Yumetaro is back!

A classic challenge modernized.

In Gimmick! 2, you once again meet the green little yokai Yumetaro.
Decades after his first adventure he now sets out on a new quest in
a world packed with interesting challenges, dangerous enemies, and
hidden treasures.

The game can be played in either an friendlier assisted mode, or if
you're up for a challenge play in the true-to-the-original
"Gimmick"! mode!

Star physics.

As a yokai, Yumetaro has the ability to summon and throw a powerful
star that not only bounces, but also keeps the momentum of his
movement.

The Star can be used to activate switches, defend against enemies
and even be ridden to get to those hard-to-reach places while
exploring the secrets of the world.

You can discover treasure, find shortcuts or set speed records by
mastering the star's bouncing physics. Experiment with it to unlock
its full potential.

This is a game with true star power!

A Legendary Soundtrack.

The composer David Wise hardly needs any introduction. In his work
on the Gimmick! 2 soundtrack, he has both written completely new
melodies and remade old classics. The soundtrack was creatively
directed by Pelle Cahndlerby and recorded live in Sweden together
with Joel Bille.

Blast from the past.

The original Gimmick! game was released for the Famicom in 1992. It
was localized and released in the West - but only in Scandinavia.
This, combined with the fact that the game's physics and gameplay
mechanics were far ahead of its time, made the game both fabled and
beloved. With Gimmick! 2, however, there is no longer any doubt:
this is a game that the whole world should have the chance to
experience.

Languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, Japanese,
Korean, Chinese (simplified) and Chinese (traditional).

Update Notes: v1.3.0 (v196608). Firmware 18.1.0 and master key 18.0
are required.
