One of the biggest surprises to come out of yesterday’s Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase (which was much bigger than Mini in our eyes!) was Pac-Man World Re-PAC<\/a>, a remake of the Pac-Man platformer Pac-Man World<\/a> on PlayStation.<\/p>\n

This spin-off launched a whole new sub-franchise for the yellow puck on his 20th anniversary back in 1999, and fans have been desperate to see the game make a return. And now it will be this August<\/a>!<\/p>\n

To celebrate the new trailer, the folks at GameXplain<\/a> have done a side-by-side comparison of the Switch trailer alongside the original PlayStation game, and there are quite a few fun differences and improvements. For one, Pac-Man’s home looks very different now, and you can see that Bandai Namco’s issues with Ms. Pac-Man are still present with Pac-Mom and Pac-Sis making appearances instead.<\/p>\n

The posters for Ghost Island are now much more detailed, and the levels themselves have so many extra touches with the new lick of paint. But otherwise, it’s a surprisingly faithful remake and the comparison really just goes to show that the game looks pretty brilliant.<\/p>\n

You can check out GameXplain’s video below for a trip down memory lane as well as just to see how much things have changed in over 20 years.<\/p>\n
