The hardest April Fools' gags to handle are the ones that trick our hearts, but not our brains. Intellectually, we know that the trailer for Ace Attorney Saga from Brazilian site Hadouken is a gag. Of course it is. But somewhere deep deep down in the secret part of our heart where wishes are stored, we need it to be real.
So, how about, just for today, we all just watch the video after the break and pretend it's real? That won't hurt anybody, right? There wouldn't be any ... objections to that, would there?

The phrase "HD Graphics" puts the kibosh on it.

Yes, there is plenty of this sort of thing that just leaves people heartsore.
I think I'll just try and stay off the internet in general today. (After this)

The "Gotcha!" at the end was a nice touch.

Almost as cruel as the Zelda movie prank that IGN did a few years back.

That was such a good prank...
And it looked so good. I can't help but feel like that movie could still happen.

this is soooo harsh. That video made it sound perfect and you know nintendo could do it too. I feel worse knowing i can never have this

So, I loaded the stiq and the front page loaded in such a way that the hand in the picture was totally cropped except for the finger. That finger by itself is very easy to mistake for... something else.

That's a pretty terrible trailer, even for a fake. Nevertheless, I wish with all my heart it were true :(

Joystiq needs to do more things with their YouTube channel.

It's not really an April fools joke if you say APRIL FOOLS in the title.
You should announce it first, then make an update saying "APRIL FOOLS", then watch the comments RAEG, you laugh, then some of us die a little inside.
That is the true meaning of this holiday.

Well, that was rather poorly executed and unconvincing.

I believe it until i saw Lang concept art and noted the anachronism.

I think news sites not playing along with the jokes ruin good April Fools. Thanks jerks.

Damn, I'd buy that if only it was real.

I concur with some of the other commenters, adding "April Fools" in the article titles kinds ruins the whole thing :(

This is so obvious, since it is already available on the Wii via Wiiware, albeit not HD. Now where's the iPhone version?
Posted: Apr 1st 2010 2:31PM (Unverified) said
Why would they do that? That's not funny.
This is what I hate about April the first.

Not even really an April Fools joke, just a lie. I didn't see a joke in that one.

My fanboy side still hopes to see something of the likes one day...
But not before Nintendo releases their own Natal system and I can not only scream "OBJECTION!", but have it only be effective if I point at the screen. No, pointing the wiimote won't do.
