Thought 2023 couldn't possibly get any better? Behold the spiritual successor to Ganbare Goemon :

Otogikatsugeki Mame Tanuki no Bakkel - Oracle Matsuri Taro's Festival!!

Looking great though not as charming as Goemon. Either way, day 1

 

[Mr Hyde]

Looks pretty fucking great. Are the original creators of Goemon behind this, like Suikoden devs are behind Eiyuden Chronicles?

 

[Jack Videogames]

Will this see the light in the west?

What's the connection with Ganbare Goemon? Are any of the developers from that series involved?

I believe so. “In addition, Good Feel is a company where the development staff who worked on the "Ganbare Goemon" series gathered” - 4gamer

 

[Mr Hyde]

I believe so. Apologies I can’t find a link.

No worries mate. I guess more info will come at a later stage. That name in the OP was a mouthful though, can't even pronounce it, so crossed fingers for a western release with a physical copy attached. Anyway, Switch continues to be the best retro/indie machine.

 

[Party McHardy]

Continues to impress. Also a western release has been confirmed for next year.

Game is out Friday in Japan. Western release has been confirmed but no date yet. Given that this is basically a platformer I don't think importing will be a terrible experience.

Been looking forward to this one for months, hopefully amazon japan don’t screw up it’ll arrive at my post box in Tokyo on release day then a few days to get it to the uk.

Ended up giving in & grabbing it digitally as i couldn't wait for my physical to turn up. Only played the first 4 stages but holy shit is it good the level of polish on this thing is amazing it really does feel like Goemon the areas are so fun to explore & play in there's Japanese culture packed in all over the place.
