No not a young Ness, but a Older Ness. Any ways who do you think will do Tracey's problem?

An older Ness would be interesting. As for Tracy's problem, there's only one logical answer.

Chunky Kong

If he's in, I would consider getting this game regardless if it has a wierd name or not.

All right, first of all, you're all wrong--"Tracy" is clearly Crazy Tracy from Link's Awakening. The whole "sexpot" attitude fits, and if that's not enough, there's her sprite:

Is Nick going to playable? Or is captain rainbow only?

It's both. In the debut trailer for the game, there are clips of Captain Rainbow fighting some enemies with his yo-yo. And obviously Nick's playable: almost every trailer released so far has cut of him walking around the island.

So basically, you play as Nick while helping these forgotten characters with their problems, and transform into Captain Rainbow to fight enemies.

Possibly but she has black hair and not blonde hair. But than again, every character we know about has changed in some way so maybe Nintendo dyed her hair.

True, but I think the crossed legs, the giant bow, and the wavy hair basically set it in stone. And yeah, every other character so far appears as a "future self" (i.e. Little Mac got fat over the years, stuff like that), so it wouldn't be too much of a logical leap to assume that Tracy dyed her hair or something.

If it turns out to not be Crazy Tracy, I'll punch myself in the face.

Same with Ness's sister except she went through puberty. If it is Crazy Tracy, than okay.

I just hope it'll turn out like Viewtiful Joe:a big hit(with lots of humor in it)!

Alright, so a recent Famitsu issue tells a bit more about what this thing will actually play like.

Nintendo Wii Fanboy said:
Captain Rainbow is divided between adventure and action segments. In the adventure mode, you, as Nick/Captain Rainbow, communicate with the residents of Mimin Island, helping with their problems and playing minigames. You earn crystals called kirarin during these interactions -- 20 of which unlock an action scene. In the action mode, Captain Rainbow runs through side-scrolling levels in an effort to grab a falling star, which is used to grant the wish of one of the island's residents (say, a wish not to be so fat), while avoiding enemies called Shadows.

My frothing demand for this game increases...

And some soldiers from Famicom Wars are apparently the next residents to be shown off.

EDIT - Also, uh...I didn't notice I was double posting.

Doesn't matter about the double post. If your second post was a day after your previous on the same thread, you don't get an infraction.

Also, the soldiers are alright but I want Chunky.

Huh?

I don't think it'll warrant all that much said, it just looks like a game with a lot of personality and I can't pass that up. I've imported many times before, but it's becoming less and less needed since most gets localized anyways but this looks pretty Japanese.

I mean, I hope it has a chance to be localized certainly, god knows the Wii needs it everywhere, but I can't wait for that.

Birdo was famously characterized as a cross-dresser in the manual for Super Mario Bros. 2, but seems to have been made female in her appearances in the Mario sports games. According to Chris Kohler, who is currently playing through the Japanese version of Captain Rainbow, the character's gender dysphoria is back, and being discussed in-game for the first time.

It turns out that Birdo has been in jail on Mimin Island for using a women's restroom. She asks Captain Rainbow to find proof that she's a female so she can get out of jail, and he does -- buzzing, under her pillow. When he picks it up, it is censored.

Maybe Nintendo will rewrite this bit so it's about sandwiches. Then it could be released outside Japan.

The weirdest thing about Birdo's gender is that the thing seems to be gender-free except for the bow. So, then, does it mentally identify as a man identifying as a woman? And let's ignore the egg-laying issue entirely.

I can't decide whether to laugh, cry, or *facepalm*.

Metroid Prime 3 and the Wii aren't kiddy, but they sure are a certain rhyming word...ZING!

This game is a fresh new start, so hopefully they won't **** it up like they did to their newest games in old series.

I'll probably come off as a graphic wh***, but doesn't this game look rather bad graphically, even for a wii game? Either way I just might pick it up, kind of reminds of Conker's bad fur day, only that birdo tidbit is actually way creepier than anything in that game.

I agree with you on the graphics. It reminds me of N64 graphics except slighty better.

I'm actually a big fan of the graphics. I get really, really tired of seeing nothing but hyper-realism or the generic anime look in 99% of videogames, and this sort of Super-Deformed, really cartoonish look just tickles my fancy.
