I think its safe to assume with the usage of Birdo and the Rainbow symbol, that Nintendo is trying to directly target the GLBT community with this game. Would this be the first console game in History to be directly marketed to that community?

Game looks like it could be pretty rad. Nice to see something new from Nintendo either way.
 
Pal Release Confirmed....US not so much xD
 
This game is in total adherence to the blue ocean philosophy at Nintendo. The GLBT demographic hasn't had many games catered to them at all. So now we have, Hardcore games, Casual games, and Gaymes.

I'm not sure if the Japanese view rainbows in the same way, but damn, if the transsexual birdo and blatantly gay captain rainbow aren't indicators that this game is gay, then color me surprised.
 
I'm not sure there are any words that can accurately convey what I'm feeling now.

That's just insane. I thought Nintendo had lost that incredibly weird side lately, but Christ.

WiiWare?

Heh, and they did throw Nintendo-brand playing cards.
:lol

Nintendo also made Exclamation Warriors but it's only available to Club Nintendo members. :(

Flamboyant =/= Gay, people ;P

So Captain Rainbow use a yoyo to attack enemies? I wonder if the game will make us simulate yoyo movements with the Wiimote?:lol
 
Game looks awesome:lol

Main dude name is Nick. Cameo appearance shown are Katherine(Birdo) and Hikari. It appear that there are mini games like golf, bug catching and fishing.

That Nick dude serious is a reference to Masked Rider, can tell from the rainbow belt that he is wearing:lol

I really dig the style:D
 
So awesome. I'm really hoping that the Wii's success just means Nintendo feeling comfortable releasing whatever the hell they want to.
 
The artstyle reminds me a lot of Viewtiful Joe. Odd video, but the gameplay segments looked cool. Come on guys, it's a new IP from Nintendo. That's something to be happy about.
 
The island that you will be exploring are pack fill with past Nintendo minor characters, so awesome!:lol

The scans also said that the genre of this game is still a mystery:lol
 
Doshin meets Chibi Robo meets Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland?

It's soooooo Skip. And Both Chibi Robos were awesome, so this should be too!

So that really was a screwed-up Birdo, and not just a screwed-up Birdo-esque monstrosity?
 
Watched it, WOW... So manly! :lol

Anyway very interesting project, it reminds me A LOT of Tingle RPG from a visual point of view...

I found it pretty weird that Birdo is there... i mean he/she certainly fits in this kind of enviroment but he/she looks a little different and a bit more *serious*...

AWESOME!!!

I'd love to understand what Birdo says in the movie... J-gaffers translate please!
Just to understand a bit more about the attitude of the game... :D
 
Looks great for the kids which is probably the target demographic and not you know... Bald space marine loving gaffers.:D
