Main article: EGM April Fool's Jokes
EGM is also notorious for its April Fool's pranks, with many readers sending threatening letters to EGM. Their most popular jokes have included:

1992: The legendary Sheng Long code for Street Fighter II in which players had to complete near-impossible tasks all the way through the final boss, M. Bison: Once there, the player could neither touch nor be touched by the boss for ten rounds, but at the end of this period the character Sheng Long would jump into the screen, destroy M. Bison, then challenge the player.
1998: "All Bonds" cheat in GoldenEye 007
2000: The announcement of the new game system Giga Intellivision from Mattel, complete with "Sense Heightening Interactive Technology" (S-H-I-T), which was supposedly more powerful than the then-upcoming PlayStation 2's Emotion Engine, complete with the tagline, "Feel it, Sony". Because the same issue came with the announcement of the mature-rated Conker's Bad Fur Day from perceived squeaky-clean Nintendo, additional controversy arose because many people believed that the Conker announcement was, in fact, the joke.
2001 issue included a small article in which the writers announced that Sega had found a warehouse full of old Sega Neptunes and was selling them on a website. The site referenced redirected to an online shopping site, where internet users were greeted by an "April Fools!" after adding the product to the cart.
2002: Super Smash Bros. Melee 'Unlock Sonic and Tails' code, where players had to defeat 20 opponents in 'Cruel Melee' mode. The prank went widely believed for months, to a point where rival magazine Nintendo Power had to create a blurb to try and explain the origin of the rumor. It also ended in retribution for readers who wanted their favorite Sega characters duking it out with Nintendo's characters, which would seem like a play on their rivalry back in the 1990s. After the prank was revealed, EGM held a contest where those who sent in videos of their 'Cruel Melee' battles with over 20 KOs would win a copy of Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, thus making the prank actually true. In the November 2006 issue (#209), an article named "the BIG ones" suggests Sonic will reappear as a playable character (from the start) in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.[citation needed]
2003: The topless cheat for Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball in which you were suposed to go to a career mode and reset the game while at the same play no beach volley ball and return to the menu and in the suit-selection menu there would be a topless feature, this confused many people, some attempted it and sent several letters angry letters.
2004: A small false preveiw for a The Lord of the Rings Kart-Racer that EGM claimed for it to be one of the first games for the PSP. There was a small clue in the fake game-screen, it showed the lap times that the total time would add up to 4/1/04 subliminally saying April Fools Day.
2005: EGM told readers if they preordered the upcoming realistic-looking Legend of Zelda game (which would eventually be called The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess) they would receive a copy of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker with updated graphics equal to those of the new game, accompanied by a screenshot. Ironically, Anime Insider believed the prank and published a small article telling people about the supposed preorder deal in the video game section, and many readers of the magazine were left infuriated that they had asked game stores about it only to get a puzzled look in return.
2006: A report stating that Apple was making a portable gaming device called the iGame, as well as an idea that Apple will sell games for it. However, Apple now sells games for the iPod as part of the iTunes Music Store, which eventually did prove some of the article true.
2007: A preview for Mushroom Kingdom Hearts, a new game in the Kingdom Hearts series, exclusive to the Wii. The game would star numerous Disney characters as well as those from Nintendo properties such as Mario, who would be a playable character.

I hate to say but the KH on the Wii got Me
Has anyone else been fooled by them or am the only "fool"

Hahaha, Blizzard plays some good fools jokes too.

I love your Fizgig sig. ^^

Yes I beleive the Kingdon Hearts one got me as well. I've seen some weird ones in the past, but that one took the cake.

xp

I got caught by a different Street Fighter joke. It said that if you put in a specific cheat/code, you could get Chun-Li to throw her spiked bracelets at the enemy. Sure, it wound up being fake, but they had screenshots and it seemed logical.
