Tingle, the hero?
First things first. Thursday, got my hands on the monthly Famitsu Cube + Advance mag (January ‘06 issue). Yeah, so much ravings on Animal Crossing DS, to the point that aside from a little booklet on ‘how to play the game’, there’s another little notebook specifically for your convenience in playing it… Aside from your profile, and what your village is like, you also get several pages in which to add your friends’ profiles, write down what ‘rare’ items you’ve got and what types of bugs etc. you’ve sighted on your daily rounds… and not only that, you are given a sheet of stickers specifically within the main mag to be used in conjunction with the said notebook.
By the way, the sticker sheet also includes exclusive stickers of Nintendo characters from upcoming titles: Mario Party 7, Pokemon Dungeon Blue/Red, Pokemon Ranger and Mario Kart DS.
Before we get to our beloved ‘fairy’ man, thought I’d bring your attention first to a new product that’s availalbe in Japan. For approx. £2.20, you can be the proud owner of a cute set of stickers (available in Pokemon or Nintendogs) that will, like post-it notes, stick well and also can be used to clean your DS screens. You can easily store it by sticking those stickers onto the machine itself, while because of its stick-a-bility, it can be re-used. Sooner or late some online shops are going to be stocking these, methinks.
OK, Tingle now. He’s known, seemingly, as Tinkle… kind of reminds me of that nasty white cat from Cats and Dogs. However he’s known as, he’s been that weird little man in a green one-piece suit, pretending to be a fairy. He is pretty harmless really (whether dragging a non-family member to help pretend being a ‘fairy’ in Minish Cap was harmless or not, you decide). Now the thing is, apparently there’s going to be an all-new Tingle game out sometime in the future, or so it has been announced. A Tingle RPG. Think about it. That’s all we know for now though, so we’ll just have to wait and see if Zelda or Link’s going to be making their appearances in this game.
