REVIEW | Mameda no Bakeru is a 3D action platformer for Nintendo Switch, a so-called "Ganbare Goemon spiritual successor," the latest from developer Good-Feel. It's been nearly 20 years since Ganbare Goemon fans had a new game in Konami's legendary series...so how does this 2023 title, Mameda no Bakeru, stack up as a surrogate to the underrated and sorely missed Goemon series? Well, I completed the game to 100% and give my impressions in the following review, so check it out.
This is a full, minimal story spoiler review the game, full title "Otogi Katsugeki Mameda no Bakeru: Oracle Saitarou no Sainan/御伽活劇豆狸のバケル～オラクル祭太郎の祭難."
GoodFeel was founded by Etsunobu Ebisu, who directed many classic Ganbare Goemon titles, and its staff consists of many people who made those games happen. Myself and other fans have been saying for years that they would be the best developer to revive Goemon for Konami, so it's great to see them put out a game like this for the Nintendo Switch.
Enjoy this mostly spoiler-free review, but more importantly, I hope you enjoy the game...fingers crossed that it gets an English localization and international release soon!

I'm on stage 36/50ish. Just wanted to say you don't need to know a lick of Japanese to play this game. The platforming and action combat is fun enough on its own and the game is very straightforward. I'm really having a blast with it. The game is absolutely full of charm and the locations have a ton of variety. Going through the levels and finding all the collectables is really fun and addictive. I highly recommend it as a Goemon fan and 3D platformer fan.

@sboinkthelegday3892 7 месяцев назад

That's so reductive when this is absolutely a case where they could. It's so well encapsulated in it's general style, that you can't HONESTLY pretend that a green haired ninja girl and a fat thief carry the franchise. It's the complete artstyle what makes Ganbare Goemon of all franchises what it is. Repeating talking points that have lost all meaning because EVERYTHING has a fandom regurgitating them, is not respecting the franchise for what it is. It's just respecting merchandising as a concept, like the Yoda guy in Spaceballs. Take Doctor Who. The Doctor can be replaced and he's certainly more famous than Goemon. Plus an original IP and not a known folk hero like Goemon. But I'm not talking in particular about one character, it's that it is a series that's more built on theatrical tradition and impermanence as a whole, grander ideas. Some people were melting down some years backa bout NotMYPresident, but other sorts would say He Was MY Doctor. They are able to make that persoanl stand, over being drip-fed more content. Some franchises can do that, some fandoms can't.

@sboinkthelegday3892 7 месяцев назад

For my money, I've played like 5 acrobatic platformers in the style of Mario 64. Mario can be replaced with Hat Kid all day long if this is the release rate, and collectathons just don't do quite the same thing, they make platforming about canned abilities you have to unlock.

@URFTBOUND4LIFE 7 месяцев назад

@@JoeMusashi1987 That's not what Nintendo fans are. You're thinking of the Wii era where millions bought it for Wii Sports and nothing else. Nintendo fans are the ones who bought the Wii U and kept it afloat in spite of it's short comings. Nintendo fans are the ones who backed games like Fire Emblem and Kirby before it went mainstream. Metroid and Donkey Kong got new life because of Nintendo fans and those games are hardly causal friendly games. Nintendo fans are the ones who rallied up demand for Xenoblade Chronicles to not be a Japanese/European exclusive. It's also worth noting that 3D platformer perform better on Nintendo hardware compared to Sony and Microsoft platforms due to the nature of them focusing on multiplayer games and story driven games that appeals to older gamers. Anyone who grew up in the era of the SNES or N64 would eat this game up.

@AT7outof10 7 месяцев назад

Since they had to start from scratch with the cast, landing on a shapeshifting tanuki boy as the Goemon surrogate was a pretty inspired choice. Hoping for its success, if only just to get an english release and/or more games for this fresh IP!

@ImportGamingFTW 6 месяцев назад

Right, such a fun and clever choice!

@cratercritter 6 месяцев назад

Bakeru is probably the most fun I've had with a game for ages. Like Goemon before it, it's just a riot of imagination and although some of the transform power-ups are a little too powerful the sheer amount of stages meant I really had fun working through it over the holidays without having to struggle with an over demanding difficulty curve. Can't wait to see what translation horrors get performed on it if it comes to the west.

@ToyotaKudoFan 7 месяцев назад

It looks fantastic, happy to see it lives up to expectations! Here's hoping that it will be translated sooner rather than later, whether an official localization or a fan patch. This is definitely the game us Goemon fans have been waiting nearly 20 years for!

@importaku 7 месяцев назад

Was one of the highlights of my year it has it's flaws but i personally enjoyed it even more than mario wonder, the levels are really beautifully designed. While it's not totally able to top the inventiveness of the 2D goemon games it easily gives the 3D ones a run for their money. My only disappointment was there been nothing for finding everything that area with the last boss is pretty empty and would have been great to have added a few really challenging stages to do after finding everything. Hope that it's not a stand alone game and they try to keep it going. Games that look like this do not come around often at all.

@ImportGamingFTW 7 месяцев назад

If I had a "game of the year," it's definitely Armored Core VI, but I think Mameda no Bakeru is 2nd, with Mario Wonder, Mario RPG remake, Octo II and RE4 remake trailing somewhere after. I agree with your "disappointments"--and fingers crossed for a sequel!

The game looks like a fun time and I'll probably grab it soon, but there is one thing I feel not just this game, but most 3D platformers look over nowadays. I've felt this way ever since Mario Odyssey released and I've yet to find another 3D platformer that does it, but if you're going to have currency, please include some neat alternate costumes to spend it on. I know there's upgrades to buy here too and the masks are fine, but I feel they could also add in some cool looking full body outfits based on more Japanese mythology, or maybe to switch things up, on those plus other mythologies from around the world.

@coyotelongshot 7 месяцев назад

Great review! Been playing through slowly over the holidays, I think it really nails the tone and Japanese aesthetic of a Goemon game, and each area representing a different prefecture really hearkens back to Mystical Ninja, but the stage design, transformations, collectibles, and general gameplay all feel more similar to a modern platformer a la Mario 3D World. It's definitely its own thing which is great IMO, I'm glad to see a new IP establishing an identity of its own rather than just aspiring to be a Goemon clone. Lots of indirect references to appreciate though, stuff like the "wise old tanuki" and Bunbuku's super punch/laser had me smiling. I have my gripes with it (Repetition with levels/music/enemies really starts to set in after a while, and I agree the game is easy but man some of those insta-death platforming sections are frustrating!), but I'm really enjoying it overall and hoping for an English release sometime soon!

まてまて！何？？ I NEED THIS! also THANK YOU to the devs for providing phonetics for the kanji, Im still a babi when it comes to 日本語, but now I'm even more inspired to continue studying, I never thought I'd ever hear about goemon again

@ImportGamingFTW 6 месяцев назад

It really is like the ultimate study tool for Goemon fans at this point!

@TeamUnpro 6 месяцев назад

Heck yea~ this fills the void that mystical ninja left in my soul, I played the heck out of that game as a kid lol@@ImportGamingFTW

This game looks really fun even if you aren't a fan of Goemon. I hope this gets localized. I loved Goemon on the SNES and N64 and would love to see a return.

I miss a Goemon game where you visit village to village and interacting with NPCs

@Ljmaverick88 7 месяцев назад

OMG, the game looks interesting and the design of the protagonist quickly reminds me of goemon... Hopefully and goodfeel I can launch it internationally. I wish you happy holidays from Mexico.

Praying Princess Peach showtime is going to be good then. It sounds like Good feels track record is hit or miss.

Merry Christmas man. It really is a nice gift for us starving Goemon fans. I do find it funny how they picked Goemon's VA bak in the day due to him doing a lot of ninja and comedy related roles in various ventures, with Yasunori Matsumoto and now they picked Junko Takeuchi, the voice of Uzumaki Naruto, as the voice of Bakeru since Bakeru is a ninja tanuki disguised as a boy...which is similar to the Naruto pilot, where Naruto is a ninja kitsune disguised as a boy. Goodfeel is wild. PS : Wait a minute...the Kintaro form is sumo, it's based on Urashima Taro, Kintaro and Momotaro and the main hero can transform into them, Urashima Taro's form has fish reel and Momotaro has a gun? Now, it's a bit of a stretch but could they be referencing Kamen Rider Den-O with that, where Urataros had a fish pole, Kintaros was a sumo maniac with an ax and Momotaros was a brash hothead with a sword that often butted heads with the others, especially the head-in-the-clouds Ryutaros who was a break-dancing gunslinger? Well...colour me impressed.

@ImportGamingFTW 6 месяцев назад

These GoodFeel fellas are really clever--I wouldn't be surprised if they had some sort of Kamen Rider references in there. I wouldn't be able to catch them if they were there...I'm sure there are tons of things that we've missed!
