CommunityCaptain Rainbow Unveiled with Debut Trailer
Posted by

Recent News
Japanese Gaming Magazine Famitsu has shed light on one of Nintendo's newest and strangest projects, Captain Rainbow.
Back in February of this year, Nintendo patented Captain Rainbow, and through the latest Famitsu issue, we get to see what it's all about.
Developed by Skip, who also created the cult hit Chibi-Robo for the Gamecube, and to be published by Nintendo, Captain Rainbow has a distinctive Japanese flavor, and sees the main hero, named Nick, fighting off bad guys.
A rather...unique trailer of the game in action is below, accompanied by a character many will find familiar.
Could this be the new i.p Nintendo mentioned? Have your say on this oddity below.

Looks really strange, but at the same time it's good to see a new Nintendo I.P.
I love the style of the visuals, they remind me of Viewtiful Joe's. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to say, it's hard to tell what's really going on in the trailer.
Hopefully it will turn out to be a decent game though.

Rainbow POWER!!!!
I see that Birdo is in it.
Looks like it should be a Wiiware game. But maybe it wont.
I like the graphical style, although it looks like it plays like lost in blue with the camera angle. Just a different type of game.

Doesn't look technically too impressive, but at least, looks stylish ^^. It's the kinda kitsch atmosphere that gives you a good laugh. Makes me think a bit of Viewtiful Joe, but in a different kind of game.
I used to be Umaro in my previous life. Really !!!

I'm still trying to figure that one out. Info is sketchy, but Nintendo filed the Trademark, so I'd point to them.
Plus there is no Capcom Logo in the Trailer.

Non-gamers I can understand, but I thought gays already played games...

I just cracked up, it looks so stupid... I love it. That's what we need Nintendo, some new obscure crap like this. 
Skip seems to be doing a lot of the weird games, like Chibi Robo and Giftpia. Too bad Giftpia never made it outside Japan...Mr. T

Captain Falcon is no longer the campest 'Captain' in gaming. Well done Nintendo

interesting, but looks boring to play in my opinion. I'll have to see more of that game, I can't tell if its gonna be good or not. (birdo's voice scared me!)
EDIT: Also, this looks like a WiiWare title at best.( Edited 09.07.2008 18:29 by edracon )

Looks like it could be fantastic.
Allthough Birdo looks terrible....not high polygon enough for a gamecube game, yet too high to be stylisticaly low.
Either have Birdo more comic, or more real...not this inbetween.
Rest of the style looks great though.Darkflames Favorate Games! - Darkflames Favorate Films! - Darkflames Favorate Foods?!
Dissagree with me?

OMG, Birdo looks creepy.
I like how colourful Rainbow Man is but hate his design. Like Birdo, it's creepy.
