@@zacharynovak2180 I agree, while I found Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland consistently boring, but I played a bunch of Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love and had a decent time. However perhaps adventure games aren't my thing because I eventually got bored playing it as well so I ended up watching Vinesauce's playthrough in the background while I did other things. That was fun, especially cause Vinny voices the characters so you don't have to have your eyes glued to the screen.

@@zandernewson9933 I don’t think it’s that deep. Japan is a small pretty homogeneous island, they have different problems to tackle than a lot of western countries, so they have different priorities.

Proximity and relations to china means that they could put in a lot infrastructure for that sort of thing, we’re not getting electric toilets here in the UK anytime soon for instance. When you’re not focused on the same things as a culture you will have investments into other areas and there are probably a bunch of amenities that make your life here in the west a worthwhile sacrifice for satellite gaming

Ancient Stone Tablets is fantastic, by the way. Since it's guaranteed to be a 4-hour game, it's actually one of my favorites to revisit when i need a quick Zelda fix.
I think the Balloon Trip of Love definitely should have come out here. Values being damned, it sounds like a funny game.

The SatellaView cartridge had a separate mini cartridge that acted like a microSD would on modern Flash Carts. The broadcasted ROM, of which there where many broadcasts over single game like Zelda, would be saved on thee mini cartridges. These cartridges were expensive, other than the few that came with the SatellaView, so most where just overwritten with the next broadcast. Except for a few rich fans who actually kept their downloaded copies.. To be archived by yet more dedicated fans later..

Tingle from Majora's Mask + Balloon Fight? Lol. I loved the OG Game Boy Balloon Fight game, I think it was called Balloon Kid? It made Balloon Fight into a side-scrolling platformer game and it was really cool, I was always bummed that series didn't live on, so it's weird to see a Tingle version.
This is all very interesting, especially since they're not listed on the Zelda Timeline in the Hyrule Historia, definitely going to check them out.
Having played Navi trackers myself both in Japanese, with the fan English patch, And then with that English patch updated by a friend of mine because good Lord the original release of it is rough, I can say it's some of the most fun I've had with friends in a long time and it's a shame it never came west

i never really hated tingle, he was just weird to me. "This is a character that exists" sort of thing. Not like i would avoid him, in MM i will happily buy maps and in Hyrule Warriors he is a pretty neat character to mess around with.

Link to the past has such powerful nostalgia in my mind, I could never play an alternative version of it and sully the memories I have of it

I had no idea about the Satellaview. Now I'm gonna have to get those games (copies rather) to complete my Japan region Zelda collection.
Hope Peebs sees this, good Zelda month ideas.

One has to understand: gamers are the worst. The absolute worst. In the 90s and early 2000s, gamers spent most of their time trying to make sure videogames made them look, in their mind, “tough” and “cool”. Games like earthbound, Kirby and Tingle did not pass the muster as being “tough enough” to feed their need to affirmation of their manliness.

Tingle did appear in Twilight Princess but unnamed. He runs the star game in a tent in Castle Town. His mannerisms are eccentric but muted in comparison to normal and he looks more conformed to the look of the game than to stick out in spite of it like in the past
I'm glad to see Region Locked content hasn't completely disappeared from the channel
21:47 Actually, it's likely most of the negative reception of Tingle came from his very prominent role in Wind Waker as a malicious scammer, where the Triforce Quest in said game got a lot worse with having to pay Tingle enormous amounts of rupees that just serve as padding to the game
It's pretty obvious that with those Tingle games they jumped into Mario's territory, one of those balloon modes reminds me a lot on the moon level in Mario Land Golden Coins, and Tingle being obsessed with rupees is pretty much a direct copy of Wario, which is super sad because it defeats Tingles actual legacy, being someone that has outgrown fairytales (Peter Pan)
U never mentioned that the only reason this came to fruition was that gunpei yokois grandfather was on the board of st. Giga and arranged the deal

I've always really liked Tingle as a character because of how weird he is.
I'm always astonished how most of the americans live in a bubble and doesn't know that there are games which are called classics in Europe and Japan, but either only a handful knows them in the US or those getting unjustified called bad. For example *Terranigma* is such a beautiful game and has lots of fans in Europe! Despite its flaws in its leveling system it has one the most beautiful soundtracks, gorgeous graphics, such a rich world full of stuff to discover, a fun fighting system and a stunning story rivaling Chrono Trigger and FF6. But I've heard several people in the US calling "Illusion of Gaia" better since they grew up with it and that's kinda unfair just to see things through rose-colored glasses.

They’re VERY much so playable on original hardware. Either with a flash cart OR “reproduction” PCBs. I’ve produced hundreds of copies of ZAST over the years, with a number of different PCBs and ROM revisions.

Balloon Trip is a game worth learning Japanese for. :D I really loved it and played it before there was a functional fan translation (or at least I didn't know of one that time).
Ripened Tingle's Balloon Trip of Love is actually one of the best games I'd ever seen. I love the story for it a lot, and it's very unique. It's too bad it never got a NA release. I watched Vinny Vinesauce's videos for it. I recommend doing so if you don't plan on playing it. Although, I have to say, I never was interested in Tingle until I watched that series, and now I wish I had just played the game myself.
I think Americans voted against a Tingle game because they weren't aware it was already made. Had they known Japan had this fully realized game completed, they might have been more open to playing it. It was also different times back then. The more niche games really flew under the radar for most people and there wasn't much demand for them.
