This is clever. :) Anyone remember the advertising campaign for that film AI which had a ring of various fictional websites forming a fictional backdrop for the world the movie was set in? No, thought not. But here's something similar that may intrest you.

Take at look at the site. Notice anything.. like the shape of the logo? The link to Orbis Lab's with their suspiciously familiar new weapon they're prototyping? The familiar aliens in the grainy videos? The name of the scientist? The Oakley glasses that could be a visor in it's infancy?

Nintendo are being very clever methinks. Very clever indeed.

"All your base are belong to us."

I thought everyone knew that. It was some geekish obsession on i'internet. And still genius.

Which is exactly why I think it is Nintendo. And don't you think the illiteracy is just irony?

Oh and gerrid, I think it just could be a coincidence. It seems you're the only person in the world who actually knows that quote. My guess is you dreamed it :S

It's from the intro to Zero Wing on the Mega Drive and is one of the most famous video game saying ever:


In A.D. 2101
War was beginning.
Captain: What happen ?
Mechanic: Somebody set up us the bomb.
Operator: We get signal.
Captain: What !
Operator: Main screen turn on.
Captain: It's You !!
Cats: How are you gentlemen !!
Cats: All your base are belong to us.
Cats: You are on the way to destruction.
Captain: What you say !!
Cats: You have no chance to survive make your time.
Cats: HA HA HA HA ....
Captain: Take off every 'zig' !!
Captain: You know what you doing.
Captain: Move 'zig'.
Captain: For great justice.

Because A: Nintendo aren't illiterate. I mean "all your bees are belong to us"... makes no sense.

B: It is a one page, simplistic site that is way to blunt and obvious.

C: Unless it be Reggie, it isn't in Nintendo's style.

and D: I was informed IGN may have had something to do with it.
