drx said that all he could tell me was that it was mystical ninja, but still though, i wish i had more information, like what was actually written on the cart. i'd understand if it had japanese on it and all it said was "Legend of Mystical Ninja". That's another strange thing you have to remember, it was originally "Legend of Mystical Ninja" on the list, but that's the name of the SNES game. The English version of the game was "Mystical Ninja 64: Starring Goemon", and the Japanese version was "Ganbare Goemon ~Neo Momoyama-Bakufu no Odori". However, on the cart of the Goemon's Great Adventure prototype, it says "Mystical Ninja 2" - it was never called that in either Japan or US - but it was in Europe. Strange huh? So "The Legend of Mystical Ninja" might be what it says on the cart, and he can't tell us any more info because the rest of the crap might be written in Japanese (and no one that I know of can easily write in Japanese without taking the time to do it so...). Food for thought I suppose. And even if it's English, keep in mind, debug features are fine and dandy too. They didn't just open up the game in a hex editor to translate it, after all, and localization seems to have been done by the developers themselves - rather than outsource it to someone else. There are a lot of different possibilities, but I know, it's unfair that we can't at least know what's written on the cart - but business is business.

tl:dr, I wish we could get just a FEW more details. I doubt it'd make me withdraw my money, because there's probably more than meets the eye. I know now for a fact that the reason why it's so cheap for a N64 prototype is because he probably couldn't sell the game before, had it for a while, and wants to get rid of it. And for $350, $20 from each user, it's not really a loss if we get boned in terms of what we had hoped for. 

Either way, don't worry about it. I'm sure it won't be a bad prototype.

You know what I am worried about? Can drx dump it with the GameShark I sent him (hasn't said anything about testing it, only that he got it in the mail since I left...)...oh god...

ps: also keep in mind, it's sorta acting as a sequal to the snes game legend of mystical ninja (according to Feb 98 issue of Nintendo Power). Another thing to keep in mind, and I don't know this for sure at the moment, but it the title on the cart might be going with what says in the header of the game itself. Like for example, OoT's header was "The Legend of Zelda", not "Ocarina of Time".
