Sunsoft released Gimmick for the NES towards the end of the console’s lifespan, initially failing to attract much attention. However, recent reconsideration has transformed it into a classic, greatly desired by gamers. In 2024, Bitwave Games is bringing out a sequel named Gimmick 2 for all major platforms. Although specific details are sparse, promotional material hints at puzzles, enemy manipulation, and a physics-based world akin to the original. As the developers behind revered shmup reissues and the acclaimed platformer Wunderling, Bitwave Games is handling this much-anticipated follow-up.
