Once upon a time, April Fools' Day was an innocent little "holiday" filled with harmless pranks and jokes that never hurt a fly -- or a gamer on the Internet. Somewhere, sometime, however, we seem to have lost our way; at some point, April 1st became a minefield of heartbreaking stories that weren't, and woe to the hapless reader who believed in the amazing port, the desired sequel, or the new game announcement posted by a prankster gleefully rubbing his or her hands and cackling madly from on high.
Consider this a pre-emptive strike -- we're declaring ten things completely sacred. There are some things you just don't joke about!*
*Okay, you can, but it'll really, really hurt our feelings.

Wouldn't it be incredibly mean if red octane let us all know today that there really wasnt going to be on-tour....that it was all a lead up to a really heartbreaking April Fools Day Prank......
Glad you guys arent that mean

I'm honestly surprised that there hasn't been a Golden Sun prank yet.

There MAY be....

Now for the list of announcements we can only hope are April Fools' jokes: Imagine: Babyz tops one million sales worldwide, Homie Rollerz not only exists but stores are actually asking for money in exchange for the game, etc. The horror.
