The biggest news to hit about Smash Bros. yesterday had to be the inclusion of Pac-Man — and boy did people have a lot to say about it.
For some, Pac-Man wasn’t a surprise addition to the roster: Namco is involved in Smash Bros. development, after all. Even so, folks seemed to react strongly to the Pac-Man reveal. Some seem happy. Some seem a bit mad that a slot is “wasted” on a character like Pac-Man. And some are content with cracking jokes about it all.
Here’s some of what people around the web are saying about Pac-Man in Smash Bros.

Nintendo’s treating these third party characters better than the publishers that bloody own them pic.twitter.com/bvEjA7Tbgd

Nintendo did an amazing job of repairing Pac-Man for Smash Bros. I wish they could fix everyone’s 3D characters. pic.twitter.com/4S0pKdZGCY

Not cool, Nintendo. My uncle died of “Pac-Man Fever” in ’82.

Someone apparently predicted Pac-Man way back in 2013. Whoa.
Miiverse aside, let’s see what the rest of the internet said about Pac-Man, shall we?
One person couldn’t help but wonder if Ms Pac Man would be included also:
Perhaps as an alternate skin? In any case, there were definitely Photoshops following the announcements:
(via nintendofoodfusions)
(via thisurlwasnttakenbutnowitis)
“all this pac man hate and i’m just like” (via purified-zone)
And for those of you who are like “why is Pac-Man in this game,” JonTron has something to say to you:
At least one person tried doing a real-life Smash Bros. tussle while pretending to be Pac-Man:
One person felt annoyed with folks who screamed CALLED IT:
People were still hyped about it though, don’t worry:
And yes, people had stuff to say about Palutena too. Most of it seemed focused on her butt, thanks to how she was revealed:

Why is it Pac MAN and not Pac WOMAN this is bullshit! There goes 48% of the gaming world!
Dude. Come on.
Because it’s double the animations, it’s double the voices, all that stuff and double the visual assets.
Ubisoft understands.
1st world dev problems.
Wait, what? Pacman is in Smash Bros?? How did I miss that one!?
