Last month, not long after the release of Pac-Man World Re-PAC, a story surfaced online about the original game's staff not being credited in this newer version of the game.
At the time, former Namco Hometek game designer Scott Rogers mentioned how disappointed he was with this decision on social media. Fortunately, it seems like Bandai Namco will be sorting this out in a future update:
"For our dedicated PAC-fans, an update to the credits for PAC-MAN WORLD Re-PAC is currently in progress. We’ll have more to share soon!"
Rogers previously explained how the new remake was a "100% recreation" of the original title right down to level designs and pac-dot placement, and mentioned how it could be resolved within a matter of minutes. Bandai Namco was quick to respond on social media at the time, mentioning how it would look into the issue.
Keep an eye out for this Pac-Man credits update in the near future.

There we go. Bravo, Namco. Still don't know why it wasn't there from the beginning, but better late than never.
Finally non-Mario movie news.
In all seriousness, what caused the omission of the original staff mention?
I'm glad they're being recognized now.
There are a couple of things you can learn by reading the Credits, like how I realized Retro Studios somehow helped in the development of Mario Strikers: Battle League, so having them as complete as possible would be appreciated.
Glad to have that issue resolved.
Will be replaying that game once it drops.
Plagiarism in gaming rearing it's ugly head once again
Really disappointing it took them this long to address it.
@Axecon Self-plagiarizing? xD
Serves them right! You can't ignore the original team.

This is nothing new in the industry when it comes to remakes and remasters. Original devs are often uncredited because they no longer work for the company that published the games they worked on. Sometimes, original devs are credited in generic special thanks without actually naming anyone.
