Pac-Man 99 is a variation on Pac-Man, which enriches the classic rules of this cult arcade game with elements taken from the battle royale genre. Bandai Namco company is behind the development and release. The game is available for free for subscribers of the Nintendo Switch Online service.

Mechanics

At first glance, Pac-Man 99 does not differ much from what we are used to from its original. During the game we take control of the game' hero, who moves through the maze and eats balls scattered in it. At the same time, the protagonist must avoid colourful ghosts wandering around, because an encounter with one of them ends the game. However, the protagonist is not completely defenceless, because after he eats one of the special power balls (clearly bigger than the others) all the ghosts turn blue and can be eaten by him for a short time.

GameSkinny: 8 / 10 by Jason D'Aprile

Pac-Man 99 follows deftly in the footsteps of Nintendo's Tetris 99 to provide a near-perfect multiplayer Pac experience.

Siliconera: 7 / 10 by Graham Russell

Pac-Man 99, the new Nintendo Switch Online exclusive, seeks to follow in the footsteps of the battle royale retro games that preceded it. And that’s not unreasonable! A game like this needs classic, addictive action at its core, and Pac-Man is certainly that.

COGconnected: 82 / 100 by James Reid

Overall I’m really enjoying Pac-Man 99. It’s a great pick-up and play title for when you have just a couple of minutes and are looking for something to do. The gameplay is fast-paced, competitive, and surprisingly addicting. If you have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, there’s no reason not to give the game a shot.
