http://www.duggmirror.com - xioner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+58The Nintendo On video was a serious bit of work. He must have put a lot of time into making that particular hoax.
- Mimorox, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49They forgot THE SUPER MEGASON IV!!!
http://afrotechmods.com/groovy/review/megason/firingsquad.htm - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47This is about fake game systems. And correctly spelled ones.
- OdepiTy, on 10/12/2007, -11/+54no phantom?

Read the article. . .
"Since being linked on Game|Life, Kotaku and Digg, many are asking why the Phantom console didn’t make the cut.
My original criteria was to only cover consoles that were created purely out of fabrication to prank, mislead or cause speculation. The Phantom, given its history, would be defined in my opinion as vaporware, not an elaborate hoax. I’m sure the inventors of Infinium Labs may beg to differ but hey, they did eventually release a glorified keyboard in the end. That ought count for something. " - DJCult, on 10/12/2007, -0/+37I liked it too, until my eyes burst from my head to find a better host that would treat them well.
- number9ine, on 10/12/2007, -3/+36The best hoax: No working link to the article.
- Snakedal337, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20Nintendo should have hired the guy that created the On video. It really is an amazing peice of work, and one I could easily see opening for the release of a new product.
- ViRaZ, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20I forgot about the Virtual Boy until the video reminded me of it.................still collecting dust around my room, somewhere.
- Propapanda, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22your kind made me sick.
- bIuebonics, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18i love my virtual boy ;P
- Eastlygod, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15More on the making on the On Video - http://www.1up.com/do/feature?cId=3141783
He did most of it in a week! - CrazedGeek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15If you cut the second half of the video off, it's a nice history of Nintendo.
- EvilFerret, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6The Phantom was nothing more than an investor hoax.
- xelloss, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6The worst one was from EGM and their stupid DOA Beach Volleyball hoax where you could enter a nude cheat. DAMN me and my friend rented that damn game, tried the cheat code for hours and nothing... It wasn't until I hopped on the forums and realized that it was all one big damn April Fools crap and nonetheless we did beat the game despite no nude code...
- TheNik, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I think the only part of the ON video that made it believable was the Mario stuff at the end. Still a fantastic hoax, though!
- diulei, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've never seen that On video until now - strange, considering how fast things spread on teh interweb.
Absolutely fantastic job. After that video, he should have been getting job offers left and right. Or started his own media firm.
I've toyed with 3DS max - he made that video in 5 days from scratch. Unbelievable. I could barely make a Yoshi in 5 days. - JohnnyBoy117, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4The Nintendo On looks like a toaster...
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2You forgot AC4
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2The Nintendo logo fly-over scene looks a lot like the citadel flyover from Future Crew's Second Reality.
- UCFMark, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Read the first comment, *****.
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn that PSPboy looks sharp! And I'm not even a PSP fan.
- Elranzer, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Seriously, that little bit of Mario ON at the end looks better than what's coming up in Super Mario Galaxy. It's a shame really. I want classic Mushroom Kingdom action, not a space theme.

FYI: http://duggmirror.com/gaming_news/Just_in_Time_for_April_Fools_The_Top_Five_Hoax_Game_Consoles/ - bvttf, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Irem's Exidna is the most ambitious, and the april fool's was hosted on Irem's site that day. I want r-type final 2! http://www.irem.co.jp/contents/gallery/aprilfool_05/
- tuaregorama, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Dugg that. I'm not impressed. Not even a bit.
- celerityfm, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1dugg-up for the 2 people who know what this means :( [please prove me wrong]
- musicaltech, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0The *****??
Warrning: Don't feed the trolls. - holyskeleton, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1the Nintendo ones badass.
- impedance101, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2Actually the way they started out describing it it almost looked like a big ass plastic *****, (see 2:35 - 2:45).
- CrownOfHorns, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0I tried it too... Damn EGM wasted a day of my life, 13 minutes at a time.
- markdr123, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1I remember years ago a PS2 magazine over here printed dummy pictures of the PS3 which basically looked like a white rounded toaster. People believed it.
- DrWu, on 10/12/2007, -5/+2What, no Phantom???
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0I'm going to call this article the orchestrion, because it just played itself

- Cowtastic, on 10/12/2007, -10/+2odd that they are claiming the ON is fake, Ive got one
and yes, it does hurt your eyes - ArthurSucks, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2http://www.duggmirror.com ?
- asif5th, on 10/12/2007, -10/+1Where's the Phantom?
- stevenlowry, on 10/12/2007, -9/+0Yep its down, try http://66.102.9.104/search?q=cache:xBcx1C-NznoJ:99lives.org/2007/03/30/just-in-time-for-april-fools-the-top-five-hoax-game-consoles/+99lives+consoles&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1
- hartley, on 10/12/2007, -21/+11Too bad the Nintendo On wasn't real. Was I the only one who was slightly disappointed when they didn't release a VR helmet for Wii? All this talk back then about an advanced way of playing, with no real clues had MANY people speculating.
Of course if it did, you wouldn't see that $250 price tag.
I would love to see a mass produced VR helmet made by a game company. It might actually be good and cheap. (cause with VR displays, you can't have both.)
I still contend I would be happy with just a motion detecting helmet and a regular joystick. - musicmantrs, on 10/12/2007, -22/+11Wheres the PS3 on this list?
- Zoids, on 10/12/2007, -27/+9The PS3 is good, it just hasn't got many good games. Resistance and Motorstorm are the only good ones out right now.
- neszis, on 10/12/2007, -23/+5Stupid U key being right next to I. Stupid me lacking proofreading skills. Stupid digg.
- RedStateRetard, on 10/12/2007, -37/+2No Apple Pippen?
