Can't say I remember that one.

Honestly though, I don't like EGM that much. I just don't like their opinions, and trust me, you can easily define opinions with the reviewers for some magazines.

I like Gamepro and Game Informer much more.

If I had to buy a game magazine now, I'd probably take EGM but it's been a while.

To be honest, you can get all the review information and info via the Internet anyways.

EGM is the worst game magazine. I have a life time subscription to EGM, so I'm allowed to complain.

This is a really shitty Apirl Fools joke. And it's hitting early, in March, when a lot of people wouldn't make the connection that the issues are a month ahead. That really sucks.

EGM is a very biased, sexist, and baneful publication. I don't even want to get into examples because it will make me too annoyed.

The issues have usually hit a month ahead for awhile now, though.

I still remember the very first April Fool's joke EGM did, which was Play as Simon Belmont in TMNT 2 for NES. w00t.

Thank god! People who couldn't stand the bright eye-burning graphics of the original can finally enjoy it now! Oh wait, its fake. Man, they fooled me with Sonic + Tails, too.

EGM is one of the better ones.

Gamepro really sucks.

EGM is biased, yes, but you can generally get a lot of actual info from it. That automatically makes it better than most others.

Heh, he believes it, even though everyone and their dog has made it known its a fake.

I don't like EGM for the simple fact they think Nintendo is heading down the crapper.

The dumb thing is people have thought that about Nintendo since the N64.

Nintendo won't go down the crapper. They're the most profitable company in the running, I do believe. And with their franchises (and the unrelenting power of Pokemon) it's virtually impossible for them to die.

And the original's graphics weren't eye-burning. O.o'' Oy, exaggeration, by any chance?

And anyone who really thought Sonic and Tails were in Melee needs a smack. Thwack.

None says that Microsoft is dying, not until lately Microsoft hadn't done any profit. I think Nintendo only reported a loss once in the past few years. With others companies it's actually not uncommen to have a year where you lose more money than you gain.

Besides, Considering the popularity of DS... sure people say that the PSP sells more right now but the number of the amount of DS's isd double of the amount of sold PSP's in total. Seems like both are going to be succeful side by side.

Kario: EGM doesn't think Nintendo is dying, just that they're losing third-party support (which for the most part is true, so eh). Could you read things before you criticize them? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

Heh, he believes it,
No, I'm pretty sure the "=P" indicates sarcasm there. I might be wrong, of course, but I don't think we're talking about someone with a complete lack of reading comprehension.

Not many, to be honest.

Honestly, I don't think any video game magazine should put April Fool's jokes in, especially if the magazines come a month early. It only leads to annoying rumors and legions of idiots that believe them.

I dunno, I think the best thing Nintendo Power has ever done was that april fool's article on Project M (which was basically Mario's Warp Pipes except in real life). I'm ashamed to say it took me a couple days to realize that was the april fool's joke

Well, actually. They also did the whole PlayStation 2 eats small children thing. And the Smashing.... Live! CD. But... Meh.

Yeah, Nintendo is going down the fiscal crapper.

Regardless of gamer's wishes, once the debtors come knocking when they fail to meet quarterly forecasts, they get fucked over.

And guess what! Investors don't give a shit about Starfox or Pokemon which drags in hardly any money from the most important market: North America.

Bastards. I wouldn't have believed it if it actually was April... Seriously, an April Fools joke on March 8th is just mean.

It depends what you were looking at. The graphics themselves were crappy, and Link made me want to puke. The special effects, however, were quite awesome, which pretty much made up for it. Really, it was the level design that I hated most about that game.

That's the thing. The dates on the side of the issue show when to take it off of the shelves, not which month it's published in. Thus, the April issue is really the March issue. Lots of magazines used to do this, and a handful - including EGM - still do. Not too hard to understand.

I thought Link looked really cool on WW, its a matter of opinion. It didn't matter when the issue came out, its obvious its not real, it looks horrible in that picture.
