Topic: wishful thinking: Pac-Man VS-DS

[norebonomis]

god i'd love to play this it looked SO FUN! anyone heard of the posibility? it's probably never gonna happen right? damn it!

Aren't there two pacman games for the DS already? I liked Pacman VS and it would work well on the DS, but I never thought there was much game there. Fun for about an hour then it gets old.

A while ago I was complaining that they should package Pac Pix, Pac and Roll, and a DS Pac Man Vs together in one large sized game cart.  Especially if it's been a while after Pac Pix and Pac and Roll have been out so they may be cheaper already anyways.  The whole thing could be like $40 or something.  I'd buy it.

And Pac Man Vs is an amazing party game.  It's super easy for non-gamers to get into and it's a helluva lot of fun.  Plus it's pac man!  You can't go wrong with Pac man*!

*I mean the traditional pac man...not the crappy 3D ones which are really mediocre.

MR MOJO I THINK YOU'RE ONTO SOMETHING WITH THAT BUNDLE! games like pac pix and mr driller, cheap puzzle games i'd rather download from the revolution than pay for having a hard copy.

PacMan Versus needs at least 3 players, might be hard to find two other people with a DS. I'd rather they release an updated version for the Rev at launch (maybe as a pack-in) that shows off Rev-DS connectivity.

Not with WiFi!

If Pac Man VS DS was to be made (which I think would be AWESOME, Pac Man VS rocks), it would be the FOURTH Pac Man game on DS, Pac Man World 3 is apparently coming out on DS.

I'm sorry, but the whole concept of Pac-Man VS DS is kind of pointless.  On the GCN version the TV showed everyone small pieces of the action, and the GBA showed the player using Pac-Man the whole screen.  But if you're playing as Pac-Man there's no need to view just part of the action (i.e. the TV).  So if everyone is playing using a seperate screen (such as the case with GBA or DS multiplayer games) you really don't need to have two screens.  Your single screen will just show you part of the action or all the action, depending on if you're playing as a ghost or Pac-Man.

Well jsut because you dont have to take advantage of both screens doesnt mean the idea is pointless.

Meh, have the top screen display the scores and maybe bonus objectives ("Get hit by Clyde", "eat Pinky", "go 30 seconds without munching a dot", etc). And allow the ghosts to draw lines on the touchscreen to coordinate their actions.

16 player pac man vs. featuring  pac man, pac man jr and ms pacman, vs all the ghosties...

oooh.... nintendo pleeeeease....

somebody call them up for me? thanks....

[KDR_11k]

It's "Ohhh, Namco, please!" because Pac-Man is Namco's fault.

And for 16 players you'd need a fourth Pac Man, no?

[UncleBob]

Well, there's always Baby Pac-Man (different from Pac-Man Jr.)

And Pac-Man vs. rocked.
