It may not completely scratch the Goemon itch on a gameplay front. This is more of an action brawler instead of a rpg light platformer. But the creativity on display is commendable to say the least. The way they take each Japanese prefecture and break down the culture into action stages is really neat to see. It's very much a quality product and I hope good feel are planning on making this a full fledged franchise. Maybe with an fully open 3D world ;) .
