So, the right side of MarioWiki's front page for April 1st... well, the news are blatantly fake news whereas the "Did You Know?" column, in the style of Wikipedia's yearly featured articles for April 1st, tells seemingly absurd but absolutely true trivia. Just to preserve a screencap:
And just to preserve the factoids' contexts after the day has passed:
- "Mario's mother scrubs toilets in hell" refers to this licensed German Mario comic
- Ron Jeremy's official website confirmed that Nintendo owns the rights to Super Hornio Brothers
- Mario being a Vietnam veteran was in the Game & Watch game Mario's Bombs Away
- The seemingly tasteless Mario Kart Beslan bit is proven by The Cutting Room Floor

ITT I learned thatTim Dog professes to stop hating:
(this might be legit as he claims to have bought a ps4...lol)
a) there's some "industry insider" named Tim Dog, and
b) that the rapper Tim Dog, who I believed to have died, actually faked his own death to escape the mob/conned women/the gov.

Blizzard announces the name of the new StarCraft 2 expansion, "Herald of the Stars".
If you don't get the joke, Herald of the Stars, abbreviation HotS, as in the same as Hearth of the Swarm, and Heroes of the Storm.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

I don't like the overly silly and not believable ones really.
On my own site, I used to do one almost every year.
The first year it was ports of Legend of Zelda 1 & 2 on the Game Boy. That same year was "Pokemon Yellow delayed in the USA to add GBC features."
Then another year was a backlit GBC.
The next year was Lunar Silver Star Story coming to GBA.
Then Final Fantasy IV, VI, and Chrono Trigger coming to GBA.
Then full children's movies on GBA.
Then a sequel to Earthbound being made and never localized on purpose.
Then I stopped doing them. It got really weird.
The problem with April Fools jokes is that you either go out to be silly, amazing, or over the top.. or you can go close and be hurtful.
I was trying to go close and be hurtful.. but stuff that was a joke in the previous year ended up becoming truth. So, I just gave up on it.
I do love Think Geek's stuff though. Every year, I like to see the products they make. Because some of those genuinely hurt when they aren't made. I still want Creeper Peeps. :-(
If I were Nintendo, I would put up three fake entries in the 3DS eShop for Super Metroid, Earthbound, and Pilotwings. When you clicked them, you would be greeted to a picture Kamek sticking his tongue out. On the Wii U eShop, I would put up fake entries for Pilotwings 64, Super Mario 64, and Wave Race 64. Same deal.
But.. I'm just mean spirited about these things. That's why I choose not to participate in making these types of jokes. :-( I have made people cry with real life pranks on this day. So, I don't participate.

Lost opportunity to announce Shenmue HD as an Aprilfools
Bwahaha, how long until EA management makes them take that tweet down.
Ice cold. Poor WiiU.
You could say they got... Frostbitten.

Super Sonico is the mascot for Nitroplus, who develops a bunch of visual novels (Steins;Gate, Saya no Uta).
Pochaco is essentially a supposed rival of Sonico who appeared in the anime, and is now having a game starring herself (which will probably never come out).
So that's the joke, mostly.
