Faced with the success of Tetris 99, Bandai Namco and Nintendo are applying this time the same formula to another emblematic license of arcade games: Pac-Man.
Up to 99 players will compete in this Battle Royale version, which will be launched from April 8.
From 3 am,
Nintendo Switch Online subscribers will therefore be able to download the game for free
or opt for the Deluxe Pack at 29.99 euros.
The latter notably includes the possibility of playing solo.
It will also allow you to take advantage of additional modes: CPU Battle, Blind Time Attack, Password Match and Score Attack.
You will also get 8 music and 20 visual themes, inspired by other Namco licenses.
Pac-Man 99 is available on Nintendo Switch Online
In Pac-Man 99, players will have to survive as long as possible in order to win the title of "Pac-One".
As in the original arcade game, you will be placed in a personal labyrinth where you will have to move your Pac-Man while avoiding the ghosts.
Consuming Pac-Gum will allow you to ingest your enemies.
With each ghost eaten, disruptive Pac-Man are sent to other players' games.
A sleeping ghost system has also been implemented.
If you absorb them, they will form a ghost train which, once swallowed, will cause even more damage to your opponents.
You can also select different strategies based for example on strength or speed, as well as a type of player to target during your attacks.
