not much in the ways of news for the re-release (it's at least been slightly pushed back to 2023.) but i figured this video deserved more attention.


super well-researched, and has an interview with the game's creator Tomomi Sakai.

Folks, mark your calendars. Today we're thrilled to announce that Gimmick! Special Edition hits Steam, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4 on July 6th. Xbox players are welcome to join the party at a later date.

Gimmick! holds a special place in our hearts. It's an incredible physics-based game with astonishing graphics, which pushed the NES to its absolute limits. First launched in 1992 by SUNSOFT, Gimmick! only initially launched in Japan and Scandinavia and remains a highly sought-after title for retro gaming enthusiasts.

not sure what the deal with the Xbox version is, but i can't imagine it's that big of a delay.
