Interesting twist on the Namco Museum concept. I'll be picking these up sometime soon.

 

I wouldn't mind a volume 3 along the same lines. Namco has several interesting NES/Famicom games left, including some that Evercade has licensed and released like a translated version of Mappy Kids. And I think they could do similar with the 16-bit era if they were to continue. Quite a few good TurboGrafx-16 and Genesis games from Namco and there's some SNES games in their catalog as well (Although they weren't a big player on the SNES like they were on the NES, at least here in the west). 

 

And of course they were a huge name on the Playstation. I bet a PS1 themed Namco collection would be a strong seller.

I got the XBOX one version for both volumes. I have been keeping tabs on the Steam PC version, it turns out you can extract the ROMS,

and play the games on a NES emulator on any system that can run them.

 

This is interesting, because they have the 8-bit demastered versions of Pac Man CE, and Gaplus, which I really enjoy.

I was hoping that the roms for the newly translated games and especially Pac-Man C.E. and Gaplus would be extracted, so I'm glad to hear that.

 

I'll still be lending my support though. I appreciate M2's work and enjoy supporting classic gaming compilations in general.
