Captain Rainbow the game we have all been begging for. A brand-new Nintendo IP with a superheroes and quirky story and tons of fan service with throw back to Birdo and the rest of the forgotten NES gang. Sounds great doesn't it? One "problem" though, the name. It would seem that people have already decided upon this game just by seeing the name. I was expecting if anything people yelling about the art style but instead I find people condemning it for it's name . Let me just paraphrase some of the responses I've seen thus far.

I couldn't buy this game and look at my friends

My friends would joke on me to no end if I bought it

Way to go Nintendo, Just what we needed a gay character

This just proves that 40% of Niintendo teams are gay

A cheesy Bi hero

JUST STOP. What the hell is wrong with these people. Why must we bash the game without even seeing it for more than a couple second of gameplay. At least two of the responses were from before the trailer was even released. If I recall correctly, Rainbow usually represent peace, calm after a storm, new beginning. In the past couple decades did rainbows started being used on LGBT flags and even then..........SO WHAT?! I honestly don't understand this hate you're identifying the damn color spectrum as a expression of sexuality. So please before you go and hate on this unique game and clam that it will hurt your "image" if are to purchase it. Stop and think do we really need create a pregidous against the reflection of light?

(Note: most of the responses were not found on dtoid, thank God)

I'm not completely convinced of the game either I just hate people are bashing it before we have even seen it.
I figured this was going to happen, and it sucks.

you know i dont understand it when people compare this game to Vewtiful Joe. So he transforns into a tv superhero, I see no other similarities. I mean Vewtiful Joe was one of my favorite gamesever. That was 2-D and this game looks more like Chibi-Robo mixed with SoulCalibur Legends at best, but Iwill ave to see more before I truely judge
It's a predictable response, but just owning a wii (teehee.. wee) makes you gay so you really have nothing to lose.
I totally agree with you about the homophobic responses. However, I just can't really get interested in this game. Granted, I love Birdo as much as the next guy, probably more, but I can't help but get a little queasy when I read such adulation over something that we know nothing about just because it is quirky and has a bit of "retro" charm. I'll admit that I have little patience for that quasi-sincere "oh this game has a town populated with nintendo characters, it is the best game ever, period" etc... I don't know, maybe my mind will change later.
Hey, I may have put references to Birdo and Captain Rainbow together and raised my eyebrow, but that doesn't mean I'm going to slag of the game because of it.

I really hope it does well.
