JAKKS Adds More Namco, Atari Paddle TV Games
Thanks to Yahoo for reprinting the press release discussing JAKKS Pacific's licensing of further classic Namco arcade games for their all-in-one 'TV game' line-up. The new "lightweight, compact, all-inclusive controller... will feature the classic games Ms. Pac-Man, Galaga, Pole Position, Xevious, and Mappy", and is a follow-up to a previously featured controller which featured other classics such as Pac-Man. JAKKS has also licensed Spider-Man for a stand-alone TV game, joining the other all-in-one games licensed from Atari, Activision, and others. The official site also has a list of forthcoming games, which look to include an as yet unannounced stand-alone Atari 2600 paddle controller.
I have the atari 10-in-1 and love it. My brother got me one of the bootleg 70+ NES games in one devices for christmas and it's pretty cool, but these official releases are a lot of fun. Only complaint is that you can't play the two player modes of some of the games.
