Hello all, time for some more SFC goodness just waiting for a hacker to come and sweep it off its feet.
What do you get when you mix a detective mermaid, mean robot, fat ninja with a hoopla hoop, and spikey haired guy with a stick?
Awesome fruit salad known as the
Ganbare Goemon series.
DASH DASH DASH!!!
If you haven't ever tried getting into this series then you don't know what your missing. For those who love silly Japanese humor you will love it. For those who don't, if you can look past that you will probably love it still for its fun gameplay. Although there are many entries into the series, I would specifically like to address two great entries on the SFC. Ganbare Goemon 3 and 4.
This game looks great and in the snes era, the staple gameplay we all have come to know and love, really developed on this console. This game combines fun platforming, giant robot fighter simulation, and action/adventure RPG. This was also the first game in the series to allow all four main characters as playable and they each have their own special abilities to solve puzzles and advance in the game. The evil nun mech in the first screenshot is priceless. The humor in this game is awesome and it carries into the next one.
This is hailed by most as the best one for the snes. The story actually takes place on alien planets and the gameplay segments are crazier than ever.
Just watch the video and see for yourself.

Visually and mechanically they stand out and deserve their spot in the english library. I know hackers and translators have attempted them in the past but I hope some day someone will be able to complete them. The gracious Gideon Zhi is working on number two at the moment so everyone be sure to give him moral support as well.
