Captain Rainbow is Nintendo’s new Wii game idea. You play as Nick and his superhero alter ego Captain Rainbow, who is a reference to the TV series Masked Rider. The game will also have minigames such as golf, bug catching and fishing throughout. The game’s central island is filled with past minor Nintendo characters like Birdo AKA Katherine (who provides the main commentary), OtsuSan (guy from the NES Golf game), and Hikari (female protagonist in Shin Onigaishima).

Skip (of Chibi-Robo series fame) are the developers behind the game of unknown genre. Expect to find to find this game released in Japan on August 28th, 2008.

Haha! That’s because you associate rainbows with g ay people.

It’s going to be interesting to see if they’ll release this outside of Japan and what it will actually be about.
