Freshly Picked...

The title of the best, craziest game ever is "Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy-Colored Rupee Land", of which I should be getting my copy this afternoon. Unfortunately, it came out in Japan only like two years ago, then a full English translation version came out in Europe a year or so later... so why was it not released in USA? Who knows. But this *rare* import game cost me circa $80 to import, $60 for the game and $20 for shipping. Expensive!
But anyways. Do you realize that Brawl would come out in a short week and a half, if it was not delayed AGAIN?! AGGHHH now I really want to revolt. Today urb and myself had a project to find out which "basic" human rights should be allowed, we came up with the "right to revolt" and he added on the back "the right to SMASH". He's odd at times. Then we came up with a new art style.
And that was all that has happened so far today.
Ike in Brawl is going to be cool, I'll be either him, Olimar, or Link first. Or Samus looks good too... urb is Sonic so I can't do him. Darn.
Anyways, since reading urb's stunning review of Link's Crossbow Training (in which he failed to mention my awesome highscores-- I'm able to get the platinum medal on the first level in most stages). Continued almost a week later--
Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland: (I'm doing two ratings: Out of 10, and also Out of 5)
9.0/10, 5/5.
Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland, (or as I'm going to abbreviate it: FPTRR), first and foremost, is a pretty good game. Not only is the main character a weird little foo, but he's an adorable cute little foo, with a side cast of other cute little characters. Except for Pinkle (his disgruntled assistant). The game follows the exploits of Tingle on his quest to Rupeeland (money heaven). At first he is a normal dude, then transformed into Tingle by the shady Old Man Rupee, to "escape the daily grind". After that you are thrust into an EPIC JOURNEY to squeeze every last possible rupee out of everything, including your dog.
That is the game in a nutshell, but it's really quite fun. The animations are good and delightful.
That's all. If you like Zelda adventures, you will probably not like this game much, even though it DOES have dungeons and puzzle solving and items and what have you.
