Reminder: May 22nd is….

…is Pac-Man’s 34th birthday (OK birthday is a stretch. May 22, 1980 was the first day of the Japanese arcade release). If the long standing rumor about him being in Smash 4 is true, logically it would be revealed tomorrow. Most of Smash 4’s reveals have followed this pattern. If not, well here’s a bit of fun video game trivia. Its not like anything really important happened on May 22nd.

Well, I mean I was born on that day but I’m not as important as Pac-man…or anything really.

Artwork from Street Fighter X Tekken

A lot of interesting choices in that Pac-Man artwork. What is the slime? What is the evil Pac doing behind him? What kind of cabinet is that? Why does the cabinet have 3 buttons? 1-player, 2-player and ???

O, the questions!

The Pac-Man artwork is from Street Fighter X Tekken. Its strange though because in that game Pac rides a Mokujin mech. The shadow character is his Pandora state and the slime isn't slime but supposedly water as much of SF X T character portraits are supposed to be situated around watercolors much like SF 4 was situated around ink lines.

BTW, those were real questions right? Because if you were being rhetorical, then I'm sorry I went all wiki. Bad habit.

LOVED Championship Edition DX. If he was in SSB, that would be the bees knees.

I've never got around to getting Champ Edition DX. I loved the demo of it though.

Cool picture. I'm sure Cary will blog about this tomorrow.

No, no Pac-Man blogs from me today.  That May 22 day sounds a bit unconfirmed, plus I've written about Pac-Man so much that there's not a whole lot new to write about.  But I will have a blog up on Friday and Pac-Man will be in it.  He's not the main topic, but he's in there (but he usually is in my blogs).

It would be awesome but we didn't get that guy today.

It doesn't mean Pac isn't in the game yet, though.

Happy birthday dude, hope you have an awesome one! I knew something important was going to happen tomorrow. Neat Pac-man art.

Happy birthday!  Your birthday is WAY more important than Pac-Man's!  Pac-Man is just a video game character, you're a real person and you matter!

If Pac-Man were in the next Smash game, then it would have pretty much all my favorite characters in it (Kirby, Mega Man, etc.).  But I hope they don't use the current 'Ghostly Adventures' cartoon look for Pac-Man like they did for SFxT.  I don't care much for that look.

Thanks Cary, though I still think I'm small potatoes compared to Pac-Man.

Its possible Pac-man will be based off his older looks if he is still in the game. I mean there characters that are not based on their recent exploits. Plus there are retro Galaxians and Rally X flags as items. So its possible that they could use another verison of Pac-Man.

No video game character is better than a real person, so I don't want to hear you saying things like that.

I didn't know that Galaxians and Special Flags show up as items in the new Smash game!

As your birthday and Pac-Man's are the same, you should totally cosplay at your own birthday party - like this guy.

True story: I actually do have a Pac-Man T-shirt that says "The Original Ghost Hunter" that did wear last year. Sadly its shrunken a bit, so I didn't wear it yesterday.

Belated Happy Birthday Wishes!!

Having Pac-Man in Smash Bros. would be pretty cool, that's for sure.
