Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (1997)
Genres:Adventure, Platform
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Historical, Comedy
Game modes:Single player
Story:The story follows Goemon's struggles to prevent the Peach Mountain Shoguns gang from turning Japan into a Westernized fine arts theater. The plot calls for three cinematic musical features and battles between giant robots; like other Ganbare Goemon games, it is peppered with surrealist humor and anachronisms.
The protagonist of Mystical Ninja is Goemon, a hot-blooded, kiseru-wielding ninja with blue, bushy hair based loosely on the legendary thief Ishikawa Goemon. The lord of Oedo asks him to find those who maimed Oedo Castle. Goemon lives in Oedo Town and is friends with Ebisumaru, a strange, gluttonous fat man who wears a blue bandana. Ebisumaru is defined as lazy and perverted. Their kunai-throwing friend Sasuke is a mechanical ninja (made by the Wise Man of Iga) who enjoys hot baths and Japanese tea. Rounding out the heroes is Yae, a fierce sword-wielding kunoichi, who happens upon Goemon's band in Zazen Town. The villains of the game hail from the organization Peach Mountain Shoguns and include a gang of four "weirdos" led by Spring Breeze Dancin' (Danshin Harukaze) and Kitty Lily (Margaret Ranko). They intend to transform Japan into a stage for their talents.Show more

This game has been a favorite of mine since the day I first played it when I was a kid. It's an N64 title that is often overlooked when compared to its high profile competition, but thankfully it left an impression on many people who still remember it. It is an early 3D title and accomplished the format quite well, all things considered; it doesn't have quite the same masterful design as Zelda, or Mario, but it has a certain panache that makes it very endearing, and highly playable. It's also unabashedly Japanese, funny, and has a stellar soundtrack.
This game deserves to be on GOG because it's not available anywhere else. Even in its native home of Japan, Ganbare Goemon is not exactly relevant anymore. The N64 emulation is shoddy which makes it not ideal, and Nintendo never made a newer port of it. This game is way too good to be left in obscurity, and it could really use a once-over for controller support and OS compatibility. GOG is the perfect home for it.
Definitely one of my personal favorites from the Nintendo 64. It is considered a hidden Gem and well worth playing. Wish Nintendo made this available for the Switch but would be nice to see it be available this way. The only negatives I can think of the game is the controls are not great and could be improved, the camera needs to be better, and the game is pretty short and could be longer and maybe more open world and maybe add lore or trivia about Japan. Deserves to become wildly available.
When I was a child my mom bought me this game randomly one day and I fell in absolute love with it. Of course I was young and couldn't afford to buy a memory card, mom and dad didn't understand. So I plowed through the beginning hours of this game so many times I could run through them blindfolded.
Eventually I settled on leaving the console on to finally beat the full game, thankfully it wasn't too terribly long. I loved this game one of the few I got in those days, I still own some of my N64 games but not this one, a home invaider stole it and many others from me sadly.

Nights Into Dreams...The story follows the teenagers Elliot Edwards and Claris Sinclair, who enter Nightopia, a dream world where all dreams take place. With the help of Nights, an exiled "Nightmaren", they begin a journey to stop the evil ruler Wizeman from destroying Nightopia and consequently the real world. Players control Nights flying through Elliot and Claris's dreams to gather enough energy to defeat Wizeman and save Nightopia. The game is presented in 3D and imposes time limits on every level, in which the player must accumulate points to proceed.Action
Nights: Journey of DreamsThis time around, however, Nights takes a bit of a different turn. Keeping in line with the "world of dreams" theme – it wouldn't be Nights without it – players will take control of Will and Helen, two young children each entering into Nightopia (the world of dreams) with their own back-story, emotional baggage, and inner demons that come to life though the forming of nightmares. It's a pretty simple concept overall, and with each child's five main levels you'll get a different piece of the story leading up to the same grand finale. Once they arrive in the land of dreams, each character meets up with a Nights almost instantaneously, and from there learns to meld with the mysterious creature and fly through the world of Nightopia. Along the way you'll learn of the quest to find the hidden Ideya (basically essences of the human spirit), and eventually attempt to defeat a powerful god-like creature named Wizeman and his right-hand man Reala.Action
