Over 30 years ago two of the greatest video games of all time were created – Pac-Man and Galaga.  Both got it right the first time around and improving upon them has been a challenge!

Ms. Pac-Man trumped the original Pac-Man in fun and Galaga was a major improvement over Galaxian.  Fans of these two have seen a handful of games using the license and names that were worth buying like Pac-Man Championship Edition but mostly the remakes and sequels are just cashing in on the property’s fanbase.  This time around Namco Games offers up the 3D experience (without glasses) on the Nintendo 3DS.

From their media kit — Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions 3DS players will use the gyro sensor in the Nintendo 3DS system to take the role of a space ship pilot.  Maneuver the Nintendo 3DS system in real-time to blast away the Galaga threat. PAC-MAN & Galaga DIMENSIONS also features PAC-MAN Tilt, a brand new side-scrolling PAC-MAN adventure.  Players use the 3DS system’s motion sensor to tilt PAC-MAN’s world and use the surrounding environment to help him escape puzzles and defeat enemies.  Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions 3DS comes out 7/26/11.
