If it said it before, it doesn't say it now.

Backstory:
No Luigi in Super Mario 64, but there was a hidden Yoshi. People freaked out and realized Luigi could be hidden, too. Then in the courtyard, the text on the star SOMEHOW says "L is real 2041" in that mess of pixels. Yes, dear, the Internet had rumors back in the day of the N64, too.

Sharpened pic from the original game:

[MrCheez]

you can get the triforce in OOT

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Dude, the Japanese have figured out secrets Americans never will.

 

[XMonkey]

Nope, don't see it.

 

[Prince of Space]

Haha, I remember all this shit from the Antagonist days. :lol :lol

 

[demon]

This sounds the kind of bullshit only nerds could convince themselves is real.


Wait....this IS bullshit only nerds can convince themselves is real.

L is real in 2041? Gimme a fuckin break.

Looks like Arabic for "I believe this news".

I think it's pretty obvious that it says Eternal Star.

 

[Kobun Heat]

I always thought it said "A secret star."

 

[GDJustin]

Oh man... I remember all that L is real stuff... I was really into the SM64 scene back in the day.

 

[Jonnyram]

I think it's pretty obvious that it says Eternal Star.

And it says "We hope so" underneath?

 

[Meier]

Even if it does say that, wtf does it mean?

 

[Do The Mario]

 

[levious]

Even if it does say that, wtf does it mean?

it was a clue to unlocking Luigi.

But no, not really, just a rumor, hope springs eternal... like finding the triforce in Zelda: OoT

 

[Vormund]

Wow that's really reaching.

 

[DDayton]

TMK gets SO MANY STUPID E-MAILS ABOUT THIS.

Grunt.

 

[john tv]

Hah, it's been years since I heard those words.

Some of that looks like katakana. It's probably just gibberish.

 

[BarneyBP]

I think it says "L is Real 2004"

Nintendo knew the DS was coming! After all, you can play as Luigi NOW in Super Mario 64.

 

[Kiriku]

I think it says "blurry texture".

 

[Amir0x]

I can't believe their are people that have so much free time that they actually thought up such bullshit.

13 year old N-bots eat this shit up!

13 year old N-bots eat this shit up!

Seriously. I mean, I know Star Wars fans and Everquest fans are bad... but jesus. I can just imagine some socially inept 12 year old sitting at home, walking up to his 23 inch television and squinting at this pixelated mess and going "I...I think I see something. Maybe if I take a picture of this and scan it into my computer... I'll be able to figure it out." He grabs his camera with his stubby, greasy hand and snaps a shot, quickly shuttling the paper into his grandma's 1996 Epson Scanner that came with her Compaq computer purchase she made at Wal-Mart. "Oh my God! It says L IS HERE 2040!??! WHAT A DISCOVERY I HAVE MADE! MY FEEBLE, PERPETUALLY VIRGINIZED HEART CANNOT TAKE IT!!"

It just defies logic.

I'm a geek, but seriously... even I have to say to this... get a life.

 

[Do The Mario]

L IS HERE 2040

It's L IS HERE 2041

and you may be eating you're words in 2041 when Nintendo takes over the world! the Signs are there people!

I am gona stock up on can food!
