That's because they fear that Pac-Man could get in over a Namco character they like... you know, someone who is more experienced in fighting like the characters in Tekken, Soulcalibur, and Tales... because MUH MOVESET POTENTIAL!
Someone really needs to get Sakurai to specifically state that swords=/=(interesting)moveset potential at some point. Have we not done basically everything that's possible to do with swords between Link, Tink, Yink, Marth, Roy, Ike and Meta Knight by this point? What in blue blazes is Mitsurugi going to add over Pac?
Yeah, not to mention we are most likely getting more NINTENDO swordfighters (Chrom, Takamaru, Shulk, to name a few) so there's no point for a NAMCO swordfighter.
In my opinion, when it comes to third parties, importance to Nintendo is second to importance to gaming. If Konami has to have a rep, Snake is without a doubt that rep. Metal Gear is Konami's flagship series. Also, not only is Castlevania a shadow of its former self, but Simon Belmont isn't even the sole main character of the franchise the way that Snake, Sonic, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Rayman, Bomberman, etc. are. Castlevania is like Final Fantasy in that regard, except not as extreme.
I never thought of it that way, but that is entirely possible.
Which one? There have been two designs.
I would be happy if he didn't have the chameleon tongue in smash. I say it doesn't change the possibility of it being in his moveset however. Sakurai was probably going with his most recognizable 3d form anyway from pacman world
Most of us here want that. We just want to implement some from his 3d games too. maybe you should check the last few pages of movesets
I do want that. No other character has a moveset based on eating/biting. They only have an attack or two. Thinking a biting-based moveset can't be unique because Wario already has one biting move is like thinking Ivysaur or Zero Suit Samus couldn't have been unique because Sheik already had a whip for her Side Special.
It isn't the appearance that makes the fame, its the character and his game. I am sick and tired of people saying "oh, 3d pac isn't famous, only his circle form *whine*" Pac-man is still pac-man no matter what. I guess we should keep sonic fat since that's where his fame started, and take zero suit samus out of the game because more people know her in suit-form, or keep captain falcon in his speeder.
There's still a difference. Sonic didn't suddenly grow eyes and legs when he turned 3d. If you ask somebody at random to describe pacman there's a very good chance they'll describe his in-game arcade incarnation, they might even draw a picture for you.
Golden had recently told us that it will come to Japan under the name "Pac World" this December (I beleive he said on the 5th). So that gives us yet another month to look forward to.
Holy cow whats the link that gives pac man 3 chances
http://www.siliconera.com/2013/09/10/so-many-pac-man-games/ Look there, it could also imply that the Ghostly Adventure show might have a Japanese dub.
Thank you.
Pac-Man has always had limbs, just take a look at the arcade cabinet. He didn't suddenly grow them when he turned 3D. In the earliest version he had eyes, a mouth and legs. When the arcade game got more popular his design added a nose, arms, gloves and boots. Again, this was while he was strictly an arcade character, long before he was in any 3D games.
2D Pac-Man and 3D Pac-Man are the exact same character. You cannot seperate them just because of difference in design
You know; I'd never even heard of Megaman until the internet came along. I'm sure I wasn't alone in this. But everyone knows Pac-Man, so I'd say that statement is pretty much spot on. Pac is potentially the most worldly reknown video game character of all time. Even non gamers and people who have never touched a video game have likely heard of Pac-Man.
I also did not know who Mega Man was until the internet. I thought I was alone there.
I think that honor is more likely to go to Mario now, but who knows.
According to one survey (which I could link you to if you'd like) said that Pac-Man was 1% more recognizable than even Mario.
That's pretty cool, I'll take your word on it.
Of course. However, this was done by a respected surveying team. (It was to see how marketable characters or celebrities were, iirc.) Pac-Man topped the list, Mario was second. Having a margin of error, though, I think they're basically equal, with Pac-Man slightly below Mario.
I won't lie, I am completely against Pac-Man being in the game, but I will really only complain about it among my friends and not bring it here. Didn't realize he was so popular, hope you guys get him in the game.
He's popular, but Namco has been ridiculously terrible with the handling of him. No one cares about modern Pac-Man anymore, unfortunately.
Thank you for that source. I had forgotten who did it.
