Every game magazine collector knows that if there's a time of the year when you should think critically, it's the day when you grab your April issue of EGM and other popular mags. Once a year, the people behind theses periodicals print either a tip or an article regarding strange stuff in gaming with the absence of one tiny detail: the truth.

Of course they have a perfect excuse not to invoke flames from across the web. It's April Fool's silly! Pranks range from baseless rumors, fictitious FAQ's and cruel unlocking "secrets" that often have players spending long hours of fruitless play on a wild goose chase to obtain items which do not exist.

To make the lies even more believable, the perpetrators even include nicely-crafted screenshots to sell the whoppers. Infamous examples include the "Aeris Resurrection trick" for Final Fantasy VII, the "unlockable Akuma trick" for Resident Evil 2, and of course, unlocking Sonic and Tails in Super Smash Bros.

In this year's EGM April issue, there's an article that talks about an upcoming We (spelled this way on the article) exclusive spin-off of Kingdom Hearts called Mushroom Kingdom Hearts which combines the Nintendo and Disney world in one epic RPG. The details, of course, were pretty shady. The only specific was that Square Enix was publishing it, so go figure.
