If you've been clamoring for the Gashapon figures from Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac to become real, then you may not have to wait any longer - especially if you are in Japan!
Wave 1 of five figures based on the game has surfaced on Gashapon's product pages.

Promotional art for Pac-Land. Pac-Land was a platforming video game inspired by the Pac-Man cartoon produced by Hanna-Barbera. The game even uses the Pac-Man cartoon theme music. Shigeru Miyamoto stated he took some inspiration from Pac-Land for his game Super Mario Bros.

STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.
