Begin Commentary – Regarding “Ringtales” — no it is not real, although nobody ever asked me anyway. It is an obscure reference to a game that the popular comic Penny Arcade made up. They didn’t just reference it, they drew box art and wrote a glowing description that compelled me to write in and ask why I couldn’t find it. (They let me down quickly and apologized, very sarcastically, for tricking me).
It’s described as “StarFox” with platform and RPG elements, which sounds amazing. But just now I realized that we actually have that game in the form of “StarFox Adventures”, which is not amazing. [January 17, 2012]

My question got answered. I am a happy camper.

I’d just like to say… Awesome.
What?! That game sounds teh coolest. I’d actually buy that one, if it were in the 20 dollar or less bin.
That game would be so sweet if were real. Also, Ringtales!!! Yay!!!!!

Penny Arcade Loves Ringtales!
The news post describes it a little better.
