A GameStop employee in Montreal mocked up a fake Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD game case cover for the PlayStation 4 to fool customers into thinking it’s an actual game for the system. The employee created the prank in an effort to see what consumer reaction would be like if their was indeed a Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD for the PlayStation 4. I’ve no idea how many people brought this particular game to the till, but it would be interesting to find out.
Thanks, Bia
Blasphemy!
It’s a joke. Don’t get your parties in a bunch.
I love bunching parties!
…. parties?…
Lol glad someone caught that. What a bunch of mormons.
Proves that this one game is better than PS4’s entire library. Sony Ponies WISH that they had a game as good as this to play.
And exactly what library do you Nintendo Fags have on your Shit U? Actually, you kiddies WISH you had PS4’s library.
You’re an idiot and asshole. Stop being a troll.
The guy he was responding to is a troll too but that didn’t seem to bother you.
Nah I really don’t wish Wii U had the PS4 library.
Yeah I’d rather have months long droughts too
“Actually, you kiddies WISH you had PS4′s library.”
…
lolno
Have fun missing out on some of the best games of 8 gen then
It’s funny because I don’t want anything from the ps4’s library.
It’s funny because you seem to think your opinion is the entire world’s
Killzone and Knack? Everything else is on other gaming systems.
inFamous, LBP 3, Driveclub?
ooooh someones mad that there systems don’t get good games LOL! buzz off fanboy
MGS V, Uncharted 4, Bloodborne, The Order, Let It Die LOL!
PS4? What? Killzone and Knack? Multiplatform games that I could get for Ps3/Xbox 360? A system that gets ass stomped by my PC?
Dude your hilarious.
And all dem multiplats aren’t even on Pii U ROFLOL
Both systems have epic titles. I’ll just pretend you didn’t say that for your sake ;)
no not realy maybe if Sony actually new what they were doing they wouldn’t be going bankrupt there also no point in games with no replay value
Yet they had a profit this year ;) try again
PS4 hasn’t been out a year either. This game and Mario are the ONLY ones worth a Wii U, and the sad thing is this ones a remake.
HA! did u forget about pikmin 3, TW101,zombi U, sonic lost world, mh3u, NSMBU, rayman legends, and soon to come out great 2014 titles , now compare the list plz
Yeeeeeeeah 2 year old Wii U vs 1 year old PS4 love how you try to make that punt list look good
Puny*
Seems legit
I’m sure it didn’t really go over that well…
That’s the most evil thing I’ve ever seen :’)
Nice.
SMH @ Sony and the Drones
SMH @ getting butthurt
one of the many reasons gamestop does not see my money anymore.. the employees are all greasy low life loosers and the company is money hungry. what person would go back to a store that for example they just dropped 400$+ on a system and games and they they are freakin drilled to buy more shit or pre order things…? unreal FUX GAMESTOP AND ITS crackhead employees..
Good day…
‘Standing Ovation’
Complete rip off company. Everything they sell is $5 more than everywhere else.
Not all Gamestop employees are like that, quit being so willingly stupid.
Lol. This guy is a gamestop employee!!
Something tells me you applied, but they never called you back XD
So bitter.
So true!!! I was like Kevin spacey in American beauty… So badly I wanted to downgrade to a shit job
Oh well, some other winner got my job
Nope, I’m not.
These employees are just people doing their jobs in order to get paid, that means going along with their bullshit policies. The higher-ups are the reason why Gamestop’s policies are so backwards, and blaming the guys behind the counter for it is dumb.
What a douchebag.
Lets hope Nintendo sues Gamestop, and the man gets fired! xD
For what? What sort of illegal act was performed? This is my different than the modern game boxarts turned 8-bit and put on NES carts. Relax.
Misinformation which in fact is against consumer store policy in any retail business. Get it right.
TIL a prank at a single location is Misinformation on a grand scale. Good to know.
Better tell all those game publication websites that they can’t post April Fools day jokes about franchises dedicated to a system coming to other systems, or games that are clearly not in the works actually existing. We can’t have any misinformation (or fun at the expense of the ignorant).
He said in “retail business”. Stop embarrassing yourself.
Man kan vel si at nintendo vil voldta dem, VOLDTA!!
Uh… there needs to be a loss before they can sue. It’s not even a beach of copyright seeing as nothing was published. You’re allowed to stick a picture on a box…
Guess you’re right, was just a joke. But I would think misleading the customers would be illegal in some way…
I smell lawsuit

im being sarcastic
Yeah, but you KNOW how protective Nintendo is of their iPs. I’m sure they could muster up something under advertisement or trademark infringement… actually, I looked online and Nintendo could have a case based on “consumer confusion.”
Found this definition: Trademark law protects a trademark owner’s exclusive right to use a trademark when use of the mark by another would be likely to cause consumer confusion as to the source or origin of goods.
Would be interesting to see how many people actually tried to buy it.
Probably none. Sony fans don´t care about Nintendo games
Wouldn’t be so sure…
Do you know how many times I’ve heard from not only Sonyans but Xbots fanboys been demanding for Nintendo games on their systems and yet condemn their consoles for the dumbest reasons imaginable? If Nintendo goes down, its because of dumbasses like them letting them die over blindly selfish ambitions. Not only I will quit gaming forever if and when Nintendo drops out but I hope they take everything they created and own with them and for the gaming indistry to die a slow, painful and regrettable death for pointlessly outcasting Nintendo because they think they’re too cool for them anymore but hypocritical enough to wish for their shit to run on other systems.
Do you have any idea how fucking beyond retarded that sounds? Hate on something you secretly like but too cheap and chicken shit to touch em without being judged which is a bunch of crock. If the gaming world insists to think Nintendo doesn’t belong here anymore, why keep bragging for their games anyway? Just buy their fucking consoles then. Problem solved.
It’s the same with many PC gamers. Every other youtube video involving The Last of Us has a comment or two saying “Why isn’t this game on PC?!” or “This would’ve looked better on PC!”. All those dedicated exclusively to one system wonder why anybody would want a different system, then, upon the sighting of a great game on a different system, will cry and whine that the game didn’t come to their system. It’s quite pathetic.
People these days are being too spoiled with multi-plats.
I can’t stop applauding…..
“Hate on something you secretly like but too cheap and chicken shit to touch em without being judged…”
Bravo!
I play my 3DS before company meetings just to show off.
I play mine on the bus, and it sits beside me on my desk at work, which I play on breaks.
I honestly only play my 3ds now. . Once in a while, I’ll jump on Xbox and play Splinter Cell (sorry. Not sorry. I love Splinter Cell).
My NES was the first system I ever played and I was instantly hooked. It made me a gamer. Since then, I have moved on to other systems and consoles. Though, Nintendo will always have the top spot to me. Not just for nostalgia. It’s because they have created characters to love and keep making more story for them. Sometimes silly, sometimes not the most captivating. It does however have me hooked due to my love for the characters.
Couldn’t say it better my self, but watch out for trolls ready to defend their opinions about having Nintendo games on ps4 or Xbox.
100% agreed. I’d gladly watch Nintendo die if it meant they’d drag the entire video game industry crashing down with them just so I can laugh at their haters for dissing Nintendo every chance they got. (But Nintendo isn’t going to die anytime soon anyway, so we won’t know what would happen to the video game industry if they did die.)
Yeah, I rather have Nintendo die with honor than become some sell-out 3rd party publisher, and if that day comes(and let’s hope it doesn’t), we all know who to blame.
give that trolling employee a cookie
Or a termination notice.
He didn’t sell it or anything, he’s just having some fun. It’d be interesting if instead he said ‘buy a wii u,’ Helping us out :P
He didn’t sell anything. Thus wasting paid hourly time by his employer.
I always knew Nintendo games on Sony consoles was a joke.
Donkey commercial should have more comments this is so sad
It’s because people wanted Metroid. Sorry, too bad so sad.
The comercial has no fanboy spark to start flame war thats why.
#FIRED
*there
Now all we need to do is make a Fake Killzone: Shadow Fall on Xbox One to Prank ;D
Would love to see how many people tried to buy this.
whoever did this is my hero
But then you realize that it’s more likely that Killzone will end up on a Nintendo console instead of a Nintendo IP on another console ;)
You mean a “former” Gamestop employee, right?
Hahahaa, poor sony drones, they wish to have the WW, welp too bad
And people wonder why no one knows what the Wii U is. I’m sure this isn’t the first prank… It’s just the first we have heard about. Would have loved to see it the other way around. Why not put Infamous Second Son in Wii U game case and see how people react :P
Second Son sucks though.
Have you played it yet? Also, why did you spell Xbox One wrong again?
Oh look, PS 4 finally has a game worth having.
Wait so those superior third party games weren’t real?
Like Bugfield 4 Crash Edition?
CoD: The same fucking game every year.
Fifa: ———————-||———————–
Or Tomb Raider: The Fraud Edition? (sorry Rich for ripping you off)
What else there was?
its actually a good job as to how he did it. looks pretty real, but it never will be!
if pachter sees this he’ll think he was right, because he can’t read due to being a fucking retard.
That’s the part where you see all the dudes you ordinary see bitching on Zelda going out of the store with the game in a bag.
it would have far better graphics and no 2nd screen … granted, it would have a much lighter controller too.
which would be the definitive version in your opinion? … personally, i think better graphics and a lighter controller would be DEFINITIVE!!!
It would be a port from the Wii U and the infrastructure is different so it would look worse. Pro Controller is lighter than the DualShock4.
*Look superior
Sorry, just had to do that ;D
Cell shaded visuals will look the same on any of the current systems.
Probably would’ve been better if it was on PS4. That’s the only way “I” would buy this kiddie game.
And the peanut gallery throws in its two cents.
Yep. Sounds exactly like a Sony pony.
Okay, so what you mean is…
“I’m so butthurt I fell for the prank and actually wasted $60 on a prank and I’m too stupid to return the game and get a full refund, but I’m so butthurt and so stupid that my intelligence abandoned me that I started eating with my ass and shitting with my mouth, which is exactly why I’m talking shit right now.”
Cool, now go get your refund back.
The game is 1080p @ 60 fps. Graphically it won’t look any better than it already does. Also, get a Nintendo Pro Controller. Battery lasts ten times longer than the DS4 controller and is lighter.
30fps actually.
60fps confirmed.
Five years hence this will be a common sight. I hope Iwata is fed his shorts by that time.
Won’t happen. Nintendo has stated that their IP won’t be on competing consoles, and that they will not go 3rd party.
Want to play a Nintendo franchise, buy a Nintendo system.
If it’s just to see a reaction then it’s an okay prank. The only way I can see this as a bad prank is if he were to let the customer buy it in hopes of waiting for their return and say “Haha! I GOT YOU”…it’s a very dumb joke to allow someone to buy it and wait for their return to expect a couple of laughs.
The way nintendo as whole is doing business this isn’t such a bad thing I have a wii u but picking up a ps4 soon. I played wind walker on the cube….im not shelling out $. $ for pretty graphics…give me a new IP and were talking…
This is hilarious. I would have loved to see footage of the customers’ reactions.
This would make me buy a ps4. Insta-buy
So why not buy a Wii U and thus game? What’s the difference? You’d be buying a system for a single game.
Did he say he doesn’t own a Wii U?
I dont think ps4 can play GAMES :3
They can actually, and so much better than WIIK U :3
Eb games employee here (montreal downtown) are real jerks! They always look down on you when you buy a game that don’t fit to their taste. Damn I hate them. I just stopped going there.

put on prank face >:D MUAHAHAHAHAHA
Hahaha! GameStop strikes again!
I know it was a fake buy reading the top of the case. It says only on Playstation. Will it IS on Nintendo Wii U. So Only on is wrong. It this was real imagine how much better the graphics wold be with the PS4.
