Gimmick! 2 reveals first look at gameplay

Clear River Games, Bitwave Games, and SUNSOFT shared a gameplay reveal trailer for Gimmick! 2, a direct sequel to the long lost platformer they recently re-released.

Here’s a rundown on the new sequel, plus the gameplay trailer:

Gimmick! 2 hails from developer Bitwave Games and is a follow-up to the beloved NES™ platformer which remains a firm fan-favourite thanks to its tight platforming mechanics, loveable collection of characters and its ability to push the NES to its technical limits.

Now, decades later, our hero of the hour Yokai Yumetaro leaps back into the spotlight, retaining the candy-coloured presentation of the original game with a whole new graphical flourish that fans are certain to adore. A fresh platforming adventure filled with surprises puzzles, and treasures, Gimmick! 2 retains the challenging gameplay of the original game, but also offers an easier mode as an alternative for modern gamers wishing to enjoy the experience at a more forgiving pace.

Filled with a world of weirdly wonderful, adorable characters who tell their stories via silky slick animation, Gimmick! 2 will be a sequel well worth waiting for.
