Namco continue their attempt to capitalise on old franchises revealing exclusively to IGN Namco Museum Remix for Wii. Currently slated for a “”fall”” release in North America, Namco Museum Remix is, like the name suggests, a remix of five popular Namco franchises with included multiplayer, all new graphics and Wii-enhanced controls. The five franchises featured are: Pac’n Roll, Galaga, Pac-Man (Pac-Motos), Rally-X and Gator Panic. Namco says players can expect to “”whip, swing, twist and shake up the video game classics.””
More Inside – Pac’n Roll Remix: Pac-Man will roll his way to victory instead of chomping 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 unique 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 four 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.
– 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.
Also included on the disc are nine classic titles:
Galaxian
Dig Dug
Mappy
Xevious
Gaplus
Super Pac-Man
Pac & Pal
Pac-Mania

“”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, involve multiple players and offers a level of fun that is only possible with the Nintendo Wii,”” said Makoto Iwai, Namco Bandai’s COO and senior vice president.
