Nintendo News | Tingle Returns To DS

By Mike Mason 09.06.2006 23

A scan has emerged on JeuxFrance about the Tingle RPG on Nintendo DS. Some thought the game had been cancelled, but it has now made a reappearance.

Little is known about the game, aside that you will play as Tingle from the Zelda franchise and its Japanese title can now be roughly translated as "Tingle's Freshly Picked Rosey Rupee Land" (though it is under debate - certain parts of the title are a little ambiguous). You will play as Wind Waker Tingle, where he will start as a 'normal' man until meeting with a character who transforms him into the Tingle form we know and 'love', by making him toss Rupees, the Hyrule currency for those not in the know, into a magical fountain.

From there, Tingle sets off on a quest to make people happy by giving them money. As the name might suggest, money will play a fairly large part in the game, but other than this we're all in the dark until Nintendo chooses to release more information.

You can see the JeuxFrance scan here.

Well, if his origins are disclosed in this here RPG, then perhaps we'll find out why he's such a FREAK!

I kinda hope this a "Harvest Moon tripping out" feel to it.

Could it be the most bizarre Nintendo game ever?

Graphics look very nice, but what is that thing in the bottom right corner of the scan?

It's going to be shit and you jolly well know it.

To be fair, i hate Tingle! I would have loved to drown him and his friends in the WindWaker sea!

"Oh Mr Fairy, what are u doing? Glub Glub....I can't swim or have a hetro-sexual relationship.....*drown*"! Smilie

omg no! why the hell

0-O Tingle got a girl lol with big ones as well ^^; how did he get her lol

Dosn't look that bad, don't really understand all the Tingle hate either 0_o I thought he just a funny queer little man.

It looks alright for a game about, *shudder* Tingle.

But if I had a kid, and he wanted this game, I'd give him a slap and send him on his way with a copy of Resident Evil 4. Smilie

same here. Never hated him, just thought he was a normal person when i first saw him in clock town.

I love Tingle Smilie Smilie Smilie how can you saddos hate Tingle!!! *shakes head* Smilie

I see all these people insulting the Nintendo corporation because of the lack of mature content. Yet there is something about Nintendo (at least their games) that strikes a certain unadulterated feeling of joy!!!  Pokemon Y - 1048-9263-5562

im gona hunt tingle down and burn him at the steak.

This is not normal...

I'm less a Tingle hater and more someone who is seriously creeped out by the small pudgey man who likes fairies. As for a whole game based on him... surely there are stronger characters in the Zelda world to have a spin off featuring them.

Smilie This is off topic but since Tingle is kinda....strange.
This is sorta related.

Watch the video on the top left, it will make you laugh.

I don't think we'll be seeing Tingle outside of Japan, well at least the game.

Could quite possibly be the worst game ever... Or maybe just the wierdest...

I dunno, we're seeing an awful lot of the DS's more eccentric games over here.

Most people said that about Electroplankton, but it's coming out next month, and Tingle RPG looks a lot more normal than Electroplankton

Define normal Smilie

~Getting on C3's massive tits since 2K5.~

I reckon it'll come here, and I reckon it'll be decent as well. Even if it is a bit odd, I can't see it being a candidate for 'worst game ever'. Alpha Dream might be involved from the looks of it, too...

It'll be decent... it IS a Zelda spin off, so it can't really be horrible (if you think about it...)

I'll probably end up getting it, it IS a Zelda game (sort of) so I have to, you never know, it might end up good fun... it's just.. hy TINGLE!?

Some of those characters looks VERY WIERD Smilie

You have seen the CDi games haven't you. The zelda name doth not maketh a good game Smilie

As long as there aren't several thousands references to paedophilia it should be o.k...


But there will be... >_>

Man WHAT?

My theory was also that AlphaDream is behind this. Look at it this way:

  • Tomato Adventure - flopped on GBA, unlikely to see a sequel
  • Mario & Luigi - 2nd game only came out late last year, so too soon for another
  • Hamtaro - possible. Spin-off version hit earlier in 2005 (pre-Japanese DS boom) and died a sorry death, so a 'true' RPG could be coming
  • AlphaDream brings its quirky humour to Tingle.
  • Personally, I can't wait for this!
