Nintendo disappoints fans: 3DS was an April Fool

[Nookadum]

It is real. It's a reverse-April-Fool's joke.

UPDATE: we apologize to everyone for this lame reverse-april fool! The 3DS is real and we wish Nintendo a massive success with it. We love you, Reggie.

The user of this acount already jumped of a cliff.

Ha, they got me fooled for a while. So it IS true, and those who said things like "Oh thank goodness it's fake, with the DSiXL..." got double fooled XD
But seriously, this one and Smosh's April Fools were the best.

 

[Deleted_171835]

Nintendolife's was the best. I thought the DSi was going to have a Virtual Console!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW !!!
I actually feel violated...in my head >_<
I don't think I'll be able to trust anything [or anyone] ever again

 

[Cluny]

my head! GAAAAH!

This was by far the worst prank ever.
Not only was it extremely obvious, it also had almost no thought behind it. Good job GBAtemp everyone saw it from a mile away.

Not everyone; in fact, a lot of people seem to still be falling for it, unless they're all using sarcasm.

Edit: I used to be a cunt.

 

[Overlord Nadrian]

Nice joke, I fell for it

 

[ProtoKun7]

@nathanking: NEEDS MOAR BOLD.

 

[akuchan]

I knew this was fake! cause this news was actually released ON april fools lol, oh plus the fact that a google news search came up with nothing about a fake 3ds joke.

 

[fermio100]

Got me, good one. Took me a while to understand that it wasn't nintendo playing a trick, it was you. Nice job!

 

[Gunmaster51]

dang you got me lol

 

[awssk8er]

So an April Fool's joke lost tons of sales for the DSi XL?...

Something seems wrong.

 

[DarkShadow96]

I can't believe I fell for this. I saw it when he didn't post the update in the front page haha.

 

[WiiThoko]

At first when I saw the title, I thought "really? What the hell?

"
Then as I was logging in, I realized that it was probably an April Fool's Joke that the 3DS was an April Fool's Joke.
I was right!

I don't wish them sucess with it. I do not find this the least bit funny...

I was thinking of getting a DSi but decided to hold out for the DSi. Now I'm not getting either.

Plus they shouldn't make a new DS, the DSi just came out. Then with a new sysyem we have to wait for it to get hacked. I doubt existing flashcarts would work

 

[Fluto]

imagine this is an april fools prank then again and again ...
DAMN U APRILS FOOLS !!!

 

[sjones900]

............so....It's real?
WTF?!? You guys are dicks! I'm so impressionable... This prolly means I'll believe just about anything then.
My Head hurts D:
