** The goodbye comic given to Philips takes it up a notch, where the two go out for a day of no-holds-barred go-karting. There's even a bit of stealth heartwarming in the logo: it's the first time Nester doesn't scribble in a larger version of his name, and the heads look at each other fondly.

I just found out the whole site was fake Nintendo did not make the prank, sadly.


* Nintendo's {{Super Smash Bros}} (Wii U & 3DS versions) April Fools day Nester joke. To some it could be crossing into {{Funny}} territory, but the heartwarming part about it is that even though the magazine was shut down a year and four months ago, Nintendo still cares about the magazine enough to make its mascot relevant again, even if it was just for an April Fools day joke and he wasn't actually going to be in the game.
