Captain Rainbow: Birdo's Sex Change Is Finally Canonical!

A few people had a good laugh at Nintendo's new patent in the "Nintendo Core Gamer" thread. Yes, they are indeed launching a new franchise entitled Captain Rainbow for the Wii.

It looks as though it's about a guy washing up on an Island populated by minor Nintendo characters. The guy can evidently transform into a superhero named Captain Rainbow, majestically wielding dual yo-yos.

And it looks like we can congratulate Birdo on her new lifestyle, as she speaks out for the first time. I don't understand what she's saying, but I'm sure she's happy which is the most important thing here.

Not much to say about the gameplay, but it looks like an RPG/brawler type thing. It is also unlikely to see a US release I would imagine.

    Birdo looks fucked up.

    In fact, this entire game looks intensely fucked up.

    Let me tell you about Demon's Souls....
    I’ll tell you what happens in Demon’s Souls when you die. You come back as a ghost with your health capped at half. And when you keep on dying, the alignment of the world turns black and the enemies get harder. That’s right, when you fail in this game, it gets harder. Why? Because fuck you is why.

    It bugs me to no end that Nintendo changed Birdo into a girl. Hell, the SMB 2 manual says "He thinks he's a girl." He's a transvestite, Nintendo. Embrace him!

    It took me a while to figure out what the hell I was looking at. At first I thouht it was a pink woman with some sort of hideously disfiguring tumor growing out of her neck. One that bore some resemblence to a guy's naughty parts. After it clicked in my head and I discovered the witch, it still took effort to not see the tumor/cock. It keeps pulsating.

    A quick translation.

    Hello everyone!
    My name is Katherine.
    Huh?
    You don't know who I am?
    Are you some kind of a recluse?
    Actually, I am going to be in
    an upcoming game.

    Huh? What kind of a game is it?
    Don't get so worked up, I'll explain
    to you what kind of game it is.

    This person who collapsed on the beach is
    the protagonist, Nick.
    As you can tell just by looking, he's an idiot.. BUT
    he has a secret identity as the hero of the Free Nation of Mameru:
    Captain Rainbow.

    He's down on his luck.
    He came here to Mimin island because it is said
    that on this island you can have any wish come true.
    His wish is to once again become a popular hero.

    But, this game is less about heroes and stuff,
    and more about my romantic exploits.
    What's that? You don't want to play that kind of a game?!
    SHUT UP YOU BASTARDS. If you don't like it just shove your
    fingers in your ears and clench your teeth together.

    Next time on Captain Rainbow, "Fierce Love Punch",
    Be sure to tune in!

    Rainbows are kind of in vogue in Japan right now. I have a pretty tough time getting
    people to believe that it's largely seen as a symbol of homosexuality in the west.

    Finally, Nintendo released a game for a much maligned and ignored gamer demographic, the transexuals.

    Birdo in that video talks like gay people do in anime so there's still hope he's just a mixed-up transsexual lizard thing!

    Mario Strikers Wii has birdo as a male.

    Smash Brothers Brawl has a trophy which has a description along the lines of "guy, mostly. Maybe. Fuck, I dunno"

    Birdo in the super mario brothers super show was a girl, so birdo has been female for quite some time.

    This might be interesting, if it wasn't ugly as hell. Those graphics are hideous, so I assume this is a Nintendo developed budget game for Club Nintendo members, or something.

    Skip developed. Looks pretty nice in scans, except for Birdo.

    This game looks hilarious. I'd buy it. But I'm sure we wont be getting it... Unless they changed his name to Captain Murderface and he's black and red. Instead of yoyos they'll give him daggers.

  • cloudeaglecloudeagle Registered User regular
    Naw, Birdo hasn't had a sex change. That's totally a dude doing his/her voice.

    And yeah, considering this looks at least 12% gayer than Tingle's Rose-Colored Rupee Land, there's absolutely no way in hell we're getting this.
