Captain Rainbow goes beyond fan service…

…and into the realms of the truly obscure. According to GoNintendo, this rather risque character is one Crazy Tracy, who last made an appearance way back in GameBoy title Link’s Awakening. It certainly fits with the theme of the game - the island Captain Rainbow is one is inhabited by peripheral Nintendo characters, probably the most famous being Birdo. The object is to fulfil their dreams, which in turn will allow them to leave the island.

Helpfully, this vid has subtitles so you can understand what’s going on. Though the finished game may be a little impenetrable, it just looks so gloriously weird that I’ll be importing it as soon as it’s available.

It’s due for release on 28th August, for 6800 yen. Don’t get your hopes up for a western release, though.
