Rainbow Cotton heads to Switch Spring 2024

ININ Games has announced a remastered version of the SUCCESS Corporation-developed 3D shmup Rainbow Cotton for Switch, and it’s set for release sometime in Spring 2024. This title has never seen release outside of Japan.

Originally released for SEGA Dreamcast in 2000, Rainbow Cotton is the fifth installment in the Cotton franchise. As a follow-up to Panorama Cotton, Rainbow Cotton is the first true 3D shooter entry in this widely celebrated cute ’em up franchise.

Dive right into this 3D rail shooter as the young witch Cotton, accompanied by her trusty fairy friend named Silk. Lured by the promise of delicious Willow, help Cotton confront the wicked demon Tweed and his legion of followers who have stolen the Legendary Willow from the enchanting land of York Country. Hop on your broomstick and go to town in this wacky adventure!

Rainbow Cotton features exciting gameplay reminiscent of its predecessor, the classic game Panorama Cotton. The game takes you on an arcade-inspired journey through a fantastic world full of surprises and challenges. Every stage in Rainbow Cotton is guarded by a massive boss that will put your skills to the ultimate test. Collect power-ups, build up your flashy projectiles, and hurl them at colorful enemies. Use powerful magic attacks to clear the screen with fireballs and lightning. Only the most courageous (and stubborn!) witches will prevail!

The charming 3D graphics will leave you mesmerized as you travel through, for example, a cozy moonlit town draped in Christmas lights, a mysterious sunken forest, and a magical castle above the clouds.

For the ultimate game collectors and gaming enthusiasts, Strictly Limited Games, in collaboration with ININ and Success, will be releasing exclusive and highly limited physical editions of Rainbow Cotton. Pre-orders will begin on September 21st, and these editions will be available only through Strictly Limited Games, so don’t miss your chance to secure an exclusive physical copy of Rainbow Cotton!
