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