Teh Megaton Is Teh Comign!!1!1

[OB1]

Wanna know what the Megaton was really all about? Here's a quote from ign's mailbag (January 31st):

Megaton

Dear IGN mail guy,
What's the deal with the megaton announcement from Nintendo? Was the GBA SP it, or it's something else? Thanks as always for your time.

Matt responds: Trust me, you don't want to know the full story behind it. You wouldn't be able to handle it. Okay, okay, since you've insisted. Japanese V-Jump Magazine started the rumor, saying that in November it would announce a "Megaton" project that would surely sell lots of GameCube systems. It was being funny. It turns out, though, that the so-called "Megaton" was nothing more than a GCN project featuring some characters from the magazine. Ha. Ha. Funny, no? You may no begin to cry. But please do so silently, and in the corner.

Man...
