April Fools Day is the most loved (or hated) day of the year, and this year seems to have taken it up a level.

Australia is definitely the most notorious for fooling people, as we get the privilege of going first (cue, it’s not April First yet comments).

Here’s some of the best April Fools jokes of 2019 so far. This will be updated as the day unfolds.

OUR PLAYSTATION AIR GAG

Couldn’t make a list without including our own. We’re massive PlayStation fans and those of you that have been following along over the years know that we’re crazy about Ape Escape and also think that Knack deserves way more credit than it gets, so we made a new streaming service that’s dedicated to recognising PlayStation’s unsung heroes.

RARE REPLAY 64 COMING TO SWITCH

Our friends over at Vooks created something that a lot of people have been craving. RARE Replay 64 coming to Nintendo Switch including Goldeneye 64. It’s definitely something we could see coming down the line.

SQUARE KIRBY

I don’t believe Nintendo has ever gotten in on the April Fools Day fun, but they’ve turned Kirby square, which is actually quite the look.

A NEW YAKUZA TURN BASED RPG

SEGA released a fake turn-based RPG featuring Kasuga Ichiban. This one is a bit tricky, as a new game featuring this character is actually in development, so it’s possible that we’ll see something like this in the new Yakuza.

CAPCOM’S ONLINE GAME

Capcom released a brand new game called ‘World President Challenges: A Shooting Game’ which you can find right HERE.

MASSIVE PLAYSTATION KEY RINGS

PlayStation Asia revealed that they’d be creating a line of PlayStation key rings. They’re actually just regular consoles with key rings attached.

NVIDIA’S HOLOGRAPHIC ASSISTANT

Nvidia announced R.O.N. which is the first holographic virtual assistant.

WAYFORWARD X NINTENDO

Wayforward announced that they’d be incorporating some of Nintendo’s most iconic characters into their games.

CORSAIR’S GAME LAUNCHER LAUNCHER

Corsair announced something that every PC gamer needs. They’re going to release a launcher that handles all your launchers.
