Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions announced

Namco 3DS twofer reboots retro classics.

Two-for-one retro bundle Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions is on its way to 3DS, publisher Namco Bandai has announced.

The double pack will include two separate games. Pac-Man Tilt ditches the classic top-down pill-guzzling gameplay of old in favour of motion-controlled 2D platforming. You'll be wobbling the 3DS about to guide the titular hero to the end of various puzzle-strewn levels, with the help of pinball flippers and springboards.

Galaga 3D Impact sounds a little more punchy. It's a 3D on-rails shooter in which you'll have to use the handheld's gyroscope to maneuver your perspective and blast invading alien bugs out of the sky.

Namco hasn't pinned down a firm release date for the game yet, but it will be on shelves at some point in 2011.
