Less than a week after a protected Twitter handle for F-Zero<\/a><\/strong> was discovered<\/a> – featuring a recovery email that seemingly<\/em> matched Nintendo’s ‘nintendo.co.jp’ address – it now appears to have been confirmed as a fake account.<\/p>\n

Since then, the Twitter page has tweeted its first message in the form of a video, and let’s just say it’s not very family-friendly, at all<\/em> – this indicates it has no connection to Nintendo. According to Google translate, the message attached to the tweet is “I did it” – in other words, it’s likely a cruel joke.<\/p>\n

The reason this Twitter account caught the attention of so many in the first place, is not only because the attached email looked like a Nintendo one, but the fact it was created in March 2020 – the same time as the SuperMario35th<\/a><\/strong> Twitter page. As one reply puts it:<\/p>\n

\n

@Horhey_FF<\/a> Imagine creating an account 4 months ago just to create a fake leak months later
That\u2019s some next level s***<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While some F-Zero fans remain hopeful, others say they were never convinced in the first place:<\/p>\n

\n

@HydraBravoWC<\/a> F-Zero fan here, you never fooled me. All leaks involving F-Zero are fake.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Of course, now all the attention has turned to the Super Mario Twitter account that was discovered earlier last week<\/a>. As previously mentioned, it was also created in March of this year and has a similar looking email address linked to it. At the time of writing, no tweets have been made by this account.<\/p>\n

Is the Mario account also a fake? Or is it the real deal? We’ll leave you to discuss this in the comments below.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
