[Dark Age Iron Savior]

The Impact battles are definitely an acquired taste, and truthfully aren't very elegant. I think I enjoyed the dam fight in GG3, though, and I missed the Impact sequences in GG4 (the end-world minigames just don't cut it, frankly).

I really do hope there are eventually translations for 3 & 4 within my lifetime, though. Three isn't quite as awesome as it should be, but it's still pretty neat, and four is an absolute blast.

Man, you cats gotta read the Hardcore Gaming 101 feature on Goemon. Kurt won't always give you an opinion you can agree with wholeheartedly, but he generally describes games well enough for you to decide whether they are worth checking out or not.

Also, everyone, by the end of FKW, I want you to have played at least one world of Ganbare Goemon 4. There are only two or three parts where you have to reference a FAQ (the towns on Goemon's and Yae's world, I believe).

Just remember: don't use savestates!
