If you want to read some early details about this incredible-sounding Wii exclusive, you can simply scroll down a couple of stories to the original article I just posted a few minutes ago. I didn’t even know a trailer existed until good ol’ Hamza found one hidden away on Wipido. Instead of just popping this trailer into the original story, I figured it was significant enough to warrant its own special place on the front page. After reading about the nostalgia-filled Captain Rainbow, I thought seeing the game in motion would help explain what the heck it is all about. Honestly, though, I am now more confused than ever. Could this be the mysterious new IP that Nintendo has been hinting at revealing at E3? I certainly hope so. Captain Rainbow looks like it could be something pretty special. Although not much is shown, I am really digging the art style. What do you think? Do you like the description better than the footage? Do you think Captain Rainbow has the potential to be a Wii classic based on its inclusion of Birdo alone?

I officially want this game even more now. Birdo's so freaking adorable in this! I will so be right there with you keeping an eye out for this game. I hope this is the new amazing IP.
Definitely needs less color, and more brown.
Also, what a yoshi ripoff, I don't care if its from Nintendo but COME ON.
Just realized it was Birdo, I fail.
hmmm I dunno I love the premise and stuff of course, but the actual gameplay from the video looks like it could be tedious
but then again maybe not
I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I JUST SAW.
BUT I NEED IT.
NOW.
@The Amazing Shenazin,
I kind of had the same first reaction, but I think the footage is so early and limited to really tell. :)
I wish some of the graphics didn't look like they could put an eye out.
jesus, I thought your previous post was an hallucination of some sort, but this second post confirms that I am in dire need of hallucinogens, bad. And dammit I wish so bad that I spoke moonspeak right about now. Can anyone please translate?
thank God I'm not alone
What exactly will we be doing? It doesn't look like fun, but it does look appealing.
I'll have to wait and see more...
I saw this trailer earlier today. It looks so insane that I must own it.
What the hell..........Is this a game or a Japanese reality show. I think I just had a brain fart........No, wait, it shit itself.
I don't even know what happened.
my mind!
I...er...what?
That trailer may have fried my brain.
God damn I hate their embed system.
I like the description better.
I'm not sure what just happened, I'm confused and excited at the same time.
I can't brain today, I have teh dumb.
U R Mr GAY
Am I on drugs?
I'm so glad I bought a wii, I mean really? Who would choose Metal Gear Solid 4 over this? /sarcasm
Whaaaa..?
Yeah, I think I may skip this one. Viewtiful Joe yes, Captain Rainbow...no thanks.
What the fuck did I just watch?
Well you gotta give Nintendo props for knowing how to make a guy sound heterosexual: I want Captain Rainbow!
birdo is a man.
Tingle! I'm sure that bastard will hound you at some point.
I am pretty sure from the footage and description that this has to be a skip game (chibi robo), which would make sense because Nintendo owns skip.
@branflakesinmilk,
It is Skip; I just found out. :)
That birdo looks kind of sketchy, like its been passed around too many times.
Gosh darnit, Chad. Your previous post made me all excited but the trailer looked like shit.
Deformed Birdo? N64 graphics? Boring looking gameplay? Empty island with nothing unique? No thanks.
Also, that looked 3D to me. Not 2.5D as previously reported.
Damn....good thing I stopped my personal hype train before it went and crashed against reality.
Also, I agree with Hamza. Their embeds fucking suck. They have their own scrolling bar, for god's sake. And the stupid thing won't play for me even if it's 100%.
The disappointment filled me with negativity :-@
Why does this remind me of viewtiful joe.... and what the hell is actually going on in that trailer?
woops.
can't we get at least one brand new nintendo game that doesn't jerk itself off?
BUT, after saying that: i'm very intrigued.
This frightens me.
Captain Rainbow confirmed for the next Smash Bros. You heard it here first.
This scared the pants right off me. And then I started masturbating furiously.
@Braulio - Keep in mind we hardly know anything about it yet.
IT LOOKS AMAZING.
I don't even know what to think about rainbows anymore.
Somehow I was under the impression that this was shovelware as all you call it.
If Captain Rainbow is anything like Chibi Robo or GiftPia, it will be classic. I just hope it make sit out of Japan. GiftPia didn't.
Has Birdo always been a Japanese man, and I've just been too arrogant to realize the truth?
All I want to know is does this finally confirm Birdo as a dude?
Captain Rainbow is this generation's game that no one but a few will play and it well be forgotten despite how unimaginably AMAZING it will be.
ALRIGHT EVERYONE, LET US BAND TOGETHER
Email NOA and ask to have this localized. IT MUST.
I am excited, confused, and scared all at the same time.
Not much point in translating what Birdo's saying - basically alternates between describing the basic story of the game, which we already know, and then screaming at you for not appreciating how brilliant the game is going to be. Already on the offensive against lame people who prefer boring ass Metal Gear!
I can't wait... FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT IT!
lame? that didn't even look like Birdo. Captain Rainbow looks awful. If it was done in a unique style I might care, but the game looks like shovelware in this trailer.
