Namco Generations Will Update The Classics
Namco Bandai announced today a new internal brand that will focus on reinventing classic arcade franchises like Pac-Man and Galaga.
Some of the finest arcade-style experiences on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network have emerged from Namco Bandai, as the company has attempted to reinvigorate older properties through games like Galaga Legions and Pac-Man Championship Edition.
The publisher revealed today plans to continue the trend under a new name. Namco Generations will be the new brand through which Namco Bandai will continue to release classic arcade updates.
The first entry under the new brand identity, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, releases this Wednesday, November 17th on XBLA, and November 23rd for PSN. Galaga Legions DX and Aero-Cross (based on 1985's Metro-Cross) are also in line to appear in the coming months.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
