Namco Museum Remix gameplay montage: Rally-X and Galaga remixed

As you know, the Namco Museum Remix video game for the Wii is actually many games in one. It has “remixes” (i.e., versions that have been re-invented and re-created) of a bunch of Namco classics like Galaga and Rally-X, as well as added in nine more classics like Super Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Mappy, Gaplus, Xevious, and Galaxian.

This video features two of the Namco Museum Remix games. The video starts with Rally-X clips and ends with two Galaga levels.

If Pac-Man meets go-kart racing is your style, you’ll enjoy the first Rally-X clips. Personally, I was rather bored by the first two clips (but that’s probably because whoever was controlling Pac-Man kept on setting himself or herself up for nasty crashes).

But at 3:03 into the video, things really pick up with the Galaga remix. It looks more alive and happy – and we look forward to shooting down the bad guys with the Wiimote. However, I’m kind of a bit disappointed that the features that made Galaga fun are missing (others have pointed out that there are no extra points for shooting whole rows).

All in all, this looks like an early demo version, and Namco probably has other features they still want to add to the game (for example, wouldn’t it be nice if the Galaga Pac-Man could get abilities that would let him dodge those shots being aimed at him?).

Namco Museum Remix is being developed by, and will be published by, Namco, that well-loved game company. The game is being scheduled for the 3rd or early 4th quarter of 2007.

Lovers of casual games who have flocked to the Wii will rejoice at this title.
