Bandai Namco Celebrates The Arrival Of Pac-Man Museum+ With A Delightful Launch Trailer

Yes x500 that as awesome

Mine is arriving Friday!!

Where are digital preorders?

That's a lot of Pac for one man.

Paku Paku
Great video! ^^

Cool!

This is definitely looking to be the proper celebration for the pellet-muncher, something that I couldn't feel with Pac-Man 99 at all (gimme Super Mario Bros. 35 back).

Would've been fun being able to preorder the game

@Eel It would be more fun to play it

Can't find a European physical, seems to be NA exclusive?

@Paperboy I think you're right. I've checked all the UK retailers and can't find it anywhere 😔

@Game_Boi @Paperboy : Physical only for NA and Japan (the Japanese release includes English support, and is likely the same build internationally).

What time do new digital eShop games actually release on Friday in UK? I don't normally buy digital games on day 1, wish I could preorder on eShop but no listing!

@Silly_G @Game_Boi Thanks guys. Too bad. I'll look into importing.

I might need to get this for PAC-MAN Championship Edition! The sequel was kinda disappointing and the original was perfection!

Edit: Wait.. I forgot the DX...this is not PAC-Man Championship Edition DX. THAT one was perfection. Urgh. Why wont they rerelease it?

Sees "PAC-MAN MUSEUM+ is here!" trailer

If only this was a real game...

I’ll pick up my preorder at GameStop tomorrow, along with Time on Frog Island.

There’s so many Pac games in this collection I’ve never tried, so I’m looking forward to munching some pellets and ghosts this weekend!

PS. Cute trailer and the tunes are so nostalgic! Maybe I’ll search for the old Pac-Man Saturday morning cartoon on YouTube and show the kiddos what I used to watch when I was their age!

Wow that is a cool trailer. My physical order was delayed to June 1

Pac-Mom?
I think we know who killed Ms. Pac Man... for real this time.

"Use your coins to play arcade games!" You mean the ones you already spent your real coins on? Or are these non-Pac-man games?

The Pac-man game I really want to try is Pac-Pix, but that's not in here due to needing a stylus and double screen.

I will pick this up eventually. I do wish Pac-Man Plus was included. I don't know why, but that's always been my favorite version of Pac-Man?

This collection has been my most hyped game since last November, can't wait!!!

@ValZ AtGames is the Culprit, here. I mean, at this point, the damage is already done. What can be done is that Bandai Namco could try making a Reskin of Ms. Pac-Man called "Pac-Mom." You know, don't bother changing the graphics or music, except for the title character.

Looks cool, I'm doubtful I'll pick it up though. Been there done that!

Probably an instabuy but I'd like to know how much it will be.

@MeloMan I think it’ll be about 30 dollars?

@Pandy-the-Panda I noticed that too. As of today (May 26, 2022) you can buy the game on the Japan eshop, but it's still not even showing on the NA eshop's section for upcoming games. I'm sure it'll be there tomorrow, but it does seem like an odd omission.

@Ogbert I like both Championship Edition DX and Championship Edition 2 a lot, but I think in the end I prefer CE 2. But thankfully they have somewhat different mechanics so both are still worth playing.

But yeah, they really should re-release CE DX. Even the PC version is locked at 720p (and 60fps), so there's room for improvement there. Would look awesome on either a nice HDR display or Switch OLED.

@KoopaTheGamer DX 2 was far from bad but for me it was much harder to get those satisfying ghost chains going. But it would have been more disappointing if it was exactly the same as DX so I am glad they did something different with it! Shame neither are in this collection. For a “Museum+” it’s missing an awful lot of games.

As is becoming more and more frequent this is something I really would have liked on my switch but is “free” to me on Xbox via Gamespass.

I might still pick up a copy on Switch though. Decisions, decisions.
