Namco Bandai Games has revealed a new game for the Nintendo Wii. The Namco Museum Remix will have five “remixed” Namco arcade games with new controls exploiting the Wii Remote to whip, swing, twist and shake up the video game classics.
These are some of the games that will be on the Namco Museum Remix:
Pac’n Roll Remix: Pac-Man will ROLL his way to victory instead of munching his way through. Players navigate Pac-Man by rolling him through worlds where he will face deadly obstacles, roll-up classic pac pellets and use awesome power-ups.
Galaga Remix: With Galaga invaders arriving from the far reaches of space, players must try to shoot down the invading forces and save Pac-Man from ultimate destruction. With up to four-players able to challenge the oncoming invaders and scores being tallied for each player, wiping out an alien species has never been so much fun.
Pac-Motos Remix: The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to knocking your opponents off a series of exceptional and colorful stages all while using the Wii Controller to move, dash and power-up your Pac-Man! Players engage in a small arena where the goal is to knock opponents off while grabbing power-ups and navigating through challenging environments.
Rally-X Remix: With up to 4 players capable of taking the screen at once, this classic Namco title is brought new life with slick graphics, power-ups and a new intuitive control scheme using the Wii Remote to steer. All these new features for Rally-X equal one thing – fun.
Gator Panic Remix: Gators pose a serious problem and Pac-Man is here to solve it. Players use Pac-Man to whack at emerging gators that appear on screen. The player with the most gator whacks at the end of a match wins.
Makoto Iwai COO & SVP, Namco Bandai Games America said, “Namco Museum Remix breathes new life into all time classic games like Galaga, Rally-X and Pac’n Roll by taking their fun and famous gameplay and adding new twists which are easy to grasp, engage multiple players and presents a level of fun that is only possible with the Nintendo Wii.”
Apart from these games, Galaxian, Dig Dug, Mappy, Xevious, Gaplus, Super Pac-Man, Pac & Pal, Pac-Mania and Cutie Q are also included in the Namco Museum Remix. Namco Bandai has not released any details regarding the pricing but has stated the game will release in Fall 2007.
