I really hope they fix the input delay on all the games in Pac-Man Museum + very soon. Pac-Mania, both Pac-Man Arrangements, Championship Edition, and 256 alone made it worth buying for me, even if I technically own all of them somewhere else. Also Adventures in Time would be cool to have in there as well. As for the Pac-Man World games, they deserve their own game IMO.
I noticed I was dying a lot earlier than usual too lol. I mostly bought it for the cute presentation. Beyond the original and Ms. Pacman, I'm kind of a Pacman noob so it was nice playing stuff like Pac Mania and Arrangement. Nice vid.
my MAIN gripe is lack of online multiplayer. the game has 5 multiplayer games but no practical way of playing with others. also sound emulation is bad for some games
I feel like after a couple of months/years after the release, no one would even bother playing online mutiplayer. Like it would definitely benefit those games that have mutiplayer games, but I don't think this collection is worth adding online mutiplayer. Like sure, when the game came out, people would've played the online mutiplayer like crazy. But after like a couple of years, do you think people will go back and play this game, hop on to a game that supports online mutiplayer, only to find out that no ones even playing anymore?
I like the arcade gimmick but it’s not enough to fix it, I know it’s hard to get licensing for Ms. PAC-MAN and it might be kind of hard to make Baby PAC-MAN work but go big or go home
Psss....you can get "Pac Gal" on Android. It's totally free. It's an exact clone of Mrs. Pac-Man, but they changed a few colors. You are definitely going to want a controller for it though.
Did you ever play any of the Namco Museum games on the PS1? That's been my fave display Namco have ever done for their older titles. But it is frustrating they never make anything to honor their titles from the late 80s to 90s.
@@FumeiComTV All Namco does is reissue the same old games over and over again while ignoring some of the coolest late 80s/early 90s arcade games of theirs, all because of some stupid people insisting that Namco Museum only have the most popular games and nothing else.
Great review! I'd pick this up if it had Championship DX on the disc. I'm not a fan on wasted *space with artwork bezels either. If I could rotate the screen vertically, I'd be more inclined to get this.
As of right now, you can get Pac-Man and Super Pac-Man thru the Arcade Archives releases. (These are stand-alone games.) The nice part is that they don't have any input lag or emulations issues, and you can rotate the screen in whatever direction you want. (Particular nice if you get them on Switch, and also get the Flip Grip.)
Shame about the lag. Seems to be a problem with many recent retro releases. Ironic given that platforms are more powerful than ever, but struggle with 40 year old games.
In my opinion, no it's not overhyped. The only valid complaint I've seen about the game is the lag. Even then, people really overplay just how much of a deal breaker it is. As a PAC-MAN fan, this is my second favorite PAC-MAN collection, right behind NAMCO MUSEUM ARCADE PAC. I'm good at PAC-MAN games, regardless of if it has lag or not. The lag is rarely noticeable, git gud people.
How to fix the input lag! I too have the xbox version and I was very disappointed upon my initial play of it. That made me dig into the issue. I have a Samsung QLED screen, and in the video/picture settings there is a "game mode". Selecting that completely - 100% - fixed the lag issue. I have a cabinet of pac man (an original) so I know what a lag free version feels like, and now the xbox version is lag free too.
I just don’t know if the Pac-Man CE is indeed the original as you say? Can you confirm this? I feel like the original PacMan CE was way faster… wasn’t it?
I got the game on both PS4 and Switch and had a great time with it the PS4 version especially. Although I haven’t noticed the greatest amount of lag in the games, it is very noticeable when playing Pac-Man Arrangement. For some reason exclusively in the Switch version, Pac-Attack and Pac-in-Time have this weird issue where the colours are saturated, and they look very ugly. At the end of the day, I consider the games in this collection playable.

THANK YOU FOR NOTICING AND MENTIONING THE LAG. All the reviews ignoring it really frustrates me. Switch version definitely has it
And the Xbox version, cough cough. Tolerable for the slower games, but not at all acceptable for Super Pac-Man.
Yeah, I notice it most in Pac-Man, Super, Pal, and especially Mania and Land. I really wish they'd patch this issue.
But in this review he ignored them not using the PS1 version of Pac-Attack or Pac-Man 256 not having Multiplayer….
@@daddyfloyd268 Pac-Man 256 does have local multi-player. If you look around in the game's title menu, you'll find it.
@@Rivalseeker Ik but that's something he didn't mention.

Yeah this would have actually been really solid had they fixed up the emulation
@@FumeiComTV Big news, a new Pac-man game is announced!!!!!!!
That Super Pac-Man plug 'n play story sounds like a cartoon villain origin story

One of my big issues is that Pac N Roll remix doesn’t have the story mode Pac n Roll has which feels off
Yeah I was thrown off by that because it’s the same game besides the touch of the stylus controls
Its the pac n roll from Namco museum remix, not the one from the ds version
At this point I wouldn't have minded a full on remake of pac n roll mainly because its antagonist is a huge highlight for me.
The reason why the remix version is used is because the story had references to ms pac man

Holy hell, you literally post on everybody's channels.
what's the music used in the beginning?
Great review! I'd pick this up if it had Championship DX on the disc. I'm not a fan on wasted *space with artwork bezels either. If I could rotate the screen vertically, I'd be more inclined to get this.
I'm surprised that they didn't incorporate a "TATE" mode, especially for the Switch version, the SW version of Namco Museum had it after all
@@FumeiComTV Seems a little phoned in unfortunately 😕

This game could be way better if they added pacman championship edition dx and worlds largest pacman.
What's that japanese(?) Song you play at the end? I wanna hear it in full if it exists
Pac Man 256 is also available on PS4, Xbox, and PC for about $5, with no microtransactions or ads.
11:04 I played this one in arcades it’s pretty fun with 4 people
Idk if the game got updated but I play it on switch (I got it 2 days ago) and I don’t notice any lag when I press buttons
great collection, but the input lag are terrible, you see yourself dying so many times on you do the right moves and the game jokes at you.
I downloaded it on game pass I just wanted pac man arrangement it’s pretty decent but I was hoping for that ps2 3d pac man to also get included
What’s the song at the very end!?
This channel is great, it reminds me of Dragon Quest
3:30 I thought it was a scrapped idea to localize the game never knew it actually released

Well, they aren't throwing in Pac-World, but at least it's coming pretty soon as a remaster.

There’s input lag on Xbox btw
Pac man world re pac is its own cartridge
Is 256 Laggy also???
Almost all the games where on the original pac man museum on the Xbox 360 so why should I buy this?
this has a physical release so if that's something you value that's probably the only reason to buy it
@@FumeiComTV what’s the version of Pac-Man fever you play at the start and where can I find it?
And the original Pac-Man Museum got delisted in 2020 so you got no choice
Cool, I don't care also I'm still buying it
Exactly my reaction to this video aswell lol
@@Meyohimeyoi Big news, a new Pac-man game is announced!!!!!!!

Best part was it was free on Game Pass.
Well I mean you’re paying for Game Pass but yeah I get what you mean
@@FumeiComTV Yeah I could've worded that better. At least it's not the NES port Namco Museums.
It's the right price for it.
@@blasto1926 At-least NES port Namco Museums has other Namco games as well, not just Pacman games.
Namco Bandai should've made an original Pac-Man game instead of this.
