An audio expansion that's built into certain Famicom cartridges, to be specific - ones with a Namco 163 mapper chip, which happens to have one of the most advanced examples. There's quite a few different mappers that had on-board expansion sound with differing capabilities. The reason why the NES doesn't support them is because the pin that carried the expansion audio got relocated to the bottom of the console, presumably for the North American version of the disk system add-on. The Japanese Famicom Disk System supplies its expansion audio through its RAM Adapter, which plugs into the cartridge port and connects to the floppy drive via a built-in cable. NoA probably just wanted to consolidate these features and reduce the amount of cables without realizing that not only would the add-on fail and go unreleased overseas, but expansion sound hardware would eventually become cheap and compact enough to fit within in standalone games - in both a figurative and literal sense.

holy camoly that looks epic on real hardware great job on testing this out!

It's hard to believe that this is in fact played on physical hardware! I'm shocked.

And it's NOW ON THE SWITCH as part of the Namco Museum Archives!

This is stunning! This, among other stellar works, showcase that limitations seem to force more innovation and creativity for developers.

Kinda disappointing that the Composite video artifacts mess up the text that appears before and after gameplay. Otherwise the fact this exists is amazing.

If this was released, it would likely be on a Famicom Disk System, most likely on the blue disks that Nintendo used for high score tournaments. It'll be perfect for this game.

If this game really came out in the old days of nes, people will say this game is a commercial success because of the music, and everything, and it would bring the nes to its rise.

This would have been very impressive back in the old days

Looks like the sound is fizzy due to Namco 163's multiplexing. I assume Namco's emulator didn't want to emulate the fizziness of N163.

I wonder if Namco commisioned this specifically to show off the power of their N163 sound chip. I know one thing for certain thiugh - they had the best sound on the NES by a mile!

It's Namco. Of course it uses the Namco N163. This MMC chip replicates the audio chip Namco used in the arcades in the early 1980s with its eight waveform channels. This kind of audio would not work with DPCM, since the NES can only store so many samples and the DPCM channel can only do so much. The DPCM channel has no pitch and volume control and it is the only channel on the Ricoh 2A03 that can play things other than pulse waves, triangle wave and noise waves. Because of these limitations, the DPCM channel was mostly used for drums and short voice clips only. The Namco N163 was the only was to emulate the sound effects from the original Pac-Man faithfully.

Okay, so basically: 1. A Japanese homebrew dev made this and tried to get Namco to release it. They declined. 2. Bandai Namco eventually picked it up and hired M2 to make some tweaks; one of these included expanding the playable area and changing the mapper from MMC3 to N163, which is responsible for the sound enhancements used extensively here. 3. It released by Bandai Namco as part of the Namcot Collection in Japan, Namcot being Namco's old home console game brand there. 4. Then, the game was released outside of Japan as Namco Museum Archives.
