April Fools’ Day 2018 roundup
Posted on April 1, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News
As we’ve seen over the past few years, game developers have gotten into the April Fools’ Day spirit with fake announcements. Some companies have already started sharing their news ahead of April 1 – which is tomorrow of course.
We don’t have any plans for any April Fools’ Day jokes, though we will once again be rounding up all of the Nintendo-related “announcements”. We’ll keep this post updated over the next day or so.

Pokemon GO’s new graphics
We always want to bring you the most immersive graphics experience possible, and we’re excited to share our latest breakthrough with millions of Pokémon GO Trainers around the world. Starting later today, you can be one of the first to experience this all-new graphics engine.
Experience Pokémon GO like never before with cutting-edge 8-BIT GRAPHICS! Registering approximately twice the definition of 4K, the chunky squares of each pixel provide realistic detail and unbelievable definition. Your Pokédex will feel lifelike in ways previously unimagined on any handheld device ever created.
We feel 100% confident in saying that you’ve never seen Pokémon like this in Pokémon GO! We’re looking forward to your feedback on this brand-new feature. Tell us your thoughts on our latest update with #PokemonGO, and be sure to include a picture of your favorite Pokémon!
