Bandai Namco has filed 3 trademarks in EU today, one for Code Vein, one for Storm Wings (??) and one for PAC-Man Maker, which is the eye catching one

SO to AAMARMO for bringing this up on another thread

I dont know where I should post this but Bandai Namco has trademark PAC-MAN Maker.

Oh fuck yes please, be real.

 

[De-mon]

Nm.

 

[Zalman]

Interesting.

 

[Pinky]

Yes, please!

 

[maxcriden]

Clyde wept.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Yep yep yep I want this.

 

[Dinjoralo]

So, Worlds Biggest Pacman but they don't connect?

 

[Lifeline]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

 

[Dynomutt]

__________ Maker trend has begun. Able to share levels created? Cross platform? This could be big!

 

[TheLegendaryN]

Ehm, sure...
I don't know if I would play this, but I think it's the best franchise for Bamco to use for a Super Mario Maker-inspired game. Can't be really bothered tbh.

Spoiler

Definitely mobile.

 

[J@hranimo]

PAC-MAN Maker definitely has my interest, hope they announce this at E3.

 

[Big One]

I mean I love Pacman, but what exactly can they do in a Maker type game other than create more elaborate mazes?

 

[Jonneh3003]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

Would Bandai Namco trademark it if that were the case?

 

[DecoReturns]

Copying Nintendo/s

Sounds Cool, Would love to see other series get "Makers"

 

[Social]

I don't get it, what's the point of a pac man maker?

 

[Sgt. Kabukiman]

Wake me up when Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures Maker is announced, thank you very much.

 

[Timeaisis]

I love the shit out of Pac-Man, but have no idea how this would work. Am I making mazes or something lol?

 

[Rodney McKay]

Need to see what kind of options are available.

Hopefully it includes the ability to add stuff from all the recent PAC-MAN DX games and make some really crazy stuff.

If it's just base PAC-MAN where you get to place ghosts and fruit and draw the maze, it would be kinda boring.

 

[StrongBlackVine]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

Seems like a major reach to me.

 

[Sectorseven]

What about Ms. Pac-Man maker?

 

[Hale-XF11]

I didn't realize I wanted this so badly. Yes, please.

 

[ChrisD]

^
Everyone above this post is so excited, but I'm confused on what the point would even be.

 

[The12thGripper]

Would Bandai Namco trademark it if that were the case?

Highly unlikely this would happen but I'm pretty sure Bamco would have to trademark it themselves because they own the Pac-Man trademark.

 

[RobFox64tm]

How much could they actually do with a Pac-Man Maker though?

 

[Machina]

They better have a Championship edition skin

 

[Brian_FETO]

I mean I love Pacman, but what exactly can they do in a Maker type game other than create more elaborate mazes?

By adding crazier stuff from Championship Editions, DX, etc I assume

Would be all in on this

Wake me up when Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures Maker is announced, thank you very much.

*fires slingshot in agreement*

 

[Jonneh3003]

Nam-iibo costume. Several Namiibos will be released including Galaga and Splatterhouse.

 

[Spade]

Oh yes! Please be real.

 

[Masterspeed]

How much could they actually do with a Pac-Man Maker though?

If they have the options like Super Mario Maker, then the possibilities are endless

Spoiler

ish

 

[UnemployedVillain]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

Watch it not even come out for the Switch because Bandai Namco being Bandai Namco

 

[KojiKnight]

This needs to have a ton of options to not be DoA. There is a lot less variation you can do with pacman than you could a good 2d platformer.

 

[Eblo]

I am ok with this

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Only if I can make actual mazes. Like scrolling levels with branching paths and an end goal.

 

[Yohane]

Huge

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nam-iibo costume. Several Namiibos will be released including Galaga and Splatterhouse.

in for Splatterhouse

 

[ShiftaDeband]

This sounds so dumb, but has really great potential if done right.

 

[Off-Kilter]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

Nintendo would have filed the trademark then. This is its own thing.

I wanna play this and I'm having my fingers crossed for a Sonic Maker

 

[Numb]

This pleases me.
Immensely!

 

[levious]

Hopefully they bring back pac man vs.

Another user said Bandai Namco would have to trademark it earlier in the thread as they own the Pac-Man IP. Can anyone confirm which it is?

 

[11redder]

Finally Philips' chance to countersue, they had a maze creator option in Munchkin back in 1981.

 

[DMONKUMA]

Aye!......I can't image how they're gonna do this honestly.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Needs the ability to switch between classic pixel Pac-Man and Pac-Man Championship Edition visuals.

Bandai-Namco announcing a lot of great stuff lately. This, Code Vein, God Eater 3. Digimom Cyber Sleuth sequel...

 

[TreIII]

*SOTN_Alucard_ImInterestedInThis.wav*

If they do this right, this could be very fun indeed. Even more so if some of the more crazy things from DX and 256 get added in.

 

[KenOD]

Well until this official game comes out, we can all pass the time with the unofficial Pac-Man level maker made by a fan.

[Dusk Golem]

With the right tools available to make stages, this cold end up being something very special.

Hopefully they bring back pac man vs.

I wish, out of every Pac-Man game I've played that was my favorite, though imagine it'd be some work to port it.

 

[NastyBook]

Kaizo Pacman incoming? I'm down for that.

 

[lyrick]

It will be cheaper than taking CSc 100 I guess...

 

[Oregano]

Watch it not even come out for the Switch because Bandai Namco being Bandai Namco

We all failed the Namco Museum test.
