XBLA: Reawakening The Sleeping Giant: The Pac-Man CE Interview

pacceint.jpgGamasutra's features editor Christian Nutt has been able to track down Nobutaka Nakajima and Tadashi Iguch - the minds behind 2007's Xbox Live Arcade hit Pac-Man: Championship Edition and Namco's other revival Galaga Legions.

Pac-Man CE was a big surprise for a lot of people - for me it was the game that made me pay attention to the Xbox Live Arcade and put me where I am now. Nutt's interview delves into how everything began - the resurrection of a gaming icon into the new century, making it fun for those who never truly experienced the Pac Fever.

They also discuss Galaga Legions, and how despite the similar resurrection sentiment it went through a completely different development cycle. Apparently there are a lot of fans of Gaplus out there.

Check out this insightful interview below.
