Havenโt You Always Wanted to Put Pac-Man in a Little Hat?
Pac-Man is one of those iconic franchises that needs no introduction. We can all recognize that hungry little yellow semi-circle on sight, but can we still recognize him in an Elvis impersonator wig? Signs point to yes, but wow, is it funny. Pac-Man Mega Tunnel Battle is a Stadia timed exclusive which lets you play against up to 64 other players, invade their mazes to steal their stuff, and dress your hungry little semi-circle up in a ton of cute outfits. Even better, theyโve just announced a new DLC pack which adds a ton of new items to the game. Forget being the last Pac-Man standingโbe the snazziest Pac-Man standing.
The new DLC pack available on Stadia includes 20 Lunar New Year and Galaga-themed accessories, 10 player icons, and 2 maze themes. Not bad for its ยฃ3.99 asking price. The press release reports that the accessories include โglasses, hats, and adorable animal outfitsโ, which is honestly just the best thing. Can you imagine Pac-Man in little ram horns or little tiger ears? We sure can, and itโs so cute we could just eat him up. And in a game where the spectators can vote on power-ups, cuteness is a valid tactic. Allโs fair in love, war, and Pac-Man, we guess!
We just celebrated Pac-Manโs 40th birthday with a variety of fun crossovers, an addition to the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame, and a perfect game of Pac-Man played live on Twitch. Where will the franchise go next? We donโt know, but fingers crossed that it involves more cute costumes for Pac-Man to wear. Or, better yet, the Ghosts. Ghost dress-up minigame! When will Bandai Namco give us what we really want?
