Today, friends, we have learned a very valuable lesson: never browse for gaming goods on 1st April.
Retailer ThinkGeek, which specialises in all sorts of geeky accessories and merchandise, has today uploaded a product listing for the 'Roomby: Kirby Robot Vacuum'. Working just like any other robot vacuum cleaner (we've always wanted one for some reason) this little contraption would see Kirby gliding around your home, sucking up all the dirt from your floor in the most adorable fashion we've ever seen. Just imagine.
Or at least, it would have done those things if it were real. Clicking 'Buy Now' on the product takes you to an April Fool's message - at least that's saved us the $300 it's listed for. Check it out in all its glory below.
You can see the fake listing for yourself here if you're interested. Perhaps you can use it to fool your friends?
We're keeping tabs on the best video game related April Fools' day pranks and gathering them all in one handy place. If you want to see how Nintendo and other developers have been fooling fans, make sure to check that out here.

Today is April 1st so...... 😛
Amazing! That would've gone straight on the wishlist.
That thing sucks
Cries in kirby fan
And I was told Mario Luigi and peach would be in sonic team racing as team star...
Gonna try and ignore April Fools this year, just get head down into some Splatoon Legends on my 3DS.
ThinkGeek always do very well at April fools. And sometimes the products eventually become real...and if this one does I will buy one in a heartbeat.
That's actually a pretty good and sound idea. I endorse this becoming a thing.
I really want this to be a real thing. How do we make this a real thing?!?!?!
And it was a perfect real setup. Kirby is famous for sucking. ThinkGeek is GameStop which is famous for sucking. HOW CAN THEY NOT ACTUALLY MAKE THIS PRODUCT THAT REALLY SUCKS???
Hah. I now know my next modding project for home appliance. Just got ourselves robot vacuum few months ago. Time for a makeover.
It kinda defeats the purpose with it being so tall though. How would it get under chairs and other furniture?
I'm ignoring Aprils Fools Day this year. I need to watch the new Nintendo direct!
Ha, very cool. They could have it that the top is a dust bag you can empty and that starts of kinda deflated but puffs up as you use the hoover and also collect more dust and stuff.
Would have been pretty cool if it was real.
