Which titles will this collection include? According to this press release, it'll feature "classic Pac-Man titles as well as newer arcade releases, allowing gamers to play through the evolution of Pac-Man from his humble beginnings from 1980 through 2008’s Pac-Man Championship Edition and 2010’s Pac-Man Battle Royale."
Unfortunately, all of us 3DS, PC, PS3, Wii U and/or Xbox 360 owners are going to have to wait until sometime this winter to get our four-player Pac-Man Battle Royale on.
In the meantime, PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 owners with copies of Pac-Man: Championship Edition DX can look forward to downloading a free update this summer that'll add a slew of new content--including "additional DLC mazes, music and graphics including classic Dig Dug and Rally-X sprites"--to this day-go digital title.

Nifty - no argument from me. :)
ReplyDeleteThat screencap looks like it comes from a crazy-good idea. I'd love to try it out!
ReplyDeleteMy only argument would be that I'd like to see it released physically (via retail), too, but I understand them going digital-only, too.
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Justin! I've read a lot about Battle Royale, but have yet to play it. This winter!
ReplyDeleteI'd buy it just for Championship Edition DX alone.
ReplyDeleteI can't quite tell, though, if this collection will include both CE and CE DX or just CE, Igor. Only CE is mentioned for sure in the PR. Anyway, I actually prefer CE, to tell you the truth, and I very much look forward to playing that on my 3DS in the future--along with Battle Royale, of course.
ReplyDeleteI don't see Ms. Pacman in there. Any idea why she was snubbed?
ReplyDeleteWell, they haven't announced all of the games, oily chi--as far as I know. All the PR says at the moment is Pac-Man CE and Pac-Man Battle Royale, although it also suggests at least the original Pac-Man will be in there, too. Anyway, I'm definitely hoping Ms. Pac-Man also will be included, as I personally think that's the best Pac-Man game in existence!
ReplyDeleteAgree! How many fruits and vegetables have you collected. I believe I got: cherry, strawberry, grape, pear, orange, eggplant...and maybe an apple(?)
ReplyDeleteFrom which game? Ms. Pac-Man? Woof, I can't remember, as it's been a while since I've played it. I didn't realize an eggplant was included in the game, though...
