ROFL! That was a relief!
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLZ!!!!!!!
I already expressed that I would not purchase a game system when the DSi just came out!
Not only is the joke on many Nintendo fans but Nintendo themselves!
They may have scared and/or provoked Microsoft and Sony to actually create/release new handhelds! That sure would be funny!
Oh, but that 3D "find the hidden object" game is real, the cart uses an accelerometer much like Kirby Tilt 'n Tumble...so...NO EMULATION 4 U!
->Now you can plainly see why I pirate Nintendo games and no longer purchase them, it encourages this kind of behavior.
GAYYAAHH!!
I got fooled! What would have made this work is if GBATemp said that they have video proof of Myamoto stating it was a joke on Youtube and it links to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ LOLOLOLOL!!

Its not as bad move by Nintendo. It's quite funny. Funniest because of those who get 'owned' the worse by the joke. (ie this site. lol) Plus the score is still ours. lol

Actually, the April Fool's Day joke is the idea of Wii third-party success. Zing.
I'm so clever. Patting myself on the back in 5 seconds.

Aww man, totally got me. Though really, I kinda doubted they would release something this big just to have it be a prank. Nice job though.

They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell". -

@SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme -

A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."+2 -

anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media+1
if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them -
@
BigOnYa:
Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

@BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.
The issue is DRM -
@
cearp:
You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60
