Hey Gamestop! Legend of Zelda: A MoonLight Temple is not a real game
A visit to a nearby Gamestop a few minutes ago, where I picked up Shadowrun and The Orange Box for my Xbox 360, turned out to be pretty hilarious. While I was browsing the Wii games, a crudely assembled, low resolution inkjet printed game box stood out on the shelf. It was a faked Wii game box for a Zelda game called “A MoonLight Temple,” and it claimed the game was due November 1st. There were so many things wrong with this I just had to look it up.
When I did, I found this page, where the faked user-made artwork is available for download. Someone at Gamestop thought it would be a good idea to use this piece of fan art, which is assembled from pieces of official Nintendo art, to promote a game that has no official name or release date. In fact, one of the only things we know about the upcoming Wii Zelda game is that it WON’T be using the kind of art seen in Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit Tracks.
I don’t even know what to say at this point. Are these in every store, or just this one?

April Fools?
Not on my part. I really saw it there. Fools had two of them on the shelf.
I meant April Fools on their part.
I've seen that game in an NY gamestop I go to. It's been there for months, so not an april fools joke. Knew it didn't exist, but no idea why they keep it up there.
Darn It. I seen it to at a GameStop in upstate NY. I was searching today to see if it was going to be packaged with an wii port of Wind Waker, being that its still 20 bucks used for the GC disk!
Oh well, I guess my search is over…
I just saw this game in a central New York EB Games today, except the release date on the box was November 2nd! The GameStop around the corner wasn't displaying the fake box, but the salesperson did tell me they were already reserving copies for people.
