I don't know for sure if those Zelda pics are fakes but they don't look real if you look at the big picture + they were added on 1st of April. In the Metroid one, I hope what Michelle Rodriguez said about the 'cube was made up because she might just need re-educating *goes to find Michelle Rodriguez's message board*

Whats the point of April Fools' Day jokes if they aren't even funny?

maybe you're just too uptight to find it funny.

are you sad because they made fun of your favourite console? :' {

No, I find a lot of things funny, this was just one of the worst April Fools Day 'jokes' that I saw this year IMO. I just didn't see how it was funny, that's all.
And it's not really my favourite console, I prefer my PC.

I thought it was moderately funny. I bet a lot of other people did too.
It's not like it will actually offend anybody, so why make a post whining?

To be honest those are pretty crap april fools stories. The Metroid one isn't actually funny at all, as it's pretty much exactly what you expect, coupled with the fact that it's so obviously a 'joke'. Dunno about those Zelda pictures - I don't see the point in it really. They're not exactly shocking pictures, just slight composites.

The fact that the Metroid story is so poor is what makes it funny. That and the way it so obviously winds people like this guy up.

Also there doesnt seem to be anything wrong with the Zelda pics.

I don't know why it would wind anybody up. I suppose if you actually believed it in the first place, and also thought that the Metroid movie could actually be good/cared in any way it would.

The whole "cube- for kids" joke is just old and poor. IGN never had a sense of humour, this just proves it.

Ah just noticed, there arent any more pics with them, cus the rest are under "Legend Of Zelda : GCN". Plus it looks like they've photoshopped Link/Epona onto them. The only picture i've seen with the moon, is the wolf one.
