It’s criminal only Xbox 360 owners have been able to experience Pac-Man Championship Edition, easily one of the best retro reinventions so far. It’s fantastic looking and playing sequel.

Microsoft tied up the console rights to the techno-infused reimainging, but Namco Bandai will be releasing an iPhone version of Pac-Man Championship Edition later this year, the publisher has told me.

I have no screen shots, details on extra features or even a release date less vague than before the end of 2009, but I can tell you Pac-Man Championship Edition is coming to the iPhone and that should be news enough to salivate over, if you’ve played it before.

Nailing the controls for Pac-Man will likely prove tricky. Once I know more, I’ll pass it on.
