Rare Retro Game Gimmick! Gets Released for Modern Consoles

Gimmick! Special Edition has finally been released. Back in May, I published an article discussing the retro game that was published for the Famicom and Scandinavian Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), late in the console’s life-cycle. Gimmick! has become quite an expensive game, until now…

You can now buy Gimmick! on modern consoles with some advanced features. I covered the game on my YouTube channel and gave the game an “overview” here.

Modern enhancements:

• Achievements
• Time Attack Mode
• Online Leaderboards
• Save and Quick Load
• Rewind Function
• Gallery mode
• Sound test

The last enhancement, “Sound Test,” is not out in the open. I made a separate video showing the player how to access that feature. It is here:

The game is incredibly difficult, but modern hardware is an excellent way to play this retro game. The game was released today for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
