According to the scan, the game's plot apparently follows an average middle-aged guy leading a dull existence. One day, he responds to an invitation to "come to the spring," and finds himself mixed up in a sort of wager. An old man named Rupee-ji (a skinny guy with a Rupee for a head) invites our hero to collect the familiar currency of Hyrule and toss it into the spring. As a result, he opens up a path to the "Happy Land," a paradise where wine, women, and song are in ample supply. As soon as he agrees to give it a try, the protagonist is transformed and appears wearing the familiar Tingle outfit.
The scan also showed a mysterious female fairy named Pinkle and scenes of Tingle dressed as both a fairy and a middle-aged office worker. No details of the gameplay were given in the article, but two of the screens show some sort of calculator interface.
According to the scan, the Tingle RPG is slated for release sometime in 2006. However, when contacted by GameSpot, Nintendo of America representatives would neither confirm nor deny such a project even exists. "No comment," was all a rep would say.
i heard about this awhile ago but.. this just kinda makes you go HUH?! and a ruppee headed dude? i'm kinda curious about the game :P
Tingle looks like he likes boys (if he is a boy) in that picture. A game starring tingle what are you gonna do? Sell maps to Link?!?!?!? and try not to die because everybody hates you and they are throwing stuff at you?!?!?!?!?
A game with Tingle... uh... what more can I say but, WTF? Seems cool.
WHY TINGLE??? Why not Ganondorf?
..........i knew about this a long time ago and my mind is still corrupted! but i will be gettting this game (not paying for it! I WILL DESTROY IT)
"No comment," I can see why after reading the article!
out of all the characters in the game, WHY TINGLE!! could they have not made a game of how vaati came into power or something like that.................... heh (tingle with women, a disaster in tights)
cool.
I heard about this like a year a go.
how... unsavory
worthlees.
It does certainly sound silly, but i shall leave it until more specific information and previews come along before deciding whether or not to scream madly and gouge my eyes out, as so many of you seem to be pre-emptively doing anyway.
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
good lord! what is the industry coming to!
this will cause thousands of Zelda fans to commit suicide,=. PLEASE GOD TELL ME HE ISN'T IN TP!
tha women part of tha paradise sounds nic, tho....minus tha catch u had 2 be sum wangsta fairy
I like the Uwe Bool Idea.
im pumped
Why is GS questioning the existance of this game, it's was anounced ages ago.
I love it- Tingle's awesome. But I must say that this has the best title I've ever heard. I hope they bring it to the US, and I definitely hope they keep the name. XD It's truly the best title ever lol.
go tingle!! wine, women and games!
Errata: In the newsletter said that Tingle first appeared in Wind Waker, but it was in Majora's Mask that "he" appeared selling maps to Link.
Eh...yikes.
this is going to be cool ^.^ woot
**** Tingle the freaky homo fairy from Zelda in is own game?! Nintendo why!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lets not forget the name either happy fairy gay land or whatever! This game gives Nintendo a BAD name!
go tingle...its yur birthday!!!!!
What a legend I gotta say his bros are the best!
RPG + DS = mean i rekon an MMORPG for DS wound be mean
WHAT!?! I despise Tingle! But this game almost sounds interesting. NOOO ARGHHHHHH!!!
This is what i get for insulting the revolutions new name...XD
For once, Tingle would be cool! hm...... But from reading the story, it sounds like it'll be a Japan-exclusive release. Who knows if it'll be released in America if Nin tendo of AMERICA didn't say anything about it ever existing.
If you have to use the touch screen so he can do his dance, then I want to jump out of the window... and fall to my untimely death. If I get this game as a present, then please let me die.
that sounds like a really interesting title if it does cum out
Kooloo Limpah!!!!!!!
Aroo?
This is going to be one crazy game I need to check out.
A tingle game? I found it.... like.... homo?
Finally a nintendo game targeting for older players, enough of hearing baby Mario cry!! A fusion in between nintendo's quality and Japanese bizarre taste can be awesome!
This was published on Wikipedia Months ago. I posted on the The Minish Cap board and people said I was crazy. Who's laughing now! And toward's further comment's I don't trust wikipedia on everything. I put it on there as a half - hearted joke that backfires when people started flaming me. Till next time
But there's one thing that still confuses me: Since when have there been ANY Office Workers in the Zelda universe!?!
I heard something about this a really long time ago. As long as it doesn't replace Phantom Hourglass (like I originally thought it would), I will support the making of this game.
I'm not a fan of Tingle and I wonder what kind of game Nintendo is planning... It would be interesting to read more info, check some pics/videos and know more about the game. It might end up being a good game... who knows.
1st of all I strogly dout this game will come to the US because of how weird it is. But even if it did come to US I wouldn't get it cayse I can;t stand RPGs if I ever did git it it would only be for laughs
uhhh.... that's a little too much for me. no male faries!!1
My own opinion is that tingle scares me.
Well Oompa my Loompa...
Tingle!!! Hes beautiful and smart at the same time!!!
i need zelda on DS, so if this comes out before phantom hourglass, ill buy it.
I would rather buy a DS remake of Baby Boomer.
That's a pretty long title. How's a middle aged office guy to do with Zelda?
