1UP dug up some very interesting details explaining what Captain Rainbow is all about. The new IP (that’s intellectual property gamers) from Nintendo is said to be a wacky mix of Animal Crossing and Mario.
Gamers will traverse around Mimin Island (the game’s setting), conversing with the locals, figuring out what ails them, and gathering crystals called kirarin. The other half of the game is enjoyed by spending 20 of your kirarin to unlock a side-scrolling action event. The point of each action sequence is to collect a star that will help a single resident in achieving their dreams.
Interesting to say the least; let’s just keep our fingers crossed on this one. Taste the rainbow.
