Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland is actually a pretty decent game though .

Anyway, combining the sales of the ports/remakes with the originals does make things look better, but it's kind of cheating . Arguably the only one you can combine is Twilight Princess since that was a simultaneous release (more or less).

I totally would have purchased them if they had released in North America... Just because they are related to Zelda lol. What is the gameplay like?

Kind of cheating yes :D, but there are a lot of people who have only experienced the game with the newer versions. And when games are multiplatform, I know several people (I know they are a small minority, but they are there) who purchase the same game across multiple platforms, sometimes multiple copies on the same platform just to be able to play cooperatively with a family member lol. 

I really wish I could know the digital sales. I bet they are pretty decent.

It's been a while since I played it, but I can say it's a weird game.

It's an adventure game, with some elements of 2D Zelda and even a few RPG elements. There's a lot of grinding, for rupees. Battles aren't action-based, but decided by a roll of the dice (I think), based on your skills and those of an enemy. When you run into an enemy, you'll see a cartoon-style brawl between Tingle and the enemy.

The story is silly, I don't really remember it, but it has something to do with an antagonist that's extremely greedy. He even looks like a rupee. There's one very significant thing though which I like to be canon in the whole Zelda Universe. The game states that Tingle isn't really an individual per se, but it's rather like a state of being. A curse if you will, upon those who come in contact with too many rupees. That would explain why there are Tingles in Majora's Mask and Wind Waker, why he has a regular father in the first, and why there's wooden dolls of him (easter eggs) in other games like Skyward Sword and Spirit Tracks.
