Have you ever gotten into a game because of its sprites?

And it's wierd how some things stay 8-Bit while others get a 3D model makeover. The Wrecking Crew stage is all 3D while Pac-Land stays in it's ugly form.

I can understand them keeping something 8-Bit if it's iconic. The 3DS Pac-Maze stage makes sense to keep like that since everyone recognizes that location. I could say the same about the 75m stage.

I love how Wrecking Crew looks. It's perfectly translated to quality 3D, while being recognizable. The 3DS Pac-Maze stage should've been Pac Man's stage on both platforms, especially with the massively iconic maze on the background in its Omega form. Seriously, way more people know Pac Man more than Pac Land, let alone the ones who play it on console. Bla bla gimmick that only works on 3DS bla bla, neither Gaur Plains nor Wily's Castle are technically the same on both platforms.
