The music reminds me of Après-ski in an Austrian resort and the gameplay reminds me of a rudimentary, desolate, early 3D game. All in all, it looks ghastly.

I can imagine the chomping sound getting annoying.
Classic Pac-man was in Arcade Mario Kart. We need consistency!
but whyyyy

Pretty sure the new design was used in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX which just came out like a month or so ago?
Nope. Look at Pac-Man's eyes in the 3DS game, and his face next to the lives counter. It's much more like the old 3D Pac-Man. The ghosts look a little different from the cartoon as well.
Honestly, it looks really nice.

Is the reason we can't get portable Tales in the states because they waste all their money on stuff like this?

Wow, I had no idea that game was so recent.
I don't hate new Pac-man's design, but IMO Smash is a game where iconic characters should appear as such.
Just you :lol
It looks plenty cynical.

Looks interesting. Reminds of Wario World and Treasureish platformers. Is it confirmed to be Japan-developed?

Oh snap the Pac is Back!
Wind world would be my guess.

Generic Green/Forest world
I'd actually respect them if they straight up called it "Generic Green World"

I was excited at first too, but then I realized the game is based on a TV show. Do not want, especially since Pac-man is now voiced by a child, and they're pretending that Ms. Pac-man doesn't exist.

I absolutely loved Pac Man World 2 as a kid and for some reason now I am hyped for the 3DS version of this. I guess its just nostalgia.

So, we bitch at the lack of 3D platformers and now the creation of them? I mean, it doesn't look like it's going to set the world on fire, but at least it sounds like someone at Bandai Namco is listening. How well they are listening it still up for debate, though.
Make a new Klonoa, not this shit.
Okay, I don't want a Klonoa 3D platformer either but you know what I mean.

Needs a homing munch. AHAHAHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. I just reread what I just wrote.
But nah, it needs work but I'm interested.
I thought the same thing.

I thought the same thing.
The platforming looks bland and sparse, the combat mechanic looks unwieldy, its based on an interpretation of Pacman Im already aware I dont care for, it doesnt even look as fun or exciting as the Crash Bandicoots and Epic Mickeys from this gen.
Theres a lot of good reasons to not be excited about this game. Right now the only reason to be excited seems to be some weird 3D platformer stockholm syndrome thing
Im going to buy it when its cheap because Im a crazy person who plays every single one of these damn things, but people who just miss 3D platformers already have better options this gen
EDIT- Hell they already have better upcoming options. Theres going to be a new Mario at E3 and the indie Oliver and Spike which Gaf seems to be ignorning judging by the lack of posts in that thread

Quantity doesn't hurt. I mean we'd still be missing (on Wii U):
Crash
Spyro (not Skylanders)
Ty
Kao
DK
Sonic (we know that's happening eventually anyway)
Bomberman (more of an adventure game considering 64 and the GC ones)
What other still existing 3D platformers came out since 64/PS1 and showed up occasionally?
On Wii we only had Mario and Sonic, and also Crash and Spyro until 2008. Ty and Kao never came to Wii, and DK never got a second 3D platformer after 64. Bomberman never had a true action adventure since GC, the JP only Wii game was a single-player classic-style Bomberman game. And of course Pac-Man never got a platformer outing after the 6th gen.
For the king of platformers, Wii certainly got a ton a 2D ones, but 3D ones were too few and far in between.
I want to see Nintendo finally bring their platformers to full 3D, Kirby's still hasn't made the jump (Air Ride gave us a delicious taste via City Trial), DK again needs a second go, Ice Climbers would actually make a cool one if done right. And Yoshi Sunshine PLEASE...

there's a distinct lack of pac-man in that klonoa design that's truly why I never liked it
