I believe Goemon is a pretty popular game in retro gaming circles. It comes up on many people’s “Top 10 N64” games or list of “hidden gems” on the console
Yes and no, Goemon is a niche franchise and its N64 games are (just like you said) _hidden gems, both might be great games but they only live in the memory of the few who played them (I only played GGA).
On the Internet I’ve seen people give praise to niche franchises (Goemon, Mischief Makers, Kirby Air Ride), but I’ve never met someone in person who knew about them or played them before I played with them.
The recompilation project might give them new life for us, but I doubt most people would drop whatever overhyped game that they are playing right now just to try and find a rom to recompile it… I hope they do, because they are fun games, but I doubt it.
I feel like there’s a lot of overlap between the people who are interested in the recompiled ROMs and the people who are involved in N64 discussions on the internet, haha
