Type Moon spoofing Dragon Ball Evolution with their very own NEKO ARC EVOLUTION + fake cinema site.

Atlus claiming they lost all their Raiho Plushie shipments.

Youtube makes videos display upside down.

GameFAQs has an invisible poll option again.

Requisite Blizzard stuff.  To lazy to check Starcraft 2 one (assume there is one) and hey there might be a Diablo one as well come to think of it.

Edit - THoughts of Diablo 3 are too alluring and I can't help myself.

Edit 2 - My favourite is the "About the Author" at the bottom of the Archivist.

World of WarCraft's new system for PvP. Come 3.1, I'm gonna F someone in the A, preferably to Achy Breaky Heart.

Many awesome references, though my favorite is probably the "Santa Destroy Heroes" crew.

Obviously Blizzard was going to come out with an awesome April Fool's gag, and damn if they didn't deliver twice. But sometimes great jokes just come completely out of left field.

What, no link to ThinkGeek?

I highly recommend everyone spam them on Twitter and demand the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag be produced. In adult size.

The best part of Blizzard's April Fools BY FAR is what they did to their forums:

Oh, man. Enormous props to Blizzard. Very good gags, there.

My favorite April Fool's joke, though, is one from about fifty years ago:

I think it's adorable.

Sweeeeet. They decided to approach Lucasfilms to pursue a license and produce it.

I was watching a Backloggery stream of Super C for the NES on Justin.tv last night when 10 minutes in, it switched to Superman 64.  It stayed that way for the rest of the stream.  Here's a clip from last night:
