Remember Captain Rainbow? We saw that trailer of him in action a little while ago, but we haven’t heard from him in a little while. Up until now that is. 1UP dug up some interesting tidbits explaining what the game is all about. Turns out, Captain Rainbow can be compared to a wacky mix of Animal Crossing and Mario.

Gamers at one point in the game will travel 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.

Sounds interesting, but will it make it ever make it to the new world and other parts of the old? Stay tuned to find out more!
