New Nintendo Title - Captain Rainbow
Written by admin on July 11th, 2008 in gadgets.
There is a lot to say about this newly-discovered embedded video from WiiFolder. Supposedly, it is an ad for a new Nintendo title titled Captain Rainbow. From the name, you may have gathered that the titular character is a superhero who wears A LOT of rainbows. According to 1UP (who somehow is the only site with any info on this game), the story is pretty crazy.
The Captain Rainbow of the title is the alter ego of Nick, a typical geeky guy with a penchant for loud, flower-themed clothing. As the eponymous captain, he’s a super-studly hero with a bunch of crazy fighting moves and a magic yo-yo to finish the bad guys off with, but his popularity with the kids just isn’t there — in fact, the ratings for his TV show are just about in the dumps. So Nick takes a trip to Mimin Island, a fabled land where it’s said your wishes can come true — but thanks to an unexpected turn of events, it’s actually Captain Rainbow who has to help out all the island’s inhabitants with their own wishes.
Well, all right. This island of Mimin is inhabited by Nintendo characters like Birdo, so expect more than a few familiar faces to pop up. The gameplay actually looks pretty cool. It’s being called a 2.5d fighter, with some side-scrolling action mixed in. Really, I should just stop trying to describe this video. You’ll be much happier simply watching it.
