HAPPY APRIL FOOLS' DAY!
 

2023

My take on the new Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom trailer from Nintendo, is that I feel it's really lacking in the visuals department. Keeping in mind, that the sequel is coming in at nearly seven years after BOTW, you'd expect it to look even just a smidge better. In my opinion it doesn't even look as good as 2016's Breath of the Wild for the Switch. Perhaps they've had to use lower resolution textures due to having a larger sky map. I honestly think that some of it looks sub-GameCube era, with some of the smeary ground textures reminding me of the N64 days. Perhaps they should have gone full on cell style, ala Zelda The Wind Waker. Who knows? Anyway.. it's more of a prediction than an April Fools Day entry, but either way here it is!!..Dual simultaneous Zelda releases is sort of Nintendo's thing. It's likely why they've delayed the development of Tears of the Kingdom for so long. Working on two ports at the same time would certainly explain it.  I imagine we'll get an announcement in the next few months. With MP4 also being a launch title for both Switch and New Switch.

2022

The famous "NES FAMILY" from the NES DELUXE SET. There are many things wrong, aside from an an entire family huddled around a game system, which would never happen. At least in our household. My parents were always telling us to stop playing so many video games, and of course, "don't sit so close to the TV". I went through and documented a few errors that I personally found. There may be more! If you find any please send me a message or tag me on Twitter @MatthewHenzel (VideoGameObsession)

Sometimes we all need to let it out.. Just yell STFU! to someone, anyone, even a loved one..
perhaps, but by all means, when you do this, please make goddamn sure that you do it with VENGEANCE!

I've yet to make an actual April Fool's Day joke with these EGM covers, but I enjoyed recreating my favorite cover from the past, and I've
decided to throw them here.... for now. The SMW, Mystic Defender, Super Monaco GP screen shots were taken via original consoles,
displayed on my Sony Wega CRT. - 2022 VGO
