The first SFC title will always hold a special place in my heart, it was a magical experience back in 1991. But objectively I'd say Goemon 2 on the SFC was the best. I've only played a small part of Goemon 4 on SFC though, so that opinion may change when I finally get around to playing it all the way through. I recall it being quite different to the rest of the series. Goemon 3 was a blast and I somehow managed to complete it without any knowledge of Japanese or any walkthrough!

When I first saw this video on my feed, I assumed it was a Jimmy Hapa video, but I'm really happy to see your take on the series (and more!). Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is my favorite N64 game and really left an impression on me. With Konami pumping out these game collections lately, let's hope for a Goemon Collection!

Man you are seriously surprising me. Goemon is literally one of my favorite platforming franchises and mascots. Tbh i wasn't really into Sonic, Mario, Banjo, Crash, Spyro, Rayman, Shantae and etc. Though the only platformer that comes close to my favorite series is Ape Escape. Love the series and that reoccurring antagonist Kabuki. I have actually thought about cosplaying as him at some point to show my love and appreciation for this series.

Jordi Vinyals as far as three videos in the same style that interconnect, yes. It doesn’t mean the end of Konami based videos, but anything after Parodius would be slightly different. Like if I did I Castlevania, it couldn’t be like, hey look at these weird games never released in English you know? I’m kind of stuck with too many ideas and not enough time to do them. I do want to get into more non gaming videos and all kinds of stuff to make a more varied channel but only so much I can do, unless I got a crew to write edit and promote this stuff to get them out faster. Or if by miracle I got 50,000 subscribers overnight, I think I could quit my job and really get to it. The rest of the year is planned out, mostly written already too and I think you’ll like it, with Parodius being the season finale

While the DS Goemon game being the last great title in the series is a bit sad, the good news is that the qame did inspire Nintendo's Takahiro Harada to develop a new Wario Land game for the Wii & hiring some of the former Konami devs that worked on said Goemon game. This led to Good-Feel developing the aforementioned & fantastic Wario Land: Shake It!/The Shake Dimension & paving the way for the devs to create great titles like Kirby's Epic Yarn, Yoshi's Woolly World & recently released Yoshi's Crafted World.

@@GTV-Japan I completely agree. I think he just didn't get a proper marketing push the way Contra or Castlevania did, which are obviously more Western influenced titles. I knew maybe like 2 people who had actually played the SNES title and I only played it on an emulator years later. I remember seeing EGM magazine cover the PS2 game briefly and that left me with major blue balls 😂

What a coincidence, I’ve just been playing a lot of Ganbare! Goemon on the Famicom (recently got the cartridge in the mail, and it came with Japanese snacks to boot!!). So far I’ve made it as far as stage 5, but the game started glitching up at that point and eventually froze up on me (I use a front loading NES with a 72-pin adaptor, so that unfortunately tends to happen because there are so many electrical contacts that can wind up not connecting properly).

As for the snacks, I got this fish shaped cookie thing that was filled with chocolate, and this weird curry flavored cracker stick thing that I wound up throwing in the trash because I simply don’t care for foods that are so potent that your sweat ends up smelling like whatever you just ate.

Yeah the concept is kind of that your playing/watching a Kabuki show. I talked about super Mario 3 in another video and did not mention the whole “it’s a play” thing and got asked about it but to me it’s not a big deal because I know nearly everything is supposed to be like a play. Thanks for watching

Mystical Ninja is quite possibly my favorite video game aside from Pokemon EVER. I rented the Super Nintendo Cartridge week after week to listen to the music and find the WILDEST monsters. Then the N64 version came out and I was skeptical because of the animation change but I remember being enamored with it; there was a giant robot if I remember correctly and you play as a puppet Goemon for part of the game too. I don't remember that one as well but I remember being satisfied that the torch had been passed.

A man that has made quite a name for himself over the last 400 or so years. With his body of work including but limited to, books, movies, anime, video games, T-shirts, and all kinds of tchotchkes He would probably die from shock if he ever knew about all of it! While the man was alive, very little was actually known, and only may year after his death did his name and legacy pick up steam. But let's try to give a clear, accurate description of Goemon, separating fact from fiction, as much as we can In 1989 a sequel was released for the Family Computer, which set Ganbare Goemon into motion The Legend of the Mystical Ninja was released in February 1992 in the US and was reviewed They even slipped in a Tanooki statue on a few pages.Probably inadvertently, as these Tanooki statues are well known across Japan for their big, Ganbare Goemon; Sara-wareta Ebisumaru, Kidnapped Ebisumaru, is a scaled down version, similar As we conclude this chapter of the story, there were 11 games released between 1986 In the next act, Goemon returns as the Mystical Ninja in 3-D and Our Hero brings down a notable American game company.But the game would be reborn in 1997 when Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, as it was In Kurofune Tou no Nazo, Mystery of the Black Ship Gang, Yae is kidnapped and its up to In Neo MomoYama Bafuki no Odori, Dance of New Peach Mountain Shogun, as it would be series led to anime and manga series, plus Goemon appeard in other media over the last Ganbare Goemon: Save the World in 1998 adventure of Goemon, Ebisumaru and friends as they fight against the evil Makamuge in just commonly used in Japanes opening in 1976 with over 200 locations forever me.

Another excellent video! Mystical Ninja was a game I rented a lot back in the days. I managed to get the Goemon games on Super Famicom but as you say, they are not easy if you don't understand Japanese and my knowledge of Japanese is not high enough for text-heavy games. That Goemon PS2 RPG looked pretty nice I must say, too bad Sony back in the days of PSX and PS2 were lame and prevented a lot of games from coming to North America (or simply outside Japan) Looking forward to your next video!

Ahh this feels so close to home. I never had a N64 but I had 7 cds that had all the ROMs for the console (welp minus de N64DD ones) so basically I went through almost the whole catalogue of titles. The Ganbare Goemon ones were my favourite, I remember playing Goemon's Great Adventure a lot but never getting too far, I wasn't fluent in english at the time and didn't think outside the box so I could never get those darn entry passes. After that the one that it's basically Ocarina of Time with Goemon is also really cool, the intro cutscene of Ebisumaru naked and the Spaceship converting the Edo castle into an european one were ahead of their time. I even tried playing Mononoke Sugoroku but if I wasn't fluent in English, I definetly wasn't fluent in Japanese but damn if I tried haha (There's a Yu Gi Oh! game on the GBA that is basically the same game, talking about recycling). The Goemon series was something that if you got exposed to as a kid, would have turn you into somewhat of a weeb when you grow up. The music was one of the highest points of its repertoir, completely unforgetable.
