Tingle RPG headed to UK, but normal games are too!
FINALLY! After a year of waiting, Tingle's trusty UK fanbase will be appeased with the release of Freshly Picked - Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland on September 14. Originally released in Japan in September 2006, Freshly Picked is a unique action RPG that has Tingle traveling to various islands, solving puzzles and battling enemies all in the pursuit of rupees. Given the title character's poor standing with western audiences, we're as surprised as anyone that this Zelda spinoff is being localized for the English market, and didn't just stay in Japan as we all hoped thought it would.Well before Tingle-mania reaches their shores, European DS owners will also be getting a handful of first-rate portable titles. Metroid Prime Pinball was just released this past week; Brain Age 2 will be landing on June 29 (well before the North American launch date); Elite Beat Agents is out on July 13th, and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl will be taking over the lives of British children on July 27.
Europe gets distinctly Tinglier this September
Everyone's favorite fairy hanger-on (and Balloon Fight remake star) is headed to Europe. Nintendo announced that Freshly Picked: Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland will be released on September 19th. Since they're doing the localization anyway, maybe we can expect a US release for this? We want to visit Rosy Rupeeland too! It's basically a Zelda game. Why wouldn't Nintendo release this worldwide?Check the link for the full list of upcoming Euro DS releases. We regret to inform you that most of them are not Tingle games.
Tingle RPG commercial hits the net
Ever since we heard about the Tingle RPG for the Nintendo DS, we've been oh so very curious about how this game would turn out. Now that there's a commercial up showing how it runs, we have to say, it looks like it will be a pretty fun game to play. If you're unfamiliar with Tingle RPG, here's a brief rundown from IGN:A new RPG featuring the floating fool from recent entries in the Legend of Zelda series. You play as the Wind Waker/Majora's Mask treasure specialist when he was 35 and single, before his transformation into Tingle form. The main character gets word that he ought to head out to a spring. He does so, and along the way, he comes in contact with Rupeeji, a name that can be translated to Old Man Rupee. Rupeeji tells the main character that by collecting rupees and throwing them at the spring, he'll be lead to the dream land of Rupee Land. He accepts the quest and, through a magic spell, gets transformed into Tingle. Tingle has a guide in the game, a girl fairy called Pingle.[Via Go Nintendo]
