The best gaming April Fools’ jokes of 2023
Some of the biggest Mario games are getting new voices
IGN posted a fake Nintendo Direct on Twitter, announcing that some games will be voiced after the fact as part of the release of the Super Mario movie on Nintendo Switch Online. The demonstration is extremely funny and disturbing at the same time. Anyone who doesn’t at least have to smile at Seth Rogen’s laugh as Donkey Kong probably has an extremely old heart.

It’s January 30th, 20000000200. Always eat your vegetables and with a little luck you’ll catch the release. We will of course publish a test.
