Hmm.... What to think of this game idea.
Will it expand more on existing Hyrulian storyline, or perhaps it will introduce an entierly new aspect of the land of Hyrule.
Will it revolve around one of the "existing" Tingles (Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Oracle of Ages, or Hyrulean Adventure) or will it be a brand new Tingle?

An RPG presents an interesting possibility - will there be a "party" of characters? Perhaps Knuckle and the gang from Wind Waker? Or entierly new characters made up just for this game? A little of both, perhaps?

This game could be quite interesting to say the least...

Who's the dev? I've been wondering that.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #2 on:** October 06, 2005, 10:52:04 AM »

From what I can tell, it's being done in-house...And I don't know what I can possibly say about this game from a single screen...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #3 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:01:48 AM »

From the single screen it looks like tingle is floating over a boss-like monster with his balloons and he's going to drop a bomb in a specific place on the boss' head.

Then later he goes over to Stevey's house to hang out since they're good buddies.

Artimus · « **Reply #4 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:02:15 AM »

It just seems like such a waste? No one really likes Tingle and he's barely even a character.

UncleBob · « **Reply #5 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:08:30 AM »

Tingle has a... following. They're a strange bunch though.

mantidor · « **Reply #6 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:33:18 AM »

knowing Japan, it wouldnt be odd if Tingle has strong following there. When Aunoma mentioned they were leaving Tingle out of TP, he specifically said "some of the American gamers dont like him". This also means a zero chance of localization

Yup...Stevey LOVES Tingle...

*Vomit* I hope this never come to the states. why must there be a retard zelda spin off. shyguy: I hate tingle!

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #9 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:52:11 AM »

Oh please please please please please please I hope they localize this. An instant buy from me, you can bet on that. Hell, if this doesn't come stateside I might even import it, JUST TO SAY I IMPORTED THE TINGLE GAME.
Really, though, I hope to God it's localized because it has such potential to be delightfully weird. Like the Zelda version of Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Strell · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:52:57 AM »

Just think about how great this game will be. You can let Tingle die over and over.

What can possibly be better than that.

Karl Castaneda #2 · « **Reply #11 on:** October 06, 2005, 12:18:13 PM »

I, too, really hope this comes stateside. Tingle's a completely ridiculous character, and it'd be nice to explore the world of Zelda through the eyes of a lunatic. Like someone else mentioned, they could have fun inserting a bunch of "in-jokes" about the series; hilarity would ensue.

So yeah, go-go Tingle RPG!

"This also means a zero chance of localization"

This is a Zelda game. Of course they're going to localize it.

Personally I just want to know what type of game it is. The screen doesn't give much of an indication and "RPG" can be a pretty vague term.

It's funny. A Zelda RPG has been a pretty popular "dream game" ever since Super Mario RPG came out. So now Nintendo might actually make one... and the main character is Tingle. D'oh!

Karl Castaneda #2 · « **Reply #13 on:** October 06, 2005, 12:32:53 PM »

Well, if you think about it, it's a better idea to go with a character that isn't Link. Compared to the action of real swordfights, doing the same thing in a turn-based fashion isn't that fun. But Tingle will likely fight (or combat, or duel, or whatever you want to call it) in a completely different way, thus it's a bit more appealing, since it'll likely be fun in a creative sense.

Plus, you know it's going to be funny, and there's a sore lack of good, funny games.

Caillan · « **Reply #14 on:** October 06, 2005, 01:29:40 PM »

For some reason I'm really looking foward to this. It's a pretty ridiculous development to embark on and I love Nintnedo for doing so. For a while I worried that Nintendo would perhaps try too hard to please the crowd with TP and end up making it a little too dark and serious. It was an ungrounded suspicion and I can see now that they have no intention of ripping Zelda away from what it is. After Aonuma acknowledged that "some Armerican's don't like Tingle" I thought that we would't see Tingle again for a while. And so the sheer cheek of developing this game makes me smile. Of all the spin-offs possible within the Zelda universe, this is probably the one I like the sound of the most (though a Hyrulian RPG made by SE ala Super Mario RPG would be nice too, of course).

Did anyone else think that the title of the thread had been announced as the official name for the game when they first saw it? Because that would be awesome.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #15 on:** October 06, 2005, 02:21:13 PM »

The AMN admins are saying that it was announced by Square, not Nintendo.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #16 on:** October 06, 2005, 08:11:16 PM »

Perhaps your goal is to abduct children and "tingle" them...

Mario · « **Reply #17 on:** October 06, 2005, 08:27:32 PM »

I'm really interested in this game! I love Tingle, I think he's a parody of Nintendo fans (or a parody of SOMETHING at least, it's been a while since i've played MM or TWW so I can't remember), and i'm hoping this game is a giant hilarious parody.

Nephilim · « **Reply #18 on:** October 06, 2005, 11:30:06 PM »

The ingame pic looks very 4swords
Hopefully It turns out fun

RPGs aren't always turn-based.

Now, my idea for this game is so strange I don't think it will ever happen, but here it is. It's all based off the Tingle Tuner concept in WW. It's an action RPG like Tales, only, unlike tales, all of the 'main' party members are controlled by AI. It's your job, as Tingle, to fly over head and drop bombs, keys, etc. to help the party's AI out. Think Tales of Symphonia meets Lemmings. =)

Well I think it would be cool.

Karl Castaneda #2 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 07, 2005, 04:38:32 AM »

Pale, of course they aren't, but most are, so when I hear RPG, it's only logical to think "turn-based." And if it's an action/RPG of some sort, how's that much different than any regular Zelda? The point was that going with a different character would be a better choice if they're going to change genres.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #21 on:** October 07, 2005, 07:04:42 AM »

Pale, I think that is a very cool idea.

Can't wait to see what this is about.

Artimus · « **Reply #22 on:** October 07, 2005, 07:17:50 AM »

Anyone else think Remarkably Peculiar Game is actually a really great subtitle for the actual game? I'd buy it if they called it that.

kirby_killer_dedede · « **Reply #23 on:** October 07, 2005, 08:45:42 AM »

Hell I'd buy it if they subtitled it "Don't Buy Me."

Avinash_Tyagi · « **Reply #24 on:** October 07, 2005, 09:50:19 AM »

I think this game could be hilarious if done right.

Maybe we'd see Link talk for the first time ever!!!
