The Ultimate Legend of Zelda spinoff

[The Wandering God]

I hope you are wearing protective gear for this.

Seriously, you better be sitting down.

Ready?

Tingle is getting his own game for the DS. (http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3151337)

:fighter: My mind is officially blown.

Thanks to the kids at NeoGAF for the translation help because, no, we're not kidding. Freshly-picked Tingle's Pink-coloured Rupee is the actual title of Nintendo's latest. It's a name of sheer awesome, a name only rivaled by the forthcoming summer blockbuster Snakes on a Plane That's some serious competition.
Do they even know what they're saying?

[ElfLad]

10 bucks says it's a Japan-only release.

[The_Bear]

My 10 bucks says it gets a limited domestic release with a lame name like "Tingle's Adventure", then quickly goes out of production and pops up on e-bay for $60 a year later.

[Bells]

I gonna say it 3 times fast and loud

:eek: !

I'm getting that when I pick up a DS! XD

[Dark Seraphim]

...

Would this be even weirder if I knew what a Tingle was?

More than you can POSSIBLY IMAGINE.

That's Tingle.

He's a 40 year old man who thinks he's a fairy. This is not exaggeration.

He also draws maps.

[greed]

This will hit Sony's weak point for MASSIVE DAMAGE!

But seriously please, please please please do not let him/it in SSBB. PLEASE!!!
Man why couldn't we get a Ganondorf, or hell a Mr Engrish from Zelda 1 or Navi, centric spinoff. Even the story of how Mido became the Boss Kokiri would be better!

[The Wandering God]

I'm sure this title has already generated great interest.

So here are some details (http://www.gamespot.com/news/6152555.html).

Ya know, I think this is pretty much proof that there are some Japanese developers who do drugs. I mean c'mon.

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.

Wasn't Katamari or hell even Mario?

[Regulus Tera]

So finally we are going to have some canon about why Tingle is Tingle?

Damn, there goes my erotic doujinshi.

What about Tingle could be "erotic?"

You know what? Don't answer that.

unless you mean "Erotic" in the sense of "Creepy."

Both erotic and creepy can be subjective. You asked for it, don't regret about it a sentence later (Absolute WARNING! Do not highlight if you want to retain your sanity!):

Mido: I think I was born to meet you.
Tingle: ...
Mido: Tingley-wingey... This night is represents one of my last opportunities to experience bodily love for what will be a very... long time.
Tingle: ......
Mido: Have you ever experienced the physical pleasures with another human being before?
Tingle: Um... that Fat Fairy Lady tried... but... *gulps and stares out into space* I-I just don't see her like THAT.
Mido: "The Fat Fairy",eh? *grin* What about ME?

Tingle glances awkwardly at Mido's warmly beaming face and sparkling red eyes. Blushes erupt from his cheeks. His eyes wander off into space.

Mido: You're thinking of the shower, aren't you?
Tingle: ......
Mido: Does that disturb you?
Tingle: (abruptly) ...No! (pause) ...Well... maybe a little...
Mido: (serious) I'm different, Tingly-wingey.
Tingle: Uh, yeah. I noticed.
Mido: Do you want to know the truth?
Tingle: (tentative half-frown)

Mido steps down from his bed and stands at the bottom of Tingle's futon. He pulls his shirt over his head. Flat as a board, of course. The lower garments come off in one go and are kicked to the side. Tingle was confused enough by the brief glance he took earlier -- and was too sheepish to make any comments about -- but now it's more clear than ever that he finds himself strangely aroused...

Mido: (smiling warmly) Homo Sapiens always seem to be confused by me.
Tingle: (embarassed) .... T-that's because... um... aren't you... like... missing... stuff?
Mido: (impish) Less than you might think.
Tingle: ...
Mido: Here: let me show you.

...She crouches over Tingle and caresses his face sensually.

Mido: Tingly-wingey... I've had to maintain a pretense for too long. Help me feel like a woman again.

Don't say I didn't warned you.

Now On Topic: I fear that this game will become something like.. let's say, Banjo-Kazooie? You know, collecting stuff 'til you are frustrated enough to pierce your DS with the Stylus. I just hope that the guys at Nintendo take over some of Namco Staff and make it weird enought to live up to my expectations.

..Well, maybe not MY expectations. I have recently found they are strangely disturbing for other people, though I don't fully understand why.

[Bells]

You see.... i see this thread... and then... i read this...

...and Now... i fear for the future of gaming...

[Ogianres]

It's almost as if Nintendo doesn't want me to have even the slightest chance at recovering from everything they are doing.

Marketing Genius 1:"Hey, we should make a revolutionary console with more interactivablity! Just so nobody knows what we're talking about, let's code-name it the Revolution!
Marketing Genius 2:"I think it should be called the Wii!"
Marketing Genius 1:"... BRILLIANT!"
Later

Marketing Genius 1:"You know, despite his creepiness, it seems that people like Tingle. Maybe enough to play his very own game?!"
Marketing Genius 2:"Freshly-picked Tingle's Pink-coloured Rupee.."
Marketing Genius 1:"... What the hell?"
Enter Miyamoto
Nintendo God:"Herro! How are you two feering? What game shourd we make now?"
Marketing Genius 1:"Uh, I don't know, how about a new Metroid?"
Marketing Gneius 2:"Freshly-picked Tingle's Pink-coloured Rupee!"
Greatest Video Game Maker:"... BRIRRIANT!"

And yet I still love them. I seriously wish I had a DS so I could play this crazy-ass game.

[Burkion]

We all do.

Hell, who wouldn't want to play with Tingle's Freshly Picked Pink Ass...er, rupee...

Your avatar makes your post that much creepier.

Don't you get it? Fool, Miyamoto is Tingle!

[Burkion]

That's what I thought...

[Bamboozehound]

In my defense, I highlighted Neko's post and now I'm insane apparently.

[Burkion]

Psssh! Go read a few dozen pokemon rape stories involving that redheaded chick with no hooters and a tree thing, THEN you can claim mild insanity.

To go full insane, go read up on Oscar. The cas lovin' hermaphrodite. The MALE catloving hermaphrodite that's a SSJ in Sailor Moon!

[Bamboozehound]

Well, that's just your own damn fault :[ Neko made a big red sign and the invisible text just begged to be highlighted.

[Burkion]

Actually, I've done shot past insane.

So really, that doesn't effect me anymore...

Then again, I just played a game involving a dog, a naked girl, and lots of white stuff.

I'll let you figure out what just happend.

[Bamboozehound]

I'm going to sleep now.

[Burkion]

Then again, there was that other SIM hentai game involving tentacles...

Yes, this all exists. Ask me to PM the link to you and I will.

[Meister]

tingle game ds zelda miyamoto pure insanity tingle tingle tingle rupee BUY RUPEES HERE tingle...

... just my way of subtly noting we should get back on track. ^_^

[Dwarfburg citizen]

On the plus side...after reading Neko's post, I decided to go through with writing my erotic katamari damacy doujinshi!:cool:
on topic I must say that Im not surprised, I knew they were eventually gonna make it ever since Majora's Mask. Tingle just screamed "Spin Off!"

[Bells]

What do you mean "I fear for the future of gaming"?

The Wandering God

i mean that some stupid people may link on thing to another and actually start thinking that there is a freakin demohraphic for gamers...

Gamers are gamers... i love Gran turismo and Ridge Racer, but i hate need for speed... im afraid of Fatal Frame and Silent Hill, but i played Manhunt... i loved and hated many games for the simple fact that they are good games...

And now i fear for that fact that if this Fresh-Freakin-Fuggin-Fuggle-Snooze-Ruppie-whatever game comes out actually good, nintendo just might start doing mor crap like this...

Remeber... once someone belived that "Barbie riding horses" (Non-porno) was a Good game... so as any Mary kate and Ashley... AND paris hilton games... someone, somewhere, actually belived that making this games was a good idea... and those people have jobs... and make more monies then you and me...

...i dont know, that scares me...

[Meister]

Somehow a game about a 40-year old man who believes himself to be a fairy doesn't strike me as catering to a target group the same way Olsen twins and Paris Hilton games do.

But in any case that mindset is already happily shared among certain developers for the reason that in their eyes it equals quick cash.
