VGChartz's Evan Norris: "If you haven't played Rainbow Cotton before, you're not alone. A Dreamcast exclusive released only in Japan, it's not exactly a household name. Looking to change that, and bring the sixth-gen game back into the spotlight, is German studio KRITZELKRATZ 3000, which — with the backing of publisher ININ and original developer SUCCESS — has remade the 3D shoot-'em-up from the ground up. Featuring several modern quality-of-life upgrades, plus HD graphics and a brand new local co-op mode, it promises to merge the past and present when it launches digitally on consoles and PC on May 9.
Ahead of the game's release, I chatted with Andreas Scholl, technical director at KRITZELKRATZ 3000 and lead programmer for Rainbow Cotton, about what fans can expect from the remake."
"Calling all Cotton-fanatics and gaming terminology sticklers! ININ brings you a short guide to retro gaming terminology in anticipation of the upcoming release of the HD Remake of "Rainbow Cotton", available digitally on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X, and PC Steam on May 9th 2024!" - ININ .
I really liked this game on Dreamcast, but it was challenging to play due to the poor camera. Hopefully this is fixed for the remake
