I can think of no reason for this to not be on Virtual Console. The SNES game is on there, after all. So what's the deal? This is my favorite N64 game right up there sharing the top spot with Banjo-Kazooie and Super Mario 64. ^_^ I even had an AOL Mailing List for this game back yeaaaaaars ago... anyone old enough to remember those?!?
This takes me back...so many awesome memories when the N64 was all the rage, this game was one of my favourites of all time...they don't make games like this anymore!
I expected this place to a bit more difficult than it was, but oh well, this music and the cutscene before the final boss made up for it XD ! Not all three tracks, the only I like is the third one. Badass as hell!
Every time I bring this game to my friend's house I don't think to bring the controller pak, so I just try to get as far in the game in one sitting as I can, so I got to Zazen Town and got the idea of just leaving to Nintendo 64 on, so when I came back to it, the system overheated and my friend got all pissed off. :P
Thankfully all we had to do was wait for it to cool off.
I still have the game on my still working N64, I sometimes play it and I like to listen the soundtrack N 40, wich comes to be the musical castke 3 music, it's one of my favorites music ever
My favorite part of any song in any game is actually right in this song. Where it starts at 3:31 and then the guitar kicks in and you see all the legs with no bodies dancing around in front of you to the beat. Completely epic gaming moment :D
Lol, I use to say that exact same thing when I was younger (even did the X running animation). I use to get Yae and Sasuke and run through this part just cause they looked so cool doing it.
Oh yeah,I love this part after 3:30 ("Goe Goe Spark").
It's somewhat strange that I didn't ntocied it.
But,to be honest,I think the games is really inferior to many other games-but it's still a good one!Especially the music!While there are some bad ones (which OST haven't one?),there are some tracks that are excellent!
in my opinion this is the best game ive ever played and i played all zelda's donkey kong, mario, or whatever ive played like almost every nintendo's hot franchise's and this game is like the best of tha best!
Yeah,I could believe it.The atmosphere and the music (I think it's the best of the N64 generation) created there is just awsome.But opinions differ from person to person,and I still prefer other games in this era.I still highly appreciate your and others opinion.(-;
By "inferior to many other games" I never mean "it sucks",just "it's great,but not as good as other games",which is a huge difference.
damn i wish theyd put this game on xbla or virtual console already!!! and then make another one. I still regret never playing Goemon's Great Adventure.
This games music is Boss you know why i love it...because the people who wrote the music dont give a damn. I mean their is elements from every wear rock, techno hell even rap and hiphop beats. but what I love the most ine the background of ALL these songs the music writers never stray away from the Asian heritage ogf the songs and I dont care what no one says thats fucking beautiful and the music writers deserve mad props.
My point exactly. There is no good original music in Harry Potter. The briefest of analyses reveals it to be a mediocre imitation of everything else he's ever done.
I'm afraid I must disagree with you...true, it's not as memorable as some of his other stuff, but I still believe that the soundtracks to the Harry Potter movies are still well above average.
They DID make a sequel, for the N64, it was even released in america i believe, however all other sequels after that never made it to american shores.
The sequel wasn't really a true sequel to this game though. Instead of it being action adventure like it should have been they reverted back to sidescroller. It was still a decent VERY DIFFICULT game but I had a better experience with this game.
there already have been sequels to mystical ninja, but they were for PS2 and japan only, sad tough, i remember all the time i played on this game cuz the music kicked ass
@Xarai They made one for PS2, but it strayed from the original look of the characters: a fact I was quite disappointed with. None of the variations on the original characters are anywhere near as good.
Alright, well I sent a letter to Konami JP about more Goemon in the west and what do I get? A letter saying "We don't have info about Goemon at this time".
I can't wait for a VC release of this. And you know they'll do it too, because they've already released Legend of the Mystical Ninja on VC for SNES... they upload all sequels to games they add it seems. There's no reason this won't happen eventually. ^___^
This song was awesome and still is. Your gonna make me start to shed tears man. Thought I was one of the few who enjoyed this game. Great stuff! Thanks man!!!
Oh yeah... I thought I was alone too. Guess what! This game made into a lot of hearts! That's what you get when you make a great game with so many masterpieces.
It's masterpiece after masterpiece. Even in the sound played in the last part of the castle before the robot, where you see an absolute change in instrumental choices, it still manages to amaze with a powerful composition.
Totally. I remember someone said that the Dragon should be a stage and you rode on it. It then dropped you off to Edo Town, Mt Mutsu and Ido Hot Dog Springs. How awesome would that be? But alas, Konami won't release anymore to the West...maybe when it comes out on VC, people will download it, love it and Konami will revive it.
