It's very interesting that this Plug N Play's Sound test uses the Dig Dug sounds and music from their original Namco 5-1 plug n play rather than the one included, (but playing with the sound chip of this plug n play.)
I love how Jr. Pac-Man was going to be in this. It would be cool if we could see Jr. in the future. He doesn't seem to get much love nowadays. Well, except from his ghostly girlfriend.
This Plug 'n Play was released in 2009, so the AtGames issue shouldn't matter here. As for the licensing with GCC, that's doubtful as well. From my understanding, GCC was only responsible for the creation of Crazy Otto, which they sold to Midway after they fell under. It was Midway then that transformed Crazy Otto into Ms. Pac-Man. Well, they caught heat with Namco and Namco ended up purchasing the rights to Ms. Pac-Man (hence why that game shows up on many Namco Museums and other compilations, but Jr. Pac-Man doesn't. Also worth noting is that they weren't as impressed with Jr. Pac-Man as Ms. Pac-Man). From there, it was Midway that created Jr. Pac-Man (along with Professor Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man), so GCC doesn't matter following Crazy Otto (this explanation was recreated from fragile memories, so if I said anything incorrect, feel free to correct me). The only thing that has me confused is Pac-Man Plus. That game was also created by Midway, yet Namco has acknowledged it for their Plug 'n Plays and even for the Pac-Man's Pixel Bash arcade machine. My guess is that because it's an "upgraded" version of the original Pac-Man, Namco decided to give it the okay on some regards.
I mostly said my comment due to the recent events, so even though it was planned for this, nowadays it would be impossible, not without sacrificing quality. Also, Ms. Pac-Man hasn't been included in a Namco Museum since Virtual Arcade on Xbox 360 from 2008, and that was technically a port from a year prior. The last time it was included in the same way the others are was 50th Anniversary in 2005. Sad that Jr. Pac-Man was planned, but fell through. Arcade1Up has been making Pac-Man cabinets surprisingly with Pac-Man Plus and Pac-Land (Pac-Man Plus because of Midway, Pac-Land due to overall low re-release rate despite being owned by Namco), yet due to this AtGames situation, no Ms. Pac-Man.
Ms. Pac-Man was on the home releases of the Pac-Man's Arcade Party/Pixel Bash machines, as well as DLC for Pac-Man Museum, but that is a good point that I didn't even consider. I applaud you for your knowledge.
the game was supposed to be on this console and on the super Pac-Man plug n play I saw what would’ve looked lit look like on both consoles on the fandom
@@evandombrowski410 Right. But I'm saying it's not used in the Plug and Play version of Pole Position. As an owner of a Ms. Pac Man Jakks Pacific Plug and Play, I can confirm to you that the tune never plays in the game.
I would appreciate it if people stopped leaving comments of just timestamps in here. It's very redundant, unnecessary, and the amount of times I've gotten the comments has made it start to get annoying. Please try to be constructive with your comments. :)

man i'd love to know how they recreated these games, because these are really impressive for 2008, long before the days of powerful and power efficient SoCs were available
It's even more impressive since most of these games seem nearly (or fully) identical to the previous plug & plays they were on separately, so a lot of these recreations probably go back as far as 2004 and 2006 (There was also the 2003 pac-man plug & play but the 2008 versions are updated a bit)

It looks like Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man were planned to be included in this console, but for some reason they decided not to add it...

So sound test
Is bascially the soundtrack
They could have even made a pac family plug and play with Ms pac man pac man and jr pac man
its sound exactly taken from the 8bit namco plug n play for certain ones

Jr. Pac-Man isn't on the Plug 'n Play, no. It's just that the game's in the sound test for unknown reasons.

The tunes are off-key.
This is only the case for a few games. However, some games sound like they're between pitches on the original arcade games, and this Plug 'n Play sort of corrects that for some games (Super Pac-Man, Mappy, and Pac & Pal are good examples of this).
I see.
@@anthonycassimiro2295 Here's a comparison if you want it, for the main theme of Mappy:

It's worth noting that the variant of the main theme in Mappy Arrangement is in the same key as the Plug 'n Play version (it also just so happens that the sound in Namco Museum 50th Anniversary was pitched up to that level as well), so it's possible that the Plug 'n Play version is the intended key for the song after all (though, that doesn't explain why the music is pitched down in the Pac-Man Connect and Play).
What’s she saying at 10:47?
The first one is "Prepare to qualify". I always interpreted the second one as "Great job, you qualified to race"
@@SuperViperT302 The second one is "Great driving, you've qualified to race".
Can that video be louder than that?
Unfortunately, no.
Is that music unused? 17:34-17:40
Those are the name entry themes, 1st place and 2nd-5th place respectively.
@@SuperViperT302 For some reason, 17:34 was the 2nd-5th place music while 17:40 was the 1st place music in this plug and play
