Alright, it may be a Monday, but it’s still April Fools’ Day over here, a very special day in video gaming. Many related companies, studios and merchants are pulling hoaxes and stunts, and making gag announcements. So let’s round up as many as we can here!
A couple weeks back, Markus “Notch” Persson said he wanted to explore the possibility of a space-trading Firefly-inspired sandbox game akin to Firefly. It now appears that was a huge put-on.
The undisputed Internet-age leader in April Fools’ hoaxes gets a one-day head start on its latest gag — a brilliant announcement video for “Google Maps 8-Bit” a port of the popular, well, map service to the Nintendo Entertainment System/Famicon.
Oh, great. April Fools’ is on Sunday. This is the worst day, the absolute worst, in video gaming.
Closing out this April Fool’s Day is a prank that is 100 percent truthful in its awesomeness. At Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Greenview Data, the co-workers of one Minecraft-addicted employee, Matt, converted his cubicle into a Minecraft cave anyone could be proud of, in game or in real life.
ArenaNet’s upcoming massively multiplayer online game Guild Wars 2 has warriors, magic-users and rogues. What’s missing? Elite military commandos. For one day and one day only, that role has been filled.
Had the farce of its development not abruptly dead-ended in May of last year, April 1, 2010 was to have been the date Duke Nukem Forever went to gold master – that is, was at last finished.
I know, we’ve been trying to restrict April Fool’s stuff to a single post, but since this clip – of Bayonetta re-imagined as an 8-bit side-scroller – isn’t really a joke or a scam, it’s worth a closer look.
