‘Pac-Man Championship Edition DX’ Released with MFi Controller Support

It really doesn’t get much more classic than Pac Man. The original retro Pac-Man has been available on iOS for a long time, but for those of us looking for something a little more modern, Namco Bandai has us covered with their new DX Championship Edition of the arcade classic.

Truth be told, the Championship Edition of Pac-Man has been available on iOS for some time. The only problem is, it hasn’t been updated since 2012. That’s before modern niceties like widescreen, game controller support, and high resolution became the norm.

So in a way, this DX edition can be thought of as a paid upgrade. Considering the original arcade version of Pac-Man was entirely based around micro-transactions and consumable lives, the $4.99 premium price Namco Bandai is asking for isn’t bad at all, and arcade game fans would be crazy not to jump on it.
