Who actually joked about this? It seems like everyone who said it, save for me and Zexen (if you see, I put a J-O-K-E in... For some retarded reason, and Zexen isn't stupid enough to think it's true).

If nobody else was joking, there's 17 people who fell for it... Shite. (I'm not completely sure about the number, just did a rough read-through).

I wanted to see if I could trick anyone into thinking I was serious. I had made a previous post in the thread anyways

I did the same thing.

It seems you failed.

You should start making more stupid posts. Maybe people would believe you're more stupid than you really are.

This just shows how close to bankruptcy Nintendo was during the Gamecube era. They even had to release games for the PS2 to save their asses.

Wow... That's a joke I rejected.

Let me repeat what I said earlier. It failed because:

-It was on PS2 (it should have been on handheld)

-The franchise is strongly associated with Nintendo

it is weird for that game to be on PS2 considering that NINTENDO OWNS THE FRANCHISE

C'mon, it's not that unlikely. Don't you guys remember the original PS2/Xbox version of Super Mario Galaxy?

You figure you know a little something about your community. You've been around the block a few times, you know what's what and how things work. You think you've got it all figured out...

And then a thread like this comes along and blows your freaking mind.
