My, oh my. It appears that everyone’s favourite… “orientation-ambiguous”, moustached fairy is set to appear in another game.

I’ll let you take that in for a moment. Ready? Okay. It seems that in popular Japanese gaming magazine, Famitsu, a teaser ad appeared featuring Tingle, a bright pink background, and Japanese text that simply reads “Fairy?” Good to see they’re toning down the camp. Tingle’s on his way back, and he’s as flamboyant as ever. No word on console – though a DS release, as with the previous titles, seems likely, don’t rule out the possibility of it being a WiiWare or DSiWare title.

Tingle’s last proper mouthful of an adventure, “Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland”, was an odd title, where the aim of the game was to collect as much money as possible. It was never released in America (they believed that, for some crazy reason, there just wasn’t a market for the game), but an official English translation exists in Europe. It remains to be seen if this new title will be released outside of Japan. I’m sure a lot of people are secretly wishing against it!

My guess is DSi ware. seems very likely.

It’s probably DSi ware. Seems most likely.

I really had issues with Rosy Rupee Land. WAAYYY too camp.

I have never played Rosy Rupee Land. I have a feeling it’s not worth getting.

It isn’t. I didn’t get it, only played. If you’re into that kind of stuff, I suppose, but…

I haven’t played either of them. I want to play so at the very least I can get my own opinion on them. And hey, who knows, they may actually make a good Tingle game (ha! like that’ll ever happen [imo]).

The sprite they show on the page seems more like something from Balloon Fight or like a 2D MM or something rather than whatever you want to say Rosy Rupee Land is.

Oh boy.

I… suppose… this is good news?

No, Zelda Wii was good news. This is… interesting Zelda news.
