What Was Your Favorite Egm April Fools' Joke?

Recommended Posts

I just remember two. Both involving Street Fighter.

The first one were some fake pics of Street Fighter 2, like Honda falling

on his pool/bathtub and Dhalsin's head being streached just like his arms

and legs.

The second one was the on you mentioned about Shen Long. Funny story

though. I've never actually see it on EGM itself, but on a Brazillian magazine

that, as most of non US/Japan mags did at that pre-internet times, simply

got all the info from other mags. So far so good. The problem was that

they (the brazillian magazines guys) have never told us on their next issues

that the whole thing was a joke. In the matter of fact, I've just found out

about Sheng Long NOT being on SF3 when SF4 was released ehehe

The one that got me back in the day was the "secret code" that allowed you to play as Simon Belmont in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game for the NES. Drove myself bonkers trying to put in that dumb code to no avail before I took another name at the credits for the trick and read them outloud:

"A.P. Rilphules

Fromegeem, HA"

Properly translated, of course, this read, "April Fools from EGM. Ha!"

Ooooooooh was I mad...
