Pac-Man Is A Very Weird Series | The Pac is Back, But He Never Left 

Pac-M'am rolls off the tongue much better than Pac-Mom

I prefer Ms. Pac-Man over Pac-Mom, honestly

@@jadstudiosofficial I think most people do, it's just what we've got to work with for now. Ms. Pac will likely be back if/when the rights issues get resolved

@@jasminefrazier8624 you mean r34

@@Jorgen.mp4 me and Alison velvets : yes

That's cool, but what i don't understand why it was included over Pac-Maze, which has more significance to it's series, or at the very least got a graphics make over like Wrecking Crew or Summit...

Eh the stage is bad

@@Duskool Someone hasn't played Smash 3DS

@@Josuh Uh, yes, i know, i meant why was Pac-Land chosen OVER Pac-Maze in Ultimate, i know it exists in the 3DS version, but why isn't it on the "ultimate" version of smash i'll never know

@@Duskool Can't recreate the functionality of the Power Pellet properly. The ghosts are only supposed to appear blue to the player who eats the Power Pellet, so the Pac-Maze stage doesn't work if multiple players can play on the same screen. I suppose they could just not make the ghosts turn blue, or just not feature that mechanic in the first place, but you know Sakurai. He doesn't like making compromises, for better or worse.

Nitro Rad didn't.

OMG my dude, I actually had that game as a kid! I remember that one being a good time, and it helped make me a fan of the series instead of just "that one old game". Still dunno what was up with that...thing...in the cave from the intro cutscene that was supposed to be the game's villain, though. Pac-Man's got a surprising amount of villains. I played Adventures in Time before I even knew about the World games, so it was cool to see that, "Oh you actually can make a full-length adventure from just mazes". I'd kinda like the series to give that format a shot again if we're not gonna get a new platformer (though I didn't expect Re-Pac, so we might get that too lol). Arrangement even proved that you can do boss fights in mazes, so why not? Though if we're talking obscure Pac-Man games, I'll call your "Adventures in Time" and raise you a Pac-Man All-Stars. It was a multiplayer-centric game, though there was a single-player story mode and the villain was a white-colored magician ghost named Wandy (why the heck do I remember that). Adventures in Time was the better game without question, but It seems like I'm the only one who remembers this one lol.

Jr and Baby were also left behind. Those games are why the characters were in Land, 2, and World. There's also Ms. Pac-Man: Quest for the Golden Maze. But it kinda sucks, so it makes sense that it's forgotten.

Adventures in Time is a certified jam. Still the most one of these games has ever innovated on the maze chase formula-- feels like _every_ stage introduces a new idea.

Respect from me and my bro, that game was part of our childhood.

the person above me gets no bitches

2Pac was giving some bars on the yellow dot for inspiring his name

Long live 2Pac. Rest in peace.

I love Ghostly Adventures.

WHEN DID HE LEAVE

It would’ve been funny if it wasn’t so horrible

Or how about that episode with Tip of the Apex where the characters are taken far in space as racers? Or the episode where Count Pacula… *sigh* turned out to be a good guy in the latest Halloween episode when in the first Halloween episode he was evil? Or the episodes where… *sigh again* Pinky treats Pac-Man standing her up on dates like it’s worse than when the world is in danger like in Pac-Man World 2?

What about the Nerd pacman

I can’t be the only one thinking that Ghostly Adventures is an underrated and under-appreciated gem.

Yes, mainly the games.

😮

I love how, no matter how much "nostalgia" was in or not, they always gave Pac-Man an arcade aesthetic. Like, being intentionally behind-the-times, no matter what decade, made the series ahead of its time in the process? That's ridiculously ironic. But still, I love how Pac-Man's whole old-fashioned gimmick has been a thing since even the 90's(when the series was only ~10-20 years old at that point). I'm a 2010's kid, and even I appreciate how they preserved the style no matter what(outside, you know, legal bs). Plus, simply acknowledging Pac-Man being a full-on adult that accepts his age is weirdly wholesome in a way. Well, outside Ghostly Adventures to an extent.

and in world 3, he sounds like sonic

When did he leave?

He didn't talk about Pac-Man Adventures in Time tho. I am angry at that.

@@MystPlaysGamesMPG Yup, that is a bit of a shame, that game does a lot with the maze formula. I like Adventures in time a lot, despite the maze layouts being a little too similar looking to each other

I think it is click not clck

@@ethanpoole9429 are ya happy now?

which arrangement?

@@solong.everyone The original sprite version.

I played the version that was in the PS2 namco museum as a kid (which was a port of the arcade one), alongside the galaga and dig dug arrangements. God, I loved them to death. The music was the best part. Something about those games was just dripping with atmosphere and vibes.

For me it was Pac-Man 2 The New Adventures and Pac-Man World 2. The New Adventures for the Sega Genesis had the original Pac-Man games, including Ms.Pac-Man, which was frickin awesome. I love Namco's tendency to put arcade games into their new games. Tekken 5 with Star Blade at the intro. You gotta love it!

Agreed. The PSP version of Arrangement is okay, but the Arcade/GBA version is so much more charming. The music, the sprite work, the music, the level aesthetics, THE MUSIC!

Sadly... It's not on Netflix anymore... 😔

Did anyone else watch it on Disney XD?

Yup

Oh yeah!

Probably just as much as sonic

@@jameslawrenson1208 Fun Fact: Pac man World 3 was originally going to be Pac-man Adventures, which had Dark concept art done by Don Bluth himself🤩🤩🤩. For some reason Namco rejected Bluth's version??????

Dude has his own song, I'd say he made it. 🤣

What about “Frogger: The Great Quest?”

@@JudgeTyBurns "I wish I may I wish I must, give me a princess before I bust!"

Ghostly Adventures ain't even that bad, it's just painfully mid. Frogger has had much worse reboots than Ghostly Adventures over the years, especially in the PS2/GBA era.

The bot above me hates AntDude.

@@Froge0 i personally loved ghostly adventures

I said it before, I'll say it again: Ghostly Adventures basically killed the franchise for the rest of the 2010's, and it was so bad to the point Klonoa (a dead IP at the time) was starting to overshadow him in the online gaming community. It's bad when a series known for big console releases gets regulated to mobile shovelware.

A Pac-Man movie *I* would want to make in the future would be Pac-Man and the University of Pac-Land with the animation style of Pac-Man World 2 starring Jay Sean (or Jerry Trainor), Michael J. Fox (if he’s still around), Jason Sudeikis (most likely as Inky because he played a red (that’s his name, don’t wear it out) video game character in the Angry Birds Movie duology of the late 2010s) and Mario Cantone as Pac-Man, Blinky, Inky and Clyde, Angie Harmon (or Mindy Lee Raskin) as Pinky, Craig T. Nelson (aka Mr. Incredible) and Allison Janney as Blinky’s parents, Sam Elliot as Pac-Bear, Patrick Warburton as Hunter (the grey ghost in Canyon Chaos, one of the world 1 levels in Pac-Man World 2), Debby Ryan as Miru, David DeLuise (aka Jerry Russo, in honour of his father Don DeLuise who would play Don Bluth characters in the 1980s (1978 with The Small One - 1989 with All Dogs Go to Heaven) aka his golden age of animation) as the snowball-throwing blue ghost in world 3 (Ice River Run and Avalanche Alley) of Pac-Man World 2, etc.

@@SuperMarioFan123311 relegated* sorry

Woah theres a movie

Many of gaming’s biggest icons owe their existence to Mario, but Mario himself owes his existence to Pac-Man.

Pac-man party is just straight up good imo. Idk how anyone could see it as anything really too disappointing. It’s a creative-ish take on monopoly, has a surprisingly really good soundtrack, succeeds as a party game. I just don’t see what there is to not like about it. Love it

That game is underrated asf. It was better than mario party 8 and 9. It was only overhated since any party game within the party genre is going to be called a mario party clone. Same thing with any kart racer being called a mario kart clone. Nintendo fans hate when other companies decide to do their own party or kart racing games for their ips.

Recently been playing it and yea it’s a really fun party game

@@kyubeyz_7062 yeah fr, plus the minigames are pretty good too, I can't think of any of the mini games where I groan when they're picked

@@tvgamerstan6180 can't speak for Mario Party 8, but it's 100% for sure better than 9

Everyone that looked at the arcade cabinet artwork

No one, since there were barely any games with 3D graphics.

me, i wasnt the first one but i still did

The origins of World os probably closer to somebody saying "What if Mario 64.....but Pac-Man?"

@@KeybladeMasterAndy Nah, they used Crash Bandicoot for more of their inspiration. And Namco themselves simply wanted to make their character jump to the next dimension after a bunch of other franchises were doing so, Sadly, the initial project: Ghost Zone had a notorious development hell.

When you don't watch the whole video before commenting:

Boring

I PLAYED THAT

Why is that even a bad thing? Pac-Man and the Ghost Gang being friends was honestly a great subversion on the trope. I loved their chemistry.

the fact that the 4 main ghosts were on pac's side was honestly a unique twist on their characters then being the generic bad guys. ghostly adventures had alot of great ideas, it was just executed poorly.

Shame on at@games

Yeah and I hope they make it good and also remove the token system in it this is Nitro rad’s idea not mine I just like using it and also make the arcade games unlockable from the start too

I think Regular Show deserves more credit for predicting Billy Mitchell's cheating controversy.

Garrett Bobby Ferguson being a parody of Billy Mitchell makes so much sense, and I’m angry it’s taken me years to realize.

What?

there is a character in the movie called Eddie plant, he is modeled after billy mitchel and his whole deal in the movie is acting like a god for winning a pacman competition, near the end of the movie it is revealed that he cheated all along and never deserved his status just like the irl billy@@acedelta12

​@@poweroffriendship2.0 It didn't "predict" anything it was blatantly calling the man out to the point he tried and failed to sue.

Pac-Man 2 was a beautiful classic, anyone who says otherwise is wrong lol

@@DeskoDev I went to a pinball arcade once in Florida that had it, but it was out of order. I'm not sure if they made it through the pandemic.

@@connorburton1009 The one I went to didn't even survive to see the start of the pandemic :( anyway, from my hands-on impressions I can safely say that the game was amazingly bizarre
