Mystical Ninja Goemon [Playstation 2 - PS2 - BETA DEMO V3]

Bouken Jidai Katsugeki: Goemon
Also known as: Advance Goemon

Action platformer, starring Konami's Japanese hero. Goemon himself generally eschews technology, relying on legwork and his handy pipe to fight through a situation. He's a simple fellow, the adopted son of a carpenter outside the capital city of Edo. Adventure comes upon him suddenly, though, on a dark and stormy night, when a giant monster armed with a massive sword breaks through the door of a castle and steals the power locked within a magic stone. Along with his friends, Goemon sets out to once again save the world. To dispatch the evil spirits that stand in his way, Goemon has a wide variety of attacks, a wall jump and double jump, close to 150 different special weapons and items to collect, and special abilities he can learn from crests that store spirit power. Some crests simply restore Goemon's health, whereas others grant him powerful magical attacks.

Publisher Working Designs attempted for years to bring Goemon to America, with significantly improved visual performance, but the project became tied up in technical and other difficulties, and was eventually cancelled by the defunct publisher. It had already been released in Japan in 2000.

Wow... I come here two years later and my comment is still the most recent. After trying it I realized the game actually kinda sucked - don't be surprised for lack of an international release. I guess if you're a fan of the series it doesn't hurt to at least play it.

In all fairness when you look at it, it's understandable as the graphics DO look ABYSMAL - though I am a huge Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon fan so if this is anywhere near as good as it's N64 predocessor - I'm definately sold! ^__^

I did hear on a review it's a good game, though if you don't ever get to play it, you're not missing out. I ordered it a few minutes ago so I'll sure enough eventually find out ^___^

Translating the PSP...? That makes no sense. They were sued by Sony for selling Japanese PSPs outside of Japan to Europe, despite Lik-Sang offering free AC adaptors for European outlets.

The game was ultimately canceled for US release thanks to Sony not wanting it to be released due to its graphics.

actually sony sued lik-sang for translating the psp so forget about it >_<

Order it from eBay or PlayAsia. Also, there's a bunch of code experts who do this: you give them the game, pay them some money and they will expertly translate every single Japanese word in the game into English ! In know this is true, I met one of those guys.
