Pacman vs. -- Miyamoto + Pacman = FREE!?

[takwu]

Another free game from Nintendo... and this one can be BIG for certain people.
This time Miyamoto worked with Iwatani, creator of Pac-man, to make Pac-man vs.
As you might guess from the name... YES!!! FINALLY, the dream of many Pac-man lovers come true - player controlled ghosts in Pac-man!

Get this game when you buy Pac-man World 2 or R: Racing Evolution for GameCube:

Don't you need a gameboy advance to play this as well?

Yes you need a GBA with the link cable for the Pac-man player, who can see the whole map on it like original Pac-man. Other players control the ghosts and only see a small surrounding area of each ghost on the TV.

The setup lets the Pac-man player play it like the original, while not giving out his position so easily. If all ghost players see the whole map, it would be too easy for them and impossible for Pac-man. That's why the idea hasn't been implemented until now.
