Major video-game manufacturers are releasing new versions of old hits as users are increasingly becoming turned off by the growing complexity of the latest productions.
The blast from the past includes Nintendo Co.'s Donkey Kong and Namco's Pac-Man.
"Nintendo's revived products are selling fast among those in their 30s and 40s who once played the games, and some are out of stock," said an employee at a specialized game shop in Osaka.
