From Skip (Chibi-Robo), published by Nintendo, for the Wii.

So... weird... and what in the world is the gameplay?

Oh, and I'm giving this somewhere around a zero percent chance of coming to the US, I'll bet. 0.01%, maybe?

I think you posted pretty much the same video twice.

That Birdo TERRIFIES me. Did they hire some Japanese mental patient for that voice? It's insane!

Captain Rainbow and the Multi-Culture Pals!

Looks pretty weird. I wish they'd bring Tingle's game to the US. If that hasn't arrived yet, this might not either.

Oops... fixed the second video. There are actually two videos; the second one introduces Little Mac's new look... :D

Quote:That Birdo TERRIFIES me. Did they hire some Japanese mental patient for that voice? It's insane!

The original Mario 2 manual was accurate... Birdo is a (male-to-female) transsexual.

At least that had an English-language, importable European release... but that wouldn't help much with the region-locked Wii. So yeah, virtually no chance. Is that good or bad? I have no idea, these videos don't say anything about what the actual gameplay is... just that it's completely weird.

Little Mac really let himself go.

I get the impression that this is some land of *waves hands* imagination!

Royal Rainbow!

Yeah, this game is gonna be awesome.

What, just because of the developer? You can't tell anything about the actual gameplay from those videos, that's for sure!

Sure we can! We know that Captain Rainbow can walk, and stand still, and apparently he can use his body as a key for certain doors.

Also, random Nintendo characters who have gone all disturbing say things on TV.

Actually I get the impression there won't really be much combat and Captain Rainbow is probably going to just be doing odd jobs around the island. I get that impression from the fact that Chibi Robo played that way and the total lack of any combat in those videos.

I haven't played Chibi-Robo, so I can't use that as a base... but all we've seen seems to be "wander around" and "weird characters". What kinds of actual tasks are you doing?

I still have no idea what you actually DO (minigames?), or if this game has a point (no?)...

Huh, we'll see.
