Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Should be a little easier to play it the way its meant to be played

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Wait this includes Tank Force?
That was a HUGE part of my childhood. Everyone in my family played it: parents, siblings, EVERYONE.
Guess I'll have to pick this up for the next time we have a family get together.

Wait... how will the Switch output a picture to the TV for ghosts and still have a seperate screen for the Pacman player?

Multiple Switches? Online multiplayer?

So does this confirm Switch will have download play then? Because good luck finding 3 other people with this game otherwise.
Edit: Or I guess technically 2 systems would be enough?
Edit 2: No wait, you can only connect 2 controllers to a switch in wireless play (unless in LAN mode). lol I give up.

Emulated?

The original was just one Gameboy Advance and three players on the TV screen so you should only need two Switches. For four player you would need to add a TV or two more Switches.
Is this an actual system-level limitation or just an assumption because of how Mario Kart handled it?

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Wait, this has Rolling Thunder, Rolling Thunder 2, and Splatterhouse?
I didn't realize they were putting interesting games on here.
Well, depending on how good the port/emulation quality is, I might have to buy it.

2-4.
One player will be Pac-Man (1 screen), the other 3 players share a screen, or have one on their own.
Plus it could be one of those cases were this one is just an extra/multiplayer only game that recquires otjer Switch units.
Though I see them just throwing splitscreen and allow 4 joycons.

woah ok I might consider getting this now
but how would it work...

I'm considering buying this but it is disappointing that this doesn't have more stuff in it, specifically the Pac Man CE games. Namco seems to be pretty inconsistent with these Museums. The 360 Museum was really good with several Xbox Arcade versions of games plus non-online offerings for more obscure stuff. Also, I seem to remember the PS2/GCN version having some good stuff including many of the original Arrangement games (not the newer ones found on the 360 game). It'd be also great to see more modern games like Tokyo Wars or Ridge Racer or something.

Man, and I thought rounding up three GBA owners was expensive, managing to get two Switch owners is gonna be even moreso.

I read 'Tank Force' as 'Tokyo Wars' and got super excited for a brief moment before reality came crashing back down.
Shucks.
Shucks.
No, because Mario kart can link up 6 system when in 2P local (so it limited 2 controllers)
If it just link up one system I think it can link up to 7 controllers

But the game requires at least 2 distinct screens (1 for pacman and 1 shared between 3 ghosts)
So It should require at least two Switch Consoles.
You have it reversed. It was one GBA and three controllers.

Really? I know several switch owners with more planning on buying soon

I'm convinced you don't actually know how this works. This set would at most require 2 Switches, 3 split joycons sharing a screen and one person with a joycon and his own screen
Worst Nintendo E3 press conference of my life. Literally gave up on Nintendo after that.

I only know one other dude that has one... but he is kind of an ass.

That's $600 worth of hardware.
To replicate Pac-Man Vs. at the time you'd only need roughly $260 worth. ($100 GC, $100 GBA, 2 extra $30 controllers)
Edit: Forgot you'd need an extra copy of Namco Museum Switch since the Switch lacks any form of Download Play as the GCN version and DS version did.

This seems like the most likely way they'll handle it. Probably wireless Lan and *hopefully* online. I'm not holding my breath on the last one though.
...come to think, like Mario Party, online probably sounds better in concept than in practice.
And a house (~$200,000) 3 prostitutes to simulate friends ($400-$???)
We're close to a quarter million dollars here, guys.
Assimetric, the worst kind of symmetry
It was. It was just called Nintendoland, and involved Mario rather than Pacman.
Yeah yeah, but it would have been fun to have had Pacman VS on the Wii U screen.
