As it stands, as the demo exists on the E3 show floor, Namco Museum Remix is surprisingly(?) the biggest piece of crap on display for the Wii system. Namco Museum Remix is, according to someone near to it who I think may have been employed by Namco, "a re-imagining of the classics," and total evidence that since they can't even get close to matching them they just refused to try.
The desecration of Galaga is by far the worst offender, and one of the greatest arcade games ever has essentially been transformed into a Final Fantasy VII Gold Saucer shooting gallery where you protect an auto-pilot Pac-Man rolling along a series of tubes from getting shot by 3D renditions of Galaga creatures. This works by pointing at the screen and pressing B on the remote a lot. The particularly hostile ones emit little red circles like in Time Crisis to let you know they're about to fire. Levels just end once you've stopped Pac-Man's termination and then, in the demo at least, you select a new one.
Rally-X didn't leave as sour a taste in my mouth because nobody remembers or cares what the original Rally-X was even like. In its new incarnation it consists of a 3D overhead view of your little nunchuk-controlled car trying to grab some flags.
It's a good thing this pack will reportedly have "over fourteen games" in it because at five minutes of entertainment a piece you'll at least get about an hour out of it!
