Dreamcast Shooter ‘Rainbow Cotton’ Is Getting A Remake On Switch
Launching in May
The classic Dreamcast shooter Rainbow Cotton is getting a full remake on the Nintendo Switch, and it’s launching soon on 9th May, 2024.
Boasting revamped visuals, improved game mechanics, and a new 2-player local multiplayer mode, the remake is said to be a faithful recreation of the original while bringing it in line with modern standards. To demonstrate this, ININ has released a debut trailer to make sure you’re clued up on the definitions of emulation, remaster, and remake. It’s always nice to get a reminder, eh?
It certainly looks the part, and given that the original was pretty difficult to get hold of at the best of times, it’s nice that Switch players can finally give it a whirl and see what it’s all about.
Here’s a peek at the key features:
– Bring on the Nostalgia: The Retro Mode allows you to experience the charm of the original Dreamcast versionā as authentic as it can possibly be!
– Enhanced Gaming Experience: Revamped snap-back, lock-on targeting, controller rumble & speaker support, and more for a more luxurious gaming experience.
– Cottonās New Look: Immerse yourself in the magic of the upgraded, stunning visuals!
– Dedicated Little Sibling Mode: Play as Cotton and Silk together with your Player 2 in this newly added local co-op mode!
– Team Sub or Team Dub?!: The fully animated cutscenes return in their original Japanese dubbing with translated English, French, Spanish, Italian, and German subtitles for your viewing pleasure!
