I’m starting to think I genuinely like Scott’s Stash more than the Scott The Woz channel Scott’s allowed to just talk about whatever he wants for however long he wants, it’s great!
Galaga was my SHIT!!! I got to like level 26 on a real cabinet and about lost my mind. Had the namco museum for GBA and it got more play time than anything else. Anyone else have the Activision classics for ps1?
a video made specifically for me about a year ago when i was looking up namco arcade stuff for switch and found out there are like a bajillion releases for pac-man and classic arcade namco titles but all with slightly different selection of games , game versions , and extra features. clearly the best way to go about it is to do what scott did and buy all of them.
The Problem with Pac-Man 99 is that Pac-Man (At least the original version) wasn't really a versus focused game. So they had to add things to Pac-Man 99 which does work, but... does it? On the other hand, in Tetris 99 and F-Zero 99, in the originals you were always going against other players (Unless if you played a different mode), so the games themselves only had to be altered a little to fit with the 99 formula
I know it's not quite in the spirit of this video, but the Spy x Family anime game on Switch also includes a mini-game that is just an anime themed version of Pac-man, right down to using the soundtrack.
This is pretty off topic, but I'm glad to finally see Namco Museum DS acknowledged; I was honestly worried you hadn't played it. I grew up with it, and it's part of why I enjoy Namco's classics to this day. More importantly though, it's a really good Namco Museum title. A ton of artwork, manuals, etc., a great sound test, the ability to play Xevious Plus (and Dig Dug 2 Plus if i remember the other one right), just the coolest intro, controlling the DIP switches of the arcade board, and, in my opinion, the best version of Pac Man Vs. M2 cares a lot as you've mentioned before, and it shows in Namco Museum DS in ways i wish would return in future Namco Museum games.
Agreed. Absolutely love Namco Museum DS. Also agree, best version of Pac Man Vs w/everyone having their own DS. Download Play and sharing of all the games. And Love Dig Dug 2 as well! PSP Namco Museum was great too, especially since it got Ms Pac Man. Good times.
He likely didn't mention it because even though Sonic 1 still has quite a few ports on the Switch, one that's missing is a Genesis Switch Online release. For some reason, Sonic 2 is on Switch Online, but not Sonic 1, so Sonic 2 has a slight edge in terms of the amount of rereleases it has on the Switch.
This is why I write it *taté.* It's normal to adapt a word's spelling to work in your language and keep its pronunciation correct. If you write it _tate,_ you can't blame others for saying it like you wrote it. They speak English after all. ...Unless they dont. 😂
NES/Famicom Pac-Man also has a couple of significant bugs that affect play. When monsters switch from Chase to Scatter mode, they don't reverse direction, which means you can't easily tell when they switch. And, crucially, when the game reaches maximum difficulty (at the 8th Key board instead of 9th like the arcade), there's a bug that makes the initial Scatter period much longer than usual. It's really noticeable when you get to it, the ghosts circle the corners of the board for quite a while before they start chasing you!
Namco Museum Arcade Pac is a bundle containing Namco Museum and Pac-Man Championship 2 Plus on a switch cart, and it has its own unique menu select and switch icon so that could count as another version of Pac-Man on switch
Shoutouts to Hamster's Arcade Archive ports in general. They've been getting arcade perfect ports to consoles, mainly Switch, for years with all kinds of games. They focus heavily on STG's, but there's a shit ton of classics ported by them on Switch and not one is a botched job. They've given clean access to stuff that I would never think to hit consoles at all let alone with quality. Next to M2, they're doing an excellent at making some of these games accessible and preserving them. The fact that In the Hunt, Xexex, and X-Multiply are just on Switch for $7 a pop is crazy to me. Arcade games are notoriously finnicky for normal fan emulation and tracking down real hardware is not only difficult but more expensive than owning a PC usually. Go browse their offerings.
Is the reason they haven’t rereleased pac man world 2(the best pac man world game) really because ms pac man is in it and they need to remake the whole game just so they can insert pac mom in it? That’s crazy if that’s true.
The fact that he keeps getting so close to eating all the pellets and completing the maze and then he stops and lets himself die is just irritating some part of my brain lmao.
Pac-Man Museum+ is kinda special to me in a weird way. I bought it at the Nintendo Store in New York on a night out with some friends, and ended up catching COVID on the same trip, so I spent the next week or so in bed playing goddamn Pac-Man. Fun times.
It looks like the co op pac man championship is comprehensive so it includes all the content from the single player version and that’s why it defaults to it
Hey, Scott, would you ever cover all of the Bust-a-Move/Puzzle Bobble games? Some have been really good, but if my memory serves, the DS one had loads of features, but the _3DS_ version, despite having nicer graphics, was severely cut back. Might be an interesting dive. Especially as you could do a second video for the spin-offs... :D
If I had a nickel for every Nintendo handheld that re-released the original Pac-Man, as well as the Famicom/NES version of Pac-Man for some reason, I'd have three nickels. Which is way more than I should have. (If you're curious, the consoles are the Game Boy Advance, 3DS, and obviously the Switch)
My gut says Pac Man CE has fewer rereleases than CEDX, but that may be because between the Pac Man and Galaga collection being delisted on the 3ds eshop (and the cessation of it being printed physically), and the release of the Pac Man Museum Plus that included it, CE1 (non-DX) was not available anywhere, while CEDX was available on Steam. Could be that I just hold CE closer to me since it was actually designed by Toru Iwatani, and DX is just a confusingly-named sequel that plays incredibly differently.
There are at least two versions of Ms.Pac-Man that can be played on Wii U. My favorite is as an unlockable in the SNES version of Pac-Man 2. Sadly that means an unaltered version of this game will likely never see rerelease.
You forgot to mention this:
The original Pac-Man is an unlockable game in Pac-Man World Re-Pac upon finishing the game.
Damn.

I like to imagine some big PacMan fan is out there thinking “man, only if they released PacMan for a _6th_ time!” just for their jaw to drop
I'm like, "Man, if only _I_ owned every version of Pac-Man on Switch!"

Which is just what we need after...MORE Pac-Man!

"PacMan on the Switch Nintendo?!? WHEN?!?!" 🔪
yupp I see it
For those who didn't know the Pacman Championship Nes version works on NES emulators its a legit NES rom
And it's one of the best NES games ever. Released 30 years after the console was relevant.
should note that the game uses the Namco 106 mapper which features expansion audio, the same expansion audio that is also featured in games such as Megami Tensei II, Erika to Satoru no Yume Bouken, and Mappy Kids
the cartridge pins for said expansion audio is only present on Famicom consoles, as NES consoles removed the feature so unless you plan on playing the game on Famicom than you'll have to modify the NES to re-enable expansion audio otherwise you'll be missing quite a bit of the games sound

It sucks that Ms. Pac-Man has copywrite issues with AtGames because it's so much better than regular Pac Man
I have the Sega Genesis version, and it always made me chuckle to see the hair go out backwards when you hit the boost button.
The Sega Genesis and SNES versions of Ms Pac-Man are the best. You can even play with another player on the maze at the same time

You should definetly try the 2 player mode in CE2Plus. You can absolutely play it alone and it's really really good and fun.
Scott! Namco Museum is fun but lacked some great classics such as Mappy and Ms. Pacman.
I also like King and Balloon.
I'm glad to know he records these at two in the morning
Ms. Pac-Man? Seems funny you mention her, since Namco has tried its damndest to erase her from existence.
Switch has beaten Wii in sales, so of course the most popular casual console has to have as many Pac-Man ports as possible.
