Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 Confirmed for October Release Worldwide

I'm suprised this got a sequel, the first one didn't sell very muc hat all.

@Tops ditto

They should have put this Pac-Man in Smash.

...So glad this Pac-Man isn't in Smash, so freaky looking. T.T lol

What an awful character design.

Why...? Just...no...

is the first one fun? i was thinking of getting it.

I really liked the first one. No, it isn't the greatest game in the world. It is just a nice throwback 3D action game, similar to games from the Nintendo 64 days.

Is this Nintendo exclusive?

@Th3PlaidHatter It's not. The design in Smash is based on Pac-Man's appearance in Pac-Man World.

@MixMasterMudkip What no.
@Th3PlaidHatter Are you blind? The Pacman in Smash is from the Playstation games Era.

@Th3PlaidHatter Is it open world-ish, like Banjo Kazooie or Mario 64, or is it more linear like Super Mario 3D World and Sonic Lost World?

@Th3PlaidHatter But fortunately, Sakurai put his own twist on him to make him less... freaky.

@Th3PlaidHatter As ModestFan93 said, that's not the Pac that's in smash. It's on older incarnation.

@ModernMARVEL Not open world, though there are multiple levels open most of the time. There is also an overworked, it is their school.

NL did a review of it, it is very positive. The 3DS and Wii U games are completely different though.

Yeah this isn't the one used in Smash, lol.

Smash render.

Looks nothing like that...THING in that game.

When I clear up more game backlog, I wiill try out the first. I always wonder how it's like first hand and it's less then $20 so I'm willing to bite that bullet.

If I was 17 years younger, I would be all over the show like I was with mario, kirby, sonic and other videogame cartoons with the same wide eyes and excitement. I miss that childhood innocents and outlook.

Oh pacman what have they done too you?

Pac-Man Boom!

I have to say it doesn't look like much graphically but the wide variety of gameplay reminds me a little of W101 for some reason. Certainly a fun looking kids game.

So, anybody else get a sense of dread seeing that Wii U box smack dab between the Xbox360 and PS3 boxes at the end, w/o a PS4 or X1 box in site? Harbinger of things to come me thinks.

@DiscoGentleman Yep, Nintendo could make Sonic and especially Pac-Man great Platformers. With Sonic Boom looks like Sonic too is fading away.

I guess PAC-man games are really good for kids, I can see them enjoying this but for anyone else this is just bleh...

screw them.... still I don't forget that they delayed project cars after one week they became official distributors

Still surprised Namco brought this but not that recent Pac-Man collection to these systems.

@ModestFan93 I believe he has had that design more or less from the begining. Perhaps more in promo artwork and such rather then in-game.

Help me. Please get this away from me.

@rjejr it isn't like W101. Think a little more like Mario 64. You are right about the environments though, they are all very same-y, I get lost a lot of times because I can't tell where I am since everything looks the same. That is really my only complaint. There are dots to guide you a lot of times though.

@Mega719

No kidding. My head can't make sense of it.

Also, is it just me that thinks the voicework is highly annoying? Maybe it's only because I'm not ten years old.

@Kodeen
Thanks!

This kinda made me feel glad about Capcom not making any Megaman games. What if Megaman suffered the same fate?! NO!

@Th3PlaidHatter - "it isn't like W101"

Well, I know it isn't like W101, but I went into W101 thinking it would all just be the same open world fighting, but there were a couple of giant robot boxing matches, and a 2D drilling level, and 1 or 2 on rails shooter sections. I'm old enough that when I think Pac-Man I think Pac-Man. I don't know what this is exactly but there are similarities in the look and gameplay in many of the levels.

@CaviarMeths he didn't say anything about smash. He was talking about the game Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures.

I would like to see more. I did not feel Sonic Lost World was a bad game, so this could be similar.

Oh, Sakurai, add this Pacman as a skin in Smash, to troll people online!

@Pokefanmum82 My comment was a reply to a comment of his that he has since deleted. It was an @ to Xiao_Pai saying that this design is the one used in Smash.

I'd never seen a second of the cartoon before today, and the only thing I can take out of this is that I never want to hear Pac-Man speak ever again. Seriously, Pac-Man, just stick to doing what you do best...

If the 1st goes less than $20, I'll pick that up for Wii U.

To be fair the game is obviously aimed at kids, I have no problems with it being released. I won't get it but if my kids were a little older then this would have been ideal

Pac-Man isn't the most popular and most recognizable game character! If Mario was more recognizable than Mickey Mouse, then Pac-Man isn't that big.

P.S Namco, please stop trying with this Reboot. It isn't going to work.

Too bad they won't release any tales games for wii u.

Eww.

@MixMasterMudkip NOOOOO.

Bought the first one for $10 about amonth ago. Probably won't pick this one up unless it's $15 or less.

Namco needs to go back to the more traditional PacMan 3D model aka the one Sakurai rightfully chose.

I know namco wanted to change things up a bit but... I love the old pacman model but cannot stand the new one.. I loved pacman world 2.. one of the best platformers in my book. but the new pacman and his voice actor just not good

@River3636 Because they bit the hand that got them their start. Shameful.

Say what you guys want,but the music in these games IS lovING AWESOME.
I could listen to the pac-man park remix for hours,and it would just be a great time.
_{Please watch the profanity — TBD}

@DakotaM47

Already is.

I'm so excited... not.

@MixMasterMudkip Please tell me you're joking. You'd rather have that thing from the trailer in Smash than this Pac-Man?

First one was a pretty decent platformer. As long as the price is right, I might be up for this.

While the first one was decent, i honestly don't get why they thinked that this game needed a sequel. I'll still buy it though

Man, I just really don't like new video game character designs. Still don't like Sonics new look, and don't like Dante new look in the DMC. Pac Man doesn't help either.

Gosh, they sure made Pac-Man creepy on the game's boxart.

That poor blue ghost...

I'm a huge Pacman fan. I have not checked out the first game on WiiU, but I heard good things. Heard it was a nice 3D platformer, throwback to N64 era. I am definitely planning on picking it up soon.

@SuperSammy64 I wish I could.

I feel that character design can sometimes take a backseat to game play.
Ergo a fun world is one you want to live in and hang out with the game's heroes.

Although the Sonic series says nuuuuuuuuuuu

Of all the things Bamco had the ability to bring over, they chose this awful thing. It's things like this that force me to import much more worthy Bandai Namco games, like Girls und Panzer: Senshado Kiwamemasu for Vita. I would have liked an English version of that, but it looks like they have their hands tied with Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 instead.

Let's see...
Smash Bros for 3DS or this game? It's really a hard choice!

I think my reaction to how this Pacman looks would be the ghosts on the box art.

how atrocious
i usually only play 8 bit pac man the arms legs and facial features really never did it for me

I like that remix of the "Pac Park" music. Otherwise that's a face that would scatter a haunted mansion.

This game is rated 10+ old? lol I don't see anything wrong with why it would have so high age restriction. I'm sorry but an 8 year old will enjoy this as well and sometimes smarter than a 10 year old. LOL @ todays rating system

I may have just found a new desktop background. That cover art is gorgeous. Not interested in the game though.

I got the game and it is good!
