Valkyrie Wilde - PS1

[chupon]

I just dug up some old mags to read through the rpg sections and found the teaser for Valkyrie Wilde on the cover. Was anyone else fooled by this? Might post a scan of the review page this evening. (PSM April '00 Issue 32 Vol. 4 page 52 - page 51 has a good preview of Vagrant Story) What was the first April fools game review in any magazine? I used to have Nintendo Power issues 1 to 114 and never remember them ever doing anything like the PSM or Game Informer stuff. Any other really great made up news or games anyone wants to post would be great!

It's certainly not the first video game April Fools, but I can't think of a time when a magazine actually reviewed an April Fools gag.

Anyways, here's a link to the preview from PSM;

The first gaming April Fools I can remember was when EGM printed fake pictures of Shen Long in Street Fighter II and claimed you could fight him;

I remember that from April Fool's Day as a gamer I can't stand April Fool's day and usually avoid the internet to avoid it since being teased about Chrono Break/Shenmue III in past years isn't funny...

I'll never understand that holiday. "Holiday".
