Now Tingles DS its called Fresh Tingle's Rose Colored Rupee Land.

 

June 8, 2006 - Nintendo's Tingle RPG is no longer vaporware. Nintendo has at long last shared first details on the new DS offshoot of Zelda: Wind Waker, properly known in Japan as Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land.

 

First, an explanation of that name. The title translates to "Fresh Tingle's Rose Colored Rupee Land." If Nintendo of America had translated Tingle's name as Tinkle (which is how the Japanese name is written in the first place), this would have been the best title ever. If Nintendo had further decided to make this game for the Wii, our work day would've ended early today (although it should be noted that the Japanese don't apply the same connotations to Wii and Tinkle that we do).

 

We'll refer to the game as Tingle RPG from here on.

 

In Tingle RPG, you play as the Wind Walker 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 (which, in case you aren't into Zelda, is the currency of Hyrule, the kingdom in which the series takes place) 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.

 

We're not quite sure what Tingle RPG is all about just yet. Money will play a big part in the game, though -- that much is for sure. You'll have to give up money in order to please the members of town. You'll have to give up money in order to pass through gates. What exactly you do in town once those townfolk are pleased, and what lies beyond those gates, are mysteries for now.

 

Tingle has a guide in the game, a girl fairy called Pingle (this name would've been Pinkle if Nintendo hadn't been shy with its original naming). Pinkle appears in a monitor in Tingle's house. Her relationship with Tingle is unknown, but it seems as though shell greet the hero at the end of each work day.

 

Obviously, Nintendo's left us in the dark on quite a bit regarding Tingle RPG. The game is still set for some time in 2006, though, so we expect solid details soon enough.

Why would you get the gcn version if you had the wii version? The controlls are practically the same: its still A and R (C or Z on wii) for context sensitivity and B for sword. The only differences is that instead of aiming with the analogue stick, you aim with the wiimote. Getting both is a waste of money.

 

Advantages of Wii over Cube version:

1, it runs at 60fps instead of 30fps.

2, It will have some better graphical touches such as water and fire effects (apparently).

3, You probably will be able to use the GCN pad.

4, Its pretty, new and on a huge DVD disk :P

None of that is news, it's just natural assumption. In that recent EGM or whatever interview Aounuma said there'll perhaps be "slight graphical upgrades", which makes sense since they have the ability to do so and it'll help the game look more appealing to people. The most obvious upgrade would be a smoother framerate (60fps instead of 30fps) though it's likely there'll be other updates too like improved effects, lighting and what not. On the other hand, there very likely wont be higher polycounts or higher resolution textures.

It's weird to think it could have been released 7 months ago like we were all expecting. I couldn't be more pleased about the delay now.

 

I kinda agree. I just wish that would tell us a Wii launch date and pirce now. I understand them wanting to be really ready to confirm it but i think there taking the mick a little now espicially after delaying a game they said would come out last November (for sure, supposadely) and then not telling us when it's still going to be released a whole 7 MONTHS later, i mean talk about making us wait....

 

I'm still bitter! :hehe:

 

It be worth it though; i know, but people do need to set-out there money etc... and what to save ready for launch and telling us two months before it's released (announced probably end of August, released end of October beginning of November) isn't long enough! Hopefully people have already started saving. :wink:

 

Still it makes no difference, Nintendo can't do know wrong at the mo! :D
