It’s about time Pac-Man dusted off his shoes and entered the gaming arena once more. Namco Bandai has officially announced a new spin on an old franchise, and it’s coming to the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures will be based on the animated series created by Marvel Studios founder Avi Arad, and will take place in the Pac-World universe that has been usurped by the evil Netherworld ghost leader, Betrayus.
Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures will feature a revamped universe, but will still hold its origins dear to its heart by giving the player classic ghost encounters, harking back to the original and nostalgic game. The title will be available on the Wii U, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for North America, Europe and Australia, plus a side-scrolling version of the game will be released for the Nintendo 3DS – a release date is yet to be confirmed.
Aw yeah!! Pac Man will finally be getting its next big game. The series has needed this since it hasn’t had a big game since the World series a long time ago. This is one game I’ll definitely be purchasing
He still looks terrifying..
This has me slightly worried, because as much as I like 3D Pac-Man, I don’t want him in the new Smash Bros. It’s very possible that they’re bringing him back for that purpose.
Exactly what I was thinking. I’d rather have Klonoa.
I rater have both.
I’d rather have none.
They kinda have to put him in since nintendo wouldent of ever exsisted without pacman
It would be so cool if they had Ryu or Ken from Street Fighter into Super Smash Bros, lol Capcom would never let them I think or ask for to much.
I wouldn’t mind him in the next Smash, for one very particular reason;
It would mean I could beat the yellow out of him.XD
So much this ^^^^
Namco said along time ago they arent going to put any characters in that Sakurai doesnt want. Besides Lloyd Irving no other Namco Character should be in SSB.
Cless was the first Tales hero, I want him in it more than Lloyd. :B
I had hoped this would never come to Nintendo.
D’awww too bad ^^
It’s really sad to see a innovative (for the time) retro game be turned into some generic knock-off game. Betrayus? Really?
yea, maybe he should just die in peace (you dont want him to end up like sonic)
Sonic Racing Transformed says hello! 💋
A new PAC Man World? Fuck yeah! As long as he has some new abilities that are great as the PMW3 ones were.
Meh. I suppose the more big names that come to the Wiiu , the merrier.
Shut up hippter.:P
What you saying punk ? ;) .
Looks ugly, terrible character models, ripped mechanics from Galaxy…I fear the wors, and I’m a huge Pacman fan, t’was the first videogame I ever played in the 80’s. I’d rather have a version of DX on either Wii U or 3DS, unfortunately Namco gave us some crappy standard version of CE bundled with some other Pacman crap on 3DS.
The shoulda done a new Pac-Man racing game… Or maybe a 3D version of the origional Pac-Man where you run around on the big screen like a real 3D game and you get the top view of the whole field on the game pad so you can avoid the ghosts! 💋
Klonoa please.
at least the music sounds nice if anything
This looks awful.
On a side note, i dont think Pac-Man is just a bad idea for Smash, i just think this game look terrible (i mean come on, Smash has Ice Climbers, Pac-Man is hardly a terrible idea)
Honestly, DX was a great game, and it’s costs barely anything.
That’s seems like a better place for Pac-Man to exist.
This. Tales wasn’t really that huge or even had a great history with Nintendo anyway.
Ice Climbers are awesome in Smash!! One of my fav top 5!!! 1. Zelda 2.Jigglypuff 3.Diddy Kong 4.Ice Climbers 5.Olimar. Kisses! 💋
cool I hope it’ll be like pac-man world 2
Him having his own game makes me think that he’s an even bigger candidate for smash
Well he has had MANY of his own games. He is a classic character. 💋
PacMan and Megaman should be in the next Smash Bros.
You just read my mind, sir.
But Mega Man is a corpse?
Or so Shitbag Svensson said so.
this is what nintendorks can look forward to
Sorry but why the fuck do you spend your time posting on a nintendo based news website if you couldn’t give a flying shit about anything on here? Piss off.
why do you spend time playing shitendo games?
Go away.
Whereas you’ll be looking forward to another failed rendition of PS All-Stars.
Have fun with that, hypocrite.
Funny since it’s coming to Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 aswell.
This generation of gamers logic (not all of them)
A) “What the fuck is this!!! this is so kiddy… no blood or weapons !!! I want to shoot!!!! this game sucks!!!!
B) “This game suck!! is too hard for me!! I die too much!!! I dont buy games just to die… i love to play in easy mode.
I don’t know what that has to with this shitty looking game.
I don’t like how this game looks … :(
Ahem :/…….Well, it seems to be a 3d platformer, which are very rare these days, thats good. But the art style is horrible, clean and seems to be created without love….the sound effects are bad, the characters look bad and it seems way too easy…I guess that pretty much covered it.
looks crap
Well, this takes the probability of Pacman being in Smash bros into a whole new level.
The game feels……..empty.
That’s the feeling I get from the video.
It’s like, you can see all of this huge open space in the backgrounds and stuff, but there’s very little actually going on in them in terms of environmental elements. Just a huge, open city that you probably won’t be able to fully explore and platforms here and there.
I’d like to see Namco make this game as interesting as Banjo-Kazooie once was.
Add more collectibles, abilities, and some unlockables alongside an amusing storyline.
Am I the only one he is excited about this?
I’ve been wanting to see a new Pacman game since World :3
It’s awesome that he’s getting a new game, but his redesign really bugs me……
Why the hell is he a kid??? The clues in the name………………
Meh. I dont think Pacman should have ever got a face, arms, and legs lol.
hehe agreed
Namco Bandai on board the Wii U is the most important aspect of this PAC man announcement. All major developers are on board, east and west, trolls recognize :).
You’re right! This could mean that the next DBZ game might be on the Wii U too.
This is nonsense. Make it for PS3 give him a Harley, a cigar to chomp on, a grenade belt, handguns, machine guns and lasers. Throw in a couple of QTE sex scenes and voila. Mature PACMAN-Sony fanboy.
Yes! This probably means he is in Smash Bros!!! On the other hand… This game looks kinda sucky. Well what do I know. The game is clearly for kids and I’m not a kid so I guess I can’t judge. 💋
silvershadowfly, Do you shave your gash?
……………….seriously?
A lot of these modern Pac-Man games looks interesting, but I’ve never played any more than just a few minutes of some of them. Are any of them really good games from beginning to end? I always wondered. Even with some of them on the SNES, I’ve wondered about.
This really does not look special at all. Pac Man has never been good outside the original arcade game.
I must be the only excited for this game. I will more than likely get it.
holy shit, this looks awful. i love how in the trailer they show so many shots of pacman with the chomping noise, but he misses his targets half the time. not really the best way to promo your game.
i will not be soiling my 3ds with this game.
Is he a cat or are those his eye brows?
