SEGA pulled several of its titles from the App Store on Wednesday. Most of the games were Genesis ports, like Streets Of Rage and Golden Axe, that did not transfer well to iOS. SEGA did note that "given the right situation, these titles may return in an updated form," but it is doubtful.
In celebration of Pac-Man's 35th anniversary Bandai Namco announced Pac-Man 256. The game is being developed by Hipster Whale (Crossy Road) and Bandai Namco Studios Vancouver. The iconic Pac-Man will star alongside Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde in all-new game inspired by the infamous “256 Glitch" of the original title. Pac-Man 256 will be available this summer.

The same studio who created the PlayStation and Xbox titles Spyro the Dragon, Ratchet & Clank and Sunset Overdrive are behind this tower defense game with a twist. In Bad Dinos players must protect the prehistoric Poundrok family as they try to save their son who was kidnapped by a pterodactyl. The game features the traditional tower defense traps and turrets, but it also introduces a new game mechanic where players can capture their enemy and turn them against each other.
