Dimensions was created by Takahiro Okano and Takahisa Sugiyama, who were commissioned by Namco Bandai to produce a compilation as a way to celebrate the 30th anniversaries of Galaga and Pac-Man, and to bridge the two franchises together in a single package. The two exclusive games were built to take advantage of the new features included in the 3DS, which had launched before production began. Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions were added due to neither having been released on a portable system beforehand, and for being important entries in their respective series.
Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions received mixed reviews from critics. Though the emulation quality and the inclusion of Pac-Man Championship Edition and Galaga Legions received praise, reviewers were critical of the compilation's overall quality, the small screen resolution, and its high retail price. While some believed the exclusive games made the package worthwhile, others believed they were of subpar quality and suffered from poor 3D effects and controls.
