Bandai Namco Raids Its Vaults In HD Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Dig Dug Ports
Bandai Namco is releasing new HD versions of Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug next week, in case you're on a mission to have these games on absolutely every gaming device that you own.
The updates include HD bezel art, leaderboard and trophies, and the same gameplay you experienced decades ago. They're coming April 20, either individually or in a three-game bundle that includes Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug. Ms. Pac-Man curiously has to sit that one out.
We've reached out to Bandai Namco about pricing, and we'll update the story if we get additional details.
Update: Bandai Namco says the games are priced individually at $3.99. The bundle of three games (absent Ms. Pac-Man) is $7.99. All four games are coming PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam.

Our Take
I've bought these games in a number of different variations and bundles throughout the years. I think I'm good now, especially since these ports don't appear to add anything of any value.
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.
