My Arcade, the US-based retro gaming specialist, and Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. have joined forces and announced two new gaming devices filled with classic Namco games at this year’s E3. The new machines further expand the line of products borne out of the partnership, which already includes a set of micro player arcades featuring classic titles such as Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug.
