1. The 15th Season Starts! "Mr. Gimmick" (#117)

0.0Apr 14, 2011 · 60 min

The game that opens this new season is Sunsoft’s Gimmick! This platformer came at the peak of the Famicom’s life, and is a fantastic production both visually and musically. And though it may look cute and possess only six stages, it’s designed for platforming pros; a nice send-off for a system that more or less made the genre.
