DS News - Zelda Spin-off and New Wario
No. Really. That is the name of the new Zelda DS spin-off. Well, it’s the rough English translation of ‘Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land’ – and for the record, SPOnG thinks it is one of the best names for a game we’ve heard. Ever.

It’s highly likely though that Nintendo of America will go and ruin the name and just call it something boring instead, like Tingle’s First Adventure Game. That name is just typical NoA, so leave it be.

If you’ve never played Wind Waker or Majora’s Mask, you might not be familiar the enchanting bit-part character, the metrosexual fairy Tingle. You really should go and play both these essential games.

The latest issue of Famitsu has brand new information on Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land, which looks, we are happy to report, absolutely flaming bonkers.

You get to play Tingle as a young(ish) man, aged just 35, before he actually becomes Tingle as we know and love him. A character called Old Man Rupee is your in-game guide, and you are charged with collecting rupees and then chucking them all into a magical spring.

You will also be helped in your quest to gather rupees by a fairy named Pingle on your telly in your little house. It’s all about the bribes in this game – you have to hand out dosh to loads of the people you meet in Rupee Land in order to progress in the game. It’s good to see that Nintendo are teaching young gamers the reality of how to succeed and influence people in the real-life adult-world.

The other big DS news of the week is the announcement of Kaitou Wario 7, the next instalment in the Wario series. It's in development at Suzak, the guys who did F-Zero Climax on the Game Boy Advance.
