Namco Whoring Pac-Man & Namco Museum On The Wii

[dogbert]

Because the straight rip-off of Mario Kart wasn't enough, here comes a new Namco Museum Remix. It'll feature the usual Namco Museum games plus new "remixes" featuring Pac-Man.

 

We've provided verbatim descriptions for each remixed game courtesy of Namco:

 

# Pac'n Roll Remix: Pac-Man will roll his way to victory instead of chomping his way through. Players navigate Pac-Man by rolling him through worlds where he will face deadly obstacles, roll-up classic pac pellets and use awesome power-ups.

 

# Galaga Remix: With Galaga invaders arriving from the far reaches of space, players must try to shoot down the invading forces and save Pac-Man from ultimate destruction. With up to four-players able to challenge the oncoming invaders, and scores being tallied for each player, wiping out an alien species has never been so much fun.

 

# Pac-Motos Remix: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to knocking your opponents off a series of unique and colorful stages all while using the Wii controller to move, dash and power-up your Pac-Man. Players engage in a small arena where the goal is to knock opponents off while grabbing power-ups and navigating through challenging environments.

 

# Rally-X Remix: With up to four players capable of taking the screen at once, this classic Namco title is brought new life with slick graphics, power-ups and a new intuitive control scheme using the Wii remote to steer.

 

# Gator Panic? Remix: Gators pose a serious problem and Pac-Man is here to solve it. Players use Pac-Man to whack at emerging gators that appear on screen. The player with the most gator whacks at the end of a match wins.

 

Many of the offerings will support a multiplayer mode.

 

 

The Namco Museum series is a huge seller for Namco. It's easy money. It sports almost the same games in every edition these days (the early ones were far more varied in their selection). It's a bit of a shame to see Rally-X again. However, the remix edition on the PSP was fun, but didn't sport Pac-Man shoe-horned into every game.
