Keen, Green and on Your Console Screen, Yokai Yumetaro Returns in the Sensational Sequel Available for The First Time on PlayStation, Xbox and Now in Physical Form for Nintendo® Switch!
Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, announced today that the critically acclaimed sequel Gimmick! 2 is now available for PlayStation® and Xbox gamers starting today!
Already available digitally on Nintendo® Switch™ and Steam, Gimmick! 2 is now available digitally for PlayStation®4 and PlayStation®5, as well as physical versions for PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
A saccharine-soaked sequel proving a hit amongst gamers and critics alike, Gimmick! 2 sees our loveable green hero Yokai Yumetaro return, determined to rescue Ayaka, the daughter of Yumetaro’s friend from the original Sunsoft game released in the twilight years of the original NES some three decades ago.
The nefarious wizard Manto will not give up Ayaka easily, so it’s up to Yumetaro to rescue her across an epic new platforming adventure filled with colourful new characters, fiendish physics-based puzzles and tight gameplay mechanics.
Featuring a retro inspired soundtrack by celebrated composer David Wise (Donkey Kong Country series, Battletoads, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts), Gimmick! 2 provides the perfect cure for the winter blues with an unforgettable adventure which will challenge seasoned platforming veterans, and delight novices thanks to a new easier mode for those who prefer a more relaxing gaming experience.
Niklas Istenes, CEO of Development Studio, Bitwave Games commented, “Finally, our hero Yukai Yumetaro brings his sequel to PlayStation and Xbox gamers, and we at Bitwave Games couldn’t be more excited to introduce Gimmick! 2 to a broader console audience. On a personal level, I’ve always had a soft spot for Gimmick! and saddened that many gamers never experienced this challenging, physics based gem, due to its limited release some thirty years ago. I’m thrilled that through Gimmick! 2, we get to right-that-wrong and look forward to gamers jumping into this modern day classic!”
Gimmick! 2 is available today via digital download on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S|X. In addition, Gimmick! 2 is available today via physical purchase on PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch.
Gimmick! 2 is also available on Steam and Nintendo Switch digital download.
