A first look at Rainbow Islands Evolution

After having learned that developer Rising Star has a Rainbow Islands Evolution in the works, we immediately wished they’d share with us details or any information about the game. Call us old, sentimental fools, or whatever, but this Taito classic owns a special place in our hearts and we are very much looking forward to it. To our surprise, like a mana dropped from heaven, today we came across the game’s first images.

Compared to the last time we saw it, Rainbow Islands Evolution looks evolved indeed in these screenshots, with the game moving to a 2D-3D like environment. Although, we wonder if this is a good move for Rising Star. During its hay day, the arcade game gained popularity with sprites and many actually prefer it that way. Anyway, that’s just us and at any rate, we are still very excited about this title. For the mean time, we’ll just have to content ourselves with these screenshots.

More screens after the jump!
