I wouldn't put it past Nintendo to actually like this idea.

 

[danh920]

this is a joke right?

 

[Justin42]

heh, you missed the real April Fool's joke, right on the front page-- Guitar Hero Metallica! Geez, they almost had me but then I thought there was NO WAY the GH franchise is being milked THAT bad.

Didn't get me, Gamestop!

this game concept is actually a lot better than most wii games.

I would love to play a ventriloquist game on the wii. They can also give you a dummy for you to shove your wii remote into and play. WHAT A GREAT IDEA!

Quick, somebody check the TIV at Gamestop...

Now let's see how many dumbass parents actually phone in their local GameStops in hopes of getting a pre-order in.

Well, I thought this was pretty funny, especially this part:

• Who’s the Dummy: Play with up to four friends, and try to figure out who’s really doing the talking.

I miss the 90s when April Fool's jokes would actually fool.

Like EGM and the unlockable Shan Tsung prank. Even I tried to unlock him. Good times.
