April Fool’s 2017 Round-up: Google, Bayonetta and Nvidia stand out from the pack

8-Bit Bayonetta on Steam

In the technical sense, SEGA meant for 8-bit Bayonetta to be a joke, but it is actually playable on Steam completely for free. That said, there's a link to a countdown page buried within the game, leading many fans to suspect that an announcement for a PC version of Bayonetta is incoming.

ThinkGeek's new product line, headlined by the Hot Pocket Sleeping Bag.

ThinkGeek rolled out a line of nine "new products" conveniently in time for April Fool's Day. Attempting to buy any of them takes you to a rather salty GIF, all meant in good fun of course. For more on ThinkGeek's April Fool's Day jokes, head over here.

The Amazon Echo can now talk to your pets.

When your Hamster needs to know how many steps it has taken, Alexa is now there for it. Not really. But the 40-second spot is a good piece of advertising for the Amazon Echo and is currently among YouTube's Top 30 trending videos. For more on the Amazon Echo April Fool's Day joke, head over here.

Black Desert Online has a whiskey packed with an excessive number of flavors.

This "highly limited edition" whiskey is noted for its "incomparably rich and smoky" flavor which includes a mix of hazelnuts, honey, sherry, oranges, ginger, kumquats, sandalwood, and dark chocolate. Oh, and by the way, Black Desert Online is officially a year old. For more on BDO's April Fool's Day joke, head over here.

Another April Fool's Day is in the books, and that means another round of jokes that may or may not have baited you into thinking were real, made waves across the internet. There wasn't anything to make you genuinely angry (or at least shouldn't have because that's weird), but there were a few things that'd make you wish it was real. Without further ado, here are the highlights from April Fool's Day 2017.

The Google Gnome

A "compliment" to the Google Home, the Google Gnome brings your outdoor activities into the modern age by giving you a real-time take on wind direction, playing "cool" music, and automating your hose. Just don't ask it to perform any indoor tasks. For more on Google's April Fool's Day joke, head over here.

The GeForce GTX G-Assist

The GTX G-Assist is here to play your games for you. Need to answer the door, but don't want to leave your teammates hanging? Just let the G-Assist take over. Can't beat a boss in Dark Souls, but want to tell your friends you did? G-Assist, all day, every day. For more on Nvidia GeForce's April Fool's Day joke, head over here.

IGN's Grand Theft Auto TV Show from AMC

Those hoping for a Grand Theft Auto TV Show….are going to have to keep on waiting. Ever since IGN pulled off that epic Legend of Zelda movie trailer joke back in 2008, the rest of internet has been struggling to play catch up. Although this GTA TV Show trailer doesn't come nearly as close to having the same impact, mostly because the rest of the world quickly grew wise, it's still a neat idea.
