This Fake April Fools’ Trailer For ‘Splatoon Island’ Almost Looks Too Convincing

This April Fool’s Day, some Splatoon fans are going to wish it wasn’t April Fools’ Day.

Animator Mike Inel recently japed the Nintendo community with a fake trailer for Splatoon Island – an imaginary mobile spin-off. Instead of childish turf wars, we see inklings running about in saucy swimsuits and mundane minigames.

You can check it out below, in all of its Summer-soaked glory.

If we can be honest, it almost looks TOO good to be just a April Fools’ fake! We wonder how long Mike even spent working on this crazy joke.

Sadly, Nintendo fans will just have to settle for more standard mobile experiences this April Fool’s Day – like Fire Emblem Heroes.
