Pac-man is back and heading to the Wii U and the 3DS in an all new adventure. Pac-Man himself has an entirely new look and plays entirely different from the usual Pac-Man games. Well apart from the ghost and pellet chomping.
The Pac-Man world too will be entirely brand new, Pac-Man now lives in Pac-World where Pacworlders lived in peace until the mischievous Netherworld ghosts, led by their wicked leader Betrayus, escaped from their ghoulish domain to forcibly take control of Pac-World.
As well as the game, there will also be a PAC-MAN and the Ghostly Adventures animated TV show which will be showing in September here in Australia on Toasted TV. RIP Cheese TV.
The Wii U version of the game will be the 3D game you see in the trailer below, the Nintendo 3DS version will be a side scrolling version of the game.
I don’t think linking a 3d platformer to the PACMAN franchise is the best thing to do NAMCO. Perhaps a new IP is in order.
