Konami will release 'Ganbare Goemon Daishugo!', a collection of 13 titles from the Goemon series spanning the Family Computer, Super Famicom, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color. The set includes four first-time ports and features rewind, quick save, turbo, and rapid fire functions. It commemorates the series' 40th anniversary.
Konami is marking 40 years of the Ganbare Goemon series with a single-cartridge collection. 'Ganbare Goemon Daishugo!' contains 13 games released between 1986 and 2000, drawn from the Family Computer, Super Famicom, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color. Four of the titles-'Ganbare Goemon: Kirakira Dochu: Boku ga Dancer ni Natta Wake', 'Sore Ike ♥ Ebisumaru: Karakuri Meiro: Kieta Goemon no Nazo!!', and 'Ganbare Goemon: Hoshizushi Dynamites Arawaru!!'-are being ported for the first time. The collection includes emulation tools such as rewind, quick save, turbo, and rapid fire, which the publisher says are meant to help players handle tough action sequences and the slower pace of the RPG entries.
