Happy belated April Fools Day to all–Here’s what some other sites did to celebrate it:
SonicNEXT Ran a story on the Sonic Team’s latest title, Sonic RPG.
Sonic Team Junior had a ‘fake’ SRB2Xmas .95 up for download, which was only a joke add-on level, while its parent site, SSRG, ran an announcement stating that the site was sold off to SEGA for $150,000.
TSSZ ran a completely ad-libbed, Pokemon-filled, Off-beat RA News.
Finally, the Gaming Intelligence Agency ran several fake stories, including one that claimed a man in Newark, New Jersey was the last to download the ChuChu Rocket Japanese commercial.
On to serious news, now: The Tokyo Game Show was held this weekend, and Phantasy Star Online and Samba de Amigo were the big hits of the show. We now have some hard facts on PSO, including the facts that the online network will be able to handle 6 billion people, and the fact that the game will never end. As for Samba, we know that there will be new modes in the DC version, and the maraca controllers are slightly lighter and less height conscious than in the arcade.
