Looks awesome. I'm assuming that is probably a boss? Hopefully there is a good deal more depth than we saw in the E3 demo.

I love the magic marker look, it's so cute, but yeah I can feel the "kiddy" remarks coming already.

I thought this wasn't supposed to be a video game, only a tech demo :\
And Wario64, do you have a life outside the forums, seriously now?

Looks pretty cool, but I'm far from convinced that there's enough substance to merit releasing it as a stand-alone cart.

Pretty much, you draw Pac-man and he comes to life and chomps up ghosts. From other shots we've seen from the website, there are objectives in each level, whether it be to kill all the ghosts or get certain points, but I don't quite see how they're going to make this into a full fledged game. Then again they're probably just going with the simple puzzler route.Sho Nuff said:
IIRC, the demo played out thusly:
Ghosts would appear on the screen, in varying sizes. Drawing Pac Man figures on the screen would launch an animated version of your drawing in the direction he's facing. You had to draw one that's at least as large as the ghost in such a way that he'd animate and intercept the ghost, eating him. Drawing one too small wouldn't work, and drawing a shape that didn't closely enough resemble Pac Man would cause him to fail, not come to life.
Something like that.

I really didn't think Namco would put the time in to create software based on the Pac n Pix idea that would be a justifiable purchase. It always seemed, a little, well, yes - tech demo style.
But looking at these screens, while the game doesn't look like it's changed much from the tech demo status, the fact they have bosses leads me to believe they are trying to flesh out a full fledged game. Could be VERY cool.
It looks cool anyway.

I sort of agree... at E3, I spent about five minutes with Pac Pix and at least twice as long with Pac-n-Roll.

Pac-n-Roll was a Pac-Man style maze game created by Namco. The top screen had a maze on it and there will hills and ditches and stuff. The lower screen showed a spherical Pac-man. You rolled the Pac-Man on the top screen (also sphereical) by rubbing the bottom screen. The objective was the same as normal Pac-Man. Collect power pellets and kill ghosts with super pellets. It was awesome.
Pac-Pix, on the other hand, was a stupid fucking game. It's certainly not enough to warrent a full version. I can't believe Pac-Pix is being released and there's still no word on the much better Pac-Man DS game, Pac-n-Roll.
developers can make great games for NDS yet?
I got the system and own 5 games.
feel the magic
wario
the one-line pluzze game from nintendo
band brothers
yoshi
feel the magic is the worst (crap mini games and no fun at all)
wario (it quite good but the first two on GBA is a lot better)
the one-line pluzze game (it's ok but not very addictive and a little bit short)
yoshi (i think it's very interesting and addictive but suprise to see that it's a pluzze game)
and this tech demo become a real game too (just like yoshi). just hope the content is richer than we think

Pac Pix, Pac-n-Roll, classic oldschool Pac Man and a new DS version of Pac-Man Vs. should all be put on one cart.

When I played the game, I had the worst time getting he DS to "recognize" the Pac Men I drew.
That being said, it was still fun, but I really can't imagine the game having that much legs. I sorta assumed both it and Pac-N-Roll would be released together in one cart.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing that Pac Pix is might be the other half of the Pac Roll game.
I can see Pac-n-Roll being a very popular game in it's own right but I don't see Pac Pix pulling the same popularity on it's own. Combining the two games might be advantageous for both projects and really make a compelling product that offers a fair bit of stuff to do.

Much like Pacman Versus., this game will change the world and how we view it.

Yay for more mini games that could be done in flash for full price
