This pleases me.
Immensely!

I'm with you.

 

[Guymelef]

Ace Combat 7: Storm Wings?

Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown

 

[GoldandBlue]

Eh, give me Klonoa Maker and then I'll be there.

 

[InsaneTiger]

RIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDDDDGE RACEEEERRRR Maker please.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

If this is a Switch game, it would be really smart move to have a Maker line on Switch with all different types of games.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Eh, give me Klonoa Maker and then I'll be there.

That might be tricky to design with all the layers and 3D looping that go into a Klonoa level. Simple 2D games make more sense. More Klonoa is always welcome though!

 

[jon bones]

oh fuck

 

[DeathoftheEndless]

Making my own pac levels is not that exciting of a prospect to me, but I'd be interested to see how it would work.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Dark Souls amiibo costumes!

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Interesting...the current season of Kamen Rider (which is merchandised by Bandai-Namco) is video-game themed and has already featured Pac-Man as a major character in the first film of the show. The summer film has a form for the main character that seems to be inspired by Mario Maker somewhat, wonder if there's a connection here?

 

[WordAssassin]

I mean I love Pacman, but what exactly can they do in a Maker type game other than create more elaborate mazes?

Uh yes!?

I can totally understand this game not appealing to everyone but c'mon, the actual point of the game is super straight-forward: user created Pac-Man maps

If they do nothing but rip off Mario Maker to a T then there would be lots of skins too from all the different iterations of Pac-Man. Maybe they'll even let us go 3/4th view and jump like the SNES Pac-Man games? Or if they'll restrict it to a single screen (OG Arcade style) or let them scroll around for some really wild, giant maps?

But hell, even if I don't think I'd be very good at designing levels myself I'd buy it just to play the levels Namco and other people create.

 

[Incitemaybe]

I would absolutely love this. Please happen.

 

[Possumowner]

Oh boy,I love this 😍

 

[Fancolors]

sounds like a neat idea if they allow people to use stuff from other Pacman games like DX into the maps. Would be neat if it had amiibo integration similar to Mario Maker

 

[PSFan]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

Oh here we go. Now Nintendo invented "Maker" games, huh? Sorry to tell you Nintendo is super late to that party.

 

[Herb Alpert]

ugh. Not feeling this...

 

[True Fire]

what exactly can they do in a Maker type game other than create more elaborate mazes?

Great idea! Let's charge 59.99 for it. If we really get on Nintendo's good side we might be able to milk some Amiibos out of it too

 

[Durante]

 

[gunstarhero]

PacMaker would be pretty dope - especially if you can create stuff in the Champion Edition vein.

Also, give me RAMPS!

 

[Cozmogramma]

Hopefully it's something. We need more "Maker"-games.

 

[JershJopstin]

Oh here we go. Now Nintendo invented "Maker" games, huh? Sorry to tell you Nintendo is super late to that party.

He didn't even imply that. Chill.

 

[Tregard]

If I can't make a 1 to 1 recreation of Pac-Land, no buy.

 

[Sylverstone14]

I'll assume we'll see styles such as:

Pac-Man / Ms. Pac-Man
Pac-Mania
Pac-Man Championship Edition

Oh here we go. Now Nintendo invented "Maker" games, huh? Sorry to tell you Nintendo is super late to that party.

Reaching, aren't we?

 

[Jonneh3003]

Great idea! Let's charge 59.99 for it. If we really get on Nintendo's good side we might be able to milk some Amiibos out of it too

You alright?

 

[Kouriozan]

This will be good, hope to hear more about it soon.

 

[8byte]

I hope they include different ghost routines so we can recreate stuff like CEX II.

 

[petran79]

I'd like a breeding simulator instead

 

[JMTHEFOX]

This sounds like it has a lot a potential! Imagine if they implement the powerups, enemies, bosses from all of the PAC-MAN games. ALso, they let the player switch graphic styles a la CEDX+.

I'd buy that in a heartbeat.

 

[Steiner]

I went through the exact same series of emotions when I heard about Super Mario Maker...
"That sounds incredible!"
"Wait, how would that even work?"
*imagines the possibilities*
"Omg I need this in my life."

Hoping this turns out to be more than a trademark, and hoping it turns out wonderful.

This screams mobile to me. Hope I am wrong, though.

Doesn't scream mobile to me, but it does scream "portable," if you catch my drift.

 

[Brunire]

This screams mobile to me. Hope I am wrong, though.

 

[TZchassis]

I hope that it is made by Namco & Nintendo. Because that would probably mean that Zelda Maker is possible at some point.

 

[BigEmil]

Megaman maker would make more sense.

 

[PantsuJo]

Ridge Racer Maker when?

 

[Cartho]

__________ Maker trend has begun. Able to share levels created? Cross platform? This could be big!

Hunie Pop Maker let's do this.

 

[Seik]

What?!

FUCKING BRING IT!

I'll make the most torturous mazes!

 

[Lifeline]

Oh here we go. Now Nintendo invented "Maker" games, huh? Sorry to tell you Nintendo is super late to that party.

Didn't invent it, but they're using the "Maker" subtitle.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Oh here we go. Now Nintendo invented "Maker" games, huh? Sorry to tell you Nintendo is super late to that party.

That person never said anything about invented. Calm down and read. Stop being a fanboy for once.

Anyways...

PAC man Maker makes a lot of sense.

 

[theaffection]

Maybe they bring back a mode thats like the Pac Man Vs game on Gamecube

 

[yyr]

I don't get it, what's the point of a pac man maker?

Design your own mazes.
Determine placement of dots, energizers, and fruit.
Determine number, placement, and possibly even the behavior of ghosts.
Compete on others' mazes and try for high scores. Integrated leaderboards for EVERY creation.

I could blow a few hundred hours easily with just this, without getting bored. But hopefully they've got more ideas and won't stop there.

Ridge Racer Maker when?

Hopefully you're not offended if I tell you that I just drooled all over myself reading that

 

[Phoenix944]

Sounds really boring :/

 

[Father_Brain]

Doesn't Namco Bandai usually hold their pre-E3 press event in April? If so, I would guess that this will be unveiled there (later this week?) along with Code Vein and Storm Wings, whatever the latter is.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

And every maze was a penis.

 

[IrishNinja]

dont know what it is or how that'd work but i want it

 

[Syrus]

Bomberman maker would be legit too

 

[score01]

I mean I love Pacman, but what exactly can they do in a Maker type game other than create more elaborate mazes?

Have you ever played paceman adventures in time? If they take some inspiration from that this could be epic.

 

[Persona7]

I want this.

 

[Nitpicker_Red]

... Or it's just a factory-management game where you design Pac-Man-themed pies and cheese wheels (à la factory balls). =D

 

[Yukinari]

It would have to combine powerups and graphical styles from every arcade entry to be worthwhile.

Like the gates and super form from Super Pac-Man, the jumping from Pac-Mania, the huge ghost lines from Championship Edition.

Maybe even add a 3D style like Ms Pac-Man Maze Madness

 

[ThatStupidLion]

you KNOW sonic maker is coming, esp if sonic mania knocks it out of the park

not sure how deep a pac-man maker will be. actually am surprised this hasnt come along sooner

 

[wildfire]

My guess: Under the Mario Maker brand, switch exclusive.

No way.
