Meo Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This certainly looks... awkward. I see the quirky style they're trying to go for, but I'm with Shino on this one. Happy to see Nintendo supporting and publishing these kind of games... But, but... Where is my F-Zero WX, Nintendo?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazzeL Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 And Castlevania game #120 and Tales 2D are in Mario Galaxy's leage now? and the other is a 14 year old port. And who says... Fatal Frame 4 is not a Silent Hill killer (in fact, Fatal Frame 2 is arguably better than any SH, let alone the upcoming SH5) and Arc Rise Fantasia is not one hell of a RPG? And if we're going by AAA quality, and not AAA sales performance... what if I tell you that, for me Chibi Robo is just as magical and good as Mario Galaxy? (that, relating to Captain Rainbow) Let alone Fragile, Rune Factory Wii, Wario Land and King's Story, that look absolutely awesome already (and Megaman is pure fanservice for the hardcore) That leads us to... why are we even bitching? Let's just not bitch then eh :E You're right about the AAA ambiguities. That's why I never said Chrono Trigger or Tales was AAA, I just said they're probably the biggest announcements. The point was that none of those titles are Mario Galaxys. It's all why, in my original post, I said "AAA announcements" - the sort of things that generate hype before anyone knows if the games are any good. It was carefully worded intentionally!!! :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more hyped for Wii ones (this said I'm a home console guy) If, we were including the whole DS RPG list, though... I've got to say I'm floored. This said, I'm a RPG guy too.

Dante Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 New Info? Nick loves ‘loud’ clothing Captain Rainbow uses a yo-yo in his finishing move Captain Rainbow is a TV show mascot, and kids aren’t tuning into the program. Nick travels to Mimin Island, a place where dreams are said to come true Instead of Nick’s dreams being granted, Captain Rainbow must grant the wishes of other island inhabitants Search the island for people to help The island is filled with classic Nintendo characters in-need of help (Birdo, NES Golf character, and many more) Nick is helped by Hikari, from the Japan-only adventure game Shin Onigashima Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Day Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up a Japan exclusive with Randomness like that! I was going to say the sam thing, then I remembered we did get the likes of Tingle's DS adventure hitting PAL territory, and from what I played that was pretty random. But then again, this is the Wii and it is a different kind of randomness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellyn Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Captain Rainbow is a new Nintendo IP developed by Skip Ltd., the creators of Chibi-Robo! and Giftpia. You assume the role of Nick, a seemingly ordinary guy who has the ability to transform into the titular yo-yo wielding Captain Rainbow. With stylised comic book-esque graphics and an island full of past minor Nintendo characters (including the transvestite Birdo), Captain Rainbow may well be one of the surprise hits at E3.

Guest Maase Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Here's the translated version (IT SAYS "SUMMER" on the release date ) Edit: Click two times on the Window to be taken to the real video, there it's translated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think this game would do alot better if it didn't have rainbow in its name, but it looks pretty good, so I'll buy it. Surprised to see swearing in a not-so-mature looking Nintendo game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think this game would do alot better if it didn't have rainbow in its name, but it looks pretty good, so I'll buy it. Surprised to see swearing in a not-so-mature looking Nintendo game. I don't think they're very worried about sales :P Not so mature? I think this, like Tingle is actually pretty "mature". It's a satire, it's not afraid to take itself lightly and to have this, well, homo tone and everyone knows if a kid looks at this they'll say it's crap. Mature doesn't have to mean serious or violent, at least not to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maase Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Bah... your missing the whole point... "2008 SUMMER!!!" FREAKING 2008 SUMMER ^^ We will receive it something like 4 months later, wich means that we may even get it this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Well this looks..... GREAT! It's a new IP something we havn't seen from Nintendo for a while! We have to just hope we will see it here, because isn't it made by Skip? There last great game was Giftpia which never made here as far as I know.

MoogleViper Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 That voice is so irritating. I hope the english one is much better. I don't think they're very worried about sales :PNot so mature?

Mature doesn't have to mean serious or violent, at least not to me. I agree. It doesn't just happen with games though. People think that maturity is acting serious and trying to be older.

Nah their last game was Chibi-Robo: Park Patrol on the DS, which probably won't be released in Europe and was only released in WalMart in America. I hold hope for this coming to Europe...

Shino Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Never ended Tingle, but it wasn't as out of the closet as this one. It had a "weird" design but the gameplay and the actual story was more about capitalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maase Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 This is actually a pretty funny satire... It seems that everyone in this Island will have obscure problems, some where thrown to a Jail, others have Drinking Problems, etc. I can't wait for this one... Im curious about the age rating, tough.

Deathborn Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Like other people here, I find this game have a Tingle feel... which can't be a bad thing since I absolutely loved "Tingle game with awfully long title". Cross fingers for a European release. Talking about that I would love a Tingle sequel (with Tingle gaining a small ruined mansion from a dead relative and turning it into a huge hotel) but I don't think it's likely to happen...

Emasher Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I wonder if Nintendo is trying to make fun of the whole "leave Brittany alone" thing with Birdo. It just reminds me of that. Both are even transvestites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
