Everyone’s favourite 35 year-old green-tights-wearing bachelor is getting not one, but two spin off titles. That’s right, two Tingle games.
Nintendo’s upcoming line-up may have more than just new appearances from Link, Mario and Samus, as the venerable fairy Tingle from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask may be starring in a new game of his own.
I like Tingle. Funny guy. He’s a very different, very…unique character. A lot of Americans, though…they hate. Hate Tingle! Whether through rampant homophobia or just differing tastes on what makes a good incidental Zelda character, we’ll never know. What we do know, now, is that there are more Tingle games coming. So many Nintendo are kicking Tingle up to fully-fledged main character status. Kensuke Tanabe: I heard from EAD that they decided not to use Tingle after Wind Waker because Tingle was unpopular, especially in the US. As a matter of fact, he did not actually appear in Twilight Princess. You may want to ask Mr. Aonuma about the future plan!
As for our team, SPD3 (Software Planning & Development Department, Production Group No.3), we have just started on our making-Tingle-a-main-character-project. In the works we produce, he will continue to move in his own direction.
See where your hate got you? It got you a whole load of new Tingle games. How you like them apples! Tingle Watches You Sleep [N-Europe]
Whoever it was at Nintendo that sat down, looked at the release schedule and went “yeah, fuck it, let’s release this in Europe”, I say this: thank you. Whoever threw the music together for this trailer, I say…thank you?
