Just wanted to share some pics I took at the Pac-man 30th anniv party at Club Nokia during E3. It was a 'decent' turn out. Met up with Paul Dean and got to play Pac-Man Royal. We thought it was a cool game and definetly will get one once the price drops. They also had two 30th anniv Pac-Man machines calles "Pac-Man's Arcade Party". Included other Namco games. I took some video but have to edit them and will upload them later. For now, enjoy the pics...

Pac-Man Battle Royale

Are they actually going to sell "Pac-Man Battle Royale" cabinets? All I can find out is that it's coming out in September.
 
Steve, how did you get into the party last night? You getting into any parties tonight? Here is some vid of the Pac Man Battle Royale on the E3 floor we took this morning.

Also, have to tell everyone that is into the consoles/handhelds the Nintendo 3DS was freaking amazing. After playing a 3D Jet Pack stage from Pilot Wings Resort I was sold. The 3D affect was amazing. They had tons of other playable demos and non-playable demos as well - Kid Icarus, Animal Crossing, Star Fox 3D, Ridge Racer 3D, etc.

I will def be standing in line for one of these when they come out!

Yeah, why weren't we invited!? Fucker! ;)

I went to E3 today...no way I was gonna stand in line to play the 3DS ...2 hrs, screw that. A Nintendo dude was walking around w/ one and I got to peek at it. It's definitely slick. I foresee Wii-esque shortages due to demand.
 
HAHA!! Rob from Coin-Op.TV got me in. I didnt go to any other parties. The Nintendo 3DS does look way rad. I read somewhere a few classics are going to show on it. Cant wait for that. The Pac-Man Battle Royale cabs are going to be released in September.

I uploaded some videos on youtube. I still have more to edit and upload later. Check these out...

Looks like I'm punching myself in the face lol
 
Thanks for sharing the footage of Pac-man Battle Royale.

...but where's the frikkin footage of the 3DS!? I watched the entire Nintendo press conference, then watched their e3.nintendo.com exclusive follow-up coverage which was supposed to have actual footage of the 3DS, which it didn't. Is it really impossible to convey at all what the thing is like with video? I find it hard to believe. I was very disappointed about the way they went about it for us home viewers.

Anyway, long live the arcade, glad to see a new Pac-man game coming to arcades and not just consoles.
