Goemon (series)/Trivia


 * Fan Translation: For Ganbare Goemon 2, the original game, and Kiteretsu Shougun Magginesu (in progress). Some non-patch translations exist for Ganbare Goemon 3/4 and Seikuushi Dynamites Arawaru, but only cover major scenes.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!:
 * Goemon is voiced by Daiki Nakamura (1st OVA), Yasunori Matsumoto (Current), and Vic Mignogna (Dub).
 * Ebisumaru is voiced by Kenichi Ogata (Current) and Chris Patton (Dub).
 * Yae is voiced by Aya Hisakawa (TV Anime) and Jessica Boone (Dub).
 * Sasuke is voiced by Chika Sakamoto (Current) and Greg Ayres (Dub).
 * Goemon Impact is voiced by Yasunori Matsumoto (Current).
 * Omitsu is voiced by Miki Ito (1st OVA), Sakura Tange (TV Anime/Kuru Nara Koi), Sanae Kobayashi (Toukai Douchuu), and Kira Vincent-Davis (Dub).
 * Kurobei is voiced by Mina Tominaga (Current).
 * The Feudal Lord is voiced by Chafurin (Current).
 * Princess Yuki is voiced by Rie Kugimiya (Pachislot).
 * Kabuki is voiced by Wataru Takagi (Mononoke Sugoroku).
 * Plasma is voiced by Kenichi Ogata (Current).
 * Thaisamba is voiced by Kenichi Ogata (Mononoke Sugoroku).
 * No Export for You: The ONLY reason why Konami bothered to release this game in the U.S. is possibly because they needed a game (along Gradius) for the American release of the SNES and nothing else.
 * Sequel First: The first Ganbare Goemon game released outside Japan was Legend of the Mystical Ninja for the SNES (the series had previous installments for the Famicom), in which for no reason Goemon and Ebisumaru were renamed "Kid Ying" and "Dr. Yang". The two Nintendo 64 games that were later localized kept the characters' original names.
 * The renaming is especially surprising, since no other names were changed, and there was no attempt at Westernizing any Japanese elements like tends to happen with localizations back in the day.
