Video: Hmm, This Nintendo Direct Presentation Sure Is Suspicious

Yes! I'm so happy! I've always wanted to try out so many things just announced! Witcher... Red Dead Redemption... Fallout... all hell yeah! What a year to be alive!

April's Fool, guys. 😛
Btw, since when there will be a lot of snapfingers like that. 😆

<s>What a time to have a Switch!</s>
Actually would love to have many of those though...

WAYNE KNIGHT'S EROTIC PINBALL OH MAN

That was great haha. Loved it when the Wii Shop music started and things started to get crazy.

Worst direct ever. Nothing exciting coming at all.

Facebook: Game Of The Year Edition 😂😂😂

I'm really looking forward to Donkey Kong Divorce Cruise and The Real Housewives of Orange County & Knuckles!

The pace of the video really got me.
When you start to think it's just a safe sketch not daring to exagerate... it goes so crazy so fast that it's a real trip XD

Hahahaha this was hilarious. Carmax coming to switch! Wouldve been better if they ended with " wait we have one more announcement " and it was mother 3

I'm looking forward to Attack Of The Clones. I can't wait to relive all of the amazing dialogue on the go!

Dungeons and Brazzers lmao.

Obviously Arby’s wins in Denny’s vs Arby’s Extreme. They just throw some cardboard art at Denny’s and instantly destroy them.

I don't mind really obvious jokes like this. The concept of this holiday still irritates me, though.

Fake what do you mean no Hotel Mario

With so many announcements (as is expected when you announce EVERYTHING), you know many people will bookmark this video anyway. Just in case. We all know there's one game there that will actually happen this winter.

And we all know it's Big Rigs.

No Zelda’s Adventure?!? I’m selling my Switch!

The video was genuinely funny and well made, but now I find myself wanting to play Ocarina of Time on Switch (even just a straight N64 emulation would be fine). It’s kind of funny how you can play FFVII on Switch but not Ocarina of Time.

Lol the first 2 came across as sincere. I'm confused.

Even in this crazy world Goldeneye is still not an option

@Fuz its already on Switch.... (Twice including SP).

@ryancraddock Where was NL's April Fools joke this year? I was looking forward to seeing what you came up with!

Mike Piazza's Strike Zone!!! I can die a happy man!!

I'm especially excited for TurboTax , finally! Although would have preferred on New 3DS .

Everything is here!

No Half Life 3?

Not really an April Fool's guy but this was a fun watch still, I laughed. Bravo.

Excellent stuff!!

@ryancraddock Oh well - there's always next year!

Such a cruel joke😭

"But no Waluigi" said the internet.

This was amazing!

Haha, pretty good mock video. Btw, if we could get every Zelda game on the Switch, I'd gladly sidestep all the trash like Fallout 76 on the eshop.

Tomorrow IGN getting sued by Nintendo. LOL

Someone should use CG to bring Iwata back to the Direct show next year.

Still no Knack 2...

Dungeons & Brazzers? Somebody should make a real game out of this title. Also - Big Rigs for Switch? - finally!!!

Can't wait for The Real Housewives of New County & Knuckles!

«Zelda: Wand of Gamelon».

Omg LOZ faces of evil AND wand of gamelon......is the switch capable of even running those fmv cutscenes and CD quality of music 😵
My god......

The weird moment when FFVII is on Switch but OoT and MM aren't. They didn't even do anything for OoT's 20th anniversary.

I died when Fallout 76, 77, 78 and Fallout 2016 edition showed up

I wonder how many of the games in the semi-serious first part of the video may actually make it to Switch.

My favourite Nintendo Direct ever. I mean, everything is always better.

I fear this may actually happen

...I hate this day.

That was beutiful

At least this made me laugh.

No Metroid Prime 5?

Metroid is dead!

@ryancraddock In response to post #30, I for one greatly appreciate it. Not a fan of the nonsensical April Fools', but I suppose you'll find plenty of other people who enjoy it. Still, I hope the trend of not doing fake news for April Fools' continues.

Wow! SO COOL! WAND OF GAMELON! nah nobody liked faces of evil...

Even though I knew it would be an April Fools Day prank, there are quite a few of those Zelda titles I wouldn't mind playing on the Switch. DS and 3DS ports probably wouldn't be too hard to convert. Still, it was nice to see them roll out something.

Dumb, and lame.

4/1 should be an internet-free day for me

I dont check IGN.com as much these days, but this reminded me that their April Fool's sketches are usually solid, if not, great.

Of course, the best April Fool's pranks are the totally fake things that become real. We need more of those!

there is no way everything listed was a joke would put money on Nintendo being involved in this joke, but which ones are real is hard to call.

Interesting fact is that switch can actually handle all of these games(exept RD2 ) idk laugh or cry. Worst april 1 joke ever !!!!

Dungeons & Brazzers on Switch is ok, but it’s nothing compared to the table top version. I have an entire basement set up as a Dungeons & Brazzers game room.

Sometimes the real thing just beats the digital version.

April fools day used to be pranks had to end by 12pm. This doesn’t work in an Internet age where 365 days a year people are trying to fool us.

Personally I don’t mind a silly send up as long as there’s no malice behind it. IGN are having a bit of fun without trying too hard to deceive people. Good job.

@ryancraddock

Noooo!!!!

The Wii had all the Zelda games up to that point, (including GameCube backwards-compatibility) aside from the Game Boy games.

I wish all Zelda remake/rerelease announcements from now on were just jokes.

@Vicki_S Nintendo's probably saving OoT and MM as NSO exclusives years down the line. I think we'll see each new year of NSO have a new console (i.e. year 1 = NES only, year 2 = SNES only, etc.)

Lol this is cruel

EVERYTHING IS AWESOME!!!

@GyroZeppeli Thanks for the Arby's support! I currently work there and absolutely love it. 😊

Although fake, this is convincingly high-quality! The editing, graphics, transitions, and overall presentation elements were nearly flawless.

I was genuinely in tears for like the whole last minute of the video. That was ridiculously funny. One of my favorites (funniest) was actually Comcast Customer Service, for whatever reason.

All the Zelda games?! I’m crying!

Wait, no Seaman port? That does it, I'm boycotting Nintendo.

I can't wait for the Ace Attorney/DK Divorce Court crossover!!

Fantastic try.

Loved it

@ryancraddock So you're saying that Darksiders review wasn't an April Fool's joke? That's clearly a 12/10 game.

Hm. Neat.

I guess...

@ryancraddock Thank you. I was really glad that you had a repository story for most of the mediocre aprils fools stories and I think you've called out the "good" ones in their own articles. It was nice to come here and not deal with the garbage.

This one did make me laugh.

Funny, but actually could be not. Seriously, Nintendo, please bring Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker HD to Switch. Those games deserve much more platform space than have received.

Everything is coming to Switch? Okay...(insert lewd body parts) is coming 5o Switch, plus my mom...is coming to the Nintendo Switch LOLOLOL! This video is one of best April Fool's day jokes I've seen yet, minus the one that Iwata presented a couple years ago (R.I.P)

“Playing on the common act of port-begging, which we see on a near daily basis from fans who want literally everything on Switch”

Inb4 “Well akshually it’s not really portbegging because we don’t literally get down on our knees and work the buccinator muscles”.

SNAPS INTENSIVELY

@NintendoByNature I think they intentionally did that as the hidden joke here...omitting Mother 3.

...because at this point it's a professional sport to say no to that.

I know this is a joke but that doesn't mean that the Oracle games should be given the Awakening treatment.

Now that was funny!

Really wish the Half-life 2 was real though

Got to say, I was wounded when I realised this was a joke. I was so excited to be playing Ocarina of time, Mario 64, Mass effect 1 and MGS2 on the move. That hurt, real bad 😢

Lol, I like how Super Mario World was announced in the middle of all those 3rd party games. 😂

It was good I must admit. I liked particularly The Legend of Zelda games introduced to Nintendo Switch !!

Hahaha I love this. It started so slow, but was worth it... Dungeons and Brazzers is a day one purchase. Twice...

Ever game ever when they said that meant every bad game ever, I was laughing my head off lol.

VIRTUAL CONSOLE

Fake, they forgot half life 4

They should've said Mother 3... UNLESS!

Still, this was awesome! Are they allowed to use all those logos, though?

IGN always goes big with their April Fools videos. Remember the super convincing Zelda movie trailer that many of us fell for back in 2008?

Good stuff.

That guys fingers cramping up at the end was priceless.

Can’t wait for Comcast Customer Service!

Should have used Half-Life 3 as the punch line.

@Anti-Matter No sh**, Sherlock. Not like we didn't know that or anything...

By the way: it's April Fool's Day, NOT April's Fool Day. It's a day for MANY fools, not just one.

Dungeons and Brazzers? Hahaha, I wonder how many people on here will get THAT reference...

I sure love punching down on Switch owners for the sake of a gag that uplifts owners of the other consoles!

Hee hee hee. XD

That was awesome.
Oh and I would definitely buy Wayne Knights Erotic Pinball.

This one got me real bad though.
https://www.vooks.net/exclusive-rare-returns-to-nintendo-with-rare-replay-64-collection-with-goldeneye-007/

@NintendoByNature That’s because everything EXCEPT Mother 3 is coming to Switch

Sorry but Nintendo should be porting Switch games to the PS3.
That is the console that already does everything, and it did it a decade ago, don't you guys remember?

For reasons I'm not going to detail here, I needed a good laugh today.
And boy, did IGN deliver. I didn't expect such comedic talent coming from them, but hey, it's always the ones you least suspect.

When the Direct started going insane, I was already shaking with laughter. I love it when this (admittedly stupid) tradition, as @Ralizah pointed out, actually results in legitimate comedy.

@Anti-Matter
Paging @ThanosReXXX here.

@ThanosReXXX
I did get that reference. Because... science.

I loved the Wii Store music. We really need to bring back the Virtual Console.

So... No Wand of Gamelon then?

Sigh. I hate April Fool's Day.

It's only port begging if it is for the Switch though. If Sony fans want a game, or Microsoft fans want a game, it's a perfectly reasonable request. Nintendo fans want a game and it's begging.

But Everything is already on the Switch.

@Obito_Sigma

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, mind blown

@AlexSora89 Science?. . . Science does THAT, I'm suddenly intrested in science. . .

@Grumblevolcano That’s what I figure too, but you have to admit it’s funny to have FFVII and not those two on a Nintendo console.

It’s pretty ironic that Square and Final Fantasy came back when Nintendo went back to using cartridges when the cartridge format is why they went to PlayStation in the first place. Then, all of a sudden, we get a barrage of Square Enix (except Kingdom Hearts 😕) and Final Fantasy.

this direct was a disappointment.
i mean, where's the announcement of a New God of War and Ape Escape for Playstation Switch?

That was absolutely hilarious. There's actually a laughter tear next to my right eye as I'm writing this.

I almost want to believe it until I see Nintendo Switch Emulator and Pokémon Metal. lol. BTW, I still hear the snaps till now.

@GeeEmm I find their omission of Goldeneye to be sad but true. They could put all the games, but GE would be missing.

Hopefully we get Perfect Dark.

Wow, I can't wait to get Nintendo Switch Simulator on Switch.

@ILA01
I mean, the AO-movie industry sometimes gives us stuff that - "fun times" aside - stays more true to its source material than any other adaptation. For example, there's an actress who chose her stage name after her favourite fictional heroine: April O'Neil. She's been in the, er, business since 2008, as the very NSFW "mammary" wiki's own article on her attests; fast forward six years and guess who's been chosen to play the actual character in the TMNT parody. And, against all odds, she resembles the 1987 incarnation of her way more than Megan Fox does. Check out the left side of this image for a direct comparison:

Omg i was in tears lmaooooo

@AlexSora89 Why does Anime April look cuter than Megan or the other two? And why does nearly every fan of TMNT call Rise crappy when it's pretty much one of the best animated shows and only pure action shows currently on TV this year? Just one of my few pet peeves.

I already knew it was a prank, but you reminded me that we will never have a Red Dead redemption 2 port. Or Overwatch.

@Dakotastomp
Because Rise has the same problem Teen Titans Go has.
As the Nostalgia Critic put it best - it's about not the comedic retool per se, it's just that any line could be said by either team member without it making a key difference. Why? Because the plot's demands require the joke to be delivered no matter what.
Keep in mind that The Big Bang Theory, itself a reviled comedic show, once turned a heartwarming moment into a laugh riot with one single line:
"Oh my God, Howard... it's the most beautiful thing I ever heard...! And it came out of you!"
And that, right there, is how important the context can be to a joke. Now let's get back to Teen Titans Go: one of the Titans says something about "today it's [x] day!", complete with full-screen text spelling it out. Who said the line? Who cares, as long as there's one joke we can drag throughout the entire episode? Sure: Robin's the control freak (no relation to the actual character), Raven's the lonely freak, Cyborg's the party animal, Beast Boy's the vegan and Starfire's the clueless, all-loving Pollyanna, but that's as far as their characterization goes.
And, judging by what I've heard, that's the exact same problem many people seem to have with Rise of TMNT.

As far as I'm concerned, though, I'm focusing my animated needs on DuckTales 2017, which never seems to drop the ball in any occasion so far.

@AlexSora89 Yeah, like back in the day with swearing to want to read mr. Heffner's monthly magazine for the in-depth interviews...

@Lord Aw, come on now. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Give yourself some more credit. You'll do better next time around...

That was pretty cute, and entirely unlikely to generate false headlines anywhere. ^_^;;

Where's Metroid Prime 4? Where's Persona 5? Where's MHW? Where's Halo? Terrible direct. Nintendo always lies. They keep saying that EVERYTHING is coming, but they didn't list ANY of the things we keep telling them we want. Why does Nintendo hate money? Nintendo needs to start listening to their fans, or they're going to end up like Sega.

@AlexSora89 "Heard" being the key term in this statement. Because from what I've seen, it's a lot more than just a comedic joke every other line. There's a backstory to their origin, Shredder is beginning to show signs of showing up, and The personalities are fun to see. Leo no longer being a stick in the mud is nice to watch, Raph not being such an angst riddled S.O.B is refreshing, Donnie is now cool as much as he is smart, and Mikey doesn't annoy the hell out of me anymore. Yes, they're not as serious, but they're young and Will get their act together once The Shredder curb stomps them in their inevitable battle. Plus, I was never into it for the drama and backstory, because for me, it's just Turtles who are mutated and know Ninjitsu, not something as actually serious like Wolverine or Fist of the North star. This one's fun and at least stays true to the team being heroes like the 80's version. Why not enjoy it?

Also, I take what Doug said with a very little grain of salt since its just his criticism like mine. I guess it just depends on preference.

@nintendolie If they can use CG to bring back Princess Leia and Grand Moff Tarkin, why not?

@ThanosReXXX
Actually, Playboy articles detail a lifestyle that's way out of our collective league, which is a huge turn-off. Which is why we tend to go back to the pretty pictures.

@Dakotastomp
Wait, Shredder is "showing signs of showing up"? Isn't he, like, the main antagonist in the franchise? Goodness...

@AlexSora89 Instead of just jumping into the conflict of establishing him as the main villain, this version is building up the anticipation for this Shredder like they did with the Avatar's Firelord Ozai. Seriously dude, I don't know what else to tell you other than to keep an open mind since this is a new beginning, or keep watching Ducktales.

I mean, c'mon, bruh. Their still young inexperienced kids. They have time to develop. Didn't you use to not take things seriously at 13? You can't expect the whole thing to develop into some epic ninja drama overnight. That's what Naruto and Samurai Jack are for.

@AlexSora89 Truer words have never been spoken.

@Dakotastomp
You had my curiosity, now you have my attention. I'm not ruling out giving the series a whirl anymore - I'll catch it when I catch it.

@ThanosReXXX
Thanks, titanic pal. After all, the Playboy lifestyle being kind of messed up was brought to attention when, in the actually-good-later-seasons Simpsons episode All's Fair In Oven War, Bart found a... eh, Playdude issue that had everything but the pictures, and ended up picking up a lifestyle that was not intended for a ten-year-old. Suffice to say, it led him straight into a dad-son talk about intimate fun times.

@AlexSora89 That's cool, but I must warn you, so far most episodes are one-off adventures, and if you're going to be watching for the Shredder, start with "The longest fight" and please hold out til the end. Glad you're giving it a chance instead of labeling it zoomer trash like most fanboys.

@Dakotastomp
Well, it helps that - contrary to Teen Titans GO and DuckTales 2017, two reboots that are each other's antithesis - TMNT already has had many interpretations throughout the years, so they could take more risks.

Honestly if they would of post a game I would want I will be raging
