Captain Rainbow Unveiled with Debut Trailer

09.07.2008

Japanese Gaming Magazine Famitsu has shed light on one of Nintendo's newest and strangest projects, Captain Rainbow.

Back in February of this year, Nintendo patented Captain Rainbow, and through the latest Famitsu issue, we get to see what it's all about.

Developed by Skip, who also created the cult hit Chibi-Robo for the Gamecube, and to be published by Nintendo, Captain Rainbow has a distinctive Japanese flavor, and sees the main hero, named Nick, fighting off bad guys.

A rather...unique trailer of the game in action is below, accompanied by a character many will find familiar.

Could this be the new i.p Nintendo mentioned? Have your say on this oddity below.

Interesting I can't wait to see how this will all work together. But I wonder is the concept of having characters that only 'hardcore' Nintendo fans recognise is way of trying to please Hardcore Nintendo fans ergo hardcore characters = hardcore game. I wonder how Nintendo will attract casual gamers with this game.
