Tingle was first introduced to the Zelda series with Majora’s Mask, but the character had an even bigger role in The Wind Waker. Players encounter him fairly regularly during the adventure, and the Tingle Tuner was a notable part of the original release on GameCube. If that wasn’t enough, there was the Tingle Island as well.
Takaya Imamura had a lengthy and memorable career at Nintendo having come up with various characters like Captain Falcon, Fox McCloud, and yes, even Tingle. Imamura also worked on The Wind Waker during its early stages of development, and it seems that his involvement led to Tingle being more of a prominent character in the game.

LEGO and Nintendo have collaborated over the past year on a number of different sets based on the Super Mario series. Luigi now appears to be joining the lineup.
Despite technically being a toy, LEGO Super Mario received a firmware update this week. Twitter user AyliffeMakit noticed that the character is now calling out to Luigi – something that hasn’t happened before.
Here’s a look:
Experience has shared the boxart for Mon-Yu, which we have above. The game launches this summer in Japan.
The official name was previously announced as “Monster wo Taoshite Tsuyoi Ken ya Yoroi wo Te ni Shinasai. Yuusha Tai ga Maou wo Taosu Sono Hi wo Shinjiteimasu”. It has since changed to become even longer. Experience now says the name is “Monster wo Taoshite Tsuyoi Ken ya Yoroi wo Te ni Shinasai. Shindemo Akiramezu ni Tsuyoku Narinasai. Yuusha Tai ga Maou wo Taosu Sono Hi wo Shinjiteimasu”. Mon-Yu remains the short version.
Super Rare Games is expanding its lineup of physical release on Switch with five more additions. Abzu, Deponia Collection, Inmost, Super Crush KO, and Vigil: The Longest Night will be offered in boxed form.
Most of these releases are self-explanatory. However, Deponia Collection is a bit of an outlier in that it will feature four titles: Deponia, Chaos on Deponia, Goodbye Deponia, and Deponia Doomsday.
All of these games will be sold physically through Super Rare Games later in 2021.
