Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today that "PAC’N ROLL(TM)" has shipped to North American retail outlets. "PAC’N ROLL" combines the pellet-chomping action and Ghost-busting madness of classic Pac-Man with an innovative touch screen control system. Developed exclusively for the Nintendo DS(TM), PAC’N ROLL also includes the original "Pac-Man" for a truly classic arcade game experience.
“'PAC’N ROLL' makes full use of the Nintendo DS’s capabilities, while retaining the very essence and qualities of Pac-Man that made him the cultural icon he is today,” said Yoshi Niki, Business Unit Director at Namco Hometek Inc. “Now players can experience Pac-Man like never before through an intuitive touch screen control scheme and an original adventure set in a colorful 3D world.”
In his latest role, Pac-Man must rescue his friends when Pac-Land is magically transformed into Ghost-Land and all the inhabitants have been turned into spheres by the rock’n rolling Ghost Golvis. With fluid track-ball-like controls using the Nintendo DS touch screen, and a host of ability boosting power-up items, players can roll into action against all the obstacles and Ghosts packed into the stages of multiple worlds. Players can dash, dodge, and turn on a dime as they guide Pac-Man on his pellet collecting journey to save Pac-Land.
"PAC’N ROLL" is rated E for Everyone by the ESRB.
