Designer and composer Andrew Elmore has published a comprehensive documentary that documents every Namco Museum entry ever released, offering an exhaustive look at the long-running compilation series from Bandai Namco.
Background
Namco Museum began as a formal effort to package and celebrate Namco's arcade and early console catalogues during the 32-bit PlayStation era and has since appeared across multiple hardware platforms.
Bandai Namco and partners such as Hamster have continued to re-release and preserve classic Namco titles for modern systems.
Elmore’s new project aims to assemble and present that compilation history in one place.
Project announcement and release
Elmore first announced the documentary on June 16, 2026, and after a three-year production period he premiered the final video on Friday, June 26, 2026.
The release went live at 8:00 PM on Elmore’s YouTube channel.
The completed presentation runs for roughly two hours and is intended as an archival guide to every Namco Museum collection and its various ports.
Scope and methodology
Elmore described the documentary’s scope as exhaustive.
In journalistic terms: he said the project covers every port of every Namco compilation released across all platforms and regions, with no exceptions.
He also confirmed the work took approximately three years to research and assemble and that supporters could opt to have their names included in the final credits.
Creator background
Andrew Elmore’s career includes roles at Epic and Bungie, and he previously produced the Ridge Racer Type 4 tribute album Real Racing Roots (2019).
That background in game audio and design informed the documentary’s archival and presentation approach.
Why it matters
Collections like Namco Museum play a notable role in how legacy publishers manage and monetize classic IP across modern storefronts, from classic PlayStation packages to modern digital services.
This documentary provides a single, timestamped reference for preservation-minded players, historians, and developers tracking how Namco’s catalog has been repackaged over decades.
How to watch
The full documentary is available now on YouTube via Andrew Elmore’s channel.
For readers researching Namco Museum releases or seeking a platform-by-platform inventory, Elmore’s video provides a near two-hour, consolidated resource.
