According to <a href="en.wikipedia.org/April_Fools_Day">this IGN article[/url], Nintendo has announced that it is remaking the highly-acclaimed NES classic Urban Champion as Urban Champion: Xtreme Brawl EX QD, a fighting/party game for the Wii. Although no screenshots have been released, and plot details are scarce (although an interview of the game's director, Yuji Kojiamoto, suggests it will be set in Spain), it has been revealed that unlockables characters include Shen Long, Sonic and Tails. Apparently, gameplay will be a sort of cross between Lumines and SSBM, with an aiming system similar to Splinter Cell. Hopefully, it won't turn out like that Ice Climbers FPS remake.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of threads like this today.

Glorb, your URLs are broken. They give away the joke even faster than reading your first post.

Aaaawwwwwww crap. Crap crap crap crap. I'd been planning this for YEARS! Stupid HTML.

Haha. This is why April Fools Day is pointless. You spend years trying to come up with something awesome, and it backfires.

That's a pretty weaksauce argument considering you're only using Glorb as an example.

That would have been funny if the HTML didn't fail. So funny.

Looks like I got you with my own April Fools, because I actually love the holiday.

Glorb: Use the brackets. The brackets!

Hmm...looking back on this horrible failure that shall haunt me for years to come, it has inspired me to create an even better one next year, one so foolishly awesome that even I'm afraid to even contemplate how awesome it will be.

A mix of HTML and BBCode. Good job, Glorb. :D

I also like how you didn't even attempt to edit your post after posting it. Methinks you didn't even care to LOOK at the thread once you posted it.

No, the board automatically converts recognized HTML to BBCode. Problem is, Glorb incorrectly used the HTML.

<a href="en.wikipedia.org/April_Fools_Day">this IGN article[/url]

URLs in the <a> tag require an http:// in front of them. Also, there are not supposed to be quotation marks. The board software recognized

Code: [Select]

</a> and converted it to [/url]. The proper code would have looked like this:

Code: [Select]

<a href=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fool's_Day>this IGN article</a> (he also forgot the /wiki/ and the apostrophe)

Glorb, remember this for next year. I hope it works then.
