Namco Museum Remix is a Wii video game, featuring a wide array of classic Namco arcade games. This compilation features the original arcade versions of Cutie Q, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Gaplus, Mappy, Pac & Pal, Pac-Mania, Super Pac-Man and Xevious. It also features re-vamped versions of Pac 'n Roll (previously a Nintendo DS title), Galaga, Motos, Rally X and Gator Panic (originally a redemption game). However, this compilation does not feature the original versions of Galaga, Motos, or the original or "New" versions of Rally X, only the re-vamped
versions.
This collection marks the first appearances of Super Pac-Man, and Gaplus since Namco Museum Vol.2 for the original Playstation, as well as the first ever Namco Museum appearances of Cutie Q and Pac & Pal (although Cutie Q had previously appeared on the Japanese Namco Museum Vol.2).
Also, the remix games feature Miis. A Mii is a digital avatar created by Nintendo for the Wii's Mii Channel. After creating them, they can be used as participating characters in certain Mii-oriented games, as first shown in Wii Sports and Wii Play. Miis are customizable and allow the user to capture a likeness or caricature, or capture the personality of themselves and others.
Up to 100 Miis may be created on any Wii console. The Wii Remote itself can hold up to 10 Miis on its internal memory, which can later be transferred to another Wii console. In addition, Miis can also be exchanged via the WiiConnect24 service, whereby allowing a player's Miis to "Mingle" will enable such Miis to appear on other people's Wii consoles (appearing in a "Mii Parade", where up to 1000 may feature). Miis transferred to another console cannot be edited from that particular console. (Wikipedia)
