Karlstad, Sweden – October 8, 2024 – Clear River Games, a video game publisher specialising in classic and retro games, is excited to announce a powerhouse platforming package with the release of Gimmick! Legacy Collection on Steam, a great value two-game bundle featuring a duo of platforming gems.
Feast your gaming eyes upon Gimmick! Special Edition and Gimmick! 2; paired beautifully in a Steam bundle with 5% discount! Embark on some unforgettable adventures and fulfil both your old-school and modern-retro platformer dreams in one superb value purchase, the ideal antidote to brighten up the dark autumn nights!
Just to refresh your memory - here’s a little detail about both titles….
Gimmick! Special Edition
A legendary title from SUNSOFT, masters of the NES™ platformer, Gimmick! has achieved near mythical status thanks to its cute and vibrant visuals, deliciously addictive physics-based gameplay and limited release status. Originally arriving in 1992, late in the lifecycle of the NES™, Gimmick! was only available across Japan and Scandinavia, securing its position as a highly sought after title for collectors and platformer fans alike. Ported to modern platforms by developer City Connection, Gimmick! Special Edition is a remarkably faithful conversion to the NES™ original, preserving the original graphics, astonishing soundtrack and highly addictive gameplay that made the game so notorious. In addition, several quality-of-life enhancements have been added to provide modern gamers with the features they have come to expect from well-crafted retro releases.

Gimmick! 2
Developed by Bitwave Games, Gimmick! 2 continues the adventures of the lovable Yokai Yumetaro, who must rescue Ayaka, the daughter of his friend from the original game, from the trickster wizard Manto. A sequel to SUNSOFT’s classic NES game, this new instalment features vibrant characters, whimsical landscapes, and a spirited soundtrack by renowned composer David Wise (Donkey Kong Country series, Battletoads, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts). Although it’s been decades since gamers last experienced the tight platforming mechanics and fiendish challenge made famous by Gimmick!, players can still expect engaging platforming mechanics enhanced by a unique physics-based Star mechanic, catering to both seasoned veterans and newcomers with an easier mode for a more relaxed experience.
Head to Steam now to grab Gimmick! Legacy Collection - available today for a discounted price of just £32.28/$37.51/€37.51
