DS to get Tingle-y RPG

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.
