Yoshii said in a recent interview that the project took about two years to make, and thankfully the process went “relatively smoothly.” He also acknowledged that the remake came about in part due to “the requests from fans for the return of Pac-Man World for so many years”.

[Review] Pac-Man World Re-Pac

Posted on 2 years ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

System: Switch
Release Date: August 26, 2022
Developer: Bandai Namco / NOW Production
Publisher: Bandai Namco

It’s not a stretch to say that almost everyone who plays video games is at least aware of Pac-Man; the puck-shaped pellet muncher is perhaps one of the most iconic gaming protagonists of all time. So, while it shouldn’t be a surprise that of course he featured in his own series of 3D platformers in the late 90’s and early 2000s – those games were a dime a dozen back then – it was a bit of a left-field announcement when Bandai Namco revealed that the original Pac-Man World would be getting a remake. It’s a solid 3D adventure that has its fans, sure, but it didn’t leave a substantial impact on the genre in the same way that Mario, Crash and Spyro did. Sometimes, though, a game doesn’t need to innovate to be a good time, and Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a perfect example of how tight, responsive platforming and a dollop of arcade-fueled nostalgia can be a timeless, satisfying combination.

Bandai Namco has provided information about what to expect from the frame rate and resolution with Pac-Man World Re-Pac on Switch. Details were posted on the official Japanese website.

Regarding frame rate, Pac-Man World Re-Pac can run up to 30 FPS. You should expect it to hit that mark most of the time, but based on the wording, it sounds like there could be the possibility for dips below that. Other platforms will run at 60 FPS.
