Namco Bandai is working to bring relevance to some of its most well known titles with the announcement of the Namco Generations label. The label will be responsible for releasing updated, high definition titles to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade services.

“Namco Bandai holds a rich heritage of classic games that shaped the early history of the video game industry,” says marketing VP Carlson Choi. “They defined what arcade games should be, and set the benchmark for retro revivals with Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions.”

Namco has already announced that the first title to receive a makeover is Pac-Man, in Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, which is set for release today on XBLA and November 23 for the PSN.Galaga and Metro-Cross are also getting new games set for release this year, with more to follow for 2011.

Besides the new label, Namco is highlighting a new community newsletter to supplement Generations; the newsletter is available through the main menu of any purchased game.
