Back in January, I wrote about MyArcade releasing two new consoles celebrating 45 years of PAC-MAN - the Mighty Player mini arcade cabinet, and the Pocket Player Max handheld. Both consoles were unveiled at CES 2025, and now we have official pricing information and what games are included, as well as being able to order them!
Let's start with the PAC-MAN 45th Anniversary Mighty Player because it's a true work of art. It comes with PAC-MAN, PAC-MAN PLUS, SUPER PAC-MAN and PAC & PAL pre-installed. That's 4 PAC-MAN games for you to play immediately without any messing around!
The little cabinet itself is made from wood and has a rechargeable battery that gives you around 5-6 hours of game time. It comes with a 3.5" full-colour vertical display, an AC adapter and has a volume control and headphone port, so you don't have to annoy the people around you with a constant chorus of WAKA WAKA whenever you play. It has an RRP of $119 and is available to purchase from Amazon.
The Pocket Player Max has exactly the same games but in a more portable format. It too has the same 3.5" vertical display for those arcade feels and also has adjustable screen brightness. The battery is the same (5-6 hours of game time), and you've also got your headphone port for quiet gaming sessions. This handheld costs $69.99 and comes with a case, a screen protector, and a charging cable, and again can be picked up from Amazon.
What do you guys think? Will you be picking one of these up to help PAC-MAN celebrate 45 years of being a gaming icon? Which do you like the look of most? Let us know in the comments below!
