[TrevHead (TVR)]

I know theres already a couple of topics each with their own joke but I tought i would start a thread to keep everything in one place.

So come on chaps lets see some of the crap youve come across, ill go first with one i picked up from the DS forum.

I thought for sure that Cave releasing ESPGaluda II on the iphone was a april fools joke, but damn if that trailer doesn't look authentic.

That was actually funny. (even if it wouldn't be too far-fetched...)
But seriously. no irem shenanigan this year? They did semi-funny stuff for the past 10 years, a shame to break this tradition.

that i phone gag had me going for a while as it was in a video and cave have released iphone games b4 and i thought i had seen news about it (or another upcoming iphone Cave game) last week. I was like - wow that looks cool! but i was amazed asto why there was no slowdown hehe dint relise until later

Irem is still going? I had always asumed they had gone the way of toaplan and compile years ago. What are they up to nowdays? do they still have their fingers in the shooting pie?

When they're not turning their most successful franchise to an entirely other genre, they publish PSN & cell phone games.

Yes, it's definitely real. News broke about it on March 3rd.

Irem had an elaborate MMORPG ("MMMMUSO RPG") parody called Semifinalist Fantasia up this year. The joke was that it was for Playstation Home, and they just put the project "on hold" and are selling the IP off. Seems like they've taken the webpage down now though. He's a trailer. You gotta wonder what games they could have made by now with all the effort they put into their April Fool's Day stuff.

Not an April Fool's Day joke in the usual sense, but I think my favorite this year was Sam Hocevar's 4/1 blog post.
