Because Pac-Man and Basketball Always Go Hand-In-Hand
The 40th anniversary of
Pac-Man is an incredible milestone and everyone is celebrating it in different ways. Pac-Man has showed in up in Minecraft and joined the Comic-Con Museum Character Hall of Fame. Pro players are celebrating by live streaming perfect playthroughs of the original game. And now, Bandai Namco has announced an unexpected crossover between their classic video game and the very real sport of basketball. That’s right, they’re going to collaborate with the National Basketball Association (NBA) on a myriad of NBA-themed video game integrations and various co-branded PAC-MAN and NBA licensed products. Is this the real life? Is it just fantasy? It sure doesn’t feel real. Someone pinch us.
