Zelda News: New Tingle RPG for the DS.

Oh god. Tingle's getting his own spin-off series.

I haven't been able to find much info on it, and I'm really short on time so I can't really search any out, but here's a screenshot from Famitsu:

There's a bunch of other DS news, but none of it seems to have hit the big sites yet. You can find one of my friend's quick and dirty summarizations here: http://www.wotmania.com/ccgmessageboardsho...MessageID=53246

I have to leave in about five minutes to meet some long-lost great Aunt and Uncle that I've never met, but if any of you other staff have time, I would greatly appreciate it if you could find more sites/info or whatever and update this news post.

On a side note, what the hell is wrong with... whoever thought this up? I think Tingle is amusing more then annoying, but there's no way in hell he deserves his own game.

Zeldafreak84 says:

Looks like we had a double news post. This is the link from previous post with the Planet GameCube link I posted since LoS' post has more stuff.

Toan says:

Another side note is that ZeldaFreak84 beat ya to the punch there, l-o-s.

...I'll buy it, simply for kicks and giggles. XD

Masamune says:

Best. Idea. Ever.

Zeldafreak84 says:

Toan: It's not a race. We all work together. Anyways, the other news topic has been removed.

lord-of-shadow says:

Hah! I've seen this sort of thing at message boards all the time, but I didn't ever expect to encounter it here

Thanks for dealing with that, ZF. I guess I didn't need to be in such a hurry after all.

Hero of Winds says:

It happened with the announcement of the Revolution controller. I posted it a second after l-o-s did.

Didn't you ever wonder why my first post in that topic was "you bastard"?

Lilith says:

What the hell...?!?!? 0.o That's just disturbing... I hated Tingle in WW! There's no way I'd buy a whole game dedicated to him!!

Mongooseman says:

Hm, it may not be starring Tingle, but rather just a side-quest, or it may not have much to do with Zelda at all. Who knows, though, I'm getting it either way, even if just to have the newest "Zelda" game.

dewdadew5 says:

I doubt it would be about Tingle cause how could tingle fight a boss when he flies and the boss doesn't? i think it is a zelda game with the tingle tuner. if it is i would probably by it.

vaati_girl says:

Okay... :link0_o:

It's weird, the whole Tingle game dealie.

Rosie Roze says:

What the heck...? I don't know about this... So is this the Zelda DS game?

Turless says:

No... Frozen... Way...
I can't even stand seeing that guy OCCASIONALLY in the series. Why the heck would anyone want to stare at him throughout an entire game? Tingle must be popular in Japan or something. I wonder, though, if this will be used as a way to present the world of Zelda through a whole new perspective.

Link With Ramen says:

What in the name of Nayru?

O_o For some reason this Tingle game sounds like a bunch of hooplah to me...heh heh hooplah's a weird word...

The Keaton Fox says:

....this cant be the Zelda Title planned for DS...

Koroks Rock says:

i weep inside. something terrible has gotten into the hearts of nintendo, to make them desire such evil.

woe is me...
(the FF III game looks good though)

Haakon says:

Oh my god... I hate Nintendo.. since this moment... @_@

Iron Knuckle says:

Should we be happy with this. Tingle is starting to take over tooooo much control, ever since he first appeared in Majora's Mask.

Ricky says:

Oh...Nintendo...You can do better than that, surely.

Hopefully...you can subject Tingle to evil traps, torture and death by monkeys, otherwise this is a sure flop.

Linkfaith says:

This stinks...He was wierd enough in Windwaker.

Macke says:

Let's just pray that Tingle won't show up in TP...

gofer says:

Hopefuly it's just a misunderstanding and it's only a mini-game for the Zelda DS title, like the mimi-games on FSA. I better be a mini-game, 'cuz if its not... lets just say that I'll be the first one there kikin' Myamoto's ass! Personally, I think Tingle is a gay, pedafile, retard who should no more than play a very small role in any zelda story. Am I the only one who's notice how gay this guy is? He prances around in tights and calls himself a fairy! Tell me that's not gay!

gofer says:

... yes, I now I spelled "Miyamoto" wrong.

Klapaucius says:

I love Tingle.

Anyone else depressed by the news tha Tingle wont be in Twilight Princess?

Lilith says:

LOL! I agree with you, Dragonkeeper! Anyone who does that MUST be on the other side of the fence... Sorry, Klapaucius, but I won't be one of the people that misses that weird little fairy in TP. *sighs with relief*

Hero of Winds says:

Guess I'm a little behind. When did Nintendo say that Tingle wouldn't be in TP?

Haakon says:

"Hopefuly it's just a misunderstanding and it's only a mini-game for the Zelda DS title"

If that's right, then Zelda DS graphics sux, either way, we lose T_T

Really, the DS can manage better visuals than the N64, we can have graphics like Majora's Mask or better, I hope Nintendo don't go cheap with Zelda DS.

GanonsTruEvil says:

A tingle game... Weird!! I would like.. Throw up!! But I can't wait for Twilight Princess!!!!
GANONDORF RULEZ!!

stalchild says:

OMG tingle has his own game!?!?!?!

Iron~knuckle says:

wierd enough to but. well, i have to buy it to add to my colection anyway... but on the other hand, we can drop bombs on unsespecting enemies via hot air balloon. ^.^

Zgamer(HVCR) says:

Alright Tingle! My sisters gonna freak when she see's this!

Super Sayan Link says:

Tingle? The 40 year old that made maps and had some serious flaw in his sanity? The freak that thought he was a fairy holder and came with his own magic chant, "kallooooo, Limpaaaaah!", and told you not to steal it! In the name of flying penguins, what was Nintendo thinking!?

Kairu Hakubi says:

I guess this is what they meant by 'the last zelda game in its current form' ... and the pudgy, red-nosed, and squinty-eyed shall inherit the earth..

the_ocarina_of_time says:

ha ha! take that, you Tingle-haters! although if this is the Zelda game for DS, someone's gonna have to die.....

audrey.thomas1 says:

Okay.... this is different. if i owned a DS i'd play it!!

Fyrborn says:

I just want to say NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! _DEATH_ @,@

Crazy Eddy says:

What's up with Tingle and Nintedo!? I'm mean, ever since, what is it OOT? He's been in a Zelda game, I bet he has more crap then Zelda.

Zgamer(HVCR) says:

Yes, what is up this this
NINTEDO?!?!
