I mean, I guess you could call Vampire Survivors casual...
okay, Gimmick I’m VASTLY more interested in than Ikki
A version of Gimmick actually coming out in North America WITH rewind is better than I honestly dared hoped from this Sunsoft presentation, so I guess it's already a winner despite not happening yet.
Agreed. Or… as part of a collection with Uforia and more?
Still thinking a day later about how the presenter literally said "Sunsoft is back, baby!!" Really an impressive amount of confidence for someone speaking without an interpreter.
idk why, but the guy attributing their fallow period to "grown-up things" is really funny to me.
I think it's interesting how much they're aware of the overseas popularity of their games, particularly Gimmick!
They teased at the end that they had like 4 things they didn't have quite ready to announce, including an unspecified ~remake~. I feel like American audiences might guess it's gonna be Journey to Silius or (more wishfully) Batman, but I think Atlantis no Nazo is the more likely than either.
Personally, I'm holding out hope for an Inti Creates developed Fester's Quest reboot trilogy that combines the top down action of Blaster Master with the first-person shooting of Gal-- ...wait, nevermind.

Weren't they "back" in 2010 with Blaster Master: Overdrive on WiiWare?
Did they do anything after that?

I thought he was running it at the time or something?
I dunno, my memories are faint.
It's really cool to see Gimmick come back. It's one of those famous Famicom games that I've heard nothing but great things about but have never actually played.
I have heard that it has a really high difficulty though, so maybe I shouldn't be too excited to play it lol. Regardless, the music is phenomenal.

The first few stages of Gimmick aren't that hard. In fact, I'd claim that the normal (bad) ending isn't too unreasonable compared to many other NES games.
Where the game really bares its fangs is when you try to go for the good ending. The tricks you need to perform require complete mastery of your moveset (not an exaggeration), and IIRC you need to complete the game 1CC. I've never been able to do it myself.

Fearful asymmetry
Mr. Gimmick is never as easy as the game it resembles, Kirby. You see this cute game with a round green character, and you think, "Oh, it's like Kirby! This will be a fun jaunt!" Then you find out that he's affected by gravity and drops like a stone and has to ride his own projectile as it bounces toward him just to jump up to a higher level, and you think, "This ain't Kirby. This game doesn't fuck around right out of the starting game."
I hope you learned a lesson about stereotyping round colorful characters, sir.
This is all just reminding me how much of a bummer it is that YouTube deleted annotations, because Frank Cifialdi did a lovely annotated 1cc of Gimmick! in like 2009 (he played emulated at like 50% speed, then sped the video up to normal speed, iirc, which is also how he did all the pro-plays on the SNK 40th Collection), but it's, uh, useless and doesn't work now.
