Talk:Namco Museum

Article history and name change
I want to let everyone know that I'm not spamming, despite the one edit, one undo action, and replacement edit that turned out to be exactly the same as the first I made. I accidentely pressed my Keyboard's Enter button before typing what I edited. I didn't finish typing in that as Namco Museum for PS2, Xbox, and GC are listed below the PS1 and N64/DC versions, it shouldn't be hard to figure out that it is separate from and was released after the PS1, N64, and DC versions despite the simple title of Namco Museum. I changed it to Namco Museum because that's the actual title of the first Namco Museum for PS2, Xbox, and GC, and also because all the other versions are listed with their actual names. -Mega Man 5 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Namco Museum 50th Anniversary ESRB Rating
I heard that part of the reason why the ESRB rated this E10+ was because of the song lyrics. Particularly with the song Joystick? Wonder why It didnt get higher for the sexual theme that song had?

Anyone have any article evidence on that so I can integrated it with the appropriate game?

The table really needs fixed up
Many of the games are in their wrong spots. 64.5.164.18 (talk) 15:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Is there any reason the table shouldn't be in alphabetical order? Sorted by the name of the game it would be easier to find a particular one. Stroller (talk) 00:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Namco Museum DS Vol. 2
Somebody recently added info about Namco Museum DS Vol 2, is this game really going to exist or is it mindless garbage? Ive googled it and I cant find anything about it on the net, please reply and tell where you got the info because i would love this game! Ashum Besher (talk) 11:58, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I looked online and couldn't find it anywhere. It was probably vandalism the whole time. I'll have to remove it fast before anyone else sees this. 70.105.113.62 (talk) 02:13, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Gameboy Advance
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary Arcade Collection was also released on the Gameboy Advance. It is still on sale, I think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.122.175 (talk) 21:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * That observation is already noted in the article, farther down in the existing section for 50th Anniversary. D. Brodale (talk) 21:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Namco Museum Virtual Arcade
Namco Museum Virtual Arcade keeps getting vandilised repeatedly,

LOCK THIS ARTICLE SOMEBODY!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.203.27.187 (talk) 21:15, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

I think we should give Namco Museum Virtual Arcade its own article with the list of games, and lock that article, and leave this unlocked so if any real new info comes by, I can post it on, and the NMVA list won't be vandalized. 70.105.118.203 (talk) 04:20, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Unlock scores for GC, Xbox, PS2 version
I have just corrected the scores required to unlock Pac-Attack and Pac-Mania in this release. My secondhand copy just arrived the other day, and coincidentally I happened to look at this article. I can confirm from my own experience that 20,000 is needed in Ms. Pac-Man to unlock Pac-Mania - it took me a couple of days. ;) These figures are also stated in the game's manual - I don't know if that's a valid citation.

This correction is no big deal, and surely not worth commenting on, except I'm wondering why they're wrong in the first place - is it possible that the unlock scores are different on the different platforms of this version? I'm basing my observations on the PS2 version, in case you're like "OMG! That's wrong! It's clearly 20000 and 15000 respectively!1!1!" and you happen to have the GC or Xbox version. In that case we'd better mention this difference in the article. ;) Stroller (talk) 00:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Unnecesary Sections
Why is Xevious 3DG+ and the Wii Virtual Console Arcade listed here, they are not true Namco Museums, if these are here then why not have other Namco collections eg. Pac-Man Collection, Namco History, Namcollection, Namco Anthology...... NO, somebody please change this so it is just true Namco Museum games in the article. Thank you. 90.198.11.88 (talk) 20:23, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Xevious 3DG+ and the Wii Virtual Console Arcade are now in the "Other Collections" section of the article.

The Table has 4 of the compilations in the wrong order.
On the table, the 4 out of place compilations are listed in the following order: The actual order is: The main article has these in the actual order but the it's the table's order that needs to be fixed. All of the other compilations are in the correct order on both the main article and the table. I'd do everything myself but it'd be too much hard work to get everything in one edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.115.10 (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

WiiU Virtual console?
Pacman Collection (Gameboy Adcance) is listed as being available for the WiiU virtual console. While GBA games are going to be made available, only four games have been announced and none of them are Pacman Collection. It looks like someone jumped the gun. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.251.142.163 (talk) 07:12, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Table of Namco Museum games
This is a table showing which Namco games are in which Namco Museum compilations, not including Namco Museum Encore, which was only released in Japan.

 Special Key 
 * U - Unlockable with the points shown for whatever game is shown.
 * S - Secret, found a different way than unlocking by points.
 * J - Included in the Japanese version only
 * JN - Included in the Japanese and North American versions only
 * VMU - For Namco Museum (Dreamcast), instead of it being played from the game itself, it is played on the Dreamcast's VMU.
 * PI - Denotes that the main reason it was not included in Namco Museum (GBA) (The first Namco Museum compilation for Game Boy Advance) was because it was included in Pac-Man Collection (a compilation for Game Boy Advance with a similar interface) instead. (The "I" stands for instead)
 * +GBAv - Denotes that it is included in the scaled-down Game Boy Advance version of Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary as well as the home version.
 * XBLA - On Namco Museum Virtual Arcade, instead of the games being accessed from the disc, they are added to the user's Xbox Live Arcade menu while the disc is in the Xbox 360.

This table is way too unwieldy for an encyclopedia article. Either pare it down or digest it into smaller tables or something for the individual sections. Lists might be fine for each section. czar 19:47, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

What if I combine all of the PS1 collections into one column?

Namco Museum Various Minor Things
I have come across the page and after a while, wanted to check what it looked like lately. I have noticed a few things might want to be edited. Adding box art for the Playstation games and a few others (including namco museum arcade hits!) (and adding CERO rating for encore), whether or not we should show both the special box and/or the regular artwork for encore, and whether we should add the review from here: http://www.nowgamer.com/namco-museum-encore/ to the reviews or not.

Vinyl record
I'm a bit on the fence as if the section on the Namco Museum-related vinyl record should really be here, as it isn't even a video game nor is it based on any of the Namco Museum games. Really should probably be mentioned somewhere in the article or just removed entirely, if you ask me. Namcokid47 (talk) 02:20, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

Namco Museum started off as an actual store in the 80s.
Namco Museum was an actual store in Japan during the the 1980s before it became a series of video game compilations. https://twitter.com/Area51_zek/status/1025729826525569024 English Translation I still thinking of a proper way to insert this into the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Namcoloden (talk • contribs) 20:06, 10 November 2018 (UTC)

Namco Museum Mini Player/Mini Arcade Release Date
It seems that Amazon in the UK lists that the Mini layer/Mini Arcade Namco Museum release is going to come out August 19th, 2019. Of course this is just a European release date, but it still does list what looks like a finite date. CreeperDudeBro (talk) 17:19, 10 April 2019 (UTC)

Namco Museum Arrangement
i advise a revision to this to include Namco Museum arrangement for the original Xbox and ps2 and GameCube as that's the game that was released only for Xbox and PS2 and GameCube only in that era of consoles from 2000-2005  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Superusergeneric (talk • contribs) 22:03, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * There is no such thing as a Namco Museum Arrangement. If you're referring to the one on Xbox/GC/PS2, it's already listed. Namcokid  47  (Contribs) 22:23, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
