The mother of all hoaxes.
The reveal of how much effort he put into it. Can't be mad at the guy.
The mother of all hoaxes.
This is the biggest one for me. It really pissed me off because it was an April Fool's prank, but my friend had the issue in February, a whole month early! Fortunately I only spent about 15 minutes trying before my brother told me it was fake.
This shit from EGM.
Spent months trying to get to that 20 mark before I heard it was fake.
what's this? i thought you could catch Celebi there. i definitely remember catching one there but i can't remember how i done it.Being able to catch celebi in the forest on pokemon silver/gold/crystal.
Being young and really into pokemon crystal as a child, I spent more time than I'd like to admit trying to find a celebi.
It was not possible at all.what's this? i thought you could catch Celebi there. i definitely remember catching one there but i can't remember how i done it.
reading up on it apparently you needed the GS Ball and had to give it to Kurt then you go into the forest to fight Celebi. i did that but maybe I used a glitch/gameshark to get a GS Ball. i definitely had Celebi though and this was way back when Crystal came out.
I'm not comfortable expressing how much time I spent trying to make this happen. Sigh.
yes, i was also fooled by a lot of supposed leaks back then.Nintendo NX
i mean, it's possible it's real, but it's just that their still in development hell and didn't advance enough to show anything, or maybe straight up cancelled it without announcing it, it happened before.The metroid prime 4 logo reveal fooled most people. I knew before the logo even coalesced that it was bull.
Should be illegal to promote a console with software that doesnt exist.
i heard that was real but they later turned it into what we know as TF2, a lot of games go trough that.
Also this. I remember seeing this in a gaming magazine at the grocery store and I could not get home fast enough. Spent hours that night past my bedtime trying to get onto that fucking statue thing. I remember the editor even noted that they weren't able to get it to work.
we all had that experience, weither we watch a youtube video or hear rumors on a playground, or read something in a website, tricking us to believe how to unlock a hidden character or something, it happened to me aswell back in the not-so early but still early days of Youtube (pre-2015)
the video claimed to have found a unused song from Sonic CD, including some convincing mockups of what the stage looked like, i knew the mockups were fake but i tought the music was real. then i found it was actually the song Take It! by Alex Lee.
funnily enough i wasn't easily tricked back then by the many "L is Real" or "PokeGod" style rumors, i was tricked because it was of a supposed leak of a supposed unused thing, wich is way more common nowdays most of the time being real like with the Nintendo Megaleak, then i found out it was an obscure House song, and now im thankful of hearing about it.
so here i am listening to it and it remembered the story, wich inspired me to make this post, weither it's thinking Luigi was unlockable in Mario 64 or that super secret Charizard evolution, what were your stories with this kind of stuff?
honestly this thread was just an excuse to share the story AND the song tbh.
a Sonic JamNow that's a fucking JAM
Actually the demo was real, and ot was created internally by someone from Microsoft. Never released because no agreement with Nintendo probably
when I was a kid I wanted this to be real so bad.
It's still on! Plenty of Wednesdays to come. As a matter of fact, this month there are five Wednesdays, so it's more likely than in a long time!Microsoft buying Sega on Wednesday
