NVIDIA buys Xbox brand from Microsoft... and other April Fools jokes for 2024

Sigh. It's that time again. April Fools day on the web. Share some you've come across.

NVIDIA buys Xbox brand from Microsoft

This one's kind of fucked up...

OMG we need a Nintendo golf game so bad. Just imagine Link, Samus, Inklin Girl, Lucina, Rex, etc all as pickable golf characters.

Yes! Metroid Prime 4 is a golf game. I think I can speak on behalf of all Metroid Prime fans when I say that turning it into a golf series is exactly what we all wanted. Also the graphics, the animation, the ball and swing simulation.....fantastic. Clearly must be a Switch 2 title (and the Switch 2 must be some beast to play something like that). Nintendo has done it again. \o/

Here's a nice joke for you. Nintendo announces its new system, and it uses 21st century hardware. Imagine that.

Here's another one. They're tired of competing with Sega Dreamcast online infrastructure, and decide to upgrade it to something that isn't from 1999.

Oh, wait. That one’s actually real. My sincerest apologies, TC. 😏

i still remember an April Fool's where they were showing a collaboration between Nintendo and Sony to bring a Legend of Zelda game to the PS2..

i gotta admit, they got me lol

I love this one, Luigi Death stare for the win.

Well, they're working on the movie together now. That's close enough 😉

I liked this one as well. Resurrecting a long forgotten FPS game nobody played is just the kind of meta humor I can get behind.

I saw an article that said something like "Sony fans praise Gears" and was immediately like oh boy this looks like a good April Fools joke.

Disappointed as it brought me to a week-old Reddit thread of Sony fans praising Gears.

I think the best video game April Fools joke will always be the one in the EGM magazine many years ago for Street Fighter II arcade game to fight Akuma.

Really? That's awesome 👍🏽

The person who leaked Ghost of Tsushima posted a Tweet of Project Beast aka Bloodborne.

For me, it was unlocking Sonic/Tails in SSB Melee magazine from EGM (I think) decades ago lol. The funny thing is, I was able to do that challenge and did the requirement too.

Mean April's fool joke though😅
