Maybe this will teach them that not everyone has time or the toletance for childish jokes. I personally wouldn't have went to such an extreme, but at the same time I can understand people being po'd at that corny ish if it was something that truly spoke to them. It wasn't like a magazine being put out to print where you have to make sure you include it ahead of time or whatever & somebody got a magazine early. I mean given that they are using social media, they could've done this at a time much more in line with the appropriate nature of the silly "holiday" instead of misleading people for however long it was well before it. I'm pretty sure that most are used to these juvenile stunts being pulled, but the fact that this joker decided to get a jumpstart on it to maximize the effectiveness of their sham & his/her amusement at the expense of others was pretty damn cruel as well. People are locked in which means that they're probably consuming more info to cure the boredom & get them by as they are cooped up. Wed 1st Apr dunno how bad it (the backlash) was, but I am certainly more in agreeance with you.Angry Nintendo fans jumped on the post to express their feelings over the prank, going as far as to abuse the creator. To say that the social media post received a negative response would be quite the understatement. The post contained further proof in its replies, with images detailing how it all went down. We faked a Flipnote Studio for Switch "leak" to goof on a couple of small Discord guilds, and needless to say it got wayyy bigger than we ever anticipated. Despite being leaked in late March, rather than on April Fools' Day itself, the prank's creator took to social media to let everyone in on what had happened. Images 'leaked' online looked to be authentic in the eyes of many, and excitement quickly began to grow among those who enjoyed the application on past systems.Įarlier today, however, it was revealed that the whole thing was faked as an April Fools' prank.
