Now now, Japan. That's just mean.

Kotaku reported that the Japanese website Akiba Blog ran a blogpost stating that Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS was going to be released at midnight today. Today being April 1st.

For those NOT in the know, Dragon Quest game releases in Japan are like Harry Potter opening weekends x10.

2000 people lined up outside stores in Akihabara... TWO THOUSAND! Akiba blog might as well have pissed in their cereal.

And apparently, according to the above picture, everyone who lined up has either a penis or a vagina instead of heads. At least, that's what Japanese porn taught me.
