One of my favorite April Fool's gimmicks was when ThinkGeek would make up a bunch of fake products (complete with "in action" videos), and then sometimes turn one of them into a real product when customers expressed enough interest (such as the Tauntaun sleeping bag complete with lightsaber zipper pull).

[@deadpuppetsociety]

I actually used to own the talking bacon plush that started as an April Fool's joke!

[@lonewolffang]

SquareEnix: April Fool's! Everyone: But that's just Nier Replicant. Are you sure this is a April Fool's joke? SquareEnix: April Fool's?

I always loved the Overwatch Googly eyes april fools joke. Simple, easy, but hilarious with certain highlight intros.

[@metalhedp8ntbll]

Pretty sure you mentioned this in the previous vid but in 98, 14 year old me and my friends fell so hard for the Akuma in Resident Evil 2. We even managed the 7th all knife run and fought Tyrant so many times we learned to avoid the unavoidable claw swipe at the beginning of that fight

[@DerdOn0ner]

Corsair might have been joking about their game launcher, but GOG Galaxy took them seriously 🤣

[@ArmTheFallenz]

My favorite april fools joke this year was the new game mode in rocket league. Every car had 3 wheels instead of 4 and every time you'd try to turn your car would just flip over

[@brendonjose6012]

You guys do great work and know that you have a large fan base that appreciates all the hard work you do. Been watching for a decade and will till the end. Much love!

[@z3rotollranc3]

Always a great day to follow gaming news, some companies really go all out for their pranks and I think for the most part, they deserve the credit for that.

[@Ioganstone]

The best prank was with bethesda and his hand is going for a new controller at first but then it's the smart speaker

[@Joreel]

This was a really fun reminder of some of the silly pranks companies have come up with. Thx for making me smile today. I got the call no child want to get about a parent last night so I really needed this video today. And I'd get RBG hair different colors to express my moods 😊

Youll never not hurt from this but youll live through it and learn to live with the pain, this is purely love everlasting. The purest form of true love. Do right by whoever it was and stay true to what they taught you. Stay strong my guy x

[@skepticalgaming7542]

@@diegoalvarez64 oh snap I read it as I got the call no parent wanted to hear about their parent

[@gilded_lady]

The Yakuza Like a Dragon prank should be mentioned because it literally changed the course of development! Devs out out a gameplay trailer showing turn based combat expecting to be like ha ha april fools...and then reaction to it was so positive they literally scrapped their entire brawler combat system and hurried to develop the turn based gameplay that we got. Not bad for a prank! Also: totally would get strobimg hair because that would be amazing.

[@stephenskillern8065]

Any gaming news i hear Friday, I'm taking with a grain of salt.

For April fools 2 years ago, I put in a resignation notice to my boss. Luckily he read the entire thing and noticed the" April fools" in my signature.

[@yashmanyubharij3114]

Just you wait for this Aprils fool. Saying as a game dev ;)

[@SpawnofChaos]

I feel like you guys could do an entire video just covering War Thunder's April Fools events. There're probably other games as well, but WT's the one I play and so know the most about.

Ponies. The ponies were the best. :)

The razer one was the one that got me back in the year watching the trailer i was like holy shit i want this product but then I found it was a goofy prank. I love to see these tiny little fun stuff which shows how gaming community is so nice

The best part of the Omega commercial was when she was making chicken tenders, and Omega played the "chicken tenderrrrs are gonna fry" song

[@Teraphas]

You should check out the Super Adventure Box in Guild Wars 2. Was originally dropped on April fools and has become a recurring event each year. Building a whole game within your game is always impressive

[@user-mu5sl4vh7m]

Never knew Google Maps snake was an April Fools joke 😂 I kinda like that game

[@type_mob]

Gameranx you're the best, keep up the good work and never sell out!

[@ALLBrandito]

My favorite April fools joke was from Ubisoft’s far cry 5. They showcased a new product which was a dog toy in the shape of a gun. This was reminiscent of one of the companions in the game named Boomer, a dog who fetched guns in game. I honestly wished it was a real product that I could buy for my own dog.

[@Apex-nv5gz]

ahh yes watching gamranx before i sleep. perfection

[@jettblade]

The one that got me really excited and completely crushed me was the Mushroom Kingdom Hearts ad in the Game Informer magazine. If there ever was a crossover that would have been mind-blowing it would have been Mushroom Kingdom Hearts. It would be Kingdom Hearts in the Nintendo-Verse. It truly has been heart breaking that it hasn't happened. At least Sora is in Smash Bros, not the best consolation but its a step in the right direction for getting a Mushroom Kingdom Hearts.

[@fehliv]

When I read the title I was like: What? It's already April? -I had to look at my calendar to check but nope, still a day left of March :D

[@brandoncobb5352]

I had to pause the video to go see the omega one. 🤣 Thats going in my "best of KZbin", folder! ✌️

[@psycho-fe5xd]

I remember when apex did an April's fools thing where they took the p2020(weakest handgun) and gave it the ability to more than 100 damage ONLY if you where on a Zipline, needless to say there where a lot of pathfinders running around

[@Yarharsuperpirate]

For Honor also did another april fools joke a few years ago. Basically the rabbids invading the game.

[@thejackal007]

Thanks for the links!

[@Scroter85]

You need to add the Valkyrie Wilde joke from the PSM magazine days for part 3! I remember being in middle school and 100% falling for it, along with all my pervy friends :)

[@TheDeath138]

The things that Gamepro used to print for April fools were always worth a laugh and some of them I even thought would've been good ideas.

[@ganesang5537]

Corsair pulled off an elaborate joke, that's almost meme worthy.

[@harumihirohiko8315]

League of Legends did their part this year. They switched the champion models ingame to npcs inside the game on random sequences when you respawn or recall to your home base. It also changes your size randomly

[@agr0nianTV]

Space Thunder looks dope great vid though I'll have to check out part 1

EGM's joke about fighting Sheng Long in Street Fighter II is the one April Fool's joke I've never forgotten.

[@mikevignola4213]

My favorite april fools joke was the trailer for Yakuza 7, a fake trailer that was so well recieved that SEGA actually made the game.

[@dillontomyn2043]

My favorite of all time was nividia with their usb automatic gaming device. You could plug it in and ai would learn your playing style and play for you. 😂

[@markthecruel1055]

The play doh 3d printer made me smile

[@hiroshi1195]

This is a pretty small thing but one of the the funniest in the Omega speaker ad: The mother was cooking chicken tenders and the father asked Omega to play romantic music, and it started play eScape - this is because the song's infamous for having almost impossible to understand lyrics and the first line sounds something like 'chicken tenders'.

[@jakobsoliman1456]

So... You're joking about my full body pillow of the emperor...? I see how this channel rolls now...

[@Jack2x92]

“Itcher 3: wild bugs” LMFAOOO!!

[@OniGanon]

My favourites are some old ones from Star Wars The Old Republic, where they announced playable Sarlaac race, and Shyriiwook localisation (ie everyone sounds like a Wookie).

[@The.Frumious.Bandersnatch]

The razer finger gloves for cellphone gaming are totally a real thing.

[@tazersmurf4689]

The chicken tenders part from the Omega April fools joke is there as a meme since in one of the songs that plays during the raid has lyrics thar sound like chicken tenders ready to fry.

[@ahha6304]

Oh Sass Effect should be its real name since we all play it for "We'll Bang Okay?" scenes

[@troggywoggy5552]

My personal favorite is the Final Fantasy XIV Online Go back in 2018. Poor souls smacking their phone against trees to gather wood and using their phone as a fishing rod with the phone getting tossed into the lake 😂

[@TehButterflyEffect]

Ok that Corsair one made me laugh out loud. Hilarious. "Brightest minds of Reddit" hahahahahaha.

[@Kaylx3]

I will always remember 11 year old me waiting the release of StarCraft 2 (it released when I was like 13). And they announced a marine tauren as a new terran unit and I was genuinely angry about it because it didn't fit the tone of the game XD Love that they hid it inside StarCraft with a side mission and that ETC had a marine skin in Heroes of the storm so many years after that joke!

That one of For Honor was so fckn funny. I worked so hard to make my Jormungandr look like a dark souls boss and went to sleep, next day im gonna play and he's 1 foot tall and his voice sounded like a squirrel. I was mad at first but then i couldn't stop laughing the character's voices sounded so goofy and everyone was a miniature, that was so fckn funny

[@Twpballer7]

Apex making the Mozambique (one of worst guns) extremely OP for April fools day. Also increased the loot pool so they were everywhere on the ground. Was very funny to play with that day.

My fav gamer April Fools joke is GamePro magazine's joke about being able to fight Shenlong in Street Fighter 2. They had images and a method to do it which was pretty impossible.

[@smashedupwards]

In the past, Blizzard used to do so many good ones.. but doubt we'll see them again. A few years ago minecraft did these cool random dimension portals for april fools and it was a lot of fun, hope more games do these event type april fools in the future.

[@mandrac2]

Blizzard idea of a joke nowadays is more like "hueuheuheuheu look it's bill cosby!"

[@Thatguyujustmet]

I made friends a while back for a game called Polygon and we formed a clan. Acog on Glock. This past April the solo dev added the Acog on the Glock as the April fools. It was awesome!
