Freshly Picked: Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland

Information & Features: A shooting spin-off game Release dates: September 2006 (Japan), September 2007 (Europe) Original Platform: Nintendo DS Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released in 2006 in Japan, and made it to Europe a year later, but it was never released in America. It was reasonably successful in Japan, selling just under a quater of a million copies during the first year of it's release. Although Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland may at first look like a party game (and the game does contain many elements from that genre), there is more to it then that. The object of the game is to gather as many rupees as possible, a task which is done through exploration, battling, and completing dungeons. The gameplay not as in-depth as a fully fledged Legend of Zelda game, but it is entertaining. The game was generally recieved by critics as good, but not stellar.
