It would be awesome if Hamster and/or another capable publisher like M2 brought at least some of these to Switch.ĭispatch Games Posts Several Updates Around Its Company S. Another iconic game from back in the day is Q-Bert by Gottlieb. Ditto Sega (Zaxxon, Congo Bongo, Pengo, and their host of later iconic machines ranging from Afterburner and Super Hang-On to Model 2 titles like Daytona USA). After multiple generations of having offered collections of their Arcade titles like Joust, Marble Madness, Root Beer Tapper, and Defender, Midway has surprisingly been absent this far. Thanks to Hamster's efforts the Switch has far and away more Arcade coin-ops represented than any console in history.Įven so, there are still some gaping holes remaining to be filled. Yes, the $8 asking price per game is steep, but I guess it's better than nothing. Maybe that means we'll finally get Pole Position and even Ms. Glad to see Hamster picking up the slack for the lackluster existing Namco Museum Arcade Pac on the Switch. I recall some sort of problem with trying to use Namco Museum with that (I think the screen rotated the exact opposite way of other vertical arcade releases on the NS, leaving the game upside down).
The only thing you're gaining is the confidence that any old Pac-Man pattern will work as it should, where as ports usually miss some of the nuances of the ghost behavior and break those old patterns.Įdit: And this may be ideal for flip grip owners. That said, if you're a casual Pac-Man player and already own Namco Museum, I don't see that you're gaining a whole lot by double dipping for the utmost accuracy when Namco Museum looks, feels, and plays as one expects from Pac-Man. So this port may be more accurate than it was in past Namco Museums, which other than the 50th Anniversary Collection on XB/GCN/PS2 that featured emulation by Digital Eclipse, have always been ports going back to the original Playstation line.īut with Hamster always going the emulation route and with their reputation for accurate emulation with the Arcade Archives line, you're guaranteed this one will behave exactly as it should. Traditionally that's meant that things like old patterns don't successfully work in the latter, but I've not personally dug into the Pac-Man port on Switch and have just played it casually a couple of times.

A spy ship (worth a random bonus value) also appears occasionally, which must be destroyed or the enemies will go berserk. Enemies occasionally launch formation attacks - destroying the leader causes all remaining enemies to disperse, but destroying all enemies in a formation scores extra bonus points. The player must either destroy all six cannons or shoot the core to destroy a station, and in later levels the core is capable of defending itself.Īdditionally, the player must avoid or destroy asteroids, mines, and a variety of enemy missiles and ships that attempt to collide with the player's ship. Each station consists of six cannons arranged in a hexagon, surrounding a central core. Each level consists of a number of green space stations that must all be destroyed to advance to the next level (a semi-transparent mini-map helps identify their location).
The player controls a small fighter ship that can move in eight directions and can fire both forward and backward. The object of Bosconian is to score as many points as possible by destroying enemy bases and ships. It runs on Namco Galaga hardware but with a video system like that used in Rally-X. Bosconian was a multi-directional shooter arcade game that was developed by Namco in 1981.
