✨It’s the mysterious Green warrior, Yumetaro!!✨

Please enjoy these old drawings of the main characters (and the dumb redesign of the unnamed girl) from the cult classic, Gimmick!

And why I consider the redesign “dumb” is because she’s:

-unnecessarily redesigned

-is NSFW bait (suggestive poses and slight nudity)

-and also caused certain things to be changed in the story, but I’m not spoiling that…

And all for a dumb quick buck… hope you’re proud of yourselves Sunsoft…

Also here’s a bonus drawing of my Kirby VS Yumetaro I made years ago! (You can also watch the Timelapse on YouTube!) https://youtu.be/A1DSMTp9Ads?si=R6nXwowfs37VisYL

They both made their first appearance in 1992 funnily enough! 🌟

Todays rip: 26/01/2024

​THIS RIP WAS MADE BY TEETH GANG

Season 3 Featured on: The SiIvaGunner Spooktacular Halloween Horror Special Collection '17​-​'19

Ripped by UUN4 Visuals by KnightOfGames, "Teeth Gang"

Look, uh, feel free to skip the visuals on this one if you're sensitive. There's a lot of, teeth, in this one.

I really don't know how I was able to forget about ​THIS RIP WAS MADE BY TEETH GANG for so many years, when I specifically recall being there on the channel the day it went up. It might just've been due to Halloween 2018 being a rather understated and not very memorable event in general, mainly there to tease the next year's Halloween blowout of Spooktacular III - a by contrast amazing event that I covered briefly in Battle with Jeffinite. Yet the music to Gimmick! was on my mind for some unknown reason as of late, and one YouTube search later, I'd rejoined the Teeth Gang.

The SiIvaGunner channel is pretty inextricably tied to the Chiptune community, right down to where several members of the team almost exclusively make chiptune rips. As a result, the channel's rips have featured a good number of games that neither you or I may find particularly nostalgic or even good, but that are beloved by chiptune artists for their lovely sound - Viva La Robocop and Beautiful! ~ Curveball of Sean Kingston come to mind as two examples of this that I've covered on the blog. The NES game Gimmick! is somewhat of a special case, though, thanks to its develope Sunsoft. Despite not having all too many games under their belt that could be considered genuine classics, Sunsoft is still remembered by a lot of gaming enthusiasts specifically for how they made consoles like the NES/Famicom and Sega Genesis positively sing. Gimmick!, released late into the Famicom's life, is the perfect embodiment of that, celebrated in some ways as the de-facto game to showcase just what the NES is capable of doing (Follin soundtracks notwithstanding).

That's the backstory for why I was out looking for rips of the game, anyway - as for the reason why TEETH got involved to result in ​THIS RIP WAS MADE BY TEETH GANG, that's an area I was woefully undereducated on. It's likely that many of those reading this had the chance to grow up more closely attached to Nickelodeon's cartoon programming of the early 2000s, and by extension had some truly iconic bangers embedded into your minds. I'm again speaking as an outsider, but - good LORD, discovering that My Shiny Teeth And Me had over 20 million views on YouTube left me completely flabbergasted. Do you remember just two days ago in Guilty Eyes Creeper where I discussed just how many rabbitholes there are to fall into on SiIvaGunner? Yeah, this is a prime example of me doing just that, as recently as this week.

Because yeah - even though I first saw THIS RIP WAS MADE BY TEETH GANG, my lack of familiarity with the song made me not really care for the rip's audio (which was also because the visuals were, naturally, a lot more memorable for the wrong reasons). Five years later, I can officially confirm that My Shiny Teeth And Me is a fucking BANGER that I wish I'd given a chance sooner, partially carried by the vocalist being a member of 2000s boy band NSYNC, but also just the melody and progression being very catchy in general! And when arranged through the aforementioned beautiful Sunsoft-y sound of Gimmick, it's a perfect fit - the sugary pop cheer of My Shiny Teeth And Me fits the sound of Gimmick, and Happy Birthday in particular, like an absolute glove. The main melody, bassline, percussion - though its all playing within the limitations of the original Famicom track, it still manages to sound just as full of life as the song its arranging.

And look, I've been throwing shade toward the choice of giving the rip visuals, but I'll say it - I think even back then I found it pretty fucking funny. Learning in hindsight that "TEETH GANG" is actually just members of the SiIva team submitting their own teeth edits for the rip, ballooning the size of contributors to this otherwise simple rip, just makes things even funnier. THIS RIP WAS MADE BY TEETH GANG was indeed made by teeth gang, and through the simple combination of the three different rabbitholes its made up of that I chose to explore, its now become a rip I'll never be able to forget.

HEBEREKE Enjoy Edition (PC/Steam)

The emulated Famicom game (Hebereke) is still in Japanese; you can then look up screenshots showing both the NES PAL English translation (it was "Ufouria: The Saga" on NES in Europe; did not come out on NES in North America), and the current English translation, in a "Special Snaps" menu gallery that unlocks. 'p'

The FC cart goes for $200 on eBay (cart only). : PPP

Odd translation presentation aside, Hebereke is quite fun so far and the characters are great. ^ _^

Dead Zone

After cutting their teeth on console ports of arcade games like Arabian and Route-16: Turbo, Sunsoft began creating original titles for the Famicom and its then-new Disk System add-on. Among these was Dead Zone, their first adventure game and one of the earlier examples of the genre following the Famicom port of the influential Portopia Serial Murder Case. The result is a decent sci-fi adventure that’s worth a look for what it tries to do, though it can be cumbersome.
