Gimmick!, the classic platformer that originally came out in 1992, is making a comeback on the NES as part of a Collector’s Edition release by Limited Run Games. This exclusive item includes a uniquely branded green cartridge, poster, CD soundtrack, enamel pin, and numbered foil slipcover inside a deluxe foil box.
Originally released in Japan for the Famicom before a worldwide NES version followed a year later, Gimmick! is now being re-released to celebrate the platform’s enduring popularity. The Collector’s Edition release starts pre-ordering on January 24th and ends on February 23rd.
How big do you think the market is for retro-game physical releases?
Worldwide? This wasn’t released anywhere outside of Japan or Scandinavia.
Great music and graphics, OK gameplay.
Never heard of Gimmick. I’m not in the market for a cartridge, even though I DO still have my original NES from the 1980s.
But I DID look the game up on houtube, and found a gameplay video. I’m super confused on what is happening in the story. Kinda seems like a family bought their daughter ANOTHER stuffed animal. Then the stuffed animal got rid of the others…and then hopped into a warp to another dimension…and now it’s a platformer game. For some reason.
But the game looks really good.
