Pac-Man Party 3D gobbling ghosts and popping pills on the 3DS in Europe for the first time

Pac-Man launched himself into the world of 3D party gaming on the Nintendo 3DS today, as Namco's Pac-Man Party 3D got the party started at retailers across Europe.

In Pac-Man Party players can jump into over 50 crazy mini-games, challenges and surprises with up to three friends and compete to see who's got the best fiesta flair. Time-based challenges include racing, eating, or even rolling a giant ball of spaghetti, with every game designed to give players' skill and reflexes a real party workout.

The action uses all the functionality of the Nintendo 3DS including the motion sensor, gyro sensor, 3D Screen, Touch Screen controls and more to deliver frantic action for all the family. With modes including Story, Mini-Game, Party and Collection, plus the original arcade versions of Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig-Dug as a special bonus, there's more than enough party fun for anyone.
