I bought/made a photocard holder to my school bag and I made these for show my konami fandoms :P, some of them have 2 sides (like The omitsu one and The impact), But the rest have one side 😭 so I have to keep an eye on them when The holder turns to the other side 💔 ((The last photo is the holder itself)
Humanoid cats are very recurring characters in Ganbare Goemon games.
in Ganbare Goemon Gaiden, Goemon and Ebisumaru reached Okaka, a cat village. All of the people who lived there were cats who can speak. The Mayor, whose name is Ponpoko drugged Goemon and Ebisumaru with a tea and jailed them. However, they escaped and helped another cat called Koban to scape. Koban had discovered that Mayor Ponpokon was a fraud and was jailed.
in SNES/Famicom Ganbare Goemon 1, a ninja cat called Kurobei appeared after you defeat the ghost lady. It looks like the ghost lady and the cat are the same living being but, according with Spanish fan-translation of the game, Kurobei was trapped into ghost lady. In the same title, Koban appears again as the boss of a group of ninja cats.
in Snes Ganbare Goemon 3, Kurobei and the ghost lady seems to be the same living being, and is transformed in the ghost form to avoid people to be near the Hagure-to-Iga teleport. Moreover, in the future there is another cat, called Nekokichi.
It looks like I know the majority of cat race details in the franchise, but I have 2 doubts:
are ghost lady and Kurobei the same living being or was Kurobei trapped into the ghost? I have tried to read the original text in Japanese of the yukihime title, but is hard for me since even I am studying Japanese, my level is still low.
Geograohically, where's Okaka?
Thank you!!
I posted my tier list a couple of years ago, but I updated it after replaying a bunch of games that I didn't play in a while (thanks to the Daishuugou collection).
And also I finally played Gaiden for the first time, which I didn't love, but I'm not a big RPG fan. It's too slow, and the dungeons are way too big for nothing, it's a good thing that they added a Speed Up button in the collection.
I used to not love Karakuri Douchuu on Famicom, I found it cryptic and repetitive, but I enjoyed it a lot more this time. It's fast paced and I enjoy the "slightly more serious" style of the pre-Magginesu games. But I don't want to revisit Karakuri Douchuu on MSX2, with its ultra slow default speed, towns that are even more confusing, and its very high number of stages.
