You read that right. Captain Rainbow was announced two days ago, and there's even a trailer for it, but who is he exactly? Here's the game's premise, courtesy of Destructoid:

[...] listen to this amazing description of the story: Captain Rainbow is the star of a struggling television show who possesses a wide variety of fighting moves and uses a magic yo-yo to finish off his enemies. His alter ego, Nick, is a nerd who loves wearing flower-themed clothing. Since his show is on the brink of cancellation, Nick travels to Mimin Island, a place where all your wishes can come true. It is on this mystical island where Nick and, in turn, Captain Rainbow’s grand adventure takes place. 

All right, but this game has yet to set itself apart, you may think. Here's the hook of this game: Mimin Island is inhabited by second- and third-tier Nintendo characters, such as Birdo (who introduces the game in the trailer), and they need help. Thankfully, Captain Rainbow is here to save the day!

Wierd, isn't it? I think that's what makes this game so interesting.
