Blizzard Entertainment usually does something every year, but they haven't put it out yet.
Fansites MMO-Champion and Diablo Fans on the
other hand.
Final Fantasy XIV announced a new upcoming feature: Romance the game's leading NPCs!. (The jokes don't make much sense if you're not familiar with the game.)

Damn, Capcom. This has gone from sad, to almost hilarous considering how out of their way their going to rub salt in the wounds.
Now's it's Shulk Time!
League of Legends has added a new game mode for the week as their april fools.

ranged champs get double attack speed gains, mana is infinite, all abilities have 80% cool down reduction.
It is ridiculous and unbalanced and hilarious.

We Are With You Zack Snyder
Nintendo developing Virtual U VR platform to rival Sony's Morpheus and Oculus Rift.
It is April Fools but I can see Nintendo actually developing it.

Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure
Paradox Interactive announces Claws of the Meowars DLC for Crusader Kings II, featuring playable cats.
...I really hope that some ambitious modder (or maybe even Paradox themselves) makes this actually happen.

Fake World of Warcraft 6.0 patch notes, as usual. They are unusually hilarious, though.

Paradox ALSO announces National Dogs for Hearts Of Iron IV to increase mainstream appeal. Japanese Shiba Inus to print Dogecoins.
And totally doesn't half-ass it after forgetting to prank Europa Universalis IV players.

Among the worst is Frostbite making a low blow on the Wii U. I'll never buy an EA game again, especially not Battlefield.

I didn't see that one. Though EA and Respawn are two different things.

Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Was so displeased that I Did Not Do The Research. Fixed it now.
IGN came up with a trailer for Optimus Prime DLC on Titanfall, but I didn't look at it. I went the smart route and googled it. Turns out there is no such DLC.
Bummer.
Also, the design for that April Fools Mega Man X model looked really rad and sleek. I can see that particular appearance be used in a new Mega Man X game...if it ever happens.
Yeah, that was a bit of a low blow on their part; though Kotaku's suggested counterattack is gold.
Still don't see how that condemns EA in your eyes now though.
Politics is the skilled use of blunt objects.
Frostbite's EA's engine for their Battlefield series now, right? I won't be touching Dice's games anymore than I used to years ago.
Not sure if this is a one shot thing (these were the same guys who did Westeros VS Europe last year) or just a cheekily timed announcement.

So I was poking around in that link to Kotaku, and one of the best jokes was Phil Fish tweeting that he was unretiring and going back to work on FEZ 2.
Thoughts?
Seems like the guy is still being spiteful or he is planning to make comeback but doesn't want to admit it 
I don't know.
It's been, what, almost a year since his Tweet War with Marcus Beer? Surely he'd be over it by now, right?
Or is he so unstable that he's still pissed off about the experience?

Main Character
It wouldn't surprise me if he held a huge grudge, honestly.
People have had petty ones over the most seemingly trivial of things, before, and he doesn't seem like a forgiving person.
^^I'd say that guy has problems in first place to throw that huge fit over it. I mean, he clearly isn't capable of handing negative publicity and few clips from documents I've seen he seems kind of a depressed.
Mad Scientist Wannabe
And it looks like EA rescinded their statements and removed their Twitter feed. It's too bad that Time Warner Company or whatever the hell it is beat them in the annual "Worst Company in America" contest.
As the title suggests, this is a thread for collecting all the rumors and jokes that spreads this time of year.
And in other news, Google wins everything.
Now's it's Shulk Time!
