Lastly I checked out Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and wow, why have I never played this?! This is great!
I'm saving my game now and I will have to play this more. I still haven't even overclocked the Analogue 3D so I'll have to play with that later!
What other games should I try?

Due to a stressful week, I missed this anniversary. Looking at my timeline, I don’t think anyone really has fond memories of the game, which is not unexpected.
Still, there is something here that hints at an intriguing unexplored path for Goemon. Maybe an interesting rogue-lite/dungeon crawler.

December 4 is probably one of the darkest episodes in the Ganbare Goemon franchise. Ganbare Goemon~Kurofune-tō no Nazo~was released on December 4, 1997. It was released 4 months later worldwide, in April 1998, as Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

For a long time, I’ve had the description “On Hiatus” on my profile. I’ve wanted to be more active with my research, but the harsh reality of researching game history while also working one or two more jobs made it untenable to continue writing long essays about the Goemon series.

Happy 2nd Anniversary to Bakeru! 🎉🎉🎉
While I imagine that Good-Feel is disappointed with how everything turned out, it’s heart-warming to see just how much they have supported the tanuki. Bakeru has become their de-facto mascot and has spurred the company to try a lot of things, like merchandising.

Goemon is back, and he has to go to the future to save the Old Man, who invented a time machine to help him pick up women and instead ended up kidnapped by a French nun who forced him to build a robot army so she could conquer the past. Anyway this one is an action-adventure game.
Re-release this: Ganbare Goemon 3: Shishi Jūrokubē's Mechanical Manji Hold
The third Mystical Ninja game on the Super Famicom goes in a different direction. Again.

🏮 Ganbare Goemon 2 🏮
(KONAMI, 1989)
Huge overall improvement over the 1st, graphics and sound are incredible.
I love how there's a Konami Shop where you can buy sets that change some enemy sprites into other Konami characters.
This is peak #Konami, no doubt.

por sinal, quando eu falo Goemon 3 eu não tô exagerando.
Se trocar os sprites não dá pra ver a diferença direito, só parece que ele viajou pro Texas com gráficos um pouco mais avançados kkkkkk
