I played that version as well on my DS all the time! What's strange though is that it's the only version where the HUD is above everything. Though it's probably because of the small screen size.
I always remember playing this game on the GC and going through 50 lives just to get to the boss as a kid cuz I had no patience lmao. Nice graphics and music, really liked the inclusion of Kinky and the ghost’s special powers. Wish they made more games kinda like this.
I loved the arcade & GBA versions of Pac - Man Arrangement when they came out. But man the current version is bad with the awful 3D models and no 5th ghost. What was Namco thinking??
The PS2/XBox/GameCube version is the same as the Arcade version, but the music is a little "high-pitched". Same thing goes to the Gameboy Advance version, but the sound is downgraded. The PSP version is somewhat different than the Arcade version except everything is different. Windows/Steam/Playstation 3/Xbox 360 version is the same as the PSP version.
6:16 I used to have that Namco Museum compilation on my PS2 and I would always play Dig Dug Arrangement on it all the time. Along with Pac-Man Arrangement. Ah, the memories of my earlier childhood.
I remember playing pacman arrangements on my pacman collections game on the game boy advance ps and an old Xbox 360 Nampo meuseum game from 2009? that probably dosent exsist anymore lol
The best legal way to play this is on Wii U. It’s on the e-Shop under “Pac-Man Collection”. It’s the GBA version which frankly only second to the Arcade.
I don't know why they decided to pitch up the sound in the game when it was ported to "Pac-Man Collection" on Gameboy Advance, and "Namco Museum" on PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube. They also did the same thing to Dig Dug Arrangement in Namco Museum.
That happens sometimes with music. I've seen it in other places too, like, there are songs from movies that get dubbed in other languages, and for some reason they're pitched up, or intros from TV shows that are pitched up, or even other games like this where they get pitched up when they get moved or dubbed or whatever. I don't get why either, but I kinda like it sometimes because it makes the music sound a bit different, like a remix kinda.
Random Videos By plaindinks Late comment but Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2 (and I believe Vol. 1 as well) are known to not emulate properly on MAME. Not sure if that’s been fixed recently.
Pac-Man Arrangement ('96) Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2 (Arcade): Original Namco Museum (PS2, GameCube): Nerfed Music Pac-Man Collection (GBA): same as PS2/GameCube ver., but music is Nerfed even more (expected on GBA) Pac-Man Arrangement ('05) Namco Museum Battle Collection (PSP): Original, everything in it (multiplayer features, difficulty options) What you forgot: Namco Museum Virtual Arcade (Xbox 360): Locked on Hard difficulty...?, raised game speed, multiplayer features removed What you forgot: Pac-Man Remix (iOS 6 and below): everything nerfed, multiplayer features removed Pac-Man Museum (PC, PS3, Xbox 360): Saturated graphics, Some of the Bosses' AI are ******, multiplayer features removed
2005 versions of arrangement games are OKAY, but don't hold a candle to the 90s-2002 versions. Namco should rebrand the PSP arrangment games to avoid confusion, and then bring back the arcade versions of the arrangement titles.
My preference number of worlds would be ten from zero to nine, which world zero has two levels, and each world from one to nine has four levels, totaling thirty-nine rounds if round thirty-nine is the final boss round battle.
yeah one problem you forgot to do the japanese version of pac man arrangement called "pac man arrangement +" also on psp (unless you were using actually console hardware then never mind)
I'd just like to point out level 1 of Pac-Man Arrangement is designed to be super easy? As in... the pellets are in a path that you can just follow. It's very unlikely a ghost will actually touch you if you just follow the path.
Do Circus Charlie please. That game is a huge inside joke between my friends and I, so I would love it if you could compare the 6 or 7 different versions. It shouldn't be too difficult. Do it in the name of friendship! :)
What's the difference between Ps2/Xbox and GameCube? The only difference I notice is that they used the better drums of the GBA version in the Grass World
Was hoping you'd include Pac Man Arrangement Plus on Namco Museum 2 for the PSP. Curious how it's different than the normal one on Namco Museum Battle Collection.
I would post a link to the video on Pac-Man Arrangement Plus, but I can't, or else my comment will be marked as spam. So instead, copy this and search for it on RU-vid: パックマン アレンジメント+ The user who uploaded the footage is 49INFINITY.
the gamecube version of namco museam is the same as the ps2 and xbox versions but it does inquld a big if you try and play it on dolphan all music would stop playing after a while
Unfun fact: In all (but PSP) versions, after continuing, you lose all your points. Also, There is only one 1-up (by score, can also be changed in the GBA version), which is at 40k.
Played the Gamecube version a bit today, along with varios Championships and Ms. Pac-Man's. The Gamecube version looks washed out on an LCD screen, the reds bleed color, but for my money it's the only way I play it because of how good the GameCube analog stick is. Seriously, the Xbox and Sony sticks are so clunky by comparison, even an actual arcade stick at the arcade doesn't compare to the precision.
