Despite its name, Pac-Man Championship Edition DX is a different game from the first game, with both games having different rules and mechanics.
Toru Iwatani made CE1, but he was not involved with CEDX.
Can you please explain the differences? You can make it brief, if you don't feel like being a nerd about it.
@@Pickelrye CE1 is a lot more reminiscent of the original arcade game, without ghost chains or bombs to remain a true and faithful modernization of pac-man w/o adding too much new stuff. would recommend if the classic PM gameplay style is more your thing compared to how DX handles it
CEDX was a blast, I preferred that one over the original
Basically, the original C.E. is just you and four ghosts, while DX added the ghost trains, bombs, slow-mo.
About the only thing C.E. changes up from the arcade formula is turn buffering, where you hold a direction early and sparks fly, which is a great edition for analog sticks.
The originals are too hard to control without the turn buffering, that's why I prefer the original C.E. over the arcade games. It's built for consoles, instead of arcade emulations really meant to be played with arcade sticks.
0:11 Oh God thanks for reminding me that the Pac-Man TV show exists.
Nintendo land is definitely my favorite party game of all time. I’ve had so much fun with it over the years and am stoked for the video!
agreed
@Safwaan at the last second of the video he revealed that he was doing a Nintendo land one
I actually like CE because it doesn't have the overly flashy non-rewarding extra ghost eating effects, and rather relies on your skill to chain them on your own.
T-posing pac-man is a National treasure
What you were talking about was DX+, not the original.
The original CE was released in 2007 and was kickstarted by Microsoft, as the original rerelease proved to be popular on XBLA. They asked Bandai Namco to make a new Pac-Man game and hold a world competition in New York, which would be the Pac-Man World Championship.
For DX, the development team wanted the game to focus on the excitement of fleeing from ghosts, and to appeal towards a more casual audience. Early prototypes experimented with increasing the number of power pellets and ghosts, leading to the sleeping ghost and "ghost train" mechanics being added. The neon art-style was inspired by the fluorescent lights used in early LCD handheld games, and was intended to help make DX stand out among other games. It was the first game released under the Namco Generations label, used for remakes of older Namco video games.
The + was added to DX in 2013 adding DLC and was also released to Steam for the first time.
So, to be technical, the first CE game for PC was DX+, but the first CE game was in 2007.
Gee, can't wait for that stinky kid to reply with nerd emojis!
Based off the title, I thought this would be about the original Championship Edition, not the DX one, but this is a pretty good video! Goes into why the game is so great very nicely.
3:16 you know what they say a coffee a day keeps the sleep away
Massive shoutout to the Pac-Man CE Famicom port, it's basically Pac-Man Championship Edition but it's on the Famicom/NES. You can get it as part of a collection of Namo's Famicom ports either on Steam or consoles. It's really well made, even emulating a custom sound chip for some really great sounding chiptunes.
I don't know if this is controversial, but Pacman CE:DX is NOT "the first game". The game is fundamentally entirely different than Pacman CE. I would argue the real first game is superior to DX, and that it keeps in the spirit of Pacman even better, as in there's always the 4 ghosts, there's no ghost trailing, but also, there is that satisfying "eat a bunch of ghosts" at the end of a sequence.
Honestly, I know this video is old, but I'd LOVE a video on the real original Championship Edition.
The NES demake included in Namco Museum Archives Vol. 1 on the Switch is also a must-play!!
Takes me back to playing Tengen Ms. Pacman on crazy mode while also being the masterpiece that is Championship edition. I bought the collection for that alone. Bless Tim Rogers.
10/10 convinced me to go buy Pacman Championship Edition with my covid stimulus check.
Iwatani was NOT involved in the creation of CE DX, circa 2010. He did however, design the original CE1, circa 2007, without the ghost trains and all that found in DX.
You forgot to mention how Pacman got into Smash Brothers. Its a big part of the Pac-Man timeline because he canonically can beat up Ness.
Also great video Dane, I liked the egg bit
If Pac-Maze was in Ultimate, it’d be worth the mention.
@@Jellyman1129
Yea the biggest disappointment of that game :(
@@rumblebird9888 Agreed. However they did update the ghost models in Pac-Man’s smash attacks and in the assist trophy, so maybe they’ll bring the stage back. I sure hope they do.
So this still doesn't explain why you don't have more subs.
Seriously you're on the level of most top-level reviewers imo when it comes to your script; this is really, really good stuff.
Pretty good editing
I was specifically looking for this comment
Because I completely agree
nice video. just so you know, though, dx isn't actually the first game, nor an expansion, it's a full on new game. i'd definitely recommend giving the first one a go. it's not on pc but you can emulate the xbox 360 or psp versions of the game
I remember playing Pac Man Battle royalle at my local movie theater, sadly they replaced it with a crappy bar
Coffee has beans, so it counts right?
thought this would be about the original championship edition, not DX
You should review steamworld dig
Championship Edition DX is fun. Also, Pac-Land was one of the earliest side-scrolling platformers to come out and served as a reference for the creation of Super Mario Bros. instead of Namco wanting to ride on the success of that genre.
Ah Yes, My favorite Video Game...

You should now change you name to pizzamissingaslicefan 1112
This review is a lot more interesting then most, so good job man.
not the pop filter!
Pac-man battle royale ... Well now there is pac-man 99
The only sad thing about CEDX+, is that it's not available on PS4/PS5. It is still available on Steam, however. And the Xbox 360 version is backward compatible on Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X.
I actually think Pac-Man is more of a ten out of ten than Last of Us because it's a video game first. Not trying to be anything it isn't (a movie). Grandparents are more likely to pick up Pac-Man on the spot and have fun with it lmao. Meanwhile they'll be left scratching their heads about how to reload or find secrets or whatever.
Basically presentation doesn't matter in the scheme of things when bad games are able to look great.
Just waiting for him to do Mr game & watch now
**Patience intensifies**
yeah
DX was overkill, just like 2. Too much flash, and not enough substance.
No skill required to get good. Bombs were ridiculous, and the slow down
at turns or collisions means, you don't need reflexes.
The first CE problem was the time limits. Should have had an arcade mode.
Also too many extra men, and too easy to get them.
The original original is still the best.
later

i got ghostly adventures 1 for the xbox 360 after specifically asking for it for christmas like 7 years ago and i never bothered to beat the first level
Same, but for the 2nd one and not at Christmas. At Grainger Games (closed British game store)
Wow I only played Pac-Man championship 2 and it looks like a complete different game than the first one
i think there very stupid for not putting the DX plus version of champion edition in museum plus
I still think the OG version (not DX) is better.
Hey Danerade I have a suggestion, can you do a video on the bloons td series (I know there is a weird puzzle game), I personally think it is arguably the best tower defense franchise.
*Nice to see people talk about this game!
I see you're playing CE1DX+ and you're going to do CE2 soon but don't forget about CE2+ (switch exclusive) and Pacman CE NES Hidden in the Namcot collection!*
Amazing review!
Pac-Man 99 is just Pac-Man Battle Royale 2...and I love it!
Y e s i a g r e e
Anyways...
Your channel is SOOOOOO *EXTREMELY* underrated!
Your channel is *p o g*
Rick roll below
Don't go further if you don't want to get rickrolled
Jk
*L*
Ah...
The game that i wasn't able to download from a pirate site...
Have you learned from your mistakes trying to pirate games
You can made a video about jackboxgames?
I was about to comment... what many others already did. Original Championship Edition for the 360 was the bomb which restarted it all. Historically one of the best and most successful "downloadable console games" ever.
I love equally Championship edition and c.e. dx. Championship is more interesting when it cames to challenge because ghosts have similar behavior to original. Dx is more a Quick pick and play game. But i feel the slowdown when near ghosts is more a excuse to offer a easier dificulty to modern players. Don t get me wrong. Both are great, and probably the Only worth sucessors of the original
MY GOD...
This guy needs more subscribers!!
+1 sub
I like pac-man
6:02 & Knuckles
Yeah
*A g r e e d*
The King Is Back
Pacman 256 is underrated
way slower gameplay than championship, but very interesting and addicting concept
“Maximize nostalgia” and that’s where the issues begin.....
can we all agree that the Pac-Man Championship Edition and Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 soundtracks are absolute bangers
I just bought Pacman Championship Edition 2, the sequel to this, and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Pac-Man’s kinda lossing its track. But still alive. Namco can still change things.
I had that game 4:34
Personally I love all the installments in this series but I like the second game more due to it’s fun gameplay and having to be more focused in my opinion. DX and the original are still classics and the NES Demake is also impressive.
It's honestly really cool and inspiring to see someone closer to my age making good UA-cam content
Too bad the sequel is fucking garbage
And the version on the switch is not this deluxe version :(
I can't play the good game on my switch
glad we both use bluestacks my bro
i remember playing cedx for the first time on mobile... and after playing it on the console/pc version, i could tell that pac man's speed was super nerfed
This guy is a newbie he should try out the real first Pac Man Championship Edition from 2007
I'm pretty sure it's the same thing but with less content.
@@Pyrodiacno it's not the modes aren't even the same nor the achievements dx was meant to be a sequel to the 2007 pac man championship edition game
@@Pyrodiacalso Toru Iwatani had nothing to do with DX he retired after he designed CE so no it's not the same game
4:29 um actually they didn't ask cartoon network they asked disney to make the show for their Disney xd network
Pac Man and The Ghostly Adventures was aired on Disney XD, not Cartoon Network
dude i got the game yesterday for 2.49 because a steam sale
which is a even BIGGER steal
4:26 obvious correction: it's actually Disney XD (and Disney Channel to some), not CN.
Hi.
I'm from the future.
Pac-Man 99 exists and it's fucking AWESOME
I liked the last 2 3D Pac-Man games based on the show at the time
I watch this video twice just to watch the game play
That's how good I think this game is
I find the T-poseing Pac-man looking very, very-unique.
I either have this or the sequel on iOS. Sadly, the swiping controls are ass.
nice video buddy i really enjoyed it and gave you a sub keep up the good work
Ghostly Adventures was Disney XD, not Cartoon Network
Pacman eats fruits just like danerade cause hes poaggers
That was a fantastic video - you just earned a sub!
I hate to be the one to break it to you, but the original Championship Edition didn't have sleeping ghosts. DX is sorta the sequel.
...when will game companies learn how to COUNT!?
Yeah championship edition dx is actually the 2nd championship while CE2 is the 3rd one
Danerade should make a video on Psychonauts
Convinced me to play the NES version
Bababooey
Game i wished i knew before n°184840
And this game is on the Steam Deck too!
4:27 umm that was Disney XD not Cartoon Network
I love pacman ce DX+ I play it all the time
4:34 i ave that game on the ps3 is kinda fun..
2:03 Well hey, we have it for real this time
well you predicted Pac-Man 99
Aw sh*t here comes pacman
The apple arcade thing is good.
Is Rolling Thunder next?
this review made me buy DX+
I can't wait for a separate review on 2, especially when it has mixed reviews.
I'd like to hear more of your thoughts on why you liked it.
My 1st Championship edition game was Pac-man Championship Edition 2 Plus. It was very fun and I never really cared for the score all that much (Sort of). I would recommend people to definitely play it. It's on the switch too!
Talk about psychonauts lol
The sonic mania of Pac-Man
I mean he's now in minecraft
not to mention when you die the clock still runs during the animation causing you to loose a good chunk of time.
Scott would be proud
it's 75% off now!
I really enjoy the game for the music as well. Cause holy crap is it energetic
what a good video qwq
Those kids One kid 2 kid
I love this game. Just got it a month ago after being a pac fan for years. This vid is incredible. Subscribed 👍
you forgot CE 2 xD
Thank you for making a video on this lol, I’ve always loved this version of Pac-Man
6:00 and knuckles
