Mendon Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Please, please, please..... don't desecrate Pac-Man!! Pac-Man Party for the Wii: - more than 45 mini-games - curling, tennis, King of the Hill, traditional Pac-Man style games, and more - story mode: guide Pac-Man through various locales (green meadow, desert, snowy mountains) laid out on a Monopoly-style game board - the ghosts chase Pac-Man around the board - The goal: Help Mr. Cookie save his secret recipe - you can go straight to whatever mini-game you want - also includes original arcade version of Pac-Man, Galaga and Dig-Dug "We've definitely taken the Pac-Man themes and concept and expanded them to make Pac-Man relevant for the current generation of gamer. Going the party game route is right in line with the audience and who will have fun playing it, both parents and kids. It's very family-friendly." - Todd Thorson, Namco Bandai ORIGINAL STORY HERE You do this, Namco, and I'll never buy another of your products again!!

Kripto Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Do you not have prior experience with the Pac Man franchise being raped? Ever hear of Professor Pac Man? To me it's really something of note when they come out with a Pac Man game that delivers any of the original's value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 The only Pacman after Ms. Pacman that I enjoyed (and there have been many, many) is "Pacman Arrangement" that appeared on PS2 (possibly others) Namco Museum (not the 50th anniv. ed, the original) and also on the "Pac Man Collection" for Gameboy Advance, and Namco Museum for PSP. Just because they came out with a ton of crap games (and are about to again) doesn't mean you have to play them, or that the original is desecrated.

Chris Leach Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 was just awful....this can't be worse than that...! I have a friend who owned a professor pac-man cabinter. His girlfriend painted it red and wrote snk on it since it housed a neo geo inners....sad.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4Ks Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 WOW another Wii party game. I haven't seen nearly enough of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Not surprising. Pac-Man is well known, so spin offs of all kinds are common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickNixonArisen Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah... this is just another drop in the bucket. A drop of PEE in a POO bucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnon Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I could have sworn this has already happened. I recall a party game for Gamecube or something that was Pac-Man themed...they even had Tekken characters involved IIRC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnon Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Yeah, wasn't that a party game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Video Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 I seem to remember Pac-man already had a "Party" game for gamedube. Wasn't that the one where people could link gameboys to it and the other players could be ghosts? The fact Namco is actually dragging his old ass out and using him for something besides filler for a "anniversary" pack is actually pretty cool. As for he game itself, if it turns out good, I may be interested, but this sounds like multiplatform gaming to me...and if it's available for something else, I'll get it for that.

Mendon Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Speaking for myself: Pac-Man CE was a great Pac-Man game. Pac-Man playing Curling, Tennis and King of the Hill while "helping Mr. Cookie save his recipe"?? Barf! Mendon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBC Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Speaking for myself: Pac-Man CE was a great Pac-Man game. Pac-Man playing Curling, Tennis and King of the Hill while "helping Mr. Cookie save his recipe"?? Barf! Mendon Remake PAC Land 2. I love that game. Call it PAC Land 3 Save The World. Have 2D graphics but better than before. Keep the slingshot game play. Make the game a huge world. Like PAC can go to Europe, Japan,etcc.... plus have the original stages in the game. Make the original stages have more though. Like eat in restaurant's, play Namco arcade games in arcades. Not just PAC games only. Work side jobs for money, drive automobile's like cars, trucks, trash trucks, etc.... PAC Land 2 is one of my favorite games of all time.
