A Ganbare Goemon/Mystical Ninja Fan's Dream Collection

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Strictly for the Goemon fans out there! You have been warned. Anyway, I appreciate the click, and would also appreciate it if you check out some of the links in the description, particularly the first handful. Thanks, and Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru Oracle Saitarou no Sainan can't come out soon enough! I hope it's good, I feel it might be.

[@RawPower867]

I just hope it comes out in the United States.

[@arunca190]

I’m happy other people appreciate Goemon. I recently downloaded translations for Ganbare Goemon 2-4 for SNES roms. Loving it!

[@megagrey]

I recently got physical copies of the second Famicom and SFC games myself.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Glad you're loving it--those are among the best titles in the series!

[@alanu4637]

Amazing collection, it’s so hard being an American Goemon fan. Also, hopefully if the new game does well it will give Konami motivation to make another official Goemon title or at least give the rights to GoodFeel to develop.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

That's probably the best case scenario at the moment--fingers crossed it goes down that way!

[@megagrey]

I will be SO PISSED if the Switch spiritual successor from GoodFeel never makes it across the Pacific. Must even THAT stay in Japan!? I'd play the ever-loving shit out of it. I'm hoping a fanmade project that comes along is 3D printing files to make Goemon action figures, since the ones that exist are so impossible to find.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I can't imagine that game staying Japan-exclusive, especially when almost everything on Switch gets an English translation (mo' money!). And I would love to see some .stl files for Goemon and crew.

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

5:20 - this pencil case brings back a lot of nostalgic feeling. I never had this, but a fellow student had a Galaxy Express 999 pencil case in this same style and I loved it. Thanks for sharing!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

A Galaxy Express one, eh? That sounds awesome. Growing up in Hawaii, a lot of stores had this style of pencil case, but never anything as cool as that...at least, I don't remember seeing any.

[@noneofyourbusiness4616]

@@ImportGamingFTW I may be older than you, which might be why it was out at the time. I was on a military base in the suburbs of Tokyo at the time (mid '80s).

[@darktetsuya]

100% agreed on them needing a new goemon game! hell I'd settle for another anniversary collection with a bunch of the existing titles, as it's not really a series I was familiar with, so what better jumping on point than a collection? keeping an eye on the spiritual successor though, for sure. also man, that series got so much merch!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Well, I appreciate you watching, it's nice to know there are a handful of people who find this stuff as interesting as myself!

[@CaptainUsopp2006]

You have such an extensive collection! Always great to see the love for the Ganbare Goemon games.

[@ScruffyLookinRGB]

Exciting times! A New Goemon Game Finally!!! looks pretty cool im glad you were the one to bring me the good news. Love the Goemon Merch You probably have a goemon T-shirt for every day of the week now?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks, man--I have enough Goemon clothing to technically last me a week, but it would be a chilly winter if I went that route. By the way, your address is still the same?

[@daehan8227]

Thanks for uploading this gnarly video. Though i wonder whats next for you. An iceberg video based on this nostalgic series? Regardless if its a collab with other GG fans?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks for watching! I think I'm too intimidated to do something about Ganbare Goemon on a really large scale, but I might do an official-unofficial series ranking video sometime. It would be fun to do a Goemon memories video or something like that with other people, if and when the series gets some kind of revival!

[@4BlueHero]

Cool collection! Goemon has had a very special place in my heart since I played Mystical Ninja and Goemons great Adventure on the N64. Goemon is so niche!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Those games are so good! Definitely among the best on the system.

[@dahnilama1417]

I had no idea a spiritual successor to goemon was being made. Thank you 😊

[@ImportGamingFTW]

You're welcome, glad you found out--I just hope it ends up being half as good as we all expect!

[@BENULTIMAN2000]

Great Video I wish Konami would release a Collection of all the Mystical Ninja/Ganbare Goemon Games like they have with all their Other Best Franchises

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks, and I'm all for a compilation--if they do Goemon, hopefully stuff like Rocket Knight Adventures, modern ports of Parodius/Gradius/Salamander/etc., and more are next!

[@ZeroWalker26]

Man realy nice pick ups. I do say Goemon rely have a dang ton of merch. But then again I would probably find allot of merch for my favorite game series if I lived in Japan. But sense I don´t I will have to be content with what ever scraps I can get here in Sweden praying some one else have the money to spend on import and then diced to sell it.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Good luck picking up some Goemon stuff--it's hard enough finding things in Japan, so I can only imagine how rare it all is in Sweden!

[@jean-francoisbergeron3595]

I LOVE the Goemon series so I'm always excited when you talk about it. Great stuff!😍

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I appreciate that!

[@kobekind]

I find that dedication to one particular franchise very cool :)

[@Krisipoke]

Awesome pickups! Before your videos, I was under the impression that pretty much no Goemon merch existed, and it became more and more obvious that I was quite far from the truth. :D Also, about the anime... I got one of my buddies to play pretty much all Goemon games (he's since finished almost all that has an English translation in an official or unofficial way), and he asked me if I wanted to watch the anime series with him. I didn't really want to, but somehow he convinced me. So we watched the first episode, and yeah... After that, we both agreed that we probably shouldn't continue. :D

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks--there are a lot of Goemon things out there, but they're a little hard to find. Happy (but not so happy) to hear about the anime, ha ha. I'll give the first episode a proper try someday...but I'm not looking forward to it.

[@kylestyle5693]

I always felt I needed to get every Goemon game for the sake of posterity. I got as far as 13 then found your channel. It’s like a great weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thank you for your wonderful work and your wonderful videos!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

You should still go for the full set...too bad the GBA remake and GBC game are so insanely priced now, hope you got those early.

[@silversobe]

Bro never assume its boring, this is good stuff.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Well, I appreciate that, it's good stuff for the people who like this kind of stuff, that's for sure.

[@Oni64]

Did you hear that there is a Goemon spiritual successor by Good-Feel coming out on the Switch called Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan!!? Its closer to the the first N64 Goemon game where its more of a 3D platformer than a 2.5D side scrolling game.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Maybe you skipped the intro and the outro, but yeaaaaaaah!

[@theaceofspades56]

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks! Yeah, I love that picture--there was another not too long ago that was pretty fantastic, but that one ended up going for over $100...in retrospect, I should have just bit the bullet!

[@alexdejarnette3141]

Always like seeing your collection. But man, poor Impact doesn't get any merch. Where's the love for the giant robot movie star?!

Impact got a pretty cool model kit put out at the Wonder Festival this year! I think it went for about $100 there, but of course, it's that x6 or x7 now.

[@fredbedlam]

Is the 'Tengai Makyou retrospective' still in the works?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Funny you ask--long story, but the first part should be out in the Fall.

[@coyotelongshot]

Always awesome to see updates to your Goemon collection, they really did release enough merch during the series' run to fill an entire room 😁 Can't wait for Mameda no Bakeru, if anyone could do a Goemon successor justice it would be Ebisu and Good-Feel!

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks! And keep on Goemon'ing on your channel!

[@blindcrow849]

Great to see that you got more stuffs for your already oustanding collection. What do you think of this new "goemon like" game announced?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Thanks--and as for the Goodfeel game, I'm cautiously optimistic as usual, but it looks pretty good from the trailer. The graphics are a bit simple, but there is some nice looking art direction, and it looks like it would be pretty fun. I'm glad they're including robot battles, but I wish it was first-person (might still be). And of course, I wish it was a Goemon game, but I'll take it!

[@80sNinjas]

Wow that’s crazy you collect all of Goemon! I collect everything Ninja! I have all the Shinobi titles, Ninja Gaiden, and Tenchu titles, I’m on my way to collect the Goemon series. I never knew Goemon was released on the Famicom. I remember Goemon the first time I ever played it was on the N64 Mystical Ninja starring Goemon. That game brings back childhood memories

Thanks for watching--I actually showed those figures in the intro B-roll, but I was lucky enough to buy the three figures when they were first produced (2019?). And at that time they were something like $100 each--crazy how expensive they are!

[@Bloodreign1]

Your pipe lacks a chain, Goemon would not be impressed. ;-) Nice new Goemon merch though, that I dare say, this is nice as Sasuke would quote (well the middle part of that sentence anyway, he says "I dare say" a lot). The moment you opened that poster, I recognized the guy, my favorite of the PS1 Goemon trilogy. The game where the inside joke was recycling......literally. Still have yet to find one on Ebay for a fair price, the search continues though, for now a burned CD will have to do (my PS2 is fliptop modded, and a Gameshark CD with it's own memory card allows me to play the burned backups). Haven't gotten to Puchi Carat PS1 JP version territory yet though, that took over a dozen years of waiting patiently for a US seller to have one for a fair price, or even a copy at all that wasn't a PAL version. And now for something non-Goemon, but random Konami thing, Shuzilow Ha recently followed myself, and some other Twinbee fans, from a Twinbee Discord, on Twitter. Also followed by a former Zuntata member, Karu.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Regarding the follows, that awesome. I've always wanted to reach out to certain creators of my favorite games, but I'm too timid, I guess. I would love to turn IGFTW into one big interview channel.

[@Bloodreign1]

@@ImportGamingFTW You literally are the perfect person to interview Goemon staff. As for the follows thing, it happened likely for Karu as I often conpliment her on her piano playing videos she posts to Twitter, she is awesome on the ivory. Complimenting Shuzilow as well on the art he draws and shows on Twitter likely got the follow.

[@Crayolapup]

Have you seen Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan!! Its a Goemon Spiritual Successor on the Nintendo Switch.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

Great gam-berry kid ying collection. im amazed at how much was made for the franchise and am wishing some of the earlier games gets the rerelease switch treatment like with live a live. On another note to continue my gal gun banter, inti creates created another Gal Gun entry, Gal Guardian, which was Castlevania SotN inspired. So i'd like to see you stream that with your opinion someday 😁

[@ImportGamingFTW]

You know I love my Ganberry Gooeymans. Also, I'm sorry to inform you but I actually already streamed Grim/Gal Guardians several months ago during my last stream (even had one of the characters in the thumb). I...think it's OK, but I want to do a video on it eventually for a new series on the channel that I'm planning. Gal Gun will be talked about if/when that happens, ha ha.

[@MarcoFD]

im honestly hoping they will also release more soundtracks on vinyl like they did for the snes goemon game. idd also like konami to finally release a legacy collection like they have done for so many of their series already on modern consoles. the goemon pluche with magnetic hands i also picked up as soon as i saw it.

Amazing Goemon collection Jim . Ive been meaning to pick a Goemon game on the super famicom . Which is the system i collect games for the most. What is the best one that you would recommend to someone who is new to the series ?

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I think I'd say 2 for SFC is the perfect starter and representation of Ganbare Goemon on Super Famicom. My personal favorite is the first SFC/SNES game. Since you love the Mana series and RPGs, you might like 3, which is the most similar to something like Seiken Densetsu or Legend of Zelda. Let me know what you pick up!

Thanks for noticing, I picked up a much better camera earlier this year, but haven't used it much--well, for video projects, anyway.

[@apollosungod2819]

With Sega's Japanese Ryu Goto ku series aka Yakuza or Like a Dragon series getting a proper Japanese dialogue and English subtitle and possibly other languages.. you would think that Ganbare Goemon would possibly get the same treatment but it probably will not because of it's cartoonish art and how most Americans still stigmatize such art styles as being for kids or something really weird in the case where the cultural differences cannot make it for North America as a T for Teen or even E for Everybody game.

[@ImportGamingFTW]

I think it's just a matter of execs not having faith in such a collection/revival's money-making potential. I know I'd buy a copy...probably two.

[@Big_Dai]
