This was more like a tech demo I guess. Anyway, it is quite amusing to play. I played this with my 7 yo son.
Technical info : This was recorded with Dolphin and Visual Biy Advance. You can connect those.

[@RetroGameSpacko]

Didnt really expect this to go 10K any time soon. Thanks guys

[@T4C00C4T]

Thank you for posting the Tech Info :)
I loved this game back in the Gamecube days. Was so much fun, and connected gamers across generations.
I wish they'd remake this, would easily work as a mobile port :D
@PACMAN people, get on this!
Edit: added comments regarding mobile port.

[@laserninja2027]

@@T4C00C4T they did remake it in namco museum for switch, but you need 2 switch systems to play as pac-man

[@DerrickPage465]

Do keep in mind ​@@laserninja2027.
On Namco Museum, Pac-Man VS can be also done without a second Nintendo Switch if you're aiming for three players.

[@dr.omanyte138]

It's something amazing to hear Charles Martinet (Mario) as an announcer in a game that is not from the Super Mario Series.

[@Sixfrombeefydielol]

I thought it was Paper Mario: Color Splash.

[@gb.recordings]

Do you need to game boy advance to play this ?

[@masterdrewt6698]

Incredible isn’t it

[@FigureFarter]

@@gb.recordings Yes

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

Mario being the announcer of Pac-Man Vs. must've foreshadowed that Pac-Man would make it into Smash 4.

[@jamesloveland7315]

This also wasn't the first time Pac-Man and Mario Crossed over...
as it also happened in Mario Kart.

[@DeadRaymanWalking]

@@jamesloveland7315 Of course, I've played the Mario Kart arcade games.

[@duscarasheddinn8033]

​@@DeadRaymanWalkingI realized that this is before the Mario Kart Arcade GP games. The first one debuted in arcades in 2005, and this game claims to be from 2003.

[@superpan218]

Considering that this game was directed by Shigeru Miyamoto and that this is a joint project between Nintendo and Namco, it only made sense for Mario to be the announcer for this game.

[@maxferdy7702]

Mario’s voice just makes me happy

[@yoshihirogamer]

Ikr

[@NASCARFAN160]

This was a GameCube exclusive, so my headcanon is that that's Mario, no doubt.

[@nicholasmcdede8893]

They also remastered this in Namco Museum on Switch

[@Virus_of_positivity]

@@nicholasmcdede8893 TBH, it's good that it got a modern rerelease, but for the concept, it would have made a lot more sense for the Wii U. One player could use the gamepad as pacman, and the other three could use the TV as the ghosts. Or even a 3ds eShop release would have been cool.

[@duscarasheddinn8033]

That's most definitely Mario. It's Charles Martinet doing his Mario voice, so how could it not be Mario?

[@MrBluesMessiah]

How would that have worked? THe gamepad didn't have a screen. The whole point of 2 screens is that the ghosts had to hunt for PacMan. @@Virus_of_positivity

[@vanxilla]

its not headcannon, it literally is cannon. that is mario

Played this all the time with friends, as a kid. Not as deep a game as the Mario Bros. GBA port, but the fun factor was sometimes on par.

[@longplayarchive]

Awesome

[@DupontandLowesWarrior]

Charles Marinet (Mario) is The Announcer

[@goodgollygeez]

Thank you, I was wondering if it was for a minute

[@IndysGameplayVids]

@@goodgollygeez That's because Pac-Man Vs. was developed by Nintendo (even Shigeru Miyamoto was involved), so it's fitting that Mario was snuck in.

[@Bammer2001]

Of course it's him!

[@nikodem123asdf]

@@IndysGameplayVids that makes more sense than not

Mario: Dats teh end of the game!

[@choboy46]

Why the hell is Mario the narrator of a Pac Man game
Watch out! Pac Man is powerful!

[@SoshiTheYoshi]

Likely due to the fact it was developed by Shigeru Miyamoto

[@mor_64]

This game was created because Miyamoto is a fan of the Pac-Man series, even though he created Nintendo series such as Mario and Donkey Kong. Also, Nintendo didn't published, but distributed the game, and voice is similar to Mario's.

[@jasonmartinez5116]

That's because the announcer voice IS Mario's. Charles Martinet provided the announcer voice for Pac-Man Vs.

[@pbloo574]

This is a game I’ve been wanting to play, but I don’t have enough Gameboy Advances and link cables.
This game looks really fun with 4 players, so I might grab a couple more GBA’s sometime soon.

[@robichu3023]

I think this game only need 1 gba, and players pass up the gba to play as pac man

[@justinevilofficial]

There is the remastered version for Nintendo Switch, i have it

[@GSballreborn]

@@justinevilofficial Wait, how does that work? I’d understand the Wii U, but how does this work with the Switch?

[@justinevilofficial]

@@GSballreborn sadly you need another Switch to be Pac Man

[@yoshiwoollyworld]

This game uses only one gba console and gamecube gba link cable

[@chowmein0941]

This is like a Wii U precursor.

[@vanxilla]

this would have been a fire virtural console release on wii u

[@madifal]

oh my god. the pac man vs music. Zeyo, you have brought back so many memories of when i played that game on the ds with my family lol

I heard Mario speaking English in this game ❤❤❤❤

[@Gauntlets]

Seeing dis played through, it kinda makes me think they should make an updated (or rather an upgraded) version of da Wii U dat can use Nintendo Switches (all versions) as screen controllers! Games like dis would an' should b remade, first off! Second off, games like "Madden" and other [American football titles] could b done an' ppl could pick their plays on screen whilst guessing what da other player's gonna do! But I'm kinda just spouting shit irrelevant 2 da actual game I'm watching...
