Order Up.

One of the best ways that studios have capitalised on April Fool’s Day in recent years is by announcing a seemingly absurd project that couldn’t possibly have been greenlit for real, only for it to wind up being a wonderful reality.

This time, retro specialist Nightdive Studios is tackling one of the most ridiculous, polarising FPS games from the ’90s: PO’ed.

That’s rad, dad.

If you’re fond of the charming Dadish series on Switch, then you’ll be pleased to know that it’s heading into the third dimension next month with Dadish 3D.

Launching on 23rd April, 2024, Dadish 3D stars, well, Dadish as he embarks on his ‘craziest adventure yet’ to locate his missing children, who were lured away suspicious pop-up advertising.

Fool Mii once…

April Fools’ Day on Easter Monday? Is this a crossover episode?

No, literally.

April Fool’s Day is now in session and many gaming companies are getting in on the action with their own amusing, harmless pranks.

One such company is, of course, The Pokémon Company, which has decided to lean into the sheer absurdity of its Pokémon Sleep app to reveal the ‘Pokémon Sleep Champion Tournament 2024’.

Neigh.

Well, this is an odd one to kick off an Easter Monday morning.

With internal developer resources having shifted almost 100% to the upcoming (yet still unannounced) ‘Switch 2’, Nintendo’s flagship game for the 2024 Holiday period will see a return to a less-than-fan-favourite party game series for a first-second-third outing.
