Miyamoto's Pac-Man Oddity Gets GC Bundled

Posted by simoniker on from the blinky-upset-at-not-being-standalone dept.

Thanks to GamerFeed for the news that Shigeru Miyamoto's remake of Pac-Man for GameCube/GBA will make it to consumers through a variety of bundle deals. The title, shown at E3 this year, has "...one player onto a Game Boy Advance and three players on the GameCube. The GBA player plays as Pac-Man, and he or she has a view of the maze similar to the one featured in the classic arcade maze game. The three GameCube players control the ghosts. The ghosts can see only their immediate surroundings, which makes tracking down Pac-Man a bit of a mystery." It's been announced that the GameCube exclusive "...will be packaged with Namco's upcoming [budget re-release] Pac-Man World 2... [and given] to gamers who pre-order the game I-Ninja... [and given to those who] buy the game R: Racing Evolution."

    I can't help but think that if you could actually convince three other people to play this with you that it would be fun for roughly 20 to 30 minutes tops.

    I always save my last mod point to mod up a good troll. You people are too serious.

      You're the guy that says this about orgies too, right?

      If you get three broads buck naked and drunk, those 20 to 30 minutes are well worth it my niggah.

    I hate you. Your low self-esteem makes it difficult to enjoy games made by people smarter than you.

    Am I the only one who sees this as a simple fantrap to sell more gba and gba adapters to gamecube owners? first Crystal chronicles and now this.. is ridiculous. And pacman? I mean come on, they could at least have used Mario. this is a complete insult to gamecube users anyway you slice it.

      nobody is forcing you to buy anything: I didn't see nintendo reach into your pocket and steal your wallet, replacing it with a pacman bonus disc. you can just as readily go without. or ask your mommy and daddy for it at christmas time.

      OH NO, I WANT TO WATCH DVD'S, BUT I HAVE TO BUY A DVD PLAYER! PERISH THE THOUGHT, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO PLUG THIS INTO MY VCR!!!!
