First game is Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland
Came out in Japan and Europe for the DS.
Some middle age man hears voices, find a old man named Uncle Ruppee who turns you into Tingle and send you on your quest, your quest is to make money, your score board is money, your health is money, you need to donate money to progress, you barter with all the shop NPCs for items, your rewards for dungeons and puzzles is money, and the final boss fight is a shmup level where you ammo is money while you are fighting The boss who is just more money on the moon.
if anyone want to see the Final Boss Fight, Ultimate Money vs Ultimate Money
Second game is Tingle’s Rippen Balloon Trip Of Love, only came out in Japan where its a point and click puzzle adventure / Dating Sim, where a 35 year old guy buys a book off a TV infomercial, gets turned into Tingle, gets sucked in and with the cast of Wizard of Oz Tingle has to go dance with the princess, but in order to do that Tingle has to ask out a whole bunch of girls.
Both are overly sexualized for mainstream US market, the first is kinda homoerotic, the second is just creepy
Edit: in my waifu list I didn’t mention any of the girls from three houses because I still haven’t played it. So I don’t know of any of them. Blythe (I think that’s the main characters name) is cute enough tho.
This is what happens every time I fight a new primal or raid on FF14. I refuse to read a strategy guide because spoilerz so I always end up spirit bonding with the floor or flicked off the stage at least once.
