    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.

    Okeydoke, Nintendo, let me just make sure I have this tally correct:


    Total number of Earthbound games: 3

    Total number of Kid Icarus games: 2

    Total number of Excitebike games: 2

    Total number of Tingle games: 4


    Thanks a fucking lot, Nintendo.

    @H_Chinaski: What are the 3rd and 4th Tingle games?


    The DSiWare stuff is more akin to tools, and it was likely made by TOSE or some random third-party dev.


    Tingle's Balloon Fight is just that - Ballon Fight with Tingle. And it was not even available to the general public.

    I'm confused... do the Japanese actually like Tingle or something? I was under the impression he was hated on a global level.

    @Orian: Why yes, Tingle is quite popular in Japan. In parts of Europe as well. Tingle isn't so popular in the US, and other parts of Europe.


    When I mean 'isn't', that sadly translates to 'disliked'. Tingle isn't well received by western audiences, and is partly because he is seen more as a stereotype than a quality character.


    I can show you one character that is hated on a global level.

    That character, is Jar-Jar.

    Compared to Jar-Jar, Tingle has a lot of stuff going for him.

    Wow, I always thought, y'know, that Tingle was, how to say this...a raging homosexual


    Because that was the damn subtext Nintendo were sending us.

    @ShadowOdin isn't american: There's not a single instance of it being suggested that Tingle is supposed to be gay. He wears tights and does little dances, yes, but that's meant to convey whimsy, not homosexuality. People in America just go into a gay-induced panic at any depiction of a dude who's not appropriately macho.

    The theme for the prequel was 'money'.


    The theme for the next Tingle is 'woman'.


    What's next, 'car', and then 'fame'?..


    ..Oh no, I see it now. OhnoOhnoOhnoOhnoOhno!! I see the FUTURE OF TINGLE GAMING. OH NO!!


    ..Coming soon: Tingle Racing™ franchise, and a Tingle MMO™, both TBA!!! T.T
