Pac-Land and PAC-MAN collection snuck onto the Wii U Virtual Console in North America yesterday, and are available for a "special introductory price." Even though they weren't officially named in the current 30% eShop sale, the game's appear to be similarly discounted until June 16.

Pac-Land, originally on the NES, is available in the US for $3.49, suggesting a regular price of $4.99. PAC-MAN Collection was a GBA title, and is available for $4.89, suggesting a non-discounted price of $5.99.

The surprise release of the two titles (most Wii U digital releases are made available on Thursdays, not Tuesdays) was likely timed to coincide with the reveal that Bandai Namco's iconic PAC-MAN will be playable in Nintendo's Smash Bros. games for the Wii U and 3DS.

I want the Game Boy Virtual Console Pac-Man to be updated to activate the multi-player.

Is Ms. Pac-Man in that collection? It's easily my favorite in the series and it'd be a much tougher sell for me if it's not in there. Or even better, bring VC Arcade to Wii U and let me buy the actual arcade version.

No. The other thing -- on GBA collection you either palying in squashed mode, or have to deal with scrolling because of GBA's low resolution.
Still GBA collection has some very cool modes.

Is Pac-Land supposed to be any good? They seem to have based a whole Smash stage on it . . .

I'm so happy namco has decided to... un-Pac

YEAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Namco, while you're in a Pac-Man kind of mood, how about throwing Pac-Man Vs. up on the Wii U eShop?

I always wanted to try Pac-In-Time (puns!), but that cartridge was extremely difficult to find. This is coming from someone who has Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, and EarthBound on SNES. I originally mistook it for Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures which was awful.

Hey now, Pac-Man 2 I will grant was not that good of a game but, it did have its amusing moments.
