» Hosting Threats?!
5-5-2007

I nearly didn't post this, because i don't really wanna cause a scene but... Some may have noticed, the Wii site & the old layout remake is missing, that is because our host sitesled deleted the server!

I'm trying to bring it back, i can't promise anything because it'll likely get deleted again. It's pretty annoying this has happened, but since they deleted that server without any form of communication, it leads me to believe that the Main site is at risk aswell!

We're getting to the stage of needing to move to a new host

Incase of the site just dissappearing, you'll know why & i'll report it on the Site Forum & Mystical Ninja Club, I'm looking for a little down time as possible, if i do find a new host i'll notify it & supply the new url; heck... i may just buy a domain.

Ganbare Goemon International!

» Yes... it was an April Fools joke :P
2-4-2007

If only that joke i pulled yesterday was true, i thought it was quite funny how i pretty much pointed out it was April fools day & then i go on to announce Goemon appearing in Smash Bros ha ha!

So if you believed it, then well... it was obbvious! :P

To make up for that mean joke, i've uploaded the mp3s from the wii site and should be putting them up on the main site soon enough. And i'm also going to be capturing the soundtrack to the DS title, so keep and eye out for it!

Oh and a little late on the news but on the Wii Virtual Console you can now download:

Legend of the Mystical Ninja/Yukihime Kyuushutsu Emaki

On the following regions:

Japan/Europe

Be sure to check vc-reviews.com, they're great for getting updates on the Virtual Console!

Update: A good source we know as Gonintendo recently posted some news about Legend of The Mystical Ninja finally being rated for the U.S, the game is expected to be available on Monday!

Good things come to those who wait!

» Game Centre CX - Goemon Programmer Interview
23-3-2007

Hey, one of the members (Rightot) from the Mystical Ninja club posted the link to this youtube video of a game show called Game Centre CX (ゲームセンタ-CX) shown on Fujitv (Japan obbviously :P)

As far as i know, the show is basicly just covering retro games. But it's still quite interesting to see Goemon Programmer & actually seeing a show about Goemon!

 

Original Youtube Link

I may be able to get it subtitled soon, so i'll get back to you on that... that reminds me, the site is in need of people who can speak good Japanese & English and wouldn't mind translating articles, videos etc.

Wanna Start the Goemon Translation Group? ^_^

Any form of help would be greatly appreciated!

» Goemon International Wii Launch!
8-2-2007

 

Yay! Snow day today! So since i've been freed from school i thought i'd try & finish off the wii site, so i did!

Most of the site has been modified to suit the wii layout, it's still early days and pages/content will likely be changing around the next few months.

So if you got a Wii, why not visit it now by either clicking the Wii banner on the splash page or by clicking here!

I haven't really been able to test everything so if you spot any errors please say somthing, one more thing i should mention is that there currently aren't any English episodes on there.... yet!

» There was a 2nd Goemon OVA?!
17-1-2007

WOW!!! All this time i had this image on disc but until now i've only relised that this video box art is infact a cover of a 2nd OVA!

Reason for me noticing was the in the background you can see 3 kids that aren't in the normal anime series & back then i never saw the series before so i wasnt aware this was different, i just recently went back onto the original page that had the film which you can see for yourselves here!

The OVA is Titled:

がんばれゴエモン 地球救出作戦

(Ganbare Goemon Terrestrial rescue maneuvers)

I imagine it's linked to the original Anime because of the style & the fact that it was made in 1998, i'm afraid i know nothing else about it. See what you can find for yourselves, if you come across any good information, screenshots etc. Then please email me!

Oh & from now on, i'm going to note down the Wii site's progress from the link you access on the splash page.

» Goemon International: Wii Version
18-12-2006

It's been a while.... and we're back to the stage of silence, so i thought i'd have a bit of fun with the new released Nintendo Wii & its features!

Coming soon will be a specifically designed wii version of this site, so you can access it on the upcoming opera browser and interact with the multimedia modified to be compatible with the Wii, for example Episodes & Videoclips will be in flv format, allowing them to be played through the browser & flash games could be made to take advantage of the Wii remote. What would be better is that if a keyboard attachment is ever made for the wii, then it should be possible to play actual java emulators! BUT... that's not definate. Of course that wont be all, but its to be decided what can added and what will work best, i thought it would be a nice idea to have a feature on recieving messages on everyone's Wii eachtime there's an update, but we'll have to see about that....

Excuse the creepy Japanese voice, thats what nearly went on the Goemon TV 20th Anniversary special!

When it gets nearer to the time of the Opera browser release date then i'll tell you more, in the mean time if you have any surgestions feel free to email me (providing it's reasonable/possible)

Oh here's my Wii code!

»PSX ISO Tutorial
23-11-2006

I quickly made this little video tutorial to show people who are struggling with the isos, that they DO indeed work. So follow this carefully if you had trouble before.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRhKfwvH050

Please DON'T ask how to burn the isos on disc, just search google about that, the roms & isos should be used for backup purposes only.

Sorry, havent got any news or updates today. However i got hold of The Goemon International Manga & should be scanning it soon!

» Still Alive!
5-11-2006

Sorry i havent updated in quite a while, i think it's been about 2 months now & to be honnest there really isn't much more to say.

Atleast, i've finally started to putup the mp3s from the snes games, but just when i was about to upload, it seems the server was having problems so i'll try later. Also which didnt help was i couldn't find the disc which had every mp3 file & shock horror i still can't find it, so i've been re-downloading the mp3s today...

Oh & for Wii fans, i read the list for the Virtual Console launch lineup & Goemon sadly isn't on there, but have faith since more virtual console games will be added monthly and maybe we might see his appearance eventually! what does leave me feeling more hopeful though is that on Wii.com, Konami is one of the listed developers for releasing downloadable games.

And... that's it.. i might actually attempt on improving the game library sympnosis' and hopefully the server should be working again soon... Well i'm off now, if i hear anything about Goemon & Wii i'll be sure to tell you, updating soon.. (hopefully)

Update: All mp3s for Yukihime Kyushutsu Emaki are now online!
