Miyamoto's big secret Gamecube game: Pacman??!!

[OB1]

From GAF:

Well the press conference is over and there was absolutely no sign of any new, original Miyamoto game. Talk around the net is that this stupid Pacman game is it. I cannot fucking believe it. EAD isn't even trying anymore.

Have you ever wanted to be one of the ghosts in Pac-Man, not the yellow disc himself? Well, now's your chance.

Thanks to Shigeru Miyamoto, Nintendo's EAD development studio, and cooperation from Namco, the Big N announced a massive treat for retro gamers at today's pre-E3 event.

Pac-Man for the Nintendo GameCube will include the original, 1980 classic. But, this time around, four players can work against each other and together. One person controls Pac-Man, while three others position the ghosts. The player responsible for Pac-Man plays on a Game Boy Advance; when he's caught, the controller gets passed onto the ghost-gamer who snagged him.

There's no release date or media for Pac-Man on the GameCube yet, but we'll have more soon, hopefully. Stay tuned.
