Nintendo disappoints fans: 3DS was an April Fool

[MelodieOctavia]

lol I had a whole rant prepared about how nintendo are a bunch of greedy bastards who milk the same product for like 7 years.Then I realised this was a joke,thank god.well done gbatemp

You know, with attitudes like this, Nintendo just can't win. They get bitched at for announcing the 3DS, because they just bought the XL, and people bitch at Nintendo for "milking the same product for 7 years"

make up your mind people

I love the idea of the 3ds.I never once bitched about it,I actually posted in a different thread saying that nintendo are being very innovative with this.I was just saying that if the 3ds was just a big joke id be extremely pissed,as they have milked a very similar product for about 5 or 6 years now.

Meh. Hover told the truth, and what was at the end of it wasn't really good. It would have been better to ape a real press release, it's not hard.

Or..sneak pictures of the DSiXLT with 9" dual screens...

Hehe, there are STILL people who don't realize what day it is.

I think that this is just an April Fools prank...

 

[Theraima]

But they gotta think more carefully, Internet is serious business.

look, I think this is a GBATemp April Fools joke, it just seems rather sudden for Nintendo to announce something like this with legit facts almost two weeks prior to this announcement then turn around and say,"April Fools"...that just seems off to me. Well I guess will see at E3 2010!.

I really hope that GBAtemp's April Fool's joke is better next year.

 

[DeadLocked]

Well done

one thing though was I saw the 3DS news on national TV news so I was scepticle about this prank

must of stayed up all night thinking up that

 

[Zang Li]

GBAtemp is

... I dunno if I cry, laugh or thank God for this being a joke...


April's Fool Hater

 

[DJPlace]

i should of knowen...

 

[lakaiskateboarding]

Lol dude, I was seriously angry for some time at Nintendo, until I thought: it hasn't been on any other site, so it probably is fake.

Really convincing though.
