Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon or Goemon's Great Adventure?

[Anonymous No.6457228]

Starring Goemon for me. I do think Great Adventure is fun, but Starring Goemon is a very unique game in the series. Plus I like how it combines 3D zelda gameplay with a platformer.

[Anonymous No.6457968]

Starring Goemon for plot/humor/adventure sense
Great Adventure for gameplay and level design

[Anonymous No.6457978]

GGA is a fine tuned platformer and amongst the best in the series.

MNSG is just a semi jank Zelda clone (though I still love it)

[Anonymous No.6458206]

>>6457206
both

[Anonymous No.6458328]

>>6457206
Neither. The series peaked at Legend of the Mystical Ninja and only got worse after that game.

Go back to Castlevania threads.

GGA would be the GOAT if the castle levels didn't take 10 minutes.

[Anonymous No.6459289]

>>6458869
10 minutes of glory with a killer soundtrack. Thise were super rewarding to play through

[Anonymous No.6459297]

>>6458869
those levels are the best, my main gripe with GGA is not being able to play them again.

[Anonymous No.6460056]

>>6458346
You know he's right. Adding those new lame characters with their own gimmicky gameplay styles and that stupid giant robot only helped to ruin the Goemon series.

[Anonymous No.6460058]

Nice try, but go back to Castlevania threads.

Agree with this

snes goemon 2 is objectively better than lomn though.

[Anonymous No.6460639]

>>6460597
what objective reasons are those?

[Anonymous No.6462062]

>>6458328
Almost correct, but the franchise actually peaked at Goemon 2 on the original Famicom. Really wish the series had kept that belt scroller gameplay instead of turning into a generic, diamond-dozen platformer with the following installments.

[Anonymous No.6462065]

>>6458328
yup this lol

[Anonymous No.6462559]

Reminder that Ebisumaru is the most based character in the series.

[Anonymous No.6462605]

>>6460639
Substantially better level design

I dont even know what to say to someone who thinks these games can ever be described as generic.

[Anonymous No.6462675]

>>6457206
the one that isn't 2.5D
>>6462605
substantially more slowdown though

[Anonymous No.6463510]

The thing with trying to shitpost Goemon threads is that there's barely any console war you could get from it.
It Konami released any Goemon game on Genesis, these threads would be a battlefield similar to the Castlevania ones, but as it stands, only Sony got some Goemon games other than Nintendo, and they're all from decent to bad.
Anyway, my favorite is Goemon's Great Adventure, followed by Ganbare Goemon 2 on SFC and MNSG.
The first SFC game (LOTMN) would come in 4th place along with Goemon 4.
Still haven't played GG3.

Are you daft? That's literally where the series peaked.

[Anonymous No.6463530]

>>6463523
To be completely fair, I love all these games almost equally. I just had the most fun with GGA, and is the most challenging. To me it peaked there, but I also don't see anything wrong with people who would prefer LOTMN, or GG2 over it. They're all fantastic action platformers, among the best ever.

the man is clearly mentally ill and has a frozen expression on his face at all times but yeah, I'm thinking he's based.

>Zelda clone
No, the game invented the 3D Zelda formula. Zelda 64 is an MNSG clone.

[Anonymous No.6463685]

He do kinda look like dean though

Pic related is the best non-linear Goemon.

[Anonymous No.6464003]

>>6463969
Yeah that's the only one I still haven't played (more than a few minutes). On PS1 I only played the 3D one (awful, didn't finish it but I could experience it's not a good game) and the one that's mostly a rehash of the SFC gamesm which wasn't bad but it lacked anything that made it stand out.
Some day I'll play Akogingu in full, but I doubt I'll like it more than Mystical Ninja starring Goemon. Non-linear goemons rely on their plot and humor a lot, and Starring Goemon is very hard to top with that. Also not a big fan of the new characters in Akogingu, but we'll see, maybe they'll surprise me once I finally play it.

[Anonymous No.6464034]

Looks like James Dean to me. Maybe even a bit more handsome.

Why do the N64 Goemon games get attention while the PS1 games get ignored?

Are you just trying to be needlessly contrarian?

Are you delusional? They're all solid with the worst ones being mediocre. They are direct continuations of the 4 SFC games and play the same. I swear, no one's played them and opinion will suddenly change once they get translation patches.

they aren't nintendo so people can't like them after not playing them.

[Anonymous No.6465253]

>>6465030
The 3D Goemon really is trash, it was made by the same guys who did that horrible Saturn SotN port.

The sidescrollers aren't bad per se, but they aren't nearly as well designed or polished as the SNES games and GGA. I think they were outsourced to some random company too, so they have weird continuity errors like you fighting Plasma when normally he's an ally.

>Are you delusional? They're all solid with the worst ones being mediocre
I said they're all ranging from decent (decent being good, even the "New Era" Goemon, despite its jarring art direction change, is a decent game) to bad (the 3D one, Kuru Nara Koi).
>They are direct continuations of the 4 SFC games and play the same
Well, you could say all Goemon games are "direct continuations" of the SFC games, N64 ones too.
Oedo Daikaiten is the only one, besides Akogingu, that I think could be liked by Goemon fans, but it's still not really on the level of the SFC games or GGA. It's decent, but that's it. People have already played this one, as it's more straightforward and doesn't need a translation to play it, but it was never a favorite.
>opinion will suddenly change once they get translation patches.
I dunno, it's not the case with the japanese fandom, at any rate.
Goemon 3 SFC got a translation, but it didn't suddenly become the favorite, or made people stop liking the N64 ones.
Akogingu could get some new fans when the translation is done, but that game is similar to GG3, and again, that game didn't suddenly become the fan favorite because of that. And Akogingu has even less chances of that since it's an odd one, without Sasuke or Yae.
I'm not saying that noone should like non-Nintendo Goemon games, in fact, I wish the PS1 games were on the same level as the Nintendo games, hell, I wish Sega got some Goemon. But as it stands, the most high quality Goemon games were made on Nintendo systems, with PS1 getting left overs, with the best ones being Akogingu.
