They would still own the rights to it even though it wasn't created by them right?

Ms. Pac-Man should be an alt in SSBU

baffling as to why she isn't since other characters have male/female variants

It is a messy situation with Ms. Pac-Man. The article below covers it well.

They need to acknowledge .hack so Cyber Connect Japan can do remasters of IMOQ, Link, or an entirely new game.

so it sounds like namco could make a ms pac man game, but if they do they must pay royalties to atgames.

I've always liked Ms. Pac-man better, I dunno what it is.
Maybe it's because she has actual character?

Probably not if they only sold it in Japan but it wouldn't be worth the money to do that. Pac-Man isn't really the money maker it used to be.

If you only played the Atari 2600 versions Pac-Man was a barely functioning Trainwreck and Ms Pac-Man was the same quality as the arcade.
