There have been a lot of gaming April Fool's jokes. Which was the best?

If anyone thinks of anything else. Let me know and I'll add it.

Of the ones you listed, I went Valkyrie Wile [although wasn't that in PSM?]

The Aeris one is just too cruel.

Although the best gamer-to-gamer one is the classic: 'Oh, you didn't beat that game yet? Sorry, I deleted your save.'

Forgot Simon Belmont in TMNT II on the NES.

Aeris dies??!?!?!?!

I always liked the GameFAQs jokes. Couple of years ago, when Pokemon was dominating the most requested list, the site was turned Pikachu yellow and called PokeFAQs. I think last year they went all Xbox and changed the site to Xbox green. The slow-on-the-uptake Nintendo/Square fanboys (lot of redundancies in those last few words) crapped their pants and threw a fit.

Sadly, now that GF has gone corporate, I doubt we'll see any more stuff like that. They had no change today.

I find it amusing that there are quite a few people who still believe it is possible to unlock Sonic and Tails in SSBM.

And while not exactly an April Fools thing, I think today would be a great day to play Eternal Darkness and see what happens when you go insane.

I think the Terrance and Phillip episode of South Park was the best April's Fool prank ever.

That pissed me off.. I was actually looking forward to that episode after I read previews of it.

I liked the Sonic and Tales one in SSB:M, as well as the nude code for DOAXBV.

I was going to do something similar here, but I decided against it.
I was thinking of saying that CAG was bought by Nokia and it was going to only feature NGAGE deals.

I thought the Best Buy story was slightly more believable.

Sheng Long from Street Fighter II. I believed it, especially since no one really did April Fool's joke in the gaming mags.

man i thought the coolest one was last year gamespot ran a story that bill gates had moved from microsoft to nintendo...the story was cool and had a pic of bill with a gamecube logo...i had the pic saved but hd crashed and now the pic is lost for ever

Shen Long...Bastards. THAT got me

so you CAN'T revive aeris?!?
i was always brought up thinking you could've, man, did i get suckered...
