Re: Goemon DS Video

Kinda reminds me of Pocky and Rocky. I might try it. What were the SNES and N64 editions like?

Re: Goemon DS Video

Rad. I lost my Goemon 64, though.

How do you switch between moving your character and messing with the touch screen so quickly?? I guess I'd have to try it myself.

[ErikaFuzzbottom]

Re: Goemon DS Video

Um, I guess you'd control your character's movement with one hand and use the touch-screen with the other.

Re: Goemon DS Video

The SNES versions of Goemon are badass games, but you'd need a super famicom to play 3-4... They get pretty tough.

Re: Goemon DS Video

you dont need a super famicom. inside the SNES are two little plastic bits that go in the grooves of SNES carts. bust those out and super famicom games work in the SNES.

Re: Goemon DS Video

Cool. But finding copies of those games is still a pain in the butt (and usually expensive).

Re: Goemon DS Video

You mean it's that simple? I always thought that modding systems involved opening the darn things up.

Say, do import games look funny running on a US system? I thought I heard the screen resolution of TVs/games was a bit different than in the US.

Re: Goemon DS Video

As far as the SNES goes, I have no idea. We use the $15.00 super famicom my friend from Japan gave us. He got Rockman 7 for around $3.00.

But the Goemon games are totally worth it. This DS title looks like it has a lot of potential.

Re: Goemon DS Video

for the SNES, there's no actual changes in the hardware aside from the little plastic bits in the cartridge bay. everything else is exactly the same. I busted those things out back in 98 when I imported Rockman and Forte. I had intended to obtain a super famicom, thinking there'd be lockout like with the genesis/megadrive, but Mikochan told me just to break the plastic bits out with pliers and then file them down anything left. I did it, and import games work flawlessly in it now.

so yeah, if you want to play imports on the SNES, all you need is a pair of pliers.

Re: Goemon DS Video

When I took those plastic things out of my Super Nintendo, I tried using pliers. Didn't work too well, it was probably the tool being sucky. I managed to get a tiny piece off one part, and bend the other.

I resorted to using one of those wood burning pens that you use for art, and got them out like that. It left melty marks on my SNES in various places, then for the hell of it I burned in 'Syv' on the side.

Next time I'm getting better tools.

Oh Yeah. There's another option, and that's taking the Japanese cartridge, opening that up, taking the actual game circuit thing out, and putting it in a US cart. You need a gamebit to do it.
Gamebits offer a lot of extra options, usually not for what I just brought up. Most people I know that get them, switch their friend's games around into different carts so what looks like Earthbound will actually play Mortal Kombat, etc. Others buy games from gamestop and switch the games with ones they don't want, then return them and get their money back. Suddenly a copy of Madden is playing Chrono Trigger, or Final Fantasy 3..
