I didn't say it was a bad thing, but some of the concepts behind the game is borrowed from KH. But instead of loading it full of Disney Characters, stuff it full of Nintendo Characters.

Well it said that it focuses more on seconday nintendo Characters like Birdo. Kingdom hearts Focuses alot on Major Disney Characters and FFVII and FVIII characters

Oh, I see, well, I never actually played kingdom Hearts, (never owned a PlayStation) but going by trailer, word of mouth, and screen shots, it seemed so, similar.

Lolz, it better have Geno.

To be honest, when I first heard about it, I wasn't interested in the slightes... So Birdo was in it, big deal.

Then I heard Takamaru would be in it, then I immediatelly dug up more information about it.

It looks like a cool game! I have a bad feeling it might not be released in America, though. :(

One more thing:

Captain Rainbow = Next SSB newcomer!

Along with Takamaru, of course.

BUMP, for epic old-school justice!

Article about Captain Rainbow:

http://gonintendo.com/?p=50671

According to this article, the characters in this game are going to be Nintendo characters that didn't quite make it to stardom... Meaning there are characters that aren't that famous today, like Takamaru and Little Mac.

...Oh yeah, this is old school fanservice like you've never seen! Here's hoping for Sukapon! :chuckle:

As awesome as seeing Takamura and Little Mac in this uame may be, I won't get it unless the name changes.

Seeing that most of the characters are from older games and aren't as well known, I'm calling Ninten to be in this game.

This is nothing short of a dream come true. They have Little Mac AND Takamaru in the same game?! It's funny, because Punch-out!! and Murasame Castle are probably my two most wanted revived series.

This is my biggest fear concerning ol' Captain Rainbow: it won't see a state-side release because...well, the name seems pretty HOMOEROTIC to most people over here.

I mean, North America hates Tingle enough (ostensibly for being more than a little fruity) to effectively bar his DS game from making it over here...so how much hope is there for a character who actually has the symbol for gay pride in his name? Couple that with the fact that the developer (Skip) is the same company that made the Chibi-Robo games, which were played collectively by about -137 American citizens, and suddenly thing seem quite grim for the Captain...

Oh well. I'll just have to import it from Europe in th--O SNAP Nintendo breaks FreeLoaders with their ****ed system updates. Crapcrapcrap...am I going to have to finally give in and buy a Japanese Wii for this? :urg:

So far, NES-only characters are being confirmed. I really hope the NES generation isn't the only one they use to revive forgotten characters. There's even forgotten characters from well know franchises (Kiddy Kong, Chunky Kong, Kine, Rick, Coo, Stanley, Ninten, Bobo, Ball Bunny, etc)

This is rather pathetic.
I can't believe someone came up with the name Captain Rainbow and actually thinks it's going to sell.
If anything, it's going to be for tons of laughs.
And I'm worried that we won't even get that.

At least Captain Falcon doesn't sound ******** (No offense to those who are).
I mean.....he's a Falcon wannabe!
He looks like a long-lost cousin of CF.......and he was long-lost for a reason.

Who is Tracy? o_O

Wtf is with Takamaru's nosebleeding! LOL

I honestly could care less about the name. I'm really surprised some of you people are this worked up about it.

If it comes out in the US, I'm buying it. I really hope I don't have to import, I wanna see this hit the states. ;~;

Why do people think Rainbow is gay?

Seriously....

Rainbow is like a symbol of cheer. Captain Rainbow cheers up depressed Nintendo Characters..

Beside his real identity(nick was it?) looks like a Otaku

I think I know why Takamura is nosebleeding.
Get prepared for some wierd stuff and just remember this is what I think. It could be wrong so don't flame me.

In the video when he gets his first nosebleed, Tracy says he gets "excited" too easily. In some old japanese(not the english version) DBZ episode my cousin showed me, Master Roshi (or whatever his name is) would get nosebleeds when he saw attractive girls and he would go into some pervert mode. I than learned that in Japanese anime, sometimes a guy noses would bleed when he got "excited".

So Takamura's nosebleeding is most likely something that would be in the japanese version of the game. If it comes over to the states, I'm guessing the nosebleed and getting "excited" would be changed although I don't know what it would be O_o.

None of your business
Maybe whenever the nintendo staff in Japan chose the name they overlooked what rainbows are used to represent by some people in America, i dunno if the same people use rainbows in Japan, but anyway, if they bring this to America, maybe they might change the name, cause Captain Rainbow sounds wheird no matter how you put it...maybe Captain Spectrum or Captain Smoothie!

I don't think this is gonna be a Kids game...

Nosebleeds in Japan=Nintendo's old job
The main character looks like a Otaku.
Birdo swears.
So I was right about the nosebleeds. Also if Tracy is Ness's little sister, than she really grew up if you know what I mean.

An Earthbound character? No way this game is coming to America.

I kid, but I hope this game is sucessful enough that Nintendo will bring it to America.

I'm guessing both but that's what I think.

Also I realized that there's a pattern with the person who puts the videos on youtube. When a character is talking about another character's problem, the next video that person posts will have the new character having a problem.

For example, when we learned of Little Mac, he was talking about Birdo. We than learned of Takamura who was talking about Little Mac in the next video. Next video, Tracy talked about Takamura. So the next video should be a newly learned character talking about Tracy.

Maybe that will help us who Tracy really is. (I'm guessing Ness's little sister.)
