King Of Games Does Tingle
Japanese game clothing specialists King of Games have been in a bit of a funk lately. Lots of bland, boring designs. But not this one! This one’s the opposite of both bland and boring. You can thank Tingle for that.
This shirt is based on the upcoming DS game Tingle’s Love Balloon Trip, the sequel to 2006’s never-released-in-America Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland.
Not much more to add to that, really. You either agree that The Love Is Mightier Than The Sword, or you don’t.

@ShaSt One: " For the coin they're asking for, you'd expect them to 1UP the competition,"
I see what you did there...
At first I thought the picture was saying that girl was the king of games, and was about to declare it a trap. But then, I couldn't exactly figure out what this was about, until I realized she was a model for the shirt brand. I also misread "Baloontrip of love" as "Bacontrip of love.
Who wants to come with me on a Bacon-trip of love?
That shirt is effing awesome..but like others, not $50 awesome. Great design, though. Do they have a physical store?

I can't look at that picture without seeing the caption "when you see it..." below.

That guy from zelda got his own game? Whaaa!
@GundamRevolution:

@SlinkyGuy - So British, I piss tea and poop scones.: Um...no, it's not.
@Willby: I'd gladly slip into either, if you know what I mean.
@BubbleF**kingBuddy: Haha, didn't even notice... just as he planned.
ugly t-shirt, cute model.
It's OK. If you take the already microscopic Tingle out, it'd be nothing special. Good, not $50 good.
The problem with King of Games is that, from what I've seen, they have tasteful designs, but they just aren't that great. For the coin they're asking for, you'd expect them to 1UP the competition, and they actually may, but that's because there is no competition. Definitely not bad, but I feel like no one's gotten gaming apparel right yet. It needs to climb a beanstalk to a higher standard.
I wish Pokemon151 with their edgy PokéShirts was still around, they were on the right track.

King of Games? that totally screams Yu-Gi-Oh to me. King of Games = Yugi Moto?
@GriefTroll: Disemvoweling these types of comments is doubleplusgoodgood. It gives trolls and assholes a stern warning instead of an outright ban, causing them to reevalute their childish and uncalled for behavior.
There, I fixed your post.

For fifty dollars, she better come with the shirt.
@SsLordMagus: insult her like paul?
reemvoweling is a fledgling science
@Esper mind tricks: So Tingle goes every way. Is it surprising? He's all about the love...
@Showmeyomoves!: if would almost seem wrong if they actually spelled something correctly. it wouldn't have that engrish charm to it

@Commenter 2415A5Q-66A: nnnoooooooo! *fart noise*
@jp182: OVER $50!!! jesus
@Kimochi Sama: how much are they charging?
@Protector one: Yeah, I'm not seeing much room for gaikoku addresses in the registration form. Then again, my kanji is ish. Anyone who has managed international shipping on this site, please to post your advice for us.
@KingHippo: kids, write your own like plunkett stories with the plnkmtr! Simply full in this template:
headline her
insert insult are harsh criticism of game are company her
insert actual news her
optional secondary insult her like paul
Does it come with a free Tingleberry at this price ?
@GriefTroll: There goes your chance for a star.
@KingHippo: Disemvoweling these types of comments is doubleplusungood. It creates an antagonistic relationship between the readers and editors.
Think it's a bit expensive for a T-shirt? That's one thing I never liked about Japanese fashion. As much as I would kill a man for a cool tee, now I think I'll have to kill him AND take his wallet.
@SsLordMagus: great tool, thanks.
Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland takes a whole new meaning when your mind equates tingel with clitoris...
O.o
Esper mind tricks
Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is the game that is equivalent to EarthBound, Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger and uh....every single Square Enix game.

Showmeyomoves!
@LionheartAce: But then you see pictures of muscular Tingle and he seems to like the pussy. (Tingle = clitoris [slang in Filipino]) And then the fact that he has a thing for kids in green suits...
And now I'm totally weirded out.

@Showmeyomoves!: Not once, but twice. "Baloontrip" on the shirt, "Balloontrio" in the ad.
Showmeyomoves!
@KingHippo: I've seen posts like this occasionally.
Is it a meme or something?
@KingHippo: Aw man, I can't make out most of that.
They misspelled "Balloontrip".
Showmeyomoves!
Trying to order it, but the squiglies are causing me trouble! (I love me some Tingle, even though the shirt design isn't really that great.)
I would definitely wear that.
I never did get around to playing that Tingle game. Maybe I should.
Thats a pretty nice design!
Bet my friend would love this shirt.
@KingHippo: Dohohohoho!
@Esper mind tricks: Then you DO get him. =P Japan loves their homosexual innuendos... In your end-o! Boosh!

I totally don't get Tingle. He wants a fairy but I think he already is one.

Tingle is spying on that woman in the back.
Goddammit! Don't encourage him!
