NOW, JIM. STOP YOUR BITCHING AND BUY THE OUTDATED VERSIONS OF THE NEW PAC MAN/GALAGA GAMES. GAWD, YOU'RE SO FAT.
;D
;D
Ok...? So its. At least possible. That should make people happy. Oh who am I kidding this is Dtoid and this is a 3DS article bring on the complaints.
This is for that system no one bought right? heh.
I probably still won't pick the game up. I don't like what this whole situation says about their intentions. Either they wanted to keep me from reselling the game on the used market or they let something blow up that didn't need to. At any rate, hiding the reset option from the end user is ludicrous. So it conveniently forgetting you had one.

News from the future: Holding "ABXYLR" is actually the way to corrupt your Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions game!
I agree with Epic-Kx...I just opened my eyes just now and realized how FAT you are! Is there a reset command for that? :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
In order to delete your saved game from Capcom you must purchase a new version and swap the old game into the new package. Have your grandma return the game stating that "her grandson" already owned this game for his 8th birthday and he would rather like the cash.
BOOOOMMM!!!!!
BOOOOMMM!!!!!
Considering that they opted for Pac-Man Championship Edition and not C.E. DX on the cart, I'm going to say just plain ol' "incompetent."
Of perhaps they smelled the potential backlash and decided to make it erasable...but why the code? Why not just have, ya know, a standard option to delete the save...W.T.F.
@Jim
Has this changed your mind on purchasing the game, or does the fact that they even touted a single-save still tarnish it?

Why would they keep this hidden? Is it like a throwback to the past where you had to hold buttons for cheats? This is fucking stupid. Lie about the damn game and then let everyone know it's a cheat code. Ugh.
@Spectreman
good luck with that, I think the big N probably sold this as an amazing feature to 3rd parties.
I remember reading a gmaing news article a while back on how 3rd parties were raving on the antipirating/security features of a particular Nintendo system. Is this it? or am i thinking about the then unannounced wii-u?

I was interested in this game due to Pac-Man CE and Galaga Legions being included, but was holding out because I didn't want to support this kind of save issue, so this is great to hear! Thank you for digging deeper and discovering this Jim! I'm off to go pick this game up while it's still on sale for $30.
The single save wasn't copied from RE: The Mercs 3D - Blazblue 3DS had it, and a few other 3DS games had it well before Mercs 3D.
Holding all the buttons down to erase saved data on a handheld isn't new. It's been done in DS games & it's mentioned in some 3DS manuals, like OoT 3D.
While I still think it's not that bad considering it's just a score/time attack game (believe me, if this was done on something like an RPG where I couldn't start over again from the beginning of the story, yeah, I'd be mad), I don't get why they'd keep this hidden (unless stated in the manual like mentioned before).

Now we just need to hear some no-name American game representative call out 3DS publishers on this behavior and we'll be golden.
" On another, Namco was either incompetent or outright lying before now, with no indicator as to which. "
Or you were just overreacting prematurely to create teh hits on dtoid.
As Bobyko said nothing new, Mario Kart games usually support this method.
Next time wait till you have all the facts or better yet when the game actually comes out to bitch and complain about microscopically small missing features that are actually there :/

I'm going to go with incompetent, since they wouldn't have said this if they were trying to keep it secret.
This. Is. Strange.
Also @ Epic-Kx how do I know that you are the real deal and not someone that is pretending to be the real Epic-KxDtoid?????

I don't get it. The game has been out for like a week or more, and even after the entire gaming internet exploded in negativity about single save 3DS games, Namco themselves went about buisness per usual, without a single word as Pac-Man/Galaga took a huge hit. (I myself didn't buy this game after hearing about a single save feature.)
Namco could have come out and said 'Yeah it has a single save, but you can delete it.' and everything would have been fine. They didn't, and that leads anyone who's thinking to assume they're beyond stupid, or just plain ol' liars.

Hmm so it had a secret data deletion system the whole time?
That would seem normal.
A lot of games used to do that in the cartridge days.
Even if the code is hard to find or hardly spoken of its better than not having it at all.
So Namco gets some points for knowing what their doing still.
However they should smack the guy who thought it was a good idea to say it was locked.
That's negative advertisement right there.
Or maybe they did it on purpose to grab some attention from the controversy then turn around and say they are on the up and up.
Kinda like a prank or scare to try and shock everyone then show off that it wasn't true and they were cool the whole time.
Think they could just make a something good enough to stand on its own instead really in that case.

This controversy over "perma-save" seems a little excessive. Haven't cartridge based games being doing that for years? I've just bought Advance Wars 2 for GBA from eBay and am taunted before each level by the S-rank of the previous owner no matter what I delete.
Swine that he was! He had some mad Advance Wars skills. Keeps me motivated at least. Great game too btw.
