Title: Mr. Driller DS and Pac Pix Official Sites Open
Post by: joeamis on October 01, 2004, 09:04:30 AM

Mr. Driller DS and Pac Pix Official Sites Open.  Both are the Japanese sites, but this shows the games will probably be launch titles in Japan and quite possibly NA as well.  Pac Pix  Mr. Driller DS

Wagga wagga!

I didn't expect to see Pac Pix as a standalone game. I don't know how this will hold up over any significant play time when you're just running around a piece of paper. Maybe I'll pick up Pac Pix Vs. :¬]

Genre: The hand drawing action

Those are always funny.

Pac Pix looks cool but like Renny said it doesn't look like it has enough lasting power to be it's own standalone product.  They should include the original Pac-Man (and hopefully Ms. Pac-Man as well) to add more to it.  There's no Pac-Man comp on the DS so they might as well tie the titles in together.  They could include Pac-Man Vs as well which would translate to the DS pretty well.

Pac Pix looks so different than when I played it at E3... I liked the old look of the ghosts better, I think. I wonder how they managed to make it a full game, I really do... x_x;

I think the two pac Man games being made, the picture one, and the 3-d one should be put in the same game. I think I'm gonna get Mr. Diller at launch, seems pretty cool.

You mean Pac'n'Roll, and Pac-Pix? Yeah, the ideal game would be Pac-Man DS! It could have Pac-Pix, Pac'n'Rollm and a Nintendo DS adaptation of Pac-Man VS. *beam*

But, depending on the price point of Nintendo DS game right now, having Pac-Pix by itself could be just fine. If the prices of Nintendo DS games are low (which they should be), gamers will buy more games. Imagine going to your local game store and leaving with 3 or 4 Nintendo DS games in one shot. Also, Nintendo Power magazine can include demos, since the new media (the game cards) are cheap enough to produce. They can keep the price low and still proft, yet, they can also not worry about giving demos away in promotion.

GCN discs are cheap, but we don't see many demos. I guess it would be easier to create demos for these types of games, but Nintendo doesn't seem too motivated. Maybe things will be different this time.

We will find out tomorrow the price of games right?  Or would it be very late tonight since it's like already tomorrow in Japan?  Anyways I've heard for months now that DS games will cost $35 so if your planning on walking out the store with 3-4, you're gonna need alotta moola.
