Pac-Man in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS

Pac-Man is joining the Super Smash Bros. series for the first time through the upcoming Wii U and 3DS games. However, it turns out that the classic character could have been included in the previous entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Masahiro Sakurai wrote in the latest issue of Famitsu that Pac-Man was a possibility for Brawl courtesy of a suggestion from Shigeru Miyamoto:

“During development of Smash Bros. Brawl, Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto of Nintendo approached me and asked, ‘Can’t we have Pac-Man as a guest character?’ At the time, imagining the image of Pac-Man and his incomplete pizza shape, I thought to myself, ‘Hmmm… That’s a little too farfetched.'”

Sakurai also mentioned in his column that coming up with character ideas for a Smash Bros. game may seem easy, but it takes a great deal of work to implement on the development side.

Elminage Another Story, a port of the 2012 PSP game is coming to Japan on August 28th. Check out the debut trailer below
