A new RPG in the Zeldaverse... not starring another Link!

[Chad Bonin]

... but... freakin' Tingle.

I was kind of hoping this had been canned.

[Artimus Gigan]

Well Torento: The Last Hope is still the most pathetic RPG ever made

Tingle doesn't even come close

[sdp]

you mean Torneko?

that game is amazing, it is not really an RPG either but a 'dungeon' game.

[Conekiller]

The art style reminds me of Viewtiful Joes, what with the thick black jagged black outlines on everything.

IIRC this is the first time we've seen Tingle outside his *ahem* fairy out fit.

Is anyone else a bit freaked out at that sexy blond lady wearing the lavender Tingle outfit in the bottom of the pic?

I'm glad someone else noticed that.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable 'Zelda as Sheik' action game.

There we go.

I knew there was a different route they should have taken for a spinoff, but I couldn't put my finger on it.

If it was inevitable I think it would have come to pass a long time ago.

I liked Tingle as a supporting character, particularly in Wind Waker, but I'm not too thrilled with the idea of him taking a starring role. It's a game I could easily overlook.

[Master Moron]

Tingle always seemed like a child molester to me. I mean, he obviously only dresses in that outfit so he can get kids to approach him.

[Tash]

*looks at pics*

This should have been a MMORPG. Now THAT would have rocked.

[Duke]

Outside of his costume, Tingle looks like a drunk & high Mario...

[Conan-san]

Bah

How about a RPG where your Tetra and you do pirate stuff and stuff, with Xenogear like battles with the ships.

I hope this becomes a new black sheep in the Zelda Series, I realy do.

So you'd rule out the possibility that Nintendo will ever make it.

I wouldn't, but okay.

[K-S-O]

Looks... kind of freaky!

I don't know what else to think of this.

To be honest, yes I would. I don't see why they would ever make a game like that since Shiek was only in one of the major titles (that I know of anyway) and he didn't really do much when he was on screen.

If there's some secret fanbase out there that would justify the creation of a game based on Shiek, then this is the first indication of it that I've seen.

Besides, why dilute the Zelda universe with games that don't star Link? That goes for this Tingle game too. If they're going to go to the trouble of making a new "Zelda" game, I don't see why they don't make a real Zelda game since that would most likely make a greater profit than a spinoff starring a minor character.

Of course, I won't stop you from dreaming of such a game. Feel free to come on here and yell a big ol' "in your face!" if they ever make a Shiek game.

Umm, they ARE making a real Zelda game. Remember that new Horuglass Zelda game for the DS that's in the works using the Wind Waker engine?

Tingle is VERY popular in Japan.

The graphic style is cool, but do I ever hate Tingle! I'd still play it because you know I'm a Nintendo/Zelda fanatic.

I am liking the idea of those Zelda spin-off ideas with Zelda as Shiek and/or Tetra. Another idea that I would think of as fun would be one involving the Gorons.
