Nintendo Takes Pac-Man Fans on a Journey Down Memory Lane With an Incredible Museum

Bandai Namco recently released a new bundle that reportedly includes 14 of the fandom’s favorite Pac-Man titles. The popular video game company created the Pac-Man Museum+ collection as a part of the franchise’s 42nd-anniversary celebration.

An introduction is unnecessary for a franchise like Pac-Man! Many fans have grown up playing the classic Pac-Man title, and hence, a lot of the popularity is nostalgia-driven. Moreover, Pac-Man Museum+ is available for all major platforms like PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, along with PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (backwards compatibility).

What are the games included with Pac-Man Museum+?

Pac-Man Museum+ could be regarded as a ‘sequel’ to the 2014 Pac-Man Museum, which was also a compilation of Pac-Man. But it included only 9 titles from the popular franchise plus some additional features like achievements and leaderboards. Museum+, on the other hand, comes with 14 of the series’ legendary titles, local multiplayer support, and customization options. 

Pac-Man Museum+ includes 14 Pac-Man classic titles; find the list below:

• PAC-MAN
• SUPER PAC-MAN
• PAC & PAL
• PAC-LAND
• PAC-MANIA
• PAC-MAN ARRANGEMENT CS Ver.
• PAC-MAN CHAMPIONSHIP EDITION
• PAC-ATTACK
• PAC-IN-TIME
• PAC-MAN ARRANGEMENT Arcade Ver.
• PAC Motos
• PAC’N ROLL REMIX
• PAC-MAN BATTLE ROYALE
• PAC-MAN 256

As you can see, the collection is vast; there’s something for every Pac-Man fan! Along with all the classic fun, fans can also make use of the local multiplayer support. As it happens, Museum+ comes with 5 titles that support local multiplayer modes. Moreover, some titles support turn-based multiplayer on the same console. 

Fans can get hold of five exciting month 1 purchase bonuses

Museum+ also lets players customize their own virtual arcade; players can collect items in-game and use them to design their personal arcade. Fans can decorate their arcade by heading onto Menu > Customize. Not only this, but Bandai Namco is also offering Month 1 bonuses for fans!
