Bandai Namco releasing a Famicom port of Pac-Man Championship Edition for the Namcot Collection

Oh man, this is SO damn cool

GN Version 5.0

The Namcot Collection is coming to Switch in Japan on June 18th, and it lets fans of classic Namco games put together a virtual collection. You can piece together various games to play, and also display on a virtual shelf. Players will be able to pick and choose the games they want, and a very special addition was just announced today.

Bandai Namco has gone through the trouble of porting Pac-Man Championship Edition down to the Famicom, which will be based on the time-attack version from 2007. You'll need to purchase 10 different games in the Namcot Collection first, and then you'll get Pac-Man Championship Edition as a bonus. It's unclear if this game can be purchased separately.

Along with that, Bandai Namco went over some other quality of life features the Namcot Collection will include. Those new features include...

- save function that lets you suspend and resume at any time
- rewind function
- various screen formats

Thanks to Kolma for the heads up!
