As a child, one of my most cherished video games was Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the Nintendo 64. Looking back, this choice may have played a significant role in shaping me. It was an unusual game, blending traditional Japanese aesthetics, exaggerated anime elements, and catchy pop tunes into a unique experience. The gameplay was somewhat cumbersome and challenging, but I was so captivated by its eccentric atmosphere that I persevered until the end. Since then, few games have shared this distinctive flavor, mainly because Konami abandoned the Ganbare Goemon-slash-Mystical Ninja series some time ago, ceasing localization efforts even before that. Occasionally, Konami has resurfaced Goemon for appearances in Bomberman and Smash Bros., or on Nintendo’s Virtual Console, but that’s about the extent of it.

Given that it’s still in its developmental phase, the development team has mentioned that there will be a significant amount of placeholder art and experimental gameplay, which may evolve once the final version is released.
