Project Goemonさんのイラストまとめ

After Shinsedai’s disappointing sales, maybe Konami was hoping that the game would gain a bigger audience on the booming GBA, but it seems New Age did even worse. Only very few original Konami IP could compete with their licensed games on the platform.

New Age Shutsudo! (The New Age Moves Out!) is a remixed title of Shinsedai Shumei (The Next Generation Takes Over!), which is a good summary: a (rare) portable port of a PSX game, with the necessary changes necessary to fit the game into a GBA cartridge.

The Goemon anime follows the same beats with the needed variations, but the difference is that Hattori-kun is at heart a comedy series with a focus on the everyday (more or less), in contrast to Goemon’s elaborate setting with an evil villain threatening Japan and the earth.

Ninja Hattori-kun was a manga series created by Fujiko A. Fujio (Doraemon) serialized between 1964 and 1988, and later adapted to a TV drama and anime series in the 1980s—although its popularity warranted a movie adaptation in 2004 and a new anime series in 2012.

Tengu-to is difficult to write about because game-wise and history-wise, it’s so slight. It was the 3rd Goemon game in the 1998-1999 wave, released after Dero Dero Dochu (Goemon’s Great Adventure) for the N64 and Kuru Nara Koi! for the PlayStation.

Gaiden was a passion project for Aoyama, as he had always hoped to make a Dragon Quest-style RPG ever since he, Hashimoto, and Umezaki, bought the game and played it during the production of the first Ganbare Goemon game.

Kazuhiro Aoyama, one of the 3 key members on the original, was given the task to make a new Goemon game. His team set themselves the challenge of developing something new for the sequel, and decided two-player simultaneous play would be the key feature.

Gaiden 1 didn’t need a sequel, but maybe Konami wanted a game to keep up the momentum built up by SFC Yuki-Hime (Mystical Ninja). Gaiden 2, written/directed by Gaiden 1 scenarist Keita Kawaminami, used the same assets to deliver a more polished experience.

For the PlayStation game, the task was given to KCEN, a new Konami development studio in Nagoya, which was making an disappointing run of disappointing games with Saturn ports and mediocre-to-terrible Game Boy games, inc. the oft-derided Kurofune-to no Nazo.

Kira Kira is an explosion of Goemon stuff and concepts, and everything seems to be on the verge of getting out of control. (Which included development, apparently.) It’s a high point of the characteristic Goemon chaos with really polished artwork.
