Best. game. ever. Well, 7th best game on DS, at least. Blows the majority of the Zelda series out of water, only Majora's Mask, Phantom Hourglass and Wind Waker manage to hold a candle to it. The game is surprisingly dark, it's essentially about the evils of capitalism. Your main goal is to buy a 'stairway to heaven'. Everyone you meet only cares about the rupees, it's a rather haunting reflection of modern society really. Oh, and it's never coming to America. :D |

Tingle is a hated character in America, NoA decided it wasn't a good financial move to release the game in NA. All due to the results of a poll, I believe. |

If you think Tingle acts like that, you ain't seen nothing... there's a bridge builder in the game that an obvious parody of Hard Gay! Creases me up every time I ask him to do something... mind you Tingle is almost as bad, you see him slip major treasures into his clothes... down the back side if you get my meaning :p Playing this on and off at the moment when I get the chance, currently just about to launch into the fourth area... |

Well, if it's not coming to North American shores, than it's probably not worth the time anyways. |

This is a spin-off cause the genre is different. Like Mario Kart counts as a spinoff too (although you can play as Mario). |

No, it's a spin-off when it's not like the rest of the games, in this case a dungeon crawler, and instead is a shooting range-like game. Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land can be considered a spin-off because of what you mentioned, though. |

Tingle's Rosy Rupee Land actually plays like the Zelda games for the most part. Go into dungeon, solve puzzles, kill boss. |

Maybe after I have bought and beaten Phantom Hourglass. (I'm loving the fact that this is EuroJapan only.  )By the way, Tingle is not gay. He just wants to be a fairy. (And Galactica is not gay either). |

(And Galactica is not gay either). The opening clears up Tingle's sexuality. He wants him some woman. And yes, for the most part you use a body guard to kill things, although you can try fighting yourself(You will die, however, if you go it alone). Bosses are mostly a solo affair. Your bodyguards don't do anything against the bosses. Unless the boss sends out minions, which your bodyguard can clear away. |

My local magazine (Official Nintendo Magazine UK) said that it was not as good as it looked, but then I was listening to you guys so I took a deep breath and bought it yesterday. Clearly, you were all right! It can get a bit hard sometimes but its still great anyway! |

My biggest gripe is the save system. Apart from that, I think the devs achieved exactly what they wanted from this game. It gets a low 8 from me. :D |

I would play a Navi game... I can picture it now, the purpose of the game is to guide juvenile delinquents onto the path of righteousness. And half-way through the game you meet, Gackt. Who you must help save Hyrule from the wrath of Vaati. Fuck yes, you are the best game ever. |
