Boon tweets best April Fool's day image ever: "ULTRA Injustice Ultimate Turbo Extreme Edition!"

[STORMS]

It's April fool's day so don't get yourself caught in any crazy news stories... for example: "Breaking News: Mortal Kombat Special Forces HD on the way?".

However, it seems Ed Boon's April fool's day tradition is holding up to par from previous years. Not long ago he announced Injustice Trilogy based off of a fan-made (made by @_DaanishSyed) image of "Ultra Injustice Ultimate Extreme Turbo Legendary Edition". This is quite hilarious and an obvious mocking of the many versions of Street Fighter IV. So, try not to get fooled too much today... rather just enjoy some pranks and have a laugh.

EDIT (7:09 PM EST 4/1/14): It turns out that DaanishSyed, the one who made this fake cover art is actually an NRS employee! No wonder the art is awesome! See here: http://daanishsyed.tumblr.com/

.........................................Why Storms? Why?
Real talk tho, I like how companies troll Capcom.

 

[ShadowBeatz]

I thought Injustice was their April Fool's joke though

 

[REDRUM]

they should've patched push block tech back in for a day, just to see if anyone would notice.

Edit: oh wait, i mean: FRONT PAGE!?

Would have had funnier results if they announced an MK9 patch.

 

[CRKFIEND]

... Not sure if dig on Capcom, or themselves...

Oh, and the fake box art is better then the real box art.

 

[Frantastic23]

Yeah that fake box art is actually better lol

 

[Dizzy]

[coolwhip]

A touch off topic, but April Fools is one of the most annoying traditions know to humanity.

But the ultimate edition cover has superman doing the divebomb otg

I laughed extremely hard reading this

 

[Espio]

Lol that cover looks better than the other two.

 

[STRYKIE]

Fun fact: Boon in the previous two April 1sts joked that MK10 is coming soon, notice he isn't doing that this year?

Would have had funnier results if they announced an MK9 patch.

I think it was in his best interests to stick to a joke that more than 200 people would understand and wouldn't spark a shitstorm of counter-productive entitlements.

Well played, Mr. Boon...

 

[Jim]

For what it's worth it isn't a 'fan made' cover, while obviously not real it was made an artist at NRS not just a regular fan.

 

[Wowbiggulps]

Can sinestro d1 into shackles in this version?

I just learned that the one who made this is actually an NRS artist, lol. Check this out: http://daanishsyed.tumblr.com/

Sorry but this is the best April Fool's by a mile. Skullgirls please!

 

[STORMS]

Yeah that fake box art is actually better lol

If I had to guess... I'll bet that DC wouldn't allow something "dark" like that. Here is a similar article basically proving this: http://testyourmight.com/threads/boon-tweets-original-mkvsdc-box-art-we-also-could-not-go-with-the-super-dark-tone-we-wanted.33134/

^ That art kicks the actual MKDC art in the ass.

Hopefully the next MK is this dark though.
