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

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.

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

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.

[Dark Jaguar]

Little Mac really let himself go.

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

Royal Rainbow!

[Great Rumbler]

Yeah, this game is gonna be awesome.

[A Black Falcon]

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

[Dark Jaguar]

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.

[A Black Falcon]

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?)...
