(April Fools) Breaking: Nintendo Demos Hardcore Smash Bros. Wii

Note: Obviously Fake.

April 1, 2009 - On Wednesday afternoon in Kyoto, Japan, Nintendo Co. Ltd. allegedly held a private conference at the Rihga Royal Hotel, where company leaders spoke to third-party publishing partners about a new service in the works for Wii owners. Called 'Wii Expand,' the addition, which utilizes the recently-released Wii System Menu 4.0's new SD card compatibility, enables players to download game expansions, modifications and updates. Insiders who attended the exclusive event said that Wii Expand would launch globally later this year, but could not provide an exact date.

Pebz5517d ago

You know what makes this whole thing (people reporting this as fake and whatnot) even sadder? That these videos are actually more gaming news than most of the fanboy flame bait blogs that pass for news on this site.

I get to see mario get decapitated! Total score.

STONEY45517d ago

I would buy a Wii just for this if it was real.

So the April Fools Day joke was revealing something Wii owners want badly?

There should have been at least one Mick Gordon Killer Instinct theme on here.

Rebel_Scum691d ago

Should be some tunes from the first Mortal Kombat in any list tbh.

I really like the use of Mozart’s Dies Irae in Wolfgang Krausers stage in Fatal Fury 2.

azizlksa690d ago

Volcanic rim for Street Fighter 4 is probably my favorite stage theme

Having to do a thing three times would make my list as #1

Jeriphro876d ago

What do you mean? Like doing the same task three times in a row?

BrainSyphoned876d ago (Edited 876d ago )

Ya, find three items, kill three mini bosses, go to three dungeons. Things of three is a tired video game sweet spot number.

For me, it's collect-a-thons. They weren't fun in Donkey Kong or Banjo and Kazooie and they still aren't fun now. Why create these wonderfully oversized, detailed worlds if you are going to just supplement gameplay with ambiguous item fetch-quests.

There are exceptions, of course, But by and large, it just shows laziness on the part of the developer.
Good article, by the way!

Jeriphro876d ago

Yeah. It is funny some of the design decisions made by developers. Another one that irks me is unskippable cutscenes, especially after you die after the cutscene and are forced to rewatch the unskippable cutscene AGAIN. I mean, who thinks that a great idea?! haha

jambola875d ago

how about not allowing cutscene skipping
that's flat out inexcusable in any game in the last 10 years

this comments are demanding a "The 4 Horsemen of The Apocalypse of Game Design Flaws" sequel
