The Legend of the Mystical Ninja features two characters named Goemon and Ebisimaru (I’m using their up-to-date translations). Goemon is a badass with spiky blue hair that wields a pipe.

The long-running series is known in the West as Legend of the Mystical Ninja. The Nintendo DS version of Ganbare Goemon will feature graphics styled like Japanese brush paintings.

I don’t love Bakeru like I love Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, and that’s okay. This is very much a vibes game, and Good-Feel in 2024 isn’t Konami in 1998.
