|''While it's hardly the deepest experience on the Wii, Captain Rainbow is one of the most bizarre games Nintendo has published in ages. From the game’s wacky graphics to the unique gameplay, Captain Rainbow has plenty going for it. The language barrier presents something of an issue, and it's worth bearing in mind that the game hasn’t been confirmed for a release outside of Japan, and may never be localized because of some of the content. Most of the game’s characters are of Japanese origin and have never seen the light of day in North America, which obviously causes some problems. However, Nintendo has taken a chance on quirky games before, so we can always hope for a worldwide release. In the meantime, if you're lucky enough to own a Japanese Wii then you should certainly try this out.'' | |||

|''While there were some very funny moments to be found in Captain Rainbow, they are ultimately overshadowed by the sheer amount of mindless boredom that permeates the rest of the game. The gameplay is uninspired, the mini-games flawed, and the constant waiting unbearable. There is a reason Captain Rainbow was a commercial and critical failure here in Japan: It's a boring, monotonous game.'' | |||

|''The sole fact that it's full of long lost or forgotten Nintendo characters, all in goofy roles and humorous situations should be enough to tease any long time Nintendo fan, especially if you played Nintendo games in the mid 80's to mid 90's, or like to play games from those eras. Unfortunately it's necessary to understand Japanese at least a little bit to really appreciate the story, humour, and most of all to understand what you have to do in the game. Luckily walkthroughs exist on the Internet to help you know what to do if you're stuck, and a fan group has taken on the task of translating the game in English and Italian, providing gamers a patch to be used with an original copy of the game when work on it is done. If you're up for an uncommon gaming experience, Captain Rainbow is sure to deliver this and leave you with a good feeling after playing it.'' | |||
