Bandai Namco <strong>struggled with a 2019 lawsuit<\/strong> from AtGames who currently holds the license for Ms Pacman. AtGames makes arcade cabinets and mini consoles, and the yellow munching hero is one of its top gaming characters. Bandai Namco is already in trouble for using her in a previous title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you watch the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=m88oPZTx7rI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"trailer for Pac-Man World Re-Pac\">trailer for Pac-Man World Re-Pac<\/a> below<\/strong>, the scenes showing Pac-Mom should have had Ms Pac-Man instead.

If you read my <a href=\"https:\/\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-shredders-revenge.en.softonic.com\/articles\/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-shredders-revenge-review\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder\u2019s Revenge<\/a> review yesterday, you\u2019ll know I\u2019m a nostalgic gamer. Pac-Man was one of the titles I often played on my Atari console in the early 90s. Of course, the games have changed from top-down 2D to a completely <strong>3D environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pac-Man World Re-Pac will set you off in <strong>different worlds<\/strong> where you need to collect items and defeat monsters along the way. As you can tell from the trailer, the main objective is to save your family. It looks like it should be a whole lot of fun to play, so here\u2019s hoping I can grab a copy upon release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For other Pac-Man news, the small yellow hero was recently spotted in Fortnite as part of the store packs, mostly as bling. However, with the new Call of Duty season upon us, I\u2019ve shifted most of my attention there, while still trying to find some time for <a href=\"https:\/\/fishing-planet.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Fishing Planet\">Fishing Planet<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/the-elder-scrolls-online.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" title=\"Elder Scrolls Online\">Elder Scrolls Online<\/a>: The High Isles chapter.
