It's A Joke

Yeah, it's an April Fool's joke. My friend explained this to me on the walk home from school today. I kinda wtf'd at his description and the name. Mushroom Kingdom Hearts..

Platform: Wii
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Square Enix
Release Date: 2008

Admit it- the origional idea for Kingdom Hearts was absolutely absurd. A role-playing game featuring characters from Final Fantasy and Disney? Hell, that's about as asinine as combining Legos and Star Wars (wait- scratch that). But the only dumb ones were the ones who doubted it'd work - the unlikely combination actually touched a helluva lot of gamers' hearts. So now that we're used to seeing Mickey Mouse and the rest of his cartoon clowns muck it up with the FInal Fantasy crew, we thought we'd seen the last of these oddball pairings. Boy, were we wrong - publisher Square Enix is ramping up a radically new Kingdom Hearts sequal... only this game isn't set in under the sea, but rather under the pipes of the Mushroom Kingdom. We don't know much of the juicy deets right now (all Square Enix gave us was this early logo) but we were able to squeeze out some helpful intel. First off, Mushroom Kingdom Hearts is a Wii exclusive and will feature a cast of over 41 Nintendo characters. Not only that, but it will also feature Sora, Mickey, and a flock of other favorites from the first two Kingdom Hearts. And as far as the story goes, all we know is Mario will get his hands (and feet) dirty hammering down on the Heartless... oh, and apparently some princess needs saving, too."

Could you imagine how awesome this would be though? Maybe this prank will give them the idea to actually make something like this.

Besides, we all remember what happened last time Square made an RPG with Nintendo characters.

It's a joke. Sorry to burst everyone's bubbles.

41 characters are said to be coming to the game. 41=4-1. April first.

Dude. It's a joke.
Dude, it's a joke.
D00d. J0ke.

I said it (somewhat) as a beat-the-point-home, but also because I didn't feel like reading through anyone's posts on something I knew to be fake.

And it's 'knew.'

[Edit:]

And I didn't mean that earlier post in a malicious way. I wasn't intending to call anyone dumb for believing it, just stating that it was, in fact, a joke.

It would be really stupid if it was an April Fool's Joke that this was an April Fool's Joke.

A plumber takes one more step in the hero's journey and becomes the chosen keyblade master? Let's add Mario to be the next Batman while we're at it.

The Mario artwork is honestly being overlooked.

If Mushroom Kingdom Hearts did exist, Square Enix would make Mario bad***. It worked with Mickey.

It still doesn't explain the title called Super Smash Bros. Murder scheduled for release on October 4, 2012.

I wouldn't be surprised it turned out to be just be another April fools trick because first of all, the hat that Mario is wearing doesn't look like it's his and doesn't even have an M!!! second, it said that it would have more than 41 characters but doesn't it stand out as 4/1 which is April fools Day?... third, Mario's looks face is ackwardly strange in seeing that he doesn't look like he does in other games. I know some bozzos are gonna fall for EGM's April Fools trick like Sonic & tails lol..

I think it's mostly a subtle joke to play on all the n00bs who want Sora in brawl.

Super Smash Bros. Murder would have been a good joke... provided that it even IS a joke...
