For those who don't want to "CLICK DA LINK!", Captain Rainbow is an upcoming Wii game developed by the people who made Chibi Robo. Apparently, you're a regular geek/superhero/TV star. So yeah, pretty standard main character there. Anyhow, you have to go around making other people's dreams come true, because your TV show is failing, or something like that I think... The characters you help are from random Nintendo games, one of them being Birdo from the Mario series.

Nintendo, please do everyone a favour and jump off a bridge... NOW.

EDIT: And yeah, I forgot that I could have just posted this in the E3 topic... Ah well, no harm done, we can discuss Nintendo's E3 lineup here or something. If they're even worth discussing...

Hmm I was expecting something more epic perhaps, but hey, might as well see what these games will be like later in year/s xD

Captain Rainbow, ladies and gentlemen. Captain Rainbow.

Well, hey, you never know. All franchises have to start somewhere, no?

I can see this title being aimed once again at casual gamers, though. But I guess we shouldn't make any assumptions until E3.

Oh, come on guys, this title looks like a real hard-hitter. :)

I'd pay a hundred bucks for this work of art. I mean, come one. It's got rainbows, man!

The name will probably be changed when it's localized, but it's still gay as ****...worse than Tingle.

Doesn't mean that this is Nintendo's "big title" at E3...this is probably something made while they were stoned.

I paid $230 for one.

And let's not have Fallout 3 syndrome and go crazy on it. Wait until we get a damn look at the gameplay before we go ape**** on it.

I just saw the trailer. I take back my previous statements, this game looks amazing!

Ok, that was a bad joke, I'm sorry, I'll never do it again. The game looks terrible.

Seriously, it would seem Nintendo loves being the laughing stock of the video game world.

Or maybe they leak this game to get everybody thinking that's all they're gonna show, then they surprise us all by showing a whole bunch of totally badass games.

Captain rainbow?

Why not lieutenant? Nintendo already had a captain.

Major? Corporal?

lol, SS.

And Aqua, I agree with Zeyph, obviously Nintendo is going to have other (more worthy) titles at E3. Why this one gets leaked early, though, I have no idea.

Kind of made me laugh. I wonder if this game will make it to America though, seems more like Japanese humor, Americans might not get it.

Are they genuinely serious about this?

It probably won't localize. I'm sure they Japanese audience will like this game (since they like Tingle), but the US and EU won't like this game.

The environment doesn't look half bad. Infact, I wouldn't mind seeing something similar on a DS game. But the characters look like crap, and the gameplay looks incredibly bland.

Sorry Laharl, but Wii Sports is more fun than that.

This game will probably be fun, most likely not coming to the states though, what with the rainbow-inspired theme. XD
