Glad to see Pac-Man in the list. Leaving it out from the first release on the Wii was a head scratcher.

Hopefully they'll do away with the 'menu' system of walking around with Pac-Man to choose your game. The 3D camera's so bad you can actually get lost in what's a fairly tiny space.

Someone that owns the previous collection on the Wii and Namco Museum Virtual Arcade on the 360 will already have all of this content along with quite a few more games.

The only thing here that isn't available from past versions of this compilation in recent years is Grobda Remix...

I'd get this if it at least added 3 or 4 new games to the Namco Museum series (Such as Jr. Pac-Man which Namco owns along with things like Ms. Pac-Man due to their settlment with Midway).

I'm more then willing to rebuy Namco Museum every year or two if there is a compelling reason to do so. It doesn't even have to mean new content (Although adding more 80s titles like Final Lap, Jr. Pac-Man, Navarone, and Tank Battalion would be great). Something like a new Namco Museum on the PS3 and 360 that includes wheel support for Pole Position I/II would be enough of a improvement to make it worthwhile purchasing.

Instead, it's just a rehash.

Or Pole Position I/II on the Wii using the Wii Remote Wheel accessory.

*sigh*.. another one? How about at least tripling the games this time?

I agree.

Another thought:
When is Nintendo going to do some of their own games?

Donkey Kong + remix
Donkey Kong Jr + remix
Donkey Kong 3
Popeye
Mario Brothers

That looks great! Just as long as they don't try to "improve" the games, I'll be buying this.

[HammR25]

Too bad there's no Xevious Resurrection on this one. It's a nice sequel to Xevious.

[Lord Thag]

So is Xevious Arrangement.

Namco really needs to release more games on their collections. They are getting as bad as Koei with their damned Dynasty Warriors games.

Still, if it sells, it sells I guess....

My thoughts exactly, and VC dont count.
Nintendo is long over due for a nice compilation of timeless classics.

I am truley surprised too that their Anniversary Collection is just Mario All Stars and didnt include other early Mario titles.
