Actually, Ms. Pac-Man did make a cameo as just a picture in the second cutscene of PMW2 and Jr. did make a cameo in the ending cutscene as one of the Pac-Villagers. But yeah, as of the 21st Century, Baby Pac-Man (and I mean the original) is now history, probably because of how little of an impact she left on even Namco themselves (outside of having a very cute design which is to be expected from a Pac-Man character).

I'm glad you didn't apologize for the puns. People really gotta suck it up and accept these puns.

[@SuperNintendoGameboy]

The one thing regarding Ms. Pac-Man that I should mention is that Namco and GCC were negotiating terms to hand over the rights of Ms. Pac-Man over to Namco, but suddenly AtGames of all people ended up buying the rights and Namco wasn't too happy about that. There was also some things about false advertising regarding when AtGames released some Namco mini consoles with the games being the NES ports despite being advertised as the arcade originals. Needless to say, rather than work with AtGames, Namco just said "fuck that" which is why we have Pac-Mom and her kids.

[@a.i.rautisticintelligencer7580]

Thanks for information, now I want to kill atgames

[@queencancerous5332]

So about the intro. Aside from Pooka, a lot of other Namco characters were supposed to be guest characters who were invited to Pac-Man's birthday. There are storyboards showing this, you can find them on KZbin.

[@RoninCatholic]

I'd have had it be Pac-Man's _38th_ birthday rather than his 20th. He was a Pac _Man_ during his first game's debut in 1980, after all!

[@UltraThunderSurge]

It's been a little while since you stopped doing Let's Play videos and I have to say, this (as well as your other videos) has been the best course for your content to have taken. A proper evolution of the laid back, conversational retrospective/review styled commentary you gave during those early years of doing video games adapted from films that evolved as you moved on to the Mega Man series and the Sonic series. Condensing it into a shorter, single video has been so much easier to keep up with and offers much more variety for your content as it gives you the freedom to quickly move on from game to game, no longer having to stick to one franchise for years on end. Excellent video, it was the perfect companion piece to your original Let's Play of Pac Man World from nearly 10 years ago and really shows how much you've grown as a creator.

[@brandonwilliams6119]

As someone who didn’t grow with these games but still played classic Pac-Man in the Namco Museum Compilation I found this video so much fun to watch, informative and got some good laughs! Thank you our Great Clement!

[@EnigmaBarry]

This was a fantastic look at both the original and remake of Pac-Man World! Thanks for making a video on this!

[@mz3player]

Surprised no one's mentioned it, but Easy Mode's flutter jump actually only lasts 20 seconds (compared to the standard 2) - so basically as long as you'd reasonably need it to last, but not literally forever. (I have used it until it runs out quite extensively for a challenge run I'm making a video about!) Good review, though. I think I saw the first game through nostalgia goggles and thought the remake really made some unnecessary changes in the feel of the game, but after hearing you demonstrate the QoL changes, I'm starting to reconsider.

[@TannerOfTheNorth]

Maybe it's cause I'm getting older but now I see new changes to old school games to be a bit nicer and I'm like "oh thank God" I don't wanna deal with "you messed up, now you have to redo it all". All I lose is time and as an adult, that's my most valuable resource. Play the originals if you want, I'll take stuff that is just a li'l nicer and easier.

[@aerostrafe1075]

I will always find the original ending more memorable because its funny. Dude did literally kidnap your entire family. Don't think anyone is going to listen to some kind of sob story.

[@cartoonfan9million468]

I found HMS Windbag to be fun in both versions of the game. I hated Anubis Rex and King Galaxian in the orignal because Anubis Rex throws a lot of crap at you as you hurt him more and King Galaxian you had to tap the buttons many times to shoot and if you died at any part of the fight, you had to either start all the way back from the beginning of the fight or if you got the checkpoint all the way from the beginning of King Galaxian’s fight. Say what you will about Anubis Rex in the original but at least it saved your progress each time you hurt him unlike King Galaxianwhere you only recover 1 health each time you hurt him and his attacks as well as his minions attacks can cover the screen so if you are on the wrong areas of the screen, you can lose 1, 2, 3, or even all 4 health and have to start over again. At least they fixed Anubis Rex and King Galaxian in the remake to be more fair then they were in the original. I also like how if you don’t save everyone, then after you defeat Toc-Man, the ghosts set the rest of Pac-Man’s family free, I guess that they are not such bad guys after all. But if you do then Pac-Man doesn’t hold anything against Orson. Also Orson aside from trying to kill Pac-Man, I do feel like this would make a better premise for him to repent and be a friend to Pac-Man in the third game if Pac-Man forgives him. Lastly I find it strange that Pac-Man’s family is called Pac-Mom Pac-boy, and Pac-Sis. Like that just sounds wrong and incestous to me. Why couldn’t they call them Pac-Wife, Pac-Son and Pac-Daughter instead? Like in the game they even call Pac-Man darling, father, and daddy respectively.

I guess you could say that this video is a *fumbles with sun glasses* Remake or Rebreak.

[@jdh96]

I really enjoyed the remake and 100% it for the first time last month, a special shout out to Re-Pac's new end credits song that is an absolute banger called "We are PAC-MAN!"

Recently played through Re-Pac and I had a great time! I did start wondering about how it differed from the original and looking up comparisons. I'm glad to hear most agree the game is pretty loyal to the original and most of the changes (save for the cutscenes, which I agree are more charming in the original) seem to be not just for the better, but appear to often be clever improvements that understood what worked well in the game and what didn't. That's what you want to hear whenever a remake comes out!

[@sydneywellesw-vtr1439]

Interestingly, in the Jappanesse version, if you died in a maze, you would exit out of it and back into the stage. It would refill your health upon starting a maze however.

[@BriceTerry04]

I'm a person who was born in the 2000s who played the original Pac-man and the only Pac-Man World game I first came in contact to was Pac-Man World 3, but the first Pac-Man World game I actually played was Pac-Man World 2 in 2015 when my special ed teacher brought an Xbox in his class and I loved the hell out of it. And with the remake of Pac-Man World not having Mrs. Pac-Man, I don't know what's worse? The Sonic 3 music being replaced with the prototype music, or Pac's wife leaving him. Honestly I prefer the ladder because I love both the prototype music and the Micheal Jackson music. Also I'm not a bitchy sonic fan (most of the time).

[@SRGIProductions]

Man, I LOVED Pac-Man World 2. I spent so many hours on that game. I emulate it nowadays.

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

I love Pac-Man World. Re-Pac is also pretty good, but I do have my gripes. Namely, the bounce pads don't quite work right, the new versions of the cutscenes aren't as funny or interesting, and the replacement characters while legally necessary look terrible. Also, the other BIG issue I have is the Mega-Pac thing when you get a power pellet. It trivialises most of the platforming in those areas, the mini-mazes, and worst of all the music that plays is very annoying and it replaces the stage music, forcing it to restart every single time. Which is bad enough on its own but it gets SO much worse in the mazes. I want to enjoy the stage music but can't because the music keeps getting interrupted with pac-man's super sonic jingle and then starting over.

[@jessicapinkman-hd4bw]

pac n roll is a pacman game released exclusively on the Nintendo ds and it served as a prequel to the other pacman game's like you know something of an origin story that explains where the power pellets come from and why pacman and the ghost gang are always at such odds in it the ghost gang release a legendary evil ghost named golvis from his slumber to wreck havock on the pac people he turns a bunch of pac people including a young pacman into limbless talking tennis balls and pacman sets off with the help of a fairy to save his species the ghost knowing of this try to get in his way frequently throughout levels but fail because of the power pellets which come from some sort of tree pacman faces off against golvis at multiple points and always comes out on top thanks to the fairy who i like to think is the fairy from pacland the game not the fictional town in the game's he saves the other characters that we're captured which included pacgirl who is a younger ms pacman which allows thing's to make much more sense pac master and other characters i don't remember the names of all of which he knew during his childhood pacman has a final encounter with golvis where he defeats him for real the pac people all return back to normal pacman who by he way was still called pacman then that's his litearl birth name is hailed as a hero pacgirl has a crush on him now and the ghost gang watch from a television and get angry when their told that golvis was actually known for his failure so I'm assuming they held a grudge against him ever since then

[@genericwhitekidthesecond4330]

I think it's worth noting regarding easy mode in Repac is this is a kid's game. Like...4 year old kid's games. While it might be easy to laugh it off as "this game isn't that hard" some kid who can't even read yet and wouldn't understand platforming as a concept might be playing. Easy mode in that sense is kinda like the equivalent of letting a kid play Half-Life but you make him invulnerable and give him all the weapons first. Might remove basically all difficulty and greater gameplay but for an audience young enough this means they can actually progress.

[@joeykirkpatrick224]

It's been so long since I watched a video on your channel I completely stumbled onto video nice to know that you've made a comparison video between the oringal version of the game to the remake also I do remember when you covered the oringal playstation version of the game on your channel since that was your first time covering a game about Pac-Man on your channel I remember watching a few parts of that let's play on the game I should definitely get around to watching the full let's play of the oringal Pac-Man world it would be very nostalgic to revisit a let's play series like that

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

Incidentally, the ms-pac man lawsuit is a steaming pile in general isnce it's all because of one idiot judge who decided that "coin-operated" should not actually mean "coin-operated" but instead mean any video game, which is absurd. Namco and Atari had a contract and they followed its terms to the letter, but one dumb judge can't understand that and ruins the whole thing for everyone...which is also weird because Atari went down during that time, and "Atari" today is not the same "Atari" from then, so it shouldn't count anyway. That's not even getting into the obvious issues of derivative works.

I had never heard of this series until I was in late middle-school or early high-school, but I always thought that Toc-Man was really damn freaky looking.

I think his redesign is better in the sense that it's still freaky, but it wouldn't turn me away as a little kid.

[@lugbzurg8987]

So, Orson kidnapped and imprisoned Pac-Man's family, ransacked his house, made multiple attempts on his life, and Pac-Man just mildly-inconveniencing him with a power pellet is somehow way too brutal? Nah, Orson deserved worse. Pac-Man has displayed far more brutality over lesser offensives. *See:* Pac-Man: Adventures in Time (Outright *KILLS* his new enemy for stealing his artifact).

Yeah it does look fun and would definitely buy the PS4 over the switch version for sure. Heard that version is not a soild version but at least the PS4 one plays pretty well. Damn shame that there is no outtakes or even an art gallery but I guess I could understand the gallery not being there. Not that many gamers even care about modes like that anymore but no outtakes come on. Still a pretty good remake of the first game and definitely in theme for Halloween.
