You forgot the most important line in the history of the franchise: PU RA SU MAAAAA

I would never in a million years figured out the meaning of "Hoe hoe~" by myself.

Man to find this now as a 32 year old guy is epic. Always wondered what they were saying as a german kid, thank you :D

Thanks a million for this! I grew up on these games (based in the US) and have wondered for so many years what the characters say. The mystery is finally solved!

Takes me back to trying to mimic what they were saying with my cousin as a kid. We were way off

I was today thinking at work what would the characters say in the original Japanese game, if someday a retranslation would be a reality. And after some hours I see this in my feed. Mind blown.

0:37 As a kid, I thought he was saying "That's sooo-" and asking, "That's so WHAT?!"

Goemon 64 was one of my first introductions to Japanese culture and I was very surprised when I started watching anime and recognized a few lines that also appeared in the game! Specifically, it was "ikuwayo!" in the first episode of Ranma 1/2. I'm kinda surprised they left these voice lines in the English version, this was an era where game localizers tried to scrub every trace of non-English stuff from their games.

Oh man, it's insane the level of flavor knowing what the characters say adds to the game. It's a shame here in the west we only got two Goemon games, because _they're hilarious_ even if some of the cultural references flew over my head. Thanks for the translation!

Nicely done! If I'm not mistaken, Goemon and friends also have "getting hurt" voicelines, and let's not forget about Impact, he also has voicelines.

I actually figured out a lot of these on my own over the years, but this is great for anyone wondering what the cast is saying. I love Ebisumaru's quirky Kansai dialect.

I can't stop coming back to this video. My childhood nostalgia has never been so indulged, nor has my childhood bemusement ever been so fully satisfied. Few other notes, because there's often a lot of ways to translate the same phrase. "Mada" on its own means "yet," so I've always heard "madamada!" as "now then!" which can be used as a greeting in the UK, but what's important here is that it can also be used threateningly. Sasuke's "I have to say I'm sorry" could be translated as "my sincerest apologies." I've had a character in D&D say this when hitting zero HP so that one proper resonated with me :P I appreciate the restraint shown in not translating all of Ebi's Kansai-dialect lines to be with a phonetic southern drawl though.

Sasuke and Yae's voices are cute.

We need a Switch version.

I'm so happy that I found this, I literally lived like, 10 years without knowing what they were saying. Thank you sm and keep uploading these type of videos !

im surprised this doesnt have more views

hopefully one day, we will see rereleases, remakes or even new games.

This was amazing! Great job! I think the only things you're missing were: -The lines said when baton passing during an Impact Battle in GGA/MN2 (I know Goemon and Ebisumaru are some variant of "tanomu", or "I'm counting on you!". It's been a while so I don't quite recall Sasuke and Yae's.) -The special jutsu quotes in both 64 games. Of note is Sasuke in GGA/MN2, who says "henshin!", or "Transform!". (IIRC Yae also has a quote, but I don't recall it atm either.) -The greeting from the other eatery in Oedo in GGA/MN2. -Goemon/Omitsu Impact's "Hyakuretsu Punch" or "100-Hit Punch" (lit. "Hundred Rending Punches).

This is tremendous! ✌️ I listen to Mystical Ninja’s OST while studying Japanese & this popped-up in related videos today… more great Japanese practice… and I can finally understand those phrases I heard thousands of times as a kid & never understood

Thank you so much for putting all of this together, even though the phrases are small, it satiates a huge curiosity and brings more understanding.

Yo, just found this channel today. Amazing work. Thank you so much for putting this together. I loved this game more than Banjo and Super Mario 64 and I'm gutted I don't have more friends in my close circle to chat about it with. I'd love to see a breakdown of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon's plot and the popularity of the series in Japan.

And here I thought Ebisumaru said "What is it now"

Very Educational!

It seems youtube read my mind. I was thinking on what the translation was. I played this game like 20 years ago. Thabks for this! For many years Goemon was my favorite game.

When me and my brother were young, we misheard Goemon saying Ikuze as "Izay" and thought that was his name as well. We even wrote "Izay" on top of the cartridge with a permanent marker. Boy, we were wrong all this time.

4:14 I think the voice in the Pokemon Stadium Lickitung minigame says this too!

4:09 if I'm not mistaken, I remember that same phrase being spoken in one of Pokemon Stadiums minigames as well when lickitung is eating sushi. Very interesting.

Omg i love this! I knew some of the Japanese words like "X Sanjo!" But i would have never guessed that Ebisumaru's Hoi-hoi's were cat noises! Lol God i love these games. Thank you for this.

That is really cool, Very useful if I ever need to use Goemon voice lines for future projects.

What an excellent video!! I've always wondered what they were saying since playing the games as a child. Love this!

When I continuously press the switch character button- I hear this: *poof* equip *poof* boye boyeee! *poof* itchy buttercup!

Thank you for this channel! Always takes me back.

I’ve been looking all over the internet for this. Thank you. You did a great job!

This is so useful! I always loved the N64 Goemon games, and these little phrases have been stuck in my head for years ^_^ Thank you, GI!

This is awesome! Thank you! Was wondering this all these years

Thank god for these kinds of videos!! Keep up the good work!

Ebisumaru is now in Smash Remix my fellow Mystical Ninja fan :)

Just found this video and it brings me so much joy to know what they are all saying!! You did a great job with the presentation and I really hope to see more content from you 🙂

This is really cool! Thanks for making this!

Just have my unconditional love and subscription since you are creating content for this amazing hidden gem of a series.

Love this clarity and detail! I always wondered what they said.

Thank you so much for this. I started researching this on my own but had a hard time with some of them because I just couldn't understand exactly what the characters were saying due to to the N64's low sound quality. Liked and subbed, I need more Goemon in my life!

I appreciate the work you’re doing. Consider some more Goemon translation videos, it’s beyond fascinating.

Interesting! I knew some of those, but its cool to see all the translations!

I've wanted something like this since I first played the game! Thank you!

Great video. Thanks.

Thank you so much for this! 🙏🥰

You solved a 20+ year old mystery for me and my brothers!! Ty!!!

Thanks for your channel.

I never knew kurae meant eat this! and it really is. very interesting.

I've wondered my whole life what they were exactly saying. Its nice knowing my guesses weren't too far off lol.

Thank you for this video. It was very helpful.

Thanks for this video!

I have family from Hachioji, when they came to the States and saw me playing this, they went crazy with excitement. I had forgotten about these call outs. I was fortunate enough to have them translate for me years ago, but not fortunate enough to remember them 😅

Finally! This video was a great idea.

It's wild to me that due to compression, Ive been hearing these wrong all my life. Like, Ive been hearing LESS syllables and hearing lots of "ii" noises that just arent there. I could have sworn they were: 0:14 Ikusei 0:26 Teyambi 0:37 THATS ALL (thanks bugs bunny) 0:51 Kudaeh! Heii! 1:01 Hiiyei! Koronuka! 1:11 Arei--oompah

すごい！Sugoi! (amazing!)

amazing work

I love this!

Thanks for this!

You know what? If Japanese were my first language growing up I still would've needed this video because hot dang those voice samples are so compressed. Goemon's "ikuze" and "kurae" were the only ones I genuinely recognized but there were loads of others I needed this guide to decipher despite already knowing the phrases (and plenty more that I didn't, of course.) I never could tell Sasuke and Yae were saying the exact same thing when being switched in :P

PURASUMAAAAA

you're doing a public service

Lol for the longest time I thought Ebisumaru was saying "what is it now" or "watch me now" in English since he likes to show off and speak English. Never would have thought he'd saying Bacchiri denna... Also, Goemon's accent is thickkkkk

(Relaxed cat dounds) Dammit, Ebisumaru, *you worry me.*

Super Dope! 🎉

Love it!

I waited like snif snif 20 years for this video snif now I know what theyre saying, thank you

Thank you! When I played this as a kid I thought they were speaking english with strong accents.

thanks. awesome vid.

I always wondered, what does Goemon say when youcomolete a sidequest? I never got what he was saying, but couldn't shake the sound "Te atrapé" (Spanish for: "Gotcha!") from whatever he says. Please help! I know I'm wrong, but can't shake that sound from... Whatever he says.

3:48 I always thought he was saying "What am I thinking?"

2:53 I always heard Ebisumaru say, "What is it now?!" 🤨 It felt like he was taunting after picking up the Lucky Fortune Cat item.

Hooray, 9/11 Goemon upload.

I love Ikuze! and Aroyotta!

I love this game so dang much!!

thank you!

Very cool!

wow ! how i never find this video before !?

2:40 ...the Ebisumaru quote, I like making sometimes ...is just relaxed Japanese cat sounds?

I always thought Yae said "YAE HANDS OFF!"

I wish we had more game dialog explanations like this. Id like to know what the characters in Twinkle Star Sprites are saying 😂

Ah, so that is what they were saying. I kind of figured that it would be like that.

Ebisumaru has been called by my friend and I "egeemahgooka" so seeing what it actually is both funny and sad.

0:13 I always thought this was “EED-VIG” as a kid 😆?!

There's one building where you enter and it sounds like they say "Yeah yeah, Spaghettiooooos!"

So thats what Raku Shou means lol

Katajikenai!

The things I used to think they were saying back when I was 9 and thought they were speaking English are so embarrassing.

Robert Garcia's Quote In KOF 3:42

海外版のゴエモンの音声を知らなかったけど、結構ちゃんと訳されてるんだね

I always thought goemon was saying "ebay!"

For Goemons's attack 3 he says Arayotto which translates to Hi-yah, but to me it sounds like he's saying I Love Pop I'm sorry I can't unhear that.

8:41 I love to hear this

In GGA, Ebisu uses the Solid Megaphone saying something like “Oni!” Does that mean “monster”?

Does anyone know what Ebisumaru says when he does the butt-slam? It sounds like “pipichawa”

Is this a quirk of the game audio or is Japanese really this difficult? At 1:00 he says "eiyā" and it sounds more like "chyea". And when he says koredemoka, it sounds more like koredemoga 「これでもが」... which would make me paranoid, because in my experience of foreign languages, you change one little sound and it suddenly means something completely different like "I want to eat a toilet".

😲 - Woah!

I always thought he said “fatso” because he was getting fat health from them dolls. Not sure why he’d speak English outta nowhere tho.
