Captain Rainbow website

Probably the only Wii title I am anticipating, Captain Rainbow comes from the team behind Chibi-Robo!; skip. Sure the game may not be graphically impressive, but it has plenty of style, and pays homage to classic Famicom characters.

The website just launched, and if you can read Japanese, the text may have something for you as well. If you cant, there's still plenty to see and watch.

Captain Rainbow

This is a day or so old, but I felt it was in need of a post. Captain Rainbow is a new Nintendo title (What's that, Sakurai?!) from the makers of Chibi-Robo! (Skip Ltd.), and yes, that's a very good thing. And you can tell it's from them; the calm, but very Japanese style, the Nintendo references, heck the main character and Chibi even run the same! Anyways, the way the title works (from what I know) is a young man, Nick, is washed up onto a shore, and he obtains the power's of his favorite TV superhero, Captain Rainbow, who's main weapon is a yo-yo.


As you can probably see, the game is very Japanese, and might even require a lot of localization. But I really hope this is part of Nintendo's E3 show. It's a great alternative to mini-game shovelware, and it's a new franchise for Gunpei's sake!! Sure it may be a little "out there" what with all the rainbows, but you did let Ninjabread Man ship on your hardware, Nintendo...
