Today's trapped-at-the-U.S.-border video: Tingle DS

by Zack Stern on Aug 31st 2007 12:00AM

European and Japanese game, Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland has a new trailer showing the too-hot-for-America RPG. While no U.S. release has been mentioned, Tingle importers should at least be able to read the English in the European version, due September 14. That's assuming fans of Tingle can read.

We can't imagine Tingle not getting a U.S. release after the work has been done for the European localization. But maybe our myopic tastes make Nintendo nervous. (See the last sentence of the previous paragraph for an example.)

Watch the new trailer after the break.

I actually kinda thought that looked fun. I think I'm going insane.

SPOILER

Tingle gets cursed. And there's a plot twist on the final bad guy.

Still don't like him.

SPOILER!!!

tingle goes around putting ecstasy in young boys' apple juice. he then teaches them about the birds and the bee-hinds. hence the name tingle. he has been acquitted in 16 states, and has had his case thrown out of court numerous times for lack of evidence ... now he's publishing a book entitled, "why i didn't rape those little boys in the ass: if i would have done so, i would have made sure to groom the children, therefore we could have developed a trustworthy relationship where the child would have kept our secret so that his parents wouldn't have taken his pocketknife away if he told on me; so i assume ... the novel: a work of fiction; i promise."

/spoiler

Colin, you son of a bitch, I just laughed so hard that I spit my coffee out.

And it was good coffee too!

Really, it doesnt look that bad. Im gonna buy it if the game is release here in US...

I mean, poor Tingle... he have a stupid face... he deserve a few dollars from me (or rupees)

Ok I don't know what that trailer was about, there was a stereotypical-French looking elf, balloons and I guess that at the end was the evil f*ck monster.

It looks too weird. The music was great tho'.

Hvnly, Fernando, Word, it's 9:18 pacific time. We spend too much time here.

Tell me about it,Is 11:21 in here.

11:29 here

Damn... we are all geeks...

Seriously... I hope someday we Joystiq reders can meet in person.

It will be cool. Like, in las Vegas.

We're not spending enough time.

Well you and me live in Texas so we could meet some day.
I've been to Vegas twice.
Going again once I turn 21!

Joystiq... make a reunion in Las Vegas, starting the year, you put the food, the beer and the games... we put our presence.

Seriously, that will be a nice gift for your loyal readers.

Nah Fernando, It would suck. For some reason live meetings always suck, also I don't think we would have anything to say to each other.

The only circumstances in which Joystiq readers could meet would be via Halo 3 and I'm sure someone would screw that, yet it would be interesting.

12:47 here. ~_~

maybe we wont talk a lot to each other, but at least I can give a punch to Curmeo.

a Joystiq get together sounds like a great idea... At least until someone says something about either the 360 or the PS3, and before you know it they're sending in the riot police...

west coast 4 lyfe

yeah dawg!

maybe we wont talk a lot to each other, but at least I can give a punch to Curmeo.

MEH?

Huh?

Wha?.

BUH?!

GAH!

Wie?

Wii?

I'll admit it, I want this game... enough that my brain, during the trailer, was actually thinking "Hmm... I wonder how much that would cost to import..." Yeah... I'm insane though, so *shrug*

Looking you avatar... you dont have problem to import this game... I mean... you have a monocle!

Not Exactly sure what the eff is going on in that trailer but the character looks like Walter Matthau in a Noid outfit.

Due to his Triforce Chart extortion scheme in The Wind Waker, many will never like or respect Tingle. In addition, anybody who has played Four Swords Adventure probably has experience with Tingle stealing hard-earned force gems. Add that to his overpriced maps in Majora's Mask, and you have what may be the most annoying NPC in video game history simply because of his ability to piss players off with his own greediness.

Thank god we could make him fall on his face in Smash Bros, eh?

IMO if Link makes a Cameo stealing or messing with Tingle stuff that would make the game worth buying.

*Link stealing an important item from Tingle :"This is called karma b*tch".

While I know enough to know that you are referring to Zelda games, outside of that, your reply sounds like some deranged hippie diatribe. Sorry! This is because I haven't played any of those games, because I am not a fan of Zelda (you can kill me).

i don't wanna kill you. the only time i've ever seen tingle is in smash brothers too. i thought this guy was from katamari, because of his style, until this thread, when ppl reminded me he's in the zelda level of smash bros.

only zeldas I've played were about 7 hours of link's awakening (decent game, for it's time period) and about 5 hours of the new one on wii. decent games, nothing that special though. and i got real tired of being a dog, hence why I didn't go further in the new one

"(decent game, for it's time period)"

lol more like, better than 90% of the childishly shallow, mindnumbing, near-automatic shitpiles trying to pass off as adventure/rpg/whathaveyou that come out these days.

I'm sorry if you can't take it, but it's the truth.

the bear in spyro 2 (moneybags iirc) was more annoying. I think he was in spyro 3 as well

damn that man. Couldn't swim or wall climb without him. at least ripto beat him up

I want this game. If NOA doesn't announce a release, I'm importing a European version (even if it costs a lot).

If you want the game so much, why not just import it? It's not as if they're region protected.

I've imported every Gyakuten Saiban game, for instance, so I end up having them well in advance of when they're put out here in the US.

Moreover, you can be all pretentious and tell your friends "Oh, buying games from a Best Buy or Gamestop? Well *I* import!" And then you can smoke a fancy cigarette on the end of one of those long holders.

1) Importing games cost more than domestic releases (well, unless you're European or Australia, I think).
2) You're not giving your money to the American publisher! How are they supposed to know whether or not you want any upcoming sequels in English, too?

Yeah this game might be good actually....

Yeah, Rich Uncle Pennybags!
