Google's April Fools Pranks
One is awesome, one is "WTF?" inducing.
First up: Google Maps for Famicom/NES And yes, there is a version of this available on the actual site complete with 8-bit StreetView. 8-bit Google Maps Next up: The YouTube Collection. All of YouTube on DVD. Last edited by isbragg; April 1, 2012 at 01:10:25 PM. |

Hm, thinking about it and Pokédex 3D Pro, I really think Nintendo could pull something like this off quite well on the 3DS if they truly desired, perhaps using Nintendo Zones as their geocaches (as being online is the only time the 3DS knows where it is geographically).

Also for those of you who don't have a capable device for playing the Pokemon Challenge, there is a way to run if off your PC as long as you have a Google account. You need an "Android emulator" called BlueStacks. Link available in video description:
Video here EDIT: To zoom, hold CRTL and use your mouse scroll wheel. You have to hit CTRL for each zoom level though. Last edited by Yoshi648; March 31, 2014 at 05:22:06 PM. |

Frankly, YouTube's more recent pranks have been rather lackluster. Anyone else remember when they flipped the videos and text? ASCII mode? 1911?
