Namco announces plans for Pac-Man Vs.

GCN News | Free with R: Racing Victory
Namco announced today that it's EA published title R: Racing Victory will include a free copy of the Nintendo EAD developed Pac-Man Vs.

Designed by Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, Pac-Man Vs. allows one play with a Game Boy Advance (connected to the Gamecube) to play as Pac-Man, while three other players with control pads play as the ghosts. If/When a ghost catches Pac-Man, the successful ghost gets to play as the hungry yellow guy on the Game Boy Advance, and the game continues until a predetermined scoring cap is hit.

"We are very excited to have a new addition to the Pac-Man family," said Kevin Yanagihara, Director of Namco Ltd. "By incorporating this classic character with the unique connectivity features of both the Game Boy Advance and GameCube, players are offered a new style of gameplay that will bring them closer to the competition than ever before."

It is currently unknown whether Pac-Man Vs. will ship in its standalone form as well (as part of the Player's Choice version of Pac-Man World 2).

Pac-Man Vs. will be available on March 22nd when R: Racing Victory releases.

Aw, I wish I didn't have to buy some lame game just for Pac-Man Vs.

I wish they would have kept the option of getting it with Pacman Worlds 2 like in the US because at least that is a decent game (and at a budget price too)

I was sure that the US version of I-Ninja came with it too.....but my copy didn't :'(

I played it at Nintendo's ECTS2003 truck and it was quite fun. Obviously it's not for single players but if you can get another 3 people to join in, it's a nice little party game.

I recommend that you pick up a Freeloader and import the US Pac-Man World 2/Pac-Man Vs. pack.

$19.99US ($AU26)
