Japan's
Namco Museum Essentials is crossing the pond to America's PlayStation Network this July. The downloadable app will serve as a hub for various Namco arcade games, such as
Pac-man,
Galaga,
Dig Dug,
Dragon Spirit,
Xevious, and a new 1080p "re-envisioned"
Xevious: Resurrection. In addition to the standard gamut of features (trophies, leaderboards), players will be able to unlock PlayStation Home rewards to proudly display in their virtual apartments.
Namco Bandai will also be launching a new destination within PlayStation Home simultaneously with the release of
Museum Essentials. It will serve as the hub for all of Namco Bandai's upcoming downloadable games and will include a virtual arcade featuring a trial version of
Museum Essentials. In addition to the free demo, PlayStation Home items can be unlocked for those who visit the space. All in all, it looks as though Home fans (casual and hardcore) will have a lot to look forward to.
Namco Museum Essentials coming to PlayStation Home in July originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 17 Jun 2009 18:05:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
