During the Spring 2001 Tokyo Game Show (TGS), Namco showed off three new games for the WonderSwan Color. One of these was a Pac-Man game, titled Super GPS Pac-Man (GPS超!!パックマン). The game would use a new GPS accessory to connect to the NTT DoCoMo Network. It would then convert the user's current location into a maze, with the streets acting as tunnels and moving vehicles in the area acting as ghosts. The gameplay would be the same as a standard Pac-Man game and would feature Pac-Man eating pellets while running away from ghosts.<ref>[https://www.unseen64.net/2012/09/29/super-gps-pac-man-wonderswan-color-cancelled/ Unseen64 article on the game]</ref> | During the Spring 2001 Tokyo Game Show (TGS), Namco showed off three new games for the WonderSwan Color.
