DUN DA DA DUNDUN!
You got the Crossbow! It has unlimited ammo and a chargeable shot. Aim the cursor with the remote and press the B trigger to fire! Hold A to zoom in on your target. Try shooting that red balloon above you to test it out. Oh wait I know that balloon! No wait . . .*shoots balloon* oh crap you're on your own kid.
TINGLE TINGLE KOOLOO LIMPAH!
Why hello there Mr. Fairy! Tingle is overjoyed that he has a chance to meet you! Why what an enchanting crossbow that is! It's the very reincarnation of a fairy like me Tingle!
Do you know how to use it? For a modest fee Tingle could be persuaded to teach you.
. . . . .
Oh you'll pay ? Mr. Fairy you won't regret it! 80,000 rupees please.
. . . .
Oh you don't have that much? Oh well Tingle will do this pro bono, but he expects you to introduce him to one of your strapping fairy friends later on.
The Wii Zapper
Personally Tingle doesn't need such devices Mr. Fairy but you seem a bit naive. Maybe you should give it a shot. It might help your aim.
Here's a link(get it oh Tingle is a laugh riot!) to the wikipedia entry :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_Remote#Wii_Zapper and one for the game proper - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link%27s_Crossbow_Training
I'll include an offical site link as soon as it becomes available.
Game Types
There are 3 ways to play Mr. Fairy : Target Shooting, Defender,and Ranger. Let's go over them in detail!
Target Shooting
As the name implies this is a standard target practice, hit as many targets as you can in the time limit.
Don't miss for a while and you build up a multiplier.
Tingle personally feels that shooting jars, while not building your score much helps you in the long run. In fact hit the jars as often as possible that's an Order from Tingle Sensei.
A variant of this mode is bascally a skeet shoot. Objects are flung and you must shoot them before they fall. Tingle hates this mode with a passion because the targets are far smaller than they need to be.
Defender
Oh no Mr. Fairy our backs are to the wall! Surrounded on all sides by overwhelming odds what are we to do?
. . . .
Yes I suppose we can shoot the bitches up.
In defender you have to kill as many enemies as you can in the time limit. Like in Target Practice your score carries a multiplier but the odds are against you so rapid fire is key. In fact, certian enemies will grant you a machine gun like upgrade. Use it wisely. You can't move in this mode but you can rotate your perspective 360 degrees. Tingle can do that as well Mr. Fairy, in a variety of positions.
. . .
Well you don't have to be rude about it.
Ranger-
They killed your family,took your home and violated your horse Mr. Fairy.
Time to take the fight to them.
In ranger you have the ability to free roam in the enviroment to kill a specific number of enemies. There's no multiplier to worry about so just find and kill those SOBs. Watch out though you may encounter a few foes that are far superior to their underlings.
Multiplayer
Want to own your friend Mr. Fairy? Tingle can show you how! In Multiplayer you and a friend compete for the high score.
Tingle has no friends though so he can't explain this mode in that much detail. Such is the curse of a fairy.
That's all you need to know Mr. Fairy!
Oh!
You can also unlock Platinum medals for scoring particularly well. What happens if you get them all you ask ?
Even Tingle doesn't know!

But at least we're not fatasses.
Looking forward to some Christmas crossbow action. Looks pretty damn good anyway but at that price you'd be mad not to pick it up!
2009 is a year of Updates - one every Monday. Hopefully. xx
25.
It was $20 at Best Buy, IIRC.
http://www.Lupinthe3rd.com
Edit: Nevermind. They're temporarily sold out.
Finally, a use for that $25 gift card from buying Super Mario Galaxy.
Also, the Wii Zapper is like Photoshop.
It's for quitters.
And people that want to do Speed Runs, or some unmentionably horrible things.
EDIT: I was a little alarmed to find myself disappointed only the OP featured Tingle, and not the game itself.O_o
Switch - SW-3699-5063-5018
branching paths
don't shoot the chickens
tommygun crossbow
Damn you America!
Zapper isn't nearly as bad as reviews make it out to be. Also helps me aim like a damn professional
I bet it's a guy
Eh? I'm not american.
It's America's (real or perceived) rabid Tinglephobia that kept him out of Twilight Princess and hence this spin off.
How can you know for sure? And there's actually someone who looks like Tingle quite a bit in TP.
now if only I knew how to unlock those later acts...

of doom
Both Aonuma and the makers of Rosy Coloured Rupee Land have said in interviews that he was out as they believed that Americans didn't like him. We got an homage it's true but no more than a pale pretender to the mighty Tingle throne.
Here's hoping Tingle's Rosy Whoopsie Land did well enough to continue the planned spinning him out of the Zelda series main into his own projects so everyone can be happy!
You are RUINING my love of Link's Crossbow Training.
This game should bring some good old high score competition action. Do we still have that PA Wii Wiki kicking around anywhere?
Tingle keeps out of Zelda threads (except whether actually relevant, like Wind Waker) and I keep out of Tingle threads.
Seriously, though, I've only done the first 4 (12) levels, but this is an awesome pack-in.
That being said, I can't wait to purchase this game!
I was going to put pics but I'm a bit wary of the size limit. I'll add a few if you guys want.
Edit
Pics added. also added the Youtube vid provided by UncleSporky.
EDIT: Also, another cardboard sleeve....I want plastic dammit!
W...why don't you just switch hand positions?
that seems to imply theres actually people somewhere who do like him...And I can't believe that or I would finally lose all hope for humanity
Cuz then you have to hold it on the other side of your body. For a righty, you're out-most hand should be the left. If it were the right hand, but still on the right side of my body, I can't tell you how uncomfortable that would be after 2 minutes.
EDIT: Hmmm....maybe I'm only considering propping it against my shoulder, and forgetting it can be a Tommy-gun.
it's true. I had to put my right hand forward as it felt awkward using my left hand on the trigger.
I would have hoped that you could change the trigger button to one of the nunchuck buttons so that it is more like a real gun
!!!!▓▓▓▓▓Gravy?▓▓▓▓▓!!!!!!
!!!!!!▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓!!!!!!!!!
of doom
it is a gun that, for some reason, you hold the butt of.
think of it that way.
trigger hand is dominant hand, butt hand is non-dom
you always hold the wiimote on the right, and nunchuk on the left, no? why would you switch it now?
Because it's ass-backwards.
EDIT: Let me be more specific, as my initial comment looked smart-ass more than anything.
My right hand should be pulling the trigger, and should be the hand closest to me. Yes, I do use the Wiimote in my right hand all the time, but not when it means extending my right arm AROUND the right-outside of gun, and holding my left hand to my chest on the nunchuck like Bob Dole. It's just....awkward.
unrealistic and not very productive. Have you noticed that by using your right hand up front that the motion of pulling the trigger messes up your aim drastically compared to the conventional way of shooting a gun.
EDIT: is it just me or are there too many levels where accuracy and not missing a shot is key for a huge score? Is there something wrong with me cuz I just wanna let them bullets fly like confetti?
!!!!▓▓▓▓▓Gravy?▓▓▓▓▓!!!!!!
!!!!!!▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓!!!!!!!!!
of doom
The trigger being on my forward hand did bug me, until I realized I'm not holding it up to my shoulder, but more like a hand gun, where my left hand just happens to be on the butt.
Anyhow, I wish there were more boss battles, because the last two were awesome.
So far my highest score is 141929 on the last level, but I need to put this down because real life beckons, damn responsibilities.
edit: I actually hold in in the middle of my body, pointing from my crotch, because I sit very slouched down, with a footrest and all.
I wish this was a pack-in instead of the zapper:
This game looks interesting, anyone know how the multi is?
dream a little dream or you could live a little dream
sleep forever if you wish to be a dreamer
