Atariboy Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Has there been any news on what else will be part of Pac-Man Museum? Battle Royale, the original Pac-Man, and Pac-Man Championship Edition were the first three that were unveiled but my impression at the time which is backed up by that preview indicates that more content than just those three were set to be included. Been hoping that Jr. Pac-Man would see the light of day. The final game list for this was unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show earlier this month. Pac-Man Super Pac-Man Pac & Pal Pac-Land Pac-Mania Pac-Attack Pac-Man Arrangement (As seen on Namco Museum Battle Collection for the PSP) Pac-Man Championship Edition (Excluded on the 360 & PS3) Pac-Man Battle Royale Was hoping for something new but it looks like Battle Royale is it. Not even Pac-Man Plus which remains limited to their plug & play lineup for official releases. So games like Jr. Pac-Man or a virtual recreation of Baby Pac-Man are still absent. It seems awfully strange that Ms. Pac-Man is absent unless they're planning on a follow up compilation next year.

Metal Ghost Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Random question of the day: Any games use the Wii U's NFC? I'm guessing maybe that new Pokémon game? I've never played a Pokémon game so I don't know too much about it. But any other games, either released or announced, make use of the gamepad's NFC?

Atariboy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 That's where you can set something on the screen, right? They showed off something in the new Rayman game months ago but I don't know if it's in the final game. I imagine those kids games with the toys also utilize it (The Spyro game and the Disney version of it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 Yea, there's a little section just off of the bottom-left of the gamepad screen where the NFC ship is. I'm a bit confused when it comes to Disney Infinity and Skylanders ports on the Wii U: to my knowledge, both games still come with their respective 'portals' in order to bring the toys into the video game. Seems like a missed opportunity to take advantage of the native Wii U hardware. If absolutely no other reason, would save the game publishers some costs. This is the first I've heard of there possibly being NFC integration with Rayman Legends. Anyone know anything about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarrj Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Pokemon is the only thing so far to use the nfc function. The rayman thing was only a tech demo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Since there has been a bit of Pac-Man Museum discussion in here, I thought I'd bump it since I see it has been delayed until early next year. It was supposed to be released right around now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for a console release of Jr. and Plus forever......... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atariboy Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Anyone ever hit the power button on their gamepad and have it not recognized by the console? Got an error message yesterday on the gamepad screen. System booted up fine when I hit the button on my Wiimote. Then I switched it off and tried it again from the gamepad and it worked just fine from then on. Just the pitfalls of wireless communication that sometimes momentarily screw up, I hope. I like this gamepad but if there's one unarguable negative with this controller, it's the cost of replacing it. We essentially have two expensive pieces of hardware to worry about instead of just the console itself like traditionally.

It was supposed to be released right around now. I'm pretty sure that everyone around here has already heard about this (I think news came out about a month ago?) but the Wii U version of Pac Man Museum was cancelled. Not sure if anyone has played on any of the other platforms though. If so, any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Yeah, it sadly was cancelled. Wasn't going to get it here because of their DRM, but it stinks for Wii U fans just the same. One thing that I think they ended up backtracking on was including Pac-Man Championship Edition on the 360/PS3 versions. Wasn't originally going to be included on those two versions but apparently was in the end. Definitely plan to acquire it but haven't yet. Curious what people think of Battle Royale if anyone here has it. Appears to be the primary reason to acquire it.

I love how a college sophomore in his dorm room can make a Wii U game from scratch, and Namco can't cobble one together out of already-finished games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I'm not surprised to see the Wii U version scrapped, but dropping the 3DS version as well came as a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
godslabrat Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Can you play a Wii game on the Wii-U's tablet screen? I'm trying to google this and getting conflcting info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amstari Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Can you play a Wii game on the Wii-U's tablet screen? I'm trying to google this and getting conflcting info. Yes you can. Originally you couldn't do it but it was added with a system update. The Wii U gamepad has it's own built in sensor bar too. http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2013/10/01/wii-u-firmware-update-lets-you-play-original-wii-games-exclusively-on-the-gamepad/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) But you can't control it with the Wii U gamepad even if it has Classic Controller functionality. It can only be used as a display, not a display/controller like with a proper Wii U release. So you'll still need a Wii controller.

You can't control it at all, So it has to be a Wii U release only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
