A new IP from Nintendo and Skip Ltd who are the developers of Chibi-Robo & Giftpia (come on Nintendo localise that for Wii already) as well as featuring ex-members of Square who have worked on Chrono Trigger. Will Captain Rainbow be a small hit like those previous skip games or will he be featured on Smash Bros as a fighter one day?

Captain Rainbow tells the story of a hero of the same name and his every day alter-ego Nick. Rainbow is the star of a television show in the land of the free, Mameruka. Thanks to the appearance of some unpopular characters, the ratings for his show have tanked. In order to gain back the shows popularity, Nick decides to head off to Mimin Island. Something happens along the way, however, and Nick learns that he is the only person who can help out the residents of Mimin.

And those residents happen to be forgotten characters from the Nintendo family, including Ossan, the character from the original Famicom Golf and Hikari, from the Japanese game Famicom Mukashibanashi. This unique game promised multiple gameplay features for a unique gaming experience.

Other characters that feature are Little Mac from Punch-Out & Birdo who first appeared on Doki Doki Panic, and then various Mario games. If you didn't play Tingle RPG because you was afraid of catching "the gay" then you are a moron and you'll probably would avoid this game, the rest of us open minded people should be in for a damn good game. Will it come out in the West? Maybe Europe as we got Tingle.

Actually this game is full of win! and Birdo is Female

skip have to be one of the most original dev studios out there now, GiFTPiA was one of the best games on the GC and had such a great soundtrack. Shame hardly anyone knows it. With skip involved Captain Rainbow could end up being a triple A title.

    some of the best selling games on the switch are wii u ports (that are priced way too high

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I think we all forgot breath of the wild released for the wii u tbh

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.
