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.

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.[1]
Both the game and GPS accessory were quietly cancelled, and no trace of either have remained.
