SANTA CLARA, Calif., (October 23, 2007) – Leading video games publisher and developer NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. announced today that
Namco Museum™ Remix has shipped to retail stores nationwide for the Wii™. The debut of the multi-million selling
Namco Museum franchise on the Wii,
Remix delivers a collection of nine arcade-perfect classic games such as Super PAC-MAN®, Xevious® and Dig Dug® and five updated hits with modern graphics and new controls using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk such as Rally-X® and Galaga® at a suggested retail price of $39.99.
Delivering more than a quarter-century of gaming history,
Namco Museum Remix features original versions of nine arcade hits as well as five remixed classics to delight gamers of all ages. Using the Wii Remote, players can use new motion-based controls to experience these remixed classics in an all new way, and even use their own custom Mii characters in heated multiplayer gameplay sessions. In between games, players can explore the expansive Museum Hub to practice their moves with PAC-MAN and see the sights around the museum.
Namco Museum Remix includes the following five remixed games:
Galaga® Remix
Take aim with the Wii Remote and help PAC-MAN make it to the end of several treacherous space tracks, shooting down aliens and helping him to jump over obstacles. Up to four players can play together for even more shooting action.
Gator Panic® Remix
Use the Wii Remote to whack hungry gators before they can take a bite out of PAC-MAN’s pal! Up to four players can play together for tons of gator-smacking fun.
