series, Pac-Man is a high-school student who must save his world from the threat of ghosts. But, the four ghosts you’d expect him to be saving the world from are actually on his side. Pinky, Inky, Blinky and Clyde will be helping Pac-Man in his mission this time.

For now, nothing is set in stone. Avi Arad, executive advisor at Namco-Bandai as stated that he has yet to approach any studios or potential partners yet.

Hori release Street Fighter IV-based Arcade Stick

Hori will release their Real Arcade Pro Premium VLX series of home arcade sticks at the end of this March for PS3 and XBOX 360 for a modest ¥30,000 (£215).

This kit is modelled after the Vewlix arcade cabinet, which is used for Street Fighter IV machines. It uses authentic Sanwa parts and can even be opened for maintenance, just like the real machine. Adding to the authenticity is its size, measuring in at almost 60cm in length!

For those who don’t live in Japan, you can get yours from Play-Asia who will soon be taking pre-orders for both console versions.
