Ganbare Goemon 3: Shishijyuurokubei no Karakuri Manji Katame
Third title in the Ganbare Goemon series of platform/adventure games which
cast you as the heroic Goemon as he attempts to save feudal Japan from all
sorts of wacky evildoers. This time around, a time-travelling machine
threatens all of Japan and thus Goemon and co. must jump into the future to
stop the machine.
The game alternates between a top-down world map view in which your characters
explore the gameworld and side-scrolling stages in which the main action lies.
As in most games of the series there are also loads of mini-games and unique
gameplay sequences such as maneuvering Goemon’s giant mecha.
The game continues the tradition of bizarre humor unique to the series, you
can play as either Goemon or any of his 3 companions, Ebisumaru, Sasuke or Yae
with each sporting unique weapons and abilities and also with their own
dialogue options and cutscenes, which feature sitcom-like pre-recorded laughs
for added wackiness.
