One of the many things that sucked about NoA'a presentation at E3 '08 was the complete and utter lack of
Captain Rainbow footage. In case you missed
Chad's previous
coverage of the game, here's a quick recap. Captain Rainbow is a television super hero who's alter ego is a nerdy looking guy who loves flowered print shirts. He wanders an island populated by washed up Nintendo game characters like a man voiced Birdo and the guy from NES
Golf (who may or may not be Mario) and tries to help them not hate life. Imagine a Smash Bros. "lifestyle" RPG that teeters on "Maximum Risky", and you're half way to understanding
Captain Rainbow (which is farther than most people will ever get).
Hit the jump of a second video of the game, this time depicting Fat Mac chatting it up about the Birdo thing.
Thanks Power-Glove!

Yes of course, make the American fat. Typical.
Oh Nintendo, Sega steals your good ideas and you steal their obscure ones.
Do you hear that Nintendo? Steal Shenmue and we'll call it even for Sonic's Master Sword exploits.
They were trying for the whole "rejected 50's TV" feeling to put it in perspective for newcomers that these Nintendo characters are OLD.
I'll keep my fingers crossed though, if theres anything that will get me to dust off my lil wite paperweight its captain rainbow.
I guess this will be my last post ever. Good Bye everybody.
I'm still grieving Ron's leaving us for the big "K" as well, but just like with 911, you got to start laughing so you can stop crying.
Or maybe the joke just sucked.
He'll be a real super-hero if he does.
