‘Pac-Man 99’ Turns the Classic Game Into an Online Battle Royale on the Nintendo Switch

Whether you’re talking to little kids, parents, friends or grandparents, we’re willing to bet if you asked them about their favorite video games they’d say Pac-Man–or Ms. Pac-Man–in the first few. Deceptively simple in concept yet equally impossible to master, the old school wakka wakka wakka gobbler is always at the top of people’s favorite video games of all time list. And now, Nintendo is taking everything we thought we knew and had perfected over years of playing the game and turned it all on it’s head with Pac-Man 99, the 99-player Pac-Royale version of the classic. More than four decades after the original release, Pac-Man has gone almost Fortnite with a 99-man battle royale game available for free on the Nintendo Switch that includes new strategies, power-ups, ghost-trains, play-modes, themes and customizable cosmetics that completely revolutionize the way the classic is played. Check out the video to see exactly what you’re getting yourself into, but if you have a Switch, this is going to corner your time for the foreseeable future because it’s just that fun.
