Dos clásicos de Namco se unen a los archivos arcade de Hamster esta semana

@DeathByLasagna This one’s an emulation while the one in Namco Museum is a port. Tradicionalmente, eso significa que cosas como los patrones antiguos no funcionan con éxito en este último, but I’ve not personally dug into the Pac-Man port on Switch and have just played it casually a couple of times.

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.

But 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.

Dicho, 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, siente, and plays as one expects from Pac-Man. 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.
