A Winner is GiFTPiA

SKIP TO MY CUBE MY DARLING

Kirameki’s next (or second, concurrent) translation effort is the sublime, Skip-powered, GiFTPiA:

Personally, I was pulling for Goemon DS, but I’m certainly not looking a (cough) gift horse in the mouth with this one:

Captain Rainbow Gets Anglicized

The game is, err, fabulous, even in Japanese

I find it odd that nobody’s really mentioned this anywhere outside of the translator’s site¹, but to spur interest and harangues to make them work faster, I thought I’d mention that Kirameki is working on a Captain Rainbow translation (in English and Italian) so a lot more people can take advantage of partake of make the acquaintance of ambiguously-sexed Birdo:

A mix between Captain Falcon, Yatterman and hallucinatory mushroom’s effects, it’s him, the fabulous Captain Rainbow!

Obviously from the ingenious minds of Skip, the creators of funny dream games like Chibi Robo and Giftpia, stuff for true cognoscenti.

Like in every other game by Skip, the main topic is others’ happiness. The main character is able to transform into a superhero by means of a special belt, but being outdated makes him sail for a mythical isle where dreams come true. In the beginning his only purpose is to regain his old fame, but with the time passing and getting acquainted with the isle’s inhabitants, he will forget his regrets and will realize that the only important thing to be a great hero is not the fame, but helping others with a pure heart.

This all sounds super, if a bit off in the distance, so start harassing Kirameki to make it rain so we can, err, frolic in the rainbow-goodness.

(Also be aware: this will be a real-time patch so you will need a hacked Wii and a copy of the original game to play it when it is done.)

(Also 2: vote for Ganbare Goemon in the poll, damn you!)
