"PAC-MAN" is the godfather of all modern video games, and it is making a comeback for Nintendo Switch but incorporates one of the most played genres of the modern age, a 99-player Battle Royale. "PAC-MAN 99" is debuting tomorrow, Wednesday, Apr. 7, for the Nintendo Switch platform and NAMCO has something surprising to offer its fans and gamers.

One may think that "PAC-MAN" is an old game and a thing of the past, but wait until they have seen the trailer and first-look gameplay of the retro classic that is making its way to the Nintendo game. One of the rare instances of the game is the introduction of multiplayer and collaborative gaming, but in this case, it is larger than that.

Instead of a "collaborative" game mode, it is going to be "each man on his own" in this 99-player battle royale which largely resembles the Epic Games' "Fortnite," and "Player's Unknown Battlegrounds" game setup. Pitting everyone against each other is one of the most extreme ways to test out one's skills, but the game has something more up its sleeves.

The release on the modern-retro take on one of the most iconic games of the entire generation, "PAC-MAN 99," would be making its way to the Nintendo eShop by Wednesday, Apr. 7, which has initially been up for preorders. The "Pac-Royale" would only be available via the Switch Online platform, which players need to be members of, to run the game.

'PAC-MAN 99' Trailer

The official trailer for "PAC-MAN 99" has shown the first-look face of the game, as well as its objective and how it would work as a battle royale, all while avoiding ghosts and eating pellets in the game. "PAC-MAN 99" would let users play on a single arcade screen while having other's progress (all 99 of them) be seen in the background.

The new addition to this is the game allowing people to attack other players using the different skills and offers in the game, especially after eating the iconic "Power Pellet" that allows Pac to devour ghosts. The fusion of the classic munching experience of PAC-MAN is imbued in the battle royale style that leaves the best and most elusive player as the superior among matches.
