Tingle may not represent what a typical hero might look like, but that hasn’t stopped him from appearing as the flagship character of his very own adventures. In fact, Nintendo and Vanpool were actually working a horror game that revolved around the infamous fairy-loving man from The Legend of Zelda series. Unfortunately, for Tingle fans, the project was never fully realized and ultimately canned by the development team.
“Looking back eight years ago, we were developing a horror game with Vanpool that starred Tingle as the main character,” explains Nintendo producer Kensuke Tanabe. “But that project was canceled due to a variety of reasons.”
Has Nintendo ever made a horror game?
Luigi’s Mansion
Lol. Okay that did actually make me jump from time to time while playing in the dark.
They funded and own Eternal Darkness
This would have been such an interesting concept!!
Tingle is scary enough so I think they made the right call with this one.
Ummm…. Uhhhh….
I don’t even know how to process this.
Yeah, my brain just shutted down as a defence-mechanism.
Hmm… Now I wonder how that game could have been.
…..I need this!
Just make an Eternal Darkness sequel and have Tingle in there in some way, it’ll be a lot easier.
Just check out some other tingle spinoff games
Lol that’s hilarious. Just looking at him makes me shake.
Would be cool if they put his costume In Fortnite.
Are you kidding me?
Canned for a variety of reasons? Is Tingle one of them? Or was he the sole reason it was labeled a horror game?
Well, now I wish it had happened.
Ew, no! If anything, ya need to hire a 3rd party to make a sequel to Eternal Darkness. Don’t waste a horror game on Tingle of all things.
Now if said horror game involves Tingle being killed repeatedly in many horrible ways, sign up me for the kickstarter!
I don’t think Nintendo would allow that on their Kickstarter. lol
But keep dreaming and it might happen. ;)
This would be so much fun on a so horrible and incomprehensive level.
I’m still disgusted that there was never a European (English) release of Tingle’s Love Balloon Trip (if that’s the right title). Because I really liked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland, once I understood the bodyguard system and how it worked.
Just thinking about that whole idea is just wrong. “Tingle’s Spandex Is Marvelous the game” Join tingle to explore areas with jump scares and hidden secrets to find tingle’s missing spandex outfits with vocals provided by George Takei as tingle. rated F for fucked up.
He looks like that youtuber FIlthy frank.
Would be cool if we can get some game out of it, something crazy and insane.
He predated FIlthy Frank by almost a decade. You’re not wrong about that.
Saw headline. Started laughing REALLY hard.
Reblogged this on Nitwit's World.

There’s your answer! It was Tanabe striking again over this bullshit. Paper Mario fans still haven’t been healed yet fam?
Oh man, this game would’ve been labeled as horror for an entirely different reason! Which makes me wish it had happened even more… Damn.
This would be so much fun on a so horrible and incomprehensive level.
