They've done this before, don't worry. It's just an April Fool's Joke.

Or is it...?

Its the setup to an April Fools joke. It works fairly well since its the day before, some several hours BEFORE April 1st.

Problem is that this one can be seen from miles away, since the third silhouette is clearly SackBoy. It's like explaining a joke to someone; ergo, not funny.

If it's just (likely) a joke, they should have just done a fake trailer for Cat Girl Without Salad 2 instead.

WayForward have done this before:

And doing it the second time is less funny.

Doing an april fool's joke on the 31st? WF is ahead of the game.

The fact that they worded it similar to joker's trailer makes it out to be smash, but then there's sackboy in there.

What are you talking about Sackboy isnt that significant compared to the others. Its a silhouette trick where its other characters posed in a way to resemble Pikachu, Pac-Man, Piranha Plant and Sackboy.

I mean, if it was meant to be a convincing fake Smash announcement, Sackboy wouldn't be in it, since the rest are confirmed characters.

Also, these sihouettes seem awfully cramped to fit in one-time characters in there this time.

I would chat up something about Shantae, but I have to be getting back to playing Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS.

I'm back after 2 weeks. I heard about the Shantae 5 announcement and I am very excited to hear it's coming out this year. :colorful:

Also, I've been replaying Pirate's Curse on my Switch recently and I've just beaten Squid Baron and about to go to Mud Bog Island which, was really annoying in my last playthrough of the game. I won't be looking forward to revisiting that level once again.

My body is Reggie for April Fools. Nintendo's strangely devoid of jokes beyond Splatoon Island so far, though.

Also, this here is no joke:

It sounds like WF has an uphill battle ahead of them.

Having to finish a 2.5D game isn't easy to complete since that is more challenging compared to sprite and custom used artwork games. Hopefully its better once its done, always have the benefit of doubt regarding current demo.

I got mine a week ago so hopefully you'll get your's soon. I think they order the game in batches.

Did you get just the game or the game and all the extra stuff?

Especially one that they had to adopt because the guys before them couldn't finish it. It's like being assigned as someone's lab partner in the middle of a half-finished science project, after the other person that was supposed to be their partner decided to play hooky. You barely have time to be informed about what you got into and gotta wing it as best as possible.
