ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL - NAMCO America is pleased to announce an expansion in the service department. Neil Goheen has joined the company in the customer service department as a bench technician. Neil, a coin-op industry veteran from Waukegan Il., has spent the past 6 years working in the technical department for Dell Electronics, the designers of NAMCO America's "Jumpin' Jackpot" and "Flamin' Finger" redemption games. Neil will be working together with the BANDAI NAMCO Games technical group in Japan and other service partners to help provide the highest level of technical service to NAMCO America's customers. This step will help reduce the amount of repairs that need to be shipped to Japan for service, thereby reducing turnaround time and overall costs for customers. NAMCO America is committed to providing quicker response and lower cost repairs for their customers. Eliminating the freight costs back and forth from Japan will be one step towards that goal.

SUPER SIZE ME!
Pac-Man Battle Royale Deluxe is in stock and shipping now!

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, IL - The first production release of the Pac-Man Battle Royale Deluxe units were so much in demand that the units sold out before NAMCO America officially unveiled it to both US and international buyers at IAAPA Attractions Expo 2011. The deluxe units have been out in the field for the last 1.5 months and the performance is off the charts! The collection reports being reported put Pac-Man Battle Royale at or near the top of the location against attractions with far heftier price tags. The deluxe cabinets officially launched in December to great fanfare with launch parties in 20 different Dave & Buster's locations across the US. The two-day launch event saw Pac-Man Power Girls appearing in locations from Times Square in New York to San Diego, California. Guests at the launch party locations were greeted by a Pac-Man Power Girl and were given free game swipes to try out the new multi-player game. Players at the event were also given limited edition Mardi Gras beads emblazoned with the iconic Pac-Man logo. Photos of the launch parties can be seen on the official Pac-Man Battle Royale Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PacManBattleRoyale More...
