Namco celebrates 50th birthday with compilation

According to the latest issue of Famitsu magazine, Namco will release a game compilation in Japan titled NamCollection. The game commemorates the company's 50th year in business.

The PlayStation 2 compilation will consist of five classic PlayStation games: arcade driving game Ridge Racer, flagship fighting game Tekken, flight-combat simulator Ace Combat 2, fantasy-inspired platformer Klonoa, and quirky puzzler Mr. Driller. The compilation will also include a gallery mode where gamers can check out game-related illustrations and sample movies on how to play the games included.

NamCollection is currently 80 percent complete. The compilation is slated for release on June 2 at the price of 3,990 Yen ($38). There's no word on whether it will make its way to North America.
