She does look way older than the girl in the original. But the anime girlness overload is amazing! This version is just visually and musically beautiful overall.
It's interesting the little changes they made to the final boss to make it look less "creepy". On this version, the final boss is a witch/magical girl instead of an evil wizard. Secondly, the girl is locked on what looks like a "normal bedroom" instead of a dungeon (which is kinda implied on the NES version with just a dark room with a door). Lastly, the girl has food right next to her; meaning she was being taken care of.
I suppose they made those changes so the villain wouldn't be too much of a monster, considering she and her fellow toys did what they did because they felt neglected.
@@crunchsixfoe Maybe.. but.. I still prefer original 8-bit versions over those 16-bit remixes. 16-bit is not bad but, I would have chosen the different instruments.
Yeah. This game sold very poorly because it was released late NES era and not even in the US. Now these guys seem to want the same thing. It would be good to release this on every current console and maybe release the original NES/Famicom version along with it
@@DuckJohnn they want people to go to the arcades, that's why an arcade operator would buy an exclusive like this. Exa is in the arcade business so it makes sense they wouldn't put it on modern platforms, or at least not until the game has had a proper run in the arcades.
@@matthewcoreyhall Aren't arcade devices quite rare these days? I have never seen current ones myself, at least not here in Finland. Maybe those are popural nowadays only in Japan and the USA.. I don't know.
@@DuckJohnn At least the NES game did get released in your country, albeit with a worse soundtrack, not to mention, good luck trying to find a Scandinavian copy today.
You'd be right, there's three things that contribute to that: 1) It's in a wider aspect ratio (something like 16:10.5 compared to the original's 16:15). It keeps the same 256 horizontal pixel count, but the viewport isn't as tall as in the original game. 2) The video appears to be horizontally stretched around 15-20% wider. 3) Adding to the sense of zoom-in, many of the sprites are a little larger than they were in the original game.
So like the original Gimmick is one of my favorite Famicom games so when I heard about a remake, I was interested but got my hopes up. Arcade only cocktease.
I think the new first phase looks ridiculous with the silly hat and umbrella, but second phase is better. And fits the soundtrack name better anyway, what kind of guy name is Sophia.

Someone seriously needs to upload the whole ost of the game! And I hope we get a console release of the game!😄🤩😎👌
right
still hasn't happened
so stoked for the console release! still can't believe we're getting it
@@serrotnodnarB Wait, we’re actually getting a console release of the arcade remake?!😮😱🤯😶🌫️

Hearing a new official take on Good Weather is actually overwhelming. Thanks for uploading footage!
I’m going to Japan soon for a trip, I’d love to know where I can find this arcade machine
Game Center Mikado in Takadanobaba has one
The OST sounds close to how I imagine the composer's version sounded on those old synthesizers. Assuming it isn't just that, which would be amazing.
However, some notes are invalid or missing. For example, in the Steel Drum part of Good Weather, E is F.
The remix sounds better than the second game version
THE BOSS MUSIC IS SO FUCKING AMAZING, IT SLAPS
28:48 now that explains why the music is THAT good
Famicom/NES version sounds way better
@@DuckJohnn Disagree and NES? Lol. Exa > FC > NES
@@crunchsixfoe Well ofc FC > NES, but I like FC version more than remake
@@DuckJohnn Manabu Namiki is a VGM god and is definitely the guy to take an amazing soundtrack and do it even better on the remix.
@@crunchsixfoe Maybe.. but.. I still prefer original 8-bit versions over those 16-bit remixes. 16-bit is not bad but, I would have chosen the different instruments.
one of the greatest videogame soundtracks ever made.
That girl looks a LOT older than her original appearance...
They really had to make the game sexy

Did you buy an exA-ARCADIA unit with the game to be able to record the video? Or have you used some kind of emulator?
its not that expensive to get it. its like $8000
@@welovethesnorks "Hurr durr 8000 dollars isn't expensive"
@@welovethesnorksYou have to work like a few months straight with zero breaks to get $8000 you dweeb
4:55 I never knew you could go up there tf
so happy for the final boss, her transition went so well ❤
Imagine if ex-Arcadia gave Journey to Silius/RAF World and Super Spy Hunter/Battle Formula this treatment
whew! that soundtrack would be epic!
Nah, let Inti Creates handle Silius, you saw what they did with BMZ.
i didn't know about this, but this beautiful port of gimmick is apparently only available on exa-arcadia hardware?
y? just y?🥺

no way...
I just knew manabu namiki was involved in this soundtrack for some reason
Why couldn't we get this on console? were stuck with the NES VERSION
ギミックは子供のころの大好きなゲームだった! でも、今なぜおっぱいがある??? 子供だと思ったけど。。。
Different character designs due to the updated graphics
Arcade games always focus on short-term happiness instead of long-term satisfaction
I don't like how they redraw final boss. Why they delete musketeer?
Adorable
WHAT THE FUCK GIMMICK GOT AN ARCADE RE-RELEASE
To be more specific, an 16bit remake for arcades only
@@Vetusomaru I don't care *what* shape it takes, the fact that Gimmick got a re-release in *2020* of any kind is insane to me and worth looking into
@@WishMakers Boy, you're in for a surprise! Check the news, the original is coming back! :D
@@hyrule9165 I just learned of it a couple hours ago I'm SO hyped!!!!
is it me, or does this looks *more* pixelated than the original? It's still very pretty, but I could swear the original game was more zoomed out
It is a little more pixelated as well as there's a bit of a stretch to fit the aspect ratio.
its 16 bit instead of 8 bit.. so there are more pixels
@@DumDoDoor its not more pixelated, its new art in 16 bit - twice the amount of pixels
You'd be right, there's three things that contribute to that:
1) It's in a wider aspect ratio (something like 16:10.5 compared to the original's 16:15). It keeps the same 256 horizontal pixel count, but the viewport isn't as tall as in the original game.

3) Adding to the sense of zoom-in, many of the sprites are a little larger than they were in the original game.
@@Trianull Thanks. I think the stretching it what does it
Why haven't they released it on Steam? Get it there ASAP
How to download this game, please 🙏
You have to buy the exa arcade I think
Crossing my fingers what sunsoft announces is a port
And now we got the original back. :)
@@pablomovil86 and I couldn’t be any happier for that!
@@kitestar I really hope Exact Mix is included but I really doubt it haha
@@Roosader it’s not, it’s just the FC original, the dev’s told me… oh well I’ll settle for that at least
@@Roosader takes you 5 seconds to google that
Where's the action figure with the laser sword as the final boss?
Ohhhh is that what that is??
Nice route. I hadn't thought of doing a score run.
Wish we could hear the music without fx
pay $8000
25:51
Is replaced for a girl
Does this game not have the original intro, where the girls toys turn against and kidnap her out of jealousy?
It’s has an enhanced version!
Late, but the intro is in this video @29:54
The intro is at the end.
Which is a weird sentence to say.
This could have been a good Sega Saturn or PS1 gMe.
So like the original Gimmick is one of my favorite Famicom games so when I heard about a remake, I was interested but got my hopes up. Arcade only cocktease.
If someone acts as player 2, is that one enemy on the ship still playable?
Yep, they kept that in!!
Wait, what?
Can anybody rip this game and put it up for the world to play? Anybody?? The exA-Arcadia is just a pretty low-spec PC at heart.
I hope so tbh. I would LOVE to buy a PC/digital release if they made it available, but barring that...
fucked up of you to ask for this
@@CharemTheShadox you people are the reason why they didn't release it to the public. look at you just asking for free shit
So , is there any difference in difficulty between this and the Nes version?
Probably not
There is, namely there is a time limit. In the original you could take as much time as needed.
Kirby clone is gimmck!!!
Gimmick! is older, actually. Gimmick! clone is kirby!!
The original final boss was cooler smh
@Otneimica yeah
I think the new first phase looks ridiculous with the silly hat and umbrella, but second phase is better. And fits the soundtrack name better anyway, what kind of guy name is Sophia.
I can't play this.
dangit exA-Arcadia.
Awesome
Kirby for the S&M crowd. You need a safe word when playing this game.
Who is the True Final Boss ?
roms?
whats exa arcadia??
This game was ported as an actual arcade game in December.
So aesthetically this is Kirby
Isn't the aesthetic Gimmick! on the Famicom, from the superior action/platformer game.
The original gimmick came out before Kirby
Like Kirby but with a trickier platforming mechanic
Kirby but not that childish.
