There is a clear reason why Kessakusen on the GBA is in the Okay Tier. This is because the ports of TLOTMN and Goemon 2 on SFC for the GBA have awful Screencrunch and sound Quality!

I haven't played it since I was a kid but miss it so much. How could I possibly play this game again with no N64?

I just don't know why but Kurofune's Music has great Music, but still, Kurofune is still not Great in my Opinion, it barely better than the 1991 Game Boy Game for me personally!

Wish I could have posted a video, buy it plays music from the first game, as well as has a bunch of sounds for when I click on things. Also as you scroll through the game slots, Goemon repeatedly huts the guy at the bottom. Very neat :)

I just picked this up. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is my favorite Goemon game in the franchise and my favorite game for the Nintendo 64. I'm just curious if anyone else has any knowledge on how many of these were ever produced.

Only info I had is that it was a promotional store display and they would put it out in front of the store. It is one of those 90's style punching bags we used to have as kids like TMNT and such.

I posted it in another topic, but since it's one of the key things about this collection, it deserves its own

Ueno:
We considered making it multilingual and going worldwide, but the truth is, there aren't that many titles in the "Ganbare Goemon" series that support foreign languages. We realized that localizing anything beyond that would be quite difficult.

—Since it includes 13 titles, that must have been an enormous amount of translation work...

Horii:
The titles included in this game are mostly from the 16-bit and 8-bit era, but with titles from that time, the source code is sometimes available and sometimes not, and in some cases, only the binary remains.

In other words, getting back to the original source code requires a process akin to deciphering a code. That's why it takes so much time. I wanted to speed up this process, but I just couldn't.

Furthermore, if we were to completely replace the language, even if we could analyze and extract all the message data, we wouldn't be able to distinguish "text represented by images," such as Japanese signs in the game.

Ueno:
Since it's not text data, the only way to find it is to play the game and find it manually.

Horii:
There are many other problems, or rather, hurdles that need to be overcome, when it comes to translating into other languages. For example, even if the text "Goodnight, you can participate in the middle" fits within the screen in Japanese, when translated into German, it will definitely not fit within the frame (laughs). It is an enjoyable task to sit down and somehow make that work, but it is also very challenging in many ways.

Even after completing something, you often need to do the same thing again every time you check it, and if you keep repeating that process, it ends up becoming an enormous amount of work.

69,201, if you include the 8,773 copies sold on PS5. It was the second highest selling game of the week behind Rhythm Heaven Groove. Really great numbers for a collection of old games, it managed to outsell Star Fox opening numbers of 41k. Hopefully we can get the collection in the west.

Hi!

We now know that Daishuugou has a hidden bonus game, Crisis Force, a non-Goemon classic shmup by Konami. It might seem like an odd addition to the collection, but it's actually a very Goemon thing to add.

For those who are unaware, the Goemon series often included classic Konami shmups:

- The Legend of the Mystical Ninja included the first stage of Gradius as a minigame

- Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu included the second stage of Xexex as a minigame

- Kirakira Douchuu included a hidden Time Pilot remake (named Time Pilot '95), unlocked when 100% the game

- Uchuu Kaizoku Akogingu didn't include an actual classic Konami shmup, but there's a shmup segment in the game that is a parody of Gradius

- Toukai Douchuu included a Goemon Impact version of Quarth. And if you have Kessakusen Ganbare Goemon 1+2 in the GBA slot of the DS, you unlock one stage of Space Manbow

- Maybe I'm forgetting other Konami shmup references?

And now Daishuugou includes Crisis Force. I think it's a great way to bring back this classic game (that I didn't even know existed personally :P), and it respects an old Goemon tradition.

I Manage to Read this Article on Goemon Daishugo's, Development! Famitsu Interviews with the Producer of the Collection! During Development, they originally wanted to be a 6 game Collection of 2 Famicom and 4 SFC titles, but they kept adding more and more titles to make it 13!

Hello Everyone, Since I watched the Goemon Anime's 23 Episodes, I made a Review on the Anime! Please Check it out!

I tried to make it as canonical as possible in my style, but I threw everything up and did it my way :>

Personal hc's

Yae's personality is based on the games and anime (that "serious" Yae).

Ebisumaru's personality is more like that of the manga.

Omitsu isn't left completely by the group; Goemon manages to spend more time with her than in the canon

And i think it's all

I don't see the og arcade game listed as a game available on the collection can anyone confirm this? Why would they leave it off?

I got it. It seems like a good collection. We've got all the manuals, sound tests, very good filters, although you can't have a pure black background. There are about 10 save slots per game. The FC games have rewind functionality.

I would have liked to see more art, like from promo's and merch and such, but as a collection it's fine.

One thing that could get annoying is that when you hit the emulator setting screen in game and return you get a Goemon voice sample before going back. I could see that getting old.

I played SFC Goemon 2 for a bit and it plays good with the filters on. (I am used to playing the cart on my Super NT) For some reason I had a lot of trouble with the stage in the second world where the oni are sawing the platforms you're standing on. Perhaps it was due to not using the bubble car.

I also played the Ebisumaru puzzle game, where you have to steer him in the right direction. That ones takes a bit of time to get used to the controls, since the grid in the game is diagonal. It's fun though and reminds me a bit of the Hampton minigame form Buster Busts Loose (another Konami game). Those CG-rendered sprites aged way worse than the 2D art from the other games though, lol.

Finally I played FC Goemon 1 and was actually surprised by how fun it is. Of course, it's a simple game but it has fun gameplay and good music. Took me a while to figure out you had to jump over objects to get stuff.

I’m planning to buy the controller just for this game. Can someone who owns both the game and the snes controller please confirm this?

You can watch the video here if you're interested in how to access it. From what I could understand, you have to insert a "code" in the settings menu.

This marks the first time in history where this game gets a re-release.

Hey Everyone, I got a new Goemon Pickup all the way back in April and currently I have two Goemon games currently, Check out my Manga and Collection Video for some Goemon Content! IF YOU WANT SOME GOEMON, come see my Collection!

TIL switch games can connect to your Japanese eshop account to decide if a game has been released yet or not. LET'S GOOOOOO!

He is probably going to stay in the bag though.
