JAKKS to further produce Namco TV games

Like Jumpstyle and Pogs, retro gaming is here to stay. JAKKS Pacific (creators of freakishly well endowed WWE action figures) and Namco Bandai (creators of King & Balloon) have done the corporate mambo and extended their contract to produce more plug-and-play TV games.

Coming off a four year run with Namco, JAKKS hopes to go for even more as Josh Ardell, their senior VP of marketing said, "To date we have sold more than 15 million units based on Namco's top-selling franchise and look forward to at least another three year-run with the titles."

We'll know when the well has run dry when we start seeing Baraduke plug-and-play games.
