PAC-MAN vs. ships
Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Hometek Inc. announced today that Pac-Man vs. has begun shipping to retail outlets nationwide. Packaged with Pac-Man World 2, the newest entry into the Player's Choice library, Pac-Man vs. is now available exclusively for the Nintendo GameCube and uses the special connectivity feature to link the Game Boy Advance to the Nintendo GameCube. With an MSRP of $19.95 and rated E for Everyone, Pac-Man vs. brings an old favorite back to the limelight just in time for the Holiday season.
Designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, Pac-Man vs. lets players compete head-to-head
using a Game Boy Advance and a Nintendo GameCube, connected by a Nintendo
GameCube Game Boy Advance cable. One player uses the Game Boy Advance to
control Pac-Man as he gobbles his Pac-Dots. Up to three other players on the
Nintendo GameCube control the Ghosts and chase Pac-Man around the board. If
a player's Ghost catches Pac-Man, those players swap controllers and the
game continues. Whoever hits the predetermined scoring cap first wins the
game.
"We are very excited to have a new addition to the Pac-Man family," said
Garry Cole, Senior Vice President of Sales. "By incorporating this classic
character with the unique connectivity features of both the Nintendo
GameCube and the Game Boy Advance, players are offered a new style of
gameplay that will bring them closer to the competition than ever before."
With six worlds and more than 20 levels to explore, Pac-Man World 2 offers a
variety of gameplay mechanics including Shimmy and Flip Kick. Also featured
in the game are the in-line skating and ice-skating skills that propel
Pac-Man through the amazing 3D Pac-Mazes.
Pac-Man vs. will also be available with other Namco games for Nintendo
GameCube including R: Racing Evolution and I-Ninja. Each copy of R:
Racing Evolution will include a copy of Pac-Man vs., is rated T for Teen,
and will be available Dec. 9 at an MSRP of $49.95. Starting Dec. 4 at
specialty retailers, fans can also receive Pac-Man vs. free as a gift with
any purchase of I-Ninja, Rated T for Teen, at an MSRP of $49.95.
