Pac-man & Galaga Dimensions - limited save data details

30 July 2011
GN Version 4.0
Pac-Man TILT
+High score from EX level 1 - needs 10 medals to open EX1
Level progression 1-25 +5 EX unlockable levels Each level needs to be unlocked by playing the previous level. EX levels are unlocked after earning medals in level progression.

Other games in the bundle see smaller restrictions due to the single save file. The one file will claim and/or affect the following:

Galaga 3D Impact

Score Ranking
Keeps one of each of the + scores mentioned above to submit to online Ranking boards.
Keeps a gamer name which the player can input via onscreen keyboard.

Apparently it'll take awhile to fill up all of these things, but I'm pretty sure the controversy here doesn't have anything to do with the length of the game, but the restricting of freedom to use and replay the game how you choose.
