Captain Rainbow - Wii (First look trailer)

LMFAO

"Of course being the young lady that she is, she's quite the coquette."

*Big Mac is handed a paper*

"Eh? Young Lady? Ah...depending on one's viewpoint..."

Man I just don't understand what we're going to be doing in this game exactly. Taking Birdo on walks? Nursing old Nintendo characters in some sim-like way?
 
It's sounding a lot like Chibi Robo, which would make sense as it's the same developer. I still hope we get a Wii Chibi Robo, though. Such a charming game.

This reminds me so much of Tingle DS, it wouldn't surprise me if it was the same team.

You took the words right out of my mouth! Who made Tingle DS again? Ah, Vanpool. Would be funny if they made Captain Rainbow too. :lol

Nintendo could make some disturbing promotion deals:

I don't understand what the hell is going on in these videos :lol

Nah. :) This is from the makers of Chibi Robo.
 
Are those subtitles from youtube? Those are... amazing. Wow.

And it definitely looks like a Skip game through and through (even with the Skip language). Will stay interested, even though it's never coming to America.
 
I don't see any reason why this shouldn't come to America and Europe. It has loads of Nintendo characters in it and it doesn't look something that only Japanese would like. Its very cartoony, as if its made by an American developer actually.
 
Shit, this is coming out this summer? I don't suppose there's a new version of Freeloader that works with the latest Wii firmware, is there? *Kicks self in face for updating Wii*

Since when did Youtube allow translation things like that?

For a while now, I think around a month or two. They are neat and are most suited for translation, unfortunately for some videos I have ads to other sites from the vid author covering most of the video...
 
Seriously, what do we know - as in concrete details - about this game? 'Cause the videos make it look awesome, yet at the same time being completely indecipherable as to what you do in it and how.

It's not.

That said, it would be awesome if this continues and Skip/Vanpool are now the official unofficial home for wacked-out games featuring minor Nintendo characters.

Day one. Maybe it'll be kind of gameplay-light and weird like Giftpia (in which case I'm not as excited) or amazing like Chibi-Robo (in which case, yay) but... day one.
 
XD

This game looks very interesting.

Of course...all that seeing Lil Mac and Takamaru like this, does only to make me wonder WHY Ninty won't bring these guys back into the fold. Especially Takamaru...
 
In the first trailer I think Birdo just had a gender reassignment surgery so you have to nurse her back to full strength? I wonder if the Island is a retreat for Nintendo characters to make drastic changes away from the spotlight.

Edit: So the Island is where dreams comes true, so Birdo goes to get a sex change...I wonder what the other mascots' dreams are...
 
Smiles and Cries said:
oh god I hope Nintendo does not count this as a new IP

Huh, I feel completely the opposite. I hope this is not only a new IP, but evidence that Nintendo (and the companies that closely work with them) still have some creativity left in them.

Localize Captain Rainbow and Fatal Frame 4 right now Nintendo!

Sigh, I can't imagine there's any hope CR will come to NA, though Europe seems like a possibility. If NOA didn't bring Tingle DS to our shores, why would they bring this? Still, fingers crossed...

I wonder...is Lil Mac fat and he came to the island to become skinny, or did he come to get away from the endless training and boxing?

I see maybe Waluigi coming to finally gain some recognition (I mean, even Luigi has his own game now)

I'm wondering which characters will be on the island, perhaps we'll finally see the return of Kid Icarus or Lolo.

I can't imagine Pit, now that he's had his triumphant return through Smash. He's alright now.

Lolo would be nice to see, especially since the most he and Lala have ever done now-a-days are as bit-role bosses/cameos in the Kirby series.

Well, I gotta hand it to Ninty. Bringing back Capt. Syrup in Wario Land Shake (comes out this week in JP, btw! can't wait for my pre-order to come in!), as well as this game, which seems to bring back a whole slew of older characters.

This could be very fun. Like a sort of "Bit Character Crossing". :lol

I'd also like to see Mamu/Wart and Tatanga.

Ya know, with all of the characters alone Nintendo has under it's belt, you'd have expected something creative like this from a while ago... (Cough*Brawl*Cough) This game also makes me wonder why some of these characters and concepts haven't had a "New-Gen Re-Emergence Party" yet. It'd certainly add to the the idea that Ninty wubs their old, die hard fans and gamers.

Back on topic now, this game desperately needs more information to be leaked because as it stands right now, just from the quirky commercial/trailer there's a fuckton of awesome that can come from it all.

Edit - +1 for Mouser, Zoda & Mica (Startropics), & Balloon Fighter if we're taking characters from the past that should be there.

Oh, I'd love that! The forgotten bad guy of the Mario series. Balloon Fighter is great, too. There are so many characters NOJ could include here...
 
I would love this game to have a ton of forgotten Nintendo characters. I would get it so quickly.

If there is a freeloader that works with the latest firmware, sigh

WTF? How did this game make it past the Nintendo seal of quality?
And who's the developer, Crayola?

*sigh*

Watch this game be the back story to a huge wave of classic nintendo revivals.

That would be awesome.

Again, I would love little more than seeing guys like Takamaru, Lil Mac and other obscure characters getting another chance through this game.

oh brother, every single freaking Wii thread-troll, troll, troll. Do you have a problem with unique, quirky games that could be fun.
