What about Gimmick! EXACT☆MIX?

[Reayashin]

That remake is stuck in expensive arcades, it also allows you to play the original Gimmick.

Hi! There are no plans for Gimmick! EXACT☆MIX as we're focusing on the NES / Famicom version.

Great, thanks for confirming I won't be buying this, then. Why do a new release for an inferior version when a better is already out and finished?

Oh, right, because EXA*ARCADIA is a terrible company. What a joke.

Exa is creating and selling commercial arcade products. They're selling to BUSINESSES who want to attract customers and make money off of the games. It seems you're too childish to understand that they can't create a product for every market at the same time.

There's many people like you in the shmup community who cry like disrespectful ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ because they think some team of developers should spend the effort, time, and money to create an entirely separate release for a separate market.

Sorry to say but after so many years people should get NES, arcade version & trip world released for gameboy in one package (related to gimmick in a way).

But we all know it is all about money.

We're working with SUNSOFT and City Connection and they don't have the rights to the arcade version. Hopefully, exA-Arcadia will release it someday outside of the arcade.

the reason to buy it is to support the game FINALLY having an official release outside of Japan and Scandinavia. This is a good thing. Plus, it's always good to have the original readily available.

I hope you can put Exact Mix on Steam someday.

Will the arcade remake be released here?

I thought this would include it when I saw it mentioned and quickly went here to get it, but no, it's just the NES game with some minor extras added.

Sunsoft doesn't have the rights to the arcade version. Hopefully that one gets a home release at some point.

Wouldn't hold your breathe. Exa probably will never port their games to sell outside arcades. Would defeat their entire business model.

lets all make a group effort and buy an ex-arcadia then dump the game :)

They're selling to the general public too, that'd be why their products are available to the general public on their main site.

It's a perfectly understandable argument as to why people don't want to spend literally thousands of dollars to play a single variant of a video game... people can't afford it, won't make their money back, and the value for money ratio is far too different. It actually has nothing to do with arcade exclusives and everything to do with accessibility.

This is why people wanted ports of stuff like Ketsui so badly because from 2003-2009 there wasn't any way to play it without buying a PCB/supergun/cab setup, and even when it was released for 360, it was region-locked to Japanese 360 consoles.

Wanting things to be more accessible is never a bad thing, even if the target demographics are different. It's not a completely different game, it's a spin on existing content.

If you own a business, Exa might be a good choice for entertainment. I hope you realize that business owners are part of the general public, this isn’t North Korea.
