I'm not sure how to feel about this. The original came at a unique time between console generations. Gimmick! pushed the graphical capabilities of the Famicom and was an early example of physics-based platforming. Masashi Kageyama's soundtrack was among Sunsoft's best. Where do you begin with a sequel?
The teaser trailer linked above rehashes the first level music, which, as iconic and amazing as it is, is a sign of leaning too far into the past. Still, I'll reserve judgement until I've at least seen some gameplay footage.
