Video Game News

It seemed like I was posting a lot of video game related stories awhile back and then it kind of fell off.  Now it seems like all I ever post about is sandwiches.  :)

Today I was snooping around the internet trying to see if the Nintendo Wii had any games to justify it's purchase price.  It turns out they really don't have many but I did find this game.


That is the box art for the Japanese Wii game called "Captain Rainbow."  Apparently the game follows Nick, Captain Rainbow's alter-ego, who's isn't quite as famous as he once was so he goes off on an adventure hoping to become popular again.  That, however, isn't the amazing part.  

Take a second look at the cover art for this game.  In fact do yourself a favor and click on it to see it full size too.  Did anyone else find the penis shaped speech bubble under the game's logo a bit much?  I'm no marketing genius but if you must have a speech bubble on your "Captain Rainbow" game cover that reads "Please Turn Over," it's probably best not to have one shaped like a penis.

UPDATE:  In Japanese it reads, "This is not a cool hero game!"  Next to that it says, "Calmly read in detail the explanation on the back!"
