The last time Namco Bandai released a Museum collection on Wii with updated versions of its classics ... it didn't really work out. Namco is trying again with Namco Museum Megamix -- sort of. In fact, many of the remixed games in this collection are the same as in the previous collection, judging from the materials released. The Galaga Remix seen in the screenshots is the same "defend Pac-Man" rail shooter seen in the 2007 game, and Pac-Motos and Pac-n-Roll Remix, described in the press release, was also present. That's right, Namco has now taken to re-releasing its remakes.

The Megamix adds at least one new rearrangement: Grobda Remix, based on a shmup you're forgiven for now knowing about. It'll also feature original read: good versions of Pac-Man, Mappy, Rally-X, Galaga, and more. Megamix will be out in November.

Destructoid: Namco bringing a classic 'Megamix' to Wii this November

Destructoid — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 21:30:00 +0000

Because you can't get enough collections of Namco Bandai classics, the publisher has announced another one -- Namco Museum Megamix for Wii. The disc will feature 18 arcade ports, along with six "remixes" versions of games that feature 3D updates and Wii motion controls.

Expect to find the usual suspects on in Megamix, including Pac-Man, Galaga, Mappy, and Rally-X. It's the updates that should have you interested, though. Pac-Motos will let you control your own Pac-Man, tilting the Wii Remote in an attempt to knock other players out of an arena. GROBDA Remix has players controlling Pac-Man through arenas taking out tanks. "Get ready!"

Namco Museum Megamix is out November.
