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...

Yup...Stevey LOVES Tingle...

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.

So yeah, go-go Tingle RPG!
Post by: Ian Sane on October 06, 2005, 12:25:57 PM
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!

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

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.

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.

I thought Tetra's Trackers was dropped from ALL versions, now I'm sad ;___;
Post by: Ian Sane on October 07, 2005, 11:04:33 AM
Yeah but wasn't the excuse that the game was so dependant on verbal commands from Tetra that it made for a hard translation? That's a pretty flimsy excuse but there was some reason given. Aside from BS Zelda I can't think of any other Zelda game to not make it here.
Post by: UncleBob on October 07, 2005, 12:01:59 PM
Tetra's Trackers, a fun game, was cut from all non-Japanese releases of the game.
Coming from someone who played it (and it is *quite* fun, I must say) - the game is very dependent on the commands that Tetra, Sue Bella and King of the Red Lions give you - in fact, had it not been for a rough translation guide for the game (over at GameFAQs.com) I would have been quite stumped as to what to do (since I speak/read absolutly *no* Japanese).
But... I don't see any reason as to why the game couldn't have been translated - it's not like the game was heavily dependent on the Japanese culture or some such. No, I think the reason that the game wasn't brought over to the US was because NoA didn't want to commit the resources to translating the game since... well... Let's put it this way, while I enjoyed it as a fun destraction, most of y'all probably wouldn't have. It's not Zelda in any way, shape or form and is very much a "party game" or such. It's a race/competition with Link as the main character - and that's pretty much it.

I could be misremembering though, I can't find the source.
Post by: UncleBob on October 07, 2005, 01:32:24 PM
I believe at one year's E3, a demo was running where Tetra called players by Mr. or Ms. [insert letter here] (i.e.: "Ms. R" or "Mr. T"). However, it was also my understanding that the game was fairly poorly received at E3 - which would explain the why NoA didn't want to commit the resources on further work to translate the title....

First off, the game comes with a Credit Card e-Reader. When playing, everytime that you/Tingle discover a map, you have to swipe a credit card and Tingle charges you $398 to use the map. Oh, and you *need* the maps in order to finish the game.
Second, the commerical. Picture a busy New York-esque street corner with tons of people walking by. Music playing in the background is something along the lines of the Wind Mill Man in OoT. Standing still on the corner is a man in a Tingle outfit. He stands there, absolutly still for about 10-15 seconds.
...
Then the announcer says "Go ahead, you know you want to touch him." - Key some action shots from the game - "Battle alongside Tingle and friends in this awesome new adventure - journey through 12 different levels on a quest to resuce Knuckle from the evil clutches of the Anti-Faries - use the touch screen to activate unique items like the Tingle Balloon and the Tingle Fish in order to destroy countless hordes of evil minions. Only in Tingle's RPG - and only on the Nintendo DS." - Cut back to creepy Tingle Guy - "Come on, don't keep him waiting."

Anyway, the Song of Storms is really an awesome song, one of my favorite game songs of all-time. "I like the feeling of despair and futility. " That's the perfect description of the song, hearing it's just like, "Life....sucks...."

Tetra trackers wasnt that deep
All you had to do is go to the proper flag man (timing for bonus) and collect powerup's
I beat the first 10 or so stages then got bored, my mate beat it totally by collecting all the maps
