MYSTICAL ninjas that is. I finished both N64 games in a day and half!

Also did the series die or something as far as i can remember the last game was the second N64 one and it came out in '99 :(

Unfortunately, I wouldn't exactly say there are hella Goemons being made - the series has quieted down after the veritable explosion of games that happened around 2000-2001, as only two games have been produced since then (the DS Goemon and an port of the first two SNES games to GBA). I don't doubt the game series will rear it's head up again, but it may be another year or two, and the series will continue to fade into obscurity in the US in the meanwhile.

Sorry to be so depressing!

anyway RR, if you want to find out what games got made after the N64 ones, check out this Hardcore Gaming 101 article

Also, I highly suggest you read The Orange Treehouse of Konami II to find out exactly what we're missing out on with Goemon DS.

And listen to the four Impact Battle themes from the second PSX installment.

And go play the SNES games. Or at least the first, second and fourth.

seriously go play them right now >:((((((((

Yeah, the DS Goemon looks really great. It's one of those games that makes me feel very bad about not being able to read Japanese, even if Chaz suggested that I don't really need to be able to read the text to enjoy the game.

These days, I think that they've been doing some really awful, abhorrent things with poor Goemon. Just check out Ganbare Goemon: Shin Sedai Shuumei or Goemon: New Age Shutsudou! Criminally poor taste!

The HG101 article doesn't seem to have anything on it about PS2 Goemon tho. Damn shame. Or not. YouTube reveals all--even that which might be better left hidden.

I saw the PS2 trailer. It made me sad. All I want is another awesome co-op platformer like GGA :(

And yeah that DS game looks awesome.

Also if anybody has english roms of the goemon SNES games after the first I'd like a PM.
