A Deluxe Edition will also be available for $29.99."



Looks to be a re-release of the Stadia game. Hopefully this will fill the void of Pac-Man 99. I see you can give friends a friend code and have them play with you in the same match. Hopefully this code is cross platform. I will probably double dip on Switch and Steam.

Pac-Man 99 died for this? Nintendo should have worked out a deal with Bamco to offer this as part of the NSO Expansion Pass. No way I’m biting at $20.

NGL looks fun.

Good. More platforms can enjoy the concept.

This always looked fun to me and even though I was going to try it on Stadia I never got around to it before Google shut it down. Glad it's getting a re-release. I have no issue with shelling out$19.99 and double dipping on both PC and Switch.

Pac-Man belongs to Namco, and since we are talking about a license to use it on Nintendo here, I could see why Namco stopped the online service part of Pac-Man 99. Either that or Nintendo wouldn't shell out enough money to keep it running on their Nintendo Online service. Don't be surprised when Tetris 99 and F-Zero 99 eventually are shut down too, due to licensing issues with Tetris, or Nintendo being cheap or just their utter distain for their consumer base.

I have no doubt that 99 got EOL’ed because Bamco didn’t want it eating Chomp Champ’s lunch. Still sucks though.

Looks fun and it's cheap. Day one.
