Awesome. Although I would wish that they would not use gibberish for human characters, just my personal opinion.

Hmm... This is starting to look much more interesting.  I also want to know what he used for the subscripts and the links.

Gibberish? Shows how little you know of the Japanese language!

Little Mac ain't so little anymore...

Finally some confirmation that Birdo is still a dude in drag.

[Prompted by another thread but I felt that it was more relevant in the games thread.]

I think Captain Rainbow is an odd mix of Viewtiful Joe (Changing TV Personality), Kingdom of Hearts(Nintendo Characters in a Non-Nintendo Wordl), and Animal Crossing(Running around helping people).  I'm truly not sure who this fully appeals to.  Parts of it definitely appeals to me but, other parts counteract that.  Plus I'm not to keen on the chosen art style.  Just not big on the proportions there using more then anything else.  I reserve true judgment till I can get my hands on this game.  It has the potentially to be truly special and the potential to need to be burned and buried with ET.

This game looks like the SSBB "Apology" or something.

If Geno shows up, that cements it.

Everything about this game reminds me of the excellent Chibi Robo.  I fear that NOA will shun it just like they did Tingle's game, especially after seeing references to Birdo's origin and a Japan-only character like Takamaru.

Did they say something about Birdo being a guy... If so thats an American thing.

You have that backwards.  Birdo has always been male in Japan, but they usually change that for the U.S. versions.  In the trailers for Captain Rainbow, Birdo has a rather masculine voice, and Little Mac acts surprised and double checks his script after referring to Birdo as a girl, then says that it depends on one's point of view.

See I thought the story went that Birdo in Doki Doki Panic was a girl but when it came stateside NoA didn't think it was right to beat up on a girl so they changed the wording to make Birdo a guy.  Every couple of year I hear a different story on how that is.

Nope, it was mentioned in the original Japanese manual that Birdo was a cross-dresser, and that was obviously changed for the U.S. release...Since then, Birdo was turned back into a girl, but this game is poking fun at her (his) origins...

This game would be a massive yawn for me...if not for the fact that the team behind Chibi Robo is behind it and CR was fucking amazing.

Actually, I've got a new version of the parser written right before BnM disappeared.  I've thought about picking it up again.  Maybe even sitting down and fixing "Fun With Numbers."  Though on my machine there is an odd login bug which didn't help matters.

I had the original manual for the US Super Mario 2 cartridge and it did say that Birdo was guy who thought he was a girl. I was too young at the time to think there was any connotation to that. It was just like Bugs Bunny in a dress.
