Are there any good April Fools jokes today? For example, a few years ago Google announced a sewage based ISP (i.e. flush some fiber optic cable down the toilet and they would fish it out and connect it).

The only one I have come across is IGN article about the Nintendo Virtual Boy Pro.

    Didn’t they already do that for real with Nintendo Labo?

      Did they? I know it let you make weird machines; I don’t remember a VR one though. But I also totally forgot Labo was a thing until you mentioned it so 🤷🏻‍♂️

        VirtualBoy was also a terrible Nintendo product from the 90s, which adds to the joke even more.

        • Personally, I really liked it. I would strap it to my head and lay in bed to play Mario Tennis and… Metal something? It was like a robot SHMUP where you flew forward into the action, so to speak. Only two games I had for it. Played more tennis than the other one since the other one gave me the same kind of motion sickness that VR now does when I try to move without actually moving. lol
