Do I have the soundtrack rip in my Winamp files on my computer from over 10 years ago? Maaaybe... 😁This game is simply awe inspiring and a treasure to play. It makes everyone's life better if they give it a try.
The fact that this whole adventure happened because a couple of toys were jealous.... Could you imagine Toy Story, but Woody was so jealous of Buzz that he takes Andy to some alternative dimension out of anger? Quite the spite, these toys have.
They're too cute for me to even be mad at them 😭B-but did they just die at the end....? Yumetaro is the cutest, even his little expressions when he takes damage makes me 😭
So nostalgic. I got NES as a birthday present when I was a kid and this game was included in the console package. I used to play this almost everyday. It has been now almost 30 years since I played this last time, but I can still remember so much. It was a pleasure to hear all those great tunes again and hum along. Thanks for uploading this!
To be fair, when they talked about using Yoshi on the Famicom, it was still SMB1 era with only NROM boards available: raw Famicom hardware with no mappers at all. SMB1 really did push that setup to its limits. But 10+ years, six generations of MMCs, and several dozen third-party mapper chips later, a lot of things became possible with the NES that weren't possible at the beginning. This game makes very smart use of its mappers.
@@TheSpooniestMappers and stuff have nothing to do with no yoshi, they can’t anything like an entire cpu in a cart afterall, they always could have, they just didn’t know how to The mappers are just better for storage. And if we’re talking NES only, then that’s all they were for
Never heard of this game before the re-release on PS4/Switch. Just wanted to quickly say that the game itself as well as the gameplay shown here are impressive, such a joy to watch. Mastered it. As for the game, I'm glad my attention was brought to it, it definitely seems more refined to other games on the system, to a degree that I found it hard to believe that this came out back in the day and isn't some modern homebrew. Very cool.
Albeit very tough, this game is just absolutely awesome. One of the most underrated games ever made. The soundtrack deserves no introduction due to how awesome it sounds. :D
I was enjoy seeing playthroughs of this game and Sunsoft did an impeccable job using the NES hardware to produce this title from the animation to the stellar soundtrack.
One of the best (and the cutest) platformers that I've ever played. The physics behind Yumetaro's star are executed so very well - as a means of attacking enemies, for finding all of the required treasures in each stage to get the good ending, and for mastering the game itself, the character animation is buttery smooth - probably some of the best animation on the NES, and both the art style and enemy designs feel like if Sunsoft wanted to create their own Kirby game. Lots of bright, flashy colors and the Ohagi are essentially the Waddle Dees of this game. But, I think we can all agree that the best part about this game is its phenomenal soundtrack - putting that Sunsoft bass to good use.
The plot of the girl's other toys banding together to kidnap her out of jealousy for Yometaro sounds like something out of a horror movie. "What were they thinking?!"
saw someone try to play this on twitch (this video makes it looks easy) and i swear that this was some indie game done during some gamejam but no, this is a friggin' NES game. looks amazing (loved the birds flying by in the background in the last stage) the music is nice and the story is simple and cute. sucks that it didnt get the attention it deserved when it was first released (bad timing since Super Famicom was just out) but glad its getting some respect now.
Gimmick! (Mr. Gimmick), Dynamite Batman (Batman: Return of The Joker), Chō Wakusei Senki Meta Fight (Blaster Master), Fester Quest, etc... Are the best games that Sunsoft created.
This game has the most bizarre history I've ever seen. It released before Kirby first did, took on a more interesting Gimmick (pun intended), and never got the chance to appeal to a larger audience. Maybe it's due to Kirby being marketed better, maybe it's due to being an experimental title, but for what Nintendo did with it, I'm shocked they decided to make a sequel to it years after it fell into obscurity. It would be crazier still if it somehow made decent reputation after this new game releases.
Damn this game looks great. Sad how it wasn't bigger. But crazy how it released only in Sweden, my country, outside of Japan. And then Swedish dev made the second one.
This is the Scandinavian/PAL version of the game, which has a vastly inferior soundtrack The original famicom version of the game used an audio expansion chip in the cartridge to allow more sounds to play at the same time. The international NES doesn't support this, so this version of the game doesn't have the extra voices. But instead of reworking the soundtrack into the new limitations, they simply disabled any sound that would've come from the expansion chip. @NintendoComplete I remember you used to have a longplay of the original version, but I can't find it anymore. Did you remove it? If so, could you please reupload it? I really prefer that version of the game, and your playthrough was by far the best on UA-cam.
They did a little reworking of the soundtrack here, e.g. when the original arrangement used expansion square channels for a bass line, it's usually reassigned to the triangle channel here. But for the most part they were content to just omit chord pads or countermelodies that the extra channels were used for.
And watching this was the moment I realized that Venture Kid wasn’t inspired by just megaman. Looking back, there are so many references towards Mr. Gimmick in Venture Kid.
what is the name of the classic nes game in which the character has only head and leg and he breaks rocks and solves puzzles to get through to the next level?
Crazy how playstation had a price hike at $21 for a week or 2. Game is way too frustrating even with rewind and save states, especially in narrow areas, or jumping to a new screen to get shot with cheap nintendo hard difficulty. Final boss seemed like a pushover at least, though the mine carts were the toughest when not barraged by enemies in previous level 4 who can block that slow charging star that needs you to wait let alone figure to ride it like a poor man's Kirby.
There could be several reasons why a specific product, service, or media titled "Gimmick" was never released in the U.S. Some potential factors include: Market Demand: The producers may have determined that there was insufficient demand in the U.S. market for "Gimmick" to justify the costs associated with its release. Cultural Differences: Sometimes, products or media do not resonate with U.S. audiences due to cultural differences, leading to a decision not to release them. Licensing and Distribution Issues: There may be legal or contractual hurdles that prevent the product from being released in the U.S., including licensing agreements or distribution rights. Competition: The marketplace may be saturated with similar products or services, making it less appealing for "Gimmick" to enter the market. Production Costs: If the production and marketing costs are too high compared to the expected return on investment in the U.S., the company may opt not to pursue a release. If you have a specific "Gimmick" in mind, please provide more context, and I can offer more detailed insights!

Really hoping to try and get the Gimmick Special Edition for Switch soon, always been meaning to try this game. Also the game's definitely one of _the_ NES/Famicom hardware pushers for sure.

10:38 Miyamoto: we cannot do Yoshi and Mario on the Famicom.
Sunsoft: pfff, amateur...
Haha I was just saying the same exact thing about Adventure Island II the other day.

It came out right before Kirby. January 92 vs April 92 (remember Kirby came first on Gameboy, not NES).
Great post, happy Summer '23.
No his name is "Mr. Gimmick Dinosaur"
Never heard of this one before. Somewhere in between Kirby and Megaman.....very cool.
The plot of the girl's other toys banding together to kidnap her out of jealousy for Yometaro sounds like something out of a horror movie. "What were they thinking?!"
I still wanna know who the final boss was! He looked like a Power Ranger. Was he in charge somehow?
@@edwardgaines6561He or she since the arcade version changed their character intro a female knight.
@@JorgeRatti-jojooojo That made no sense. Just a frivolous gender change.
Whoever decided to disband Sunsoft's Famicon/NES team to invest in publishing third party games in the 16bit era, deserves to rot in hell.
Yeah, we somehow went from this to Road Runner's Death Valley Rally 🤮
@@NintendoCompleteI got road runner for Christmas as a kid. I could never beat that damn game.
Im pretty much gonna make a alternate universe game where Sunsoft's famicom/NES team did not disband and made a few snes games.
The aero and other games weren’t all bad on the 16-bit. And they couldn’t stay 16-bit forever
Such a good game and a nice playthrough! :)
Thanks!

Guys I can't, this game is too stinkin cute, just look at lil Yumetaro with his 🥺face
*I really wished they made an anime of this game.*
That would be cute. The girl could be voiced by Kaede Hondo.
Oh my god he jumps like Megaman.
And he kinda looks like kirby... KIRBYMAN?????
the music in this game is just incredible!
I’m so exited for gimmick 2

i love the thumbnail lol
this game and its soundtrack fucks too
I love the first level song with all my life
You know they’re making Mr. Gimmick 2
An amazing game.
Damn this game looks great. Sad how it wasn't bigger. But crazy how it released only in Sweden, my country, outside of Japan. And then Swedish dev made the second one.
This game seems very indicative to a Kirby game. Did Sunsoft come up with this game before Kirby?
I think it came out shortly before the first Kirby game.
First Kirby game was in 1992 and this was 1993. Its possible Kirby's Dreamland was an inspiration but its probably just a coincidence
@@royalgarden18 The Japanese version came out in early 92.
Yes this game inspired Kirby to exist!

found this game due to a siivagunner rip and gotta say just from the first 4 minutes this looks pretty ahead of it's time for a famicom game
And watching this was the moment I realized that Venture Kid wasn’t inspired by just megaman. Looking back, there are so many references towards Mr. Gimmick in Venture Kid.
This game looks really good for NES. I know some early genesis games that dont look this good 😢
Cute gameplay
Sunsoft=King
Is this to honor the recent switch rerelease?
I've never Heard about this game, the music Is impressive and the gameplay Is pretty simple Yet engaging
Parts of the map screen sound like TMNT. I wonder if the same people worked on both.
This looks so much fun ♥ And I thought Meta Fight is Sunsoft's best game on the Famicom. I hope to get a copy soon.
switch version is hyped
This must be one of the cutest games ever :-)
Im hoping they should port this to the NES online 😭🙏

What in the ChatGPT
How is this an NES game?? It looks and plays better that Kirby's Adventure, which is a first party game. Weird how this didn't become mainstream.
what is the name of the classic nes game in which the character has only head and leg and he breaks rocks and solves puzzles to get through to the next level?
It's like Kirby. 🙂
Very nice game
In this video, I feel a little bit faster and less channel! But good play is very attractive!
this is when the snes came out, and they had completely figured out how the nes worked
Really hoping to try and get the Gimmick Special Edition for Switch soon, always been meaning to try this game.
Also the game's definitely one of _the_ NES/Famicom hardware pushers for sure.
Just download it now instead

Better version of Kirby that is all. Gimmick came just before Kirby as well.
Why would you strech the screen!?
It's me or it looks like a game made from a low-budget 80's movie?
Cute

No, a yokai

He's kinda out of left field, isn't he?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...this game made me fall asleep. I went "game-hopping" to see how this game ended.
Objectively not worth the price
I'm here after the Gimmick 2 trailer.
So THATS why this was recommended? I've never heard of this game, but saw the sequel announcement lol
