A newly uncovered trademark filing may indicate Bandai Namco is working on a Pac-Man game in the vein of Super Mario Maker.
Most discussion so far has noted the similarity of the title to Nintendo’s Super Mario Maker, pointing to the possibility that the title will center on letting players build their own Pac-Man mazes.
That’s a definitely possibility, but it’s also hard to imagine Super Mario Maker‘s formula translating all that well to the very different, much simpler arcade gameplay of classic Pac-Man.
Of course, even if Pac-Man Maker is a real game that’s actually on the way, there’s no clear evidence of what that might entail.
