The reason why I still have my copy of the NES Tengen version of Ms. Pac-Man (called "always-on" "Pac-Booster" there and in the Genesis and SNES versions, plays lovely with the NES Advantage).

in for both! love good collections, and CE DX was a viable GOTY candidate, so good
I don't know. I can't understand it. Surely it would take very little effort to make a Wii U port and stick it on the eShop. That would be my preferred platform thanks to off-TV play. Now I'll just get it on PS3 I suppose.
Wii U is getting even less 3rd party love than Wii. Like, way less
At least Wii U is getting Battle Royale!

listen to the mad man
Does it include Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures?

Sir!
So the Museum pack doesn't include DX or DX+? That's kind of a drag.
Personally I hope this includes Super Pac-Man and Pac and Pal.
Two things I'd love to see, as a Pac-Man fan:
Jr. Pac-Man Widescreen - This game features left-right scrolling on a maze wider than a vertical monitor. With widescreen TVs there can be less or maybe even zero scrolling.
Baby Pac-Man on Pinball Arcade - This pinball / Pac-Man crossover is another weird game that should be preserved.
I grew up on Pac-Man but I think Pac-Man CE DX is the best Pac-Man game to date. Almost all of the spinoffs and hacks can't compare to the four greatest Pac-Man games:
1. Pac-Man Championship Edition DX
2. Pac-Man
3. Pac-Man Championship Edition
4. Pac-Man Vs.

I said it's likely CEDX is in on Wii U and 3DS versions and DX+ comes with it, it'd be a very odd omission, and it's only mentioned for the other platforms since they have the game already and it's a free update.

Battle Royale is not that good. Seriously, one of the biggest letdowns for me.
I wish they would put both CE and CE DX on 3DS, the Museum collection seems so anemic.

What about Pac-Man World?... that game is ace.
Bump! New screens released today, including this one of Battle Royale:
I don't understand why the border is there, I thought the game is HD? Kind of disappointing. The only screen that doesn't have the border like this is a shot from Pac-Man CE.
Hopefully the border is optional anyway, as that would be a sucky way to play the game in multiplayer.
I saw the screens at http://nintendoeverything.com/pac-man-museum-screenshots-2/

Ew, that's not Pac-Man Arrangement.

It's not? Says it is.

Indeed. Well, there are two games with that name, one is HOLY CRAPBALLS AMAZING and the other is a fairly lifeless extra slapped onto one of the dozens of Namco Museum discs.
This Nintendo Life forum post says it's out December 5th. Not sure how reliable that is.
Apparently, only the Nintendo versions include CE.

The screen above is clearly the 360 version. Unless that's from CEDX+ and was mistakenly included in the post.
Or Wii U and 3DS are getting both CE and CEDX and the others are just getting CEDX?
Haha good point. I don't know what the story is.
Out of curiosity, is the HOLY CRAPBALLS AMAZING version the one that was released for the GBA?
That game was quite good. I remember playing it a good bit.
Didn't know there was another one called Arrangement.

I'll look this gift horse directly in the mouth and say I'm disappointed you can't get Battle Royale add a standalone title.
But oh God, I didn't think I'd live to see this day...

Yup.
It was originally part of an arcade collection (with other awesome classic Namco "arrangement" remakes). I think it is also on the Namco Museum disc on GameCube, Xbox and PS2.
Triple Da G.O.D!

I wonder what version of Pac-Attack will be in this?

needs 2 extra inches
Is there anything "Free" about a "Free update to add DLC support"? I would've preferred a paid expansion with sizable content, but I guess that model isn't even good for business these days. Pacman CE DX is still one of my most played games though, so if the DLC is reasonably priced and adds to the experience I'll definitely bite.
Edit: had no idea this was old news.

I miss the interactive "virtual museums" of the PS1 Namco Museum games. Would kill for a "Complete" version that combines all the volumes into one(with extra titles included), a full explorable virtual museum complete with game room sectors unique for each game, and HD production art, manual pages and flyers(as well as an expanded library with all the interesting facts and history about Namco).
The 'World' games seem a bit beyond the scope of this Museum. Ms Pac-Man stands out as an obvious omission. Not that I care, we've got enough versions of that game.
Is there a licensed version for home that has the standard speed used in arcades now? (I.e. fast, not the original slow speed...)
