Pac-Man munching on Wii

There are much better versions of Pac-Man available. But I hear Actraiser is great.

zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZ @ Pacman. Come on Nintendo, get some decent games released on the VC.. or more importantly, commercially.

Yes, joestlerman is right! Actraiser is great, but I want Populus too!

Seriously, Pacman? For $5? Am I the only one who finds that a little insulting? You can play pac-man for free as a flash game on any number of websites. I dunno, that just doesn't seem like a very logical purchase to me.

Well Pac Man is a classic but it has been released several times on different compilations already so it's not very exciting. Don't know much about Bonk's Revenge but Actraiser seems to be a good game.

The NES version of Pac-Man? Is it really that hard to get the arcade version like on XBL? Or better yet, an actually accurate emulation of the original?

You know, I can list at least a dozen top-selling NES, Super NES, & TG16 titles that have yet to see the light of day. But they keep releasing stuff like this. Bonk's Revenge is the best of this group, hopefully to see the US next week. But Pac-Man? Cmon....how many other consoles have this emulated in one way or another??? How about Tetris? Dr. Mario? Super Mario 2 (or 3)? Yoshi's Island? Ghosts & Goblins (the NES version)? Maniac Mansion? Devil's Crush? Dead Moon (TG16)? Come on, Nintendo....you can do better than this.

Pac-Man is gay? /Crossing my fingers for ActRaiser on Monday.

Actraiser is a great game, already bought it on the VC, upgraded to the full opera browser as well, A good week for Wii owners

Cool Actraiser - hope that comes to the US soon.

I have never heard of Actraiser... I wonder if it is any good.

That version of "Pac-Man" should be avoided. This is the Tengen version of the game and neither it or the older Namco Museum version is the real game. I would suggest buying Namco Museum's 50th Anniversary or getting the XBLA 360 version of Pac-Man that I have. These were done by Digital Eclipse and are perfect emulations. The patterns I used 25 years ago work flawlessly. Same goes for Ms. Pac-Man. Of course, ActRaiser and Bonk's Revenge are no-brainers. Great games worth their prices.

+1 on Actraiser

You lucky Europeans. I bet it'll take them several months before they port ActRaiser onto American Wiis.

I heard the adventure of link is coming out soon where's that. and how about a game called shadowrun for the genesis. that was one of the best rpg ever

You can't go wrong with the Pac Man original Arcade hit wonder !!

ACTRAISER!!!!!

speaking of god-sims... what about populus?

Pac-Man should be a solid download.

Awww, I love Bonk.

its a classic game but i already got it on my plug in t.v games machine thing

report european news on GS-UK plz.......

Actraiser...might be nice to have some wii functionality.

PAC-MAN

If only games that allow multiplayed would be edited to be playable online. I prefer to get them free online otherwise, it's not like the autorities cared about emulators of 10 years old games anyways.

yawn pac man is to shallow and boring now. i dont care how good it was back then theres just so many versions all the same... make something new not some 3-d crapfest adventure game..

All these games are FREE for PC, (Emulator, ever heard of it?) Legal issues, ever heard of them?

ActRaiser... Come on ActRaiser. I hope we get it in the states on Monday.

Actraiser? Hell yeah. That game alone makes this latest vc update worthwhile. The Bonk series is always fun. Pacman seems overpriced.

give me punch out

To Dr_Corndog: Because here we didn't get Starfox last week. :( In other news, I hope they release Paper Mario 64 on the VC with Super Paper Mario

Damn XD I want Pac-Man to :P

Worst... headline... EVER. That being said, Nintendo's Virtual Console is disappointing... which is fine because it's overpriced anyway. I'll stick with Super Paper Mario, thanks. I'm also thinking about tracking down an N64 so I can play for a couple of bucks what people are paying 10 for... but with no rumble.

can wii really handle pacman?

Dude, Actraiser is a Square game, too. I'd say SMRPG is pretty likely at this point. Of course, what Square really needs to release on the VC is The Secret of Mana! On a side note, how come the European VC releases are so much better than the ones we got in the States this week?

As much as I'd like to see it, SMRPG would be hard to get because Square developed it. Then again, we DID get DKC. And Europe got Punch Out? I want it, too!

Cool but I want SMRPG!! come on nintendo!! give it to us!!

Actraiser would be worth it. Unless you didn't buy Punch Out yet!

Oh yeah, Super Mario RPG on Wii? That would be incredible!

Thats all we need is more lame arcade ports. Actraiser is a step in the right direction though.

...and the Wii jokes keep on coming from you, Emma . I'd have used nibbling, sounds kinkier. ;)

Good but I think Pac-Man is way too expensive... Instead, wait 'til Namco releases another compilation, and it would be cool if they released Namco Museum 64 for 1000 Wii Points.

ZOMFG good point man, SMRPG would be GODLY. i cant wait for Wii health and Wii music.

That's a pretty good VC game, though I'm waiting for SMRPG!
