Google Maps celebrate April Fool’s in an 8-bit fashion

by 16 comments

Google Maps just added support for the Nintendo Entertainment System, people. And yes, that’s the same 8-bit gaming console, which is soon going to celebrate its thirtieth birthday.

Of course, it is an April Fool’s prank, brought our way by Google. Up until midnight tomorrow, we will be able to enjoy Google’s popular service in a memory causing fashion. Just be prepared to see the occasional “Your system may not meet the requirements for 8-bit computations” message.

Naturally, Google has prepared a video, celebrating the launch of the new service, which is quite hilarious. See it below.
