Pac-Man 99 Comes to Switch Today, Paid Bundle Releases Alongside
Following on from the release and subsequent pulling of Super Mario Bros 35 Nintendo’s latest surreal take on the Battle Royale craze, albeit with arguably its biggest IP last month, it seems that we’re not done with fixing high numbers onto popular, historic and much-beloved video game properties.

In much the same vain as 2019’s Tetris 99 brought, Pac-Man 99 finds players competing against 98 fellow players online in a round of classic Pac-Man. Ghosts and power-pellets all accounted for.

Nintendo has announced a new battle royale title for Nintendo Switch Online members based on Pac-Man titled Pac-Man 99.
ADVERTISEMENT Pac-Man 99 will be exclusively available to all Nintendo Switch Online members for free starting on Wednesday at 9 p.m. EST.
The game, similar to the previously released Tetris 99, has players competing to be the last Pac-Man standing out of 99 total players.
Players will navigate the classic Pac-Man maze, trying to avoid and eat ghosts. Any ghosts that are defeated will be sent over to attack other opponents in the form of a Jammer Pac-Man. Players who run into a Jammer Pac-Man will be slowed down, leaving them more open to ghosts and elimination.
