Pac-Man Back At E3, Courtesy Miyamoto?

Posted by simoniker on from the chain-smoking-blinky dept.

Daetrin writes "IGN.com is reporting that Shigeru Miyamoto and Nintendo will be showing a new Pac-Man game at E3, developed with (some) help from original Pac-Man creators Namco. It seems to have a very interesting method of utilizing the connectivity between the GBA and the Gamecube. In one of the modes, one player controls Pac-Man using a connected GBA, which shows the traditional top-down view of the maze. The other players use normal Gamecube controllers to control the ghosts, and see a 3D view from inside the maze on the TV screen, which can be split up to three ways for the three player-controlled ghosts." That crazy banjo-playing Miyamoto chap strikes again, eh?

    And now I (im)patiently await monday's obligatory Penny Arcade cartoon about this as Gabe is a little nuts about the little yellow dart there.
