The Nintendo 64 has been the main console for modern recompilation projects to PC, and with the recent release of the N64Recomp tool just a couple of months ago, more recompilation projects would start showing up with due time, and today another game joins the ranks for proper PC ports.

"Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon" was just the 2nd entry of the Goemon series released in North America back in 1998, however, the franchise had been going strong in Japan for far longer, and this title helped to further cement the presence of the Goemon series in the west.

Today, this classic title for the N64 joins the growing list of recompilation titles that get a proper PC port, with 60fps and widescreen support in this initial state. The recompilation was developed by user "Klorfmorf" from the Ganbare Goemon Discord Server, where the recompilation project was released based on the N64Recomp that was unveiled back on May of this year, with a very similar interface to that of the Majora's Mask recompilation that got released almost alongside the N64Recomp tool.

​

The recompilation for "Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon" only supports the Japanese release/ROM of the game so far, and the recompilation project requires the user to provide its own copy/dump of the Japanese ROM in order to run, so those interested can download the recompilation files and bring their own Japanese ROM of the game to play and test out this new PC port thanks to the recompilation tools.

I can't believe this. I love this game...and I just finished it! Yes, after only 9546 days (I still had the original receipt, I bought it the weekend it launched, April 19, 1998).

What can I say, I'm psyched for this!

Actually, I can say one more thing: PLASMA!

They’re not made public yet. But it’s some interesting titles

still waiting for Rocket Robot on Wheels which they showed a couple months ago, I want to play Sucker Punch's first game at 4K 120fps and get a better idea of how they went on to make Sly Cooper

Can't wait for the Wii U and PSVita port.

Here's hoping Goemon's Great Adventure gets the same treatment.
It was localized to English but butchered with tons of cut content, including a new version of the Impact Theme

 

[Something whatever]

God I hope Jet Force Gemini is next. I would love to use modernized controls on that

Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2 would be sick too

There's something really funny to me about the fact that N64 emulation has been so finicky and unstable that recompiling them is becoming an easier task than emulating them

I loved this game on the N64, and I was just thinking about replaying it recently. It's like a 3D Zelda, but based off "A Link to the Past" since OoT hadn't released yet. The soundtrack is great too.

Hopefully someone makes an English patch though...

That theme song is Legendary, proably the best song on the n64 beating even DK64 Rap

I'm a huge fan of the Impact theme myself. I rented this game a couple times, and had to leave it on overnight in order to not lose progress, because we didn't have a memory card that was required for the game to save.

Looks like the English version if progressing well

 

[NoobletCheese]

Now this I can get into

 

[nerdalert]
