Is there still a lot of demand for versions of Pac-Man that reshape the grid and simplify the 40 year old graphics when the Museum collection offers the real thing? I guess if it does a decent Earthworm Jim it might have a use, but a new unit for 2019 should offer better than the same compromised home version of a game we saw in 1985.
I guess that has something to do with why Nintendo has never produced an accurate home version of the full game, even after the home systems became more capable than the arcade hardware.
And of course the vertical screen. Namco museum on Switch finds a way to deal with that issue, of course. There's also no reason at this point that a release couldn't have both an accurate "pillar-boxed" version and a reconfigured horizontal one.
Either way, it was still a cop out to release that same NES version on the 3DS. I get the idea of nostalgia for an NES "classic", but are people nostalgic about classic cases of getting short-changed? They could have at least whipped up a version of the missing level for that.
