Konami Krazy Kart Racing (iPhone/Android Game)

Wed, 09 May 2012 14:10:56 +0100

I just thought I'd point this out, as i've just discovered it myself...

It seems that Wai Wai Racing or otherwise known as Konami Krazy Racers actually had a sequel created in 2009 for iphone & Android phones!

This is known as Krazy Kart Racing!

It's good to see based on videos i've seen that Goemon is included and again has his own themed race track level. I must say the model of Goemon is slightly ropey but I guess they had to watch it with the graphics... I've not had time to try the game out for myself but it is still available on the app-stores, so be sure to check it out for yourself!

Also, congrats to Jeff from the U.S for winning the Yae Gashapon! Sorry for the late announcement on here to those who also entered...

Auction

My Auction Has Begun...! (NOW ENDED)

The Auction has now Ended, thankyou for your interest:

I also have a small gashapon of Yae from the Goemon Anime era, it looks like a early uncoloured version. I decided I wont be selling it. Instead i'm going to have a small competition! The update for that competition will be very soon!

My Goemon Auction... 6th April

Mon, 02 Apr 2012 01:31:53 +0100

Hello Everyone... Hope you are all well...

I'm afraid I don't have an update for the site but it's just to let you know that i'm going to be having an auction soon which will contain some Rare Goemon stuff... I've been putting off doing this for some time now...

It feels really wrong for me to be doing this... But I'm at a point where I really need to make some money (otherwise this wouldnt be happening...!) ...Oh the joys of being a student in this economic climate!

Everything you see in the photo will be available on ebay starting 6th April until 14th April, all listings ending approximately 20:30. This auction will be running for 10 days.

Just to make things clear... I'm still and ALWAYS will be a fan of Goemon and I'm keeping my most valued items such as the games. I'm parting with these things because 1.) I don't have a NTSC VCR... 2.) I can't read or understand Japanese and 3.) I feel these items would be better with someone who didn't keep these sealed away in a dark storage. I've just not had any use out of these and would love to give other fans the oportunity to own these... I'm becoming less materialistic.

I am one who does take care of things and like to keep things in the best condition possible... For example, I was always afraid to have the animation cels on display incase of sun damage... So they're wasted on me!

The VHS tapes for the Goemon OVAs are also bit hard for me to let go of, since these were so hard to obtain. But ultimately I did what I wanted to with them, which was share them online with you all and I was the FIRST to ever get these OVAs online! I know I can always watch these versions so i've never had the need to even buy an old VCR.

I will post another update when these items are available (6th April), alongside with ebay links. Don't miss out this oportunity, if you are looking for any of these... as some of these things are VERY RARE... especially outside of Japan!

If you have any questions, please let me know under comments of this update. Also if you are only interested in one or two of the mangas and would rather these individual, we can come to an agreement if before auction ends.

...This is it!

Goemon arrives to 3DS Virtual console - In Japan

Wed, 29 Feb 2012 16:35:11 +0000

Just a small update: Ganbare Goemon: Kurofune Tou No Nazo due to arrive on the 3DS virtual console in Japan next week. One could expect this game to be released in Western territories later on as it was one of the few that originally made it overseas, being released along side the N64 games.

Not dead.

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:57:19 +0000

Howdy, long time no see.

First of all, I want to apologize to you guys for lack of site content and the general dead atmosphere. I am still aware GI exists, I still love Goemon, and I'm still proud to run this site for Sonicdude.

However, the usual lame excuse surfaces again: "I'm busy IRL". Sadly, it's true. I'm currently doing a Masters course for 3D Design, and this semester I have 6 courseworks. 6. Anyone who has tried to model, render and animate large projects shall know what a weight 6 courseworks can be.

Due to this workload, getting my new content ready the site falls to the bottom of my priorities. My apologizes for this.

I also want to apologize for the site's state. I want to get the comments fixed soon, but it's a tricky job. We had a major spambot issue, and it was basically 100223 spam messages Vs 3 legitimate messages. I really can't delete 100223 messages manually, so I have to delete all messages at once, losing the good stuff. In order to prevent this happening again, I disabled the comments. They will return when I have the time to install a proper captcha system.

I have some stuff I will share with you guys eventually, it's all just a time thing. Think of it as a mini-hiatus. I'll still be about though, and am definitely am not ditching the site. Pace is just slower than normal.

Imagine the site's status to be like Goemon information today: Slow. Despite this, don't lose hope and GI will be have new content soon. I promise!

I'll leave you with this image of some awesome guys as a treat

If you want to contact me, staff page has our emails. Until next time, Adios!

P.S: Happy new year and all that stuff.

Bug fix

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 18:16:29 +0100

Just a short update to say that comments are now fixed. I noticed that they captcha system had broke, making it impossible to post. Hopefully I've fixed this now.

Post a comment and I'll find out!

Edit: And as soon as comments were back, they were gone until further notice. Spambots are to blame, I'll create a solution when I'm not bogged down with uni work, which I currently am. Sorry guys.

I'll make it up to ya somehow.

Ganbare Goemon Pachislot 2

Sat, 10 Sep 2011 00:34:29 +0100

Long time no news, readers! I apologize for the lack of updates recently. Goemon information is slow as ever, and I've been too busy discovering PC gaming. However, I've got some news and manual scans for you guys today.

First off, I'd like to show you guys the new Pachinko game, Ganbare Goemon Pachislot 2. Goemon International also now has a youtube account, so expect some of the sites videos to be popping up on there over time:

While it's not quite the game we'd like, it's nice to see that Konami still somewhat acknowledges the existence of Goemon, which is always a good thing. Seems more or less the same deal as the first Pachinko machine, though we see some old characters re-animated in 3D, which is always a bonus. Hopefully there will be a OST released of this machine too, and if there is, you'll be able to hear it here.

As for the Goemon International, I've got 2 sets of scans for you. One set for Goemon Gaiden 1 and Goemon Gaiden 2. Hope you enjoy these.

I've got some other goodies to come, but I'll leave them for future updates.

I also bring to your attention that Sarahsuke - who joined the site staff in 2009 - has decided to leave the site. It's a shame, but we wish you the best!

That's all for now guys. Leave me a comment, lets me know people still visit our site!

OVA Flash Player

Sat, 09 Apr 2011 15:43:40 +0100

I'm back with the next update i've been meaning to do. I've now given the same treatment to the OVAs with a Flashplayer/Downloader as I did in my previous update with the Anime Episodes. I feel this player is more appealing to look at also. I got to admit that sadly these aren't re-captured files from the original tapes. I attempted this but was having issues with my device as for some reason it's no longer accepting NTSC properly...

They did appear, but in Black & White. I will look into that further, later on down the line. Whilst viewing these tapes, I was gutted to realise that the 2nd OVA tape is damaged to a degree which is noticeable in the current capture, where frames would freeze and the tracking would be lost for some periods. I guess the original owner of the tape, played it too much! Hopefully another tape will surface and we can get them both captured to the best quality possible.

So you can check out the new OVA Player right now, I hope you enjoy it! When you select the video box art, It takes you to a synopsis page in Japanese & English. I wasn't able to figure out the Kanji from the 1st ova case so that's not the original discription unfortunately. The 2nd ova however is exactly whats written on the back of the box and I "attempted" to translate it for the English discription. I may change it later on, as It doesn't look completely right. It's been quite hard to work out what these were saying, due to language barrier and I was having to rely on some google translation as well as my own interpretation from watching the OVAs. If anyone is able to type up the 1st ova discription or give better translations then that'd be very appreciated!

Also, when I get back home later this week, I'll upload this CD single from Ganbare Goemon: Derodero Douchu Obake Tenkomori. It has four tracks consisting of Smile Again and Double Impact in Vocal & Karaoke versions. I'll update this news section once it's available.

I hope you enjoy the OVA Player, Its currently being Hosted with somewhere that i'd like to think will be temporary until we can find a new host, as our current has unfortunately let us down. But for the time being this should be working with no problems occuring.

And before I go, I'd just like to give my condolences to all those in Japan that had been experiencing the traumatic Earthquake and Tsunami. Our thoughts go out to you all and we hope things will be picking up for you very soon... Ganbare Nippon!!

Ganbare Goemon: Neo Momoyama Bakufu no Odori Manual

Thu, 13 Jan 2011 18:42:10 +0000

Hey all, hope you had a happy holidays and continue to have a good new year.

With this update, I provide the gift of manual scans. (Not like I gift much else!) Today we have the Japanese version of Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, aka Ganbare Goemon: Neo Momoyama Bakufu no Odori. I've actually had these for a while now, but finally got round to scanning them. Sorry for that.

Not much in the terms of news on the Goemon front, really. Here's hoping for a Goemon 3DS title in the future.

That's all for this short update really, so I leave you with this Minecraft Goemon Skin made by zargon19. Bye!
