Nintendo disappoints fans: 3DS was an April Fool

[albertrealik]

!OH SNAP! Good one gbatemp! I was really sad for about 3 secs and then I got very suspicious and checked the "press release".

 

[WB3000]

Can't say I was fooled, but then again I did visit the homepage looking to see if this year's joke was posted yet.

 

[naruses]

You really pissed me off!!

I was like NOT FUNNY, NINTENDO and then checked the link, hell i was relieved

Good one, Costello

I Flipped a shit when I saw this. Twice as big of a flip when it was first announced. I was ready to flip flippin' flip-flop on that flip-floppy flip of a flop.

So when was Pre-April Fools day created? I thought April Fools Day was specifically for April 1st, Not A WEEK BEFORE MARCH ENDS???// I paid no attention to the 3DS when the news was announced so

Is this common? for people to pull a APRIL FOOLS DAY JOKE ON A NON APRIL DAY? what the helllll?/? I HAD NO IDEA APRIL FOOLS CAN START A WEEK EARLY?

April Fools' Day or All Fools' Day is a holiday celebrated in various countries on April 1. The day is marked by the commission of hoaxes and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, enemies, and neighbors, or sending them on a fool's errand, the aim of which is to embarrass the gullible. Traditionally, in some countries, such as the UK, Australia, and South Africa the jokes only last until noon, and someone who plays a trick after noon is called an "April Fool".[1] Elsewhere, such as in France, Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Japan, Russia, The Netherlands, Brazil, Canada, and the U.S., the jokes last all day.

Oh? It does not state Japan's April Fools Day as a week before April? WELL OH MY ME I GUESS NINTENDO MAKES UP THEIR OWN RULES. WHEN WILL NATIONAL NINTENDO DAY COME OUT HUH NINTENDO? GODS IN THAT BUILDING






Edit: Oh...

Hey Costello, mind if I drag this and your "quote" over to Gamefaqs for the lulz? XD

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Fuckin A, you got me good for about 10 seconds.

Haha nice one, got me for half a second (which is more than most get me!)

 

[pristinemog]

Got me for a couple minutes, I saw the front page, texted my friends then looked at the (lack of) article and had to text them again xD.

 

[Zarkz]

Good show, good show

 

[logical thinker]

-10000/10 Obvious prank is obvious.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

I suppose you guys must've been really low on decent ideas this year. Even the CNET one was more believable than this.

 

[WhyKlef]

I got fooled!! Never expected an April's Fool that quick hence the fact I was still living in March 2010 in my mind...

 

[PettingZoo]

Oh you Costello

 

[kingofgamesgx]

[Bulit]

I'm confused...

 

[Raylene2K7]

Nice try but I would rather like to see Natal beeing an real april fools joke because that REALLY is crap only M$ thinks it will succeed.
