Gimmick! 2 - Nintendo Switch - Clear River Games

Yumetaro returns—experience a classic challenge modernized in Gimmick! 2 on Nintendo Switch.

Decades after his first adventure, the green little yokai sets out on a brand-new quest packed with interesting challenges, dangerous enemies, and hidden treasures. Whether you’re discovering the series for the first time or revisiting a legend, this sequel brings playful physics and precision platforming to life.

Play your way with a friendlier assisted mode, or take on the true-to-the-original “Gimmick!” mode for a formidable test of skill. As a yokai, Yumetaro can summon and throw a powerful star that bounces and preserves momentum—master this “star physics” to activate switches, defend against enemies, and even ride your star to reach secret areas. Experiment to uncover treasure, find clever shortcuts, and set speed records as you perfect your technique.

A legendary soundtrack elevates every moment. Composer David Wise delivers brand-new melodies alongside reimagined classics, with creative direction by Pelle Cahndlerby and live recording in Sweden with Joel Bille. It’s a sparkling homage to the beloved original Gimmick! (released for the Famicom in 1992 and localized in the West only in Scandinavia) and a fresh adventure the whole world can now enjoy.
