A handheld entry in the Ganbare Goemon series, New Age Shutsudou! never left Japan, making it a sought-after gateway to the franchise on GBA. Konami rarely reissued its Goemon games, and the portable branch stays low-profile next to the home-console entries, which keeps demand steady among series fans and collectors of Japanese action-platformers. Its territorial exclusivity and the Goemon name drive the price.
Is Goemon - New Age Shutsudou! still worth playing in 2026?
A Mystical Ninja action adventure from Konami, Goemon - New Age Shutsudou! sends the honourable bandit and his allies against a criminal organisation in a colourful, whimsical Japan. The gameplay blends platforming, combat and exploration with the offbeat humour and energy proper to the franchise. The polished production and the brisk pace offset a certain linearity. Japan only, the title asks for a little patience with the language. For a fan of colourful Japanese action or a Goemon fan, the title keeps a festive charm and a strong personality.
