Aww man, I liked Pac-Man 99 a lot…
Fair enough. I cant even get a full server, which means that theres probably under 10,000 concurrent players at a time lol

Hard RIP.
As long as you don’t come near Tetris 99
Sucks but it just didn’t have the staying power Tetris 99 had. Felt boring to soon. And it didn’t even get a maxim cup like Tetris did they went straight to asking for money for more themes. At least Tetris waited a couple months before adding a payed version. Probably just didn’t get enough players to keep this one running if anything.
This sucks. I wonder if this has something to do with Bandai Namco.
