Gimmick! was exclusively released on Famicom/NES in Japan and Scandinavia in the early ‘90s.
It pushed the console to its limits and the Japanese cartridge featured SunSoft 5B, a custom sound chip that let Masashi Kageyama compose a star-studded soundtrack.
Gimmick! remains one of the most valuable (and rarest) NES cartridges ever made.
The Scandinavian version was called “Mr. Gimmick”.
There’s a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition.
The latter comes with:
- physical copy of the game with reversible cover (region free)
- collector’s edition box
- original 2 disc soundtrack with a retro cart styled CD case
- Yumetaro plush
- retro cartridge keychain
- enamel pin
