Yes, Asus is making a handheld gaming PC. And yes, it announced it in the worst way.
We're talking about the ROG Ally, however, a supposed new handheld gaming PC from Asus. It's not a joke product, just in that it's quite simply not funny, but it was announced on April 1. Ha. Ha.. There's even a professionally shot video with real game footage and mock-ups and claims of a custom AMD APU to go with. The voiceover is a bit much, and the acting at times, but if you saw the video in isolation you'd be easily fooled into thinking this was a very real product.
It's big, fancy, and the promotional shots make it look like a very real thing. I mean how incredibly plausible what with the success of the Steam Deck and the many similar gaming handhelds on the market today.Well, yes, you'd think that and that also did appear to be the case. It was a bogus product after all, according to ROG's Head of Product management, Shawn Yen. They posted to LinkedIn with a link to a promotional video for the ROG Ally saying"Happy April Fools. ROG Ally .
They got you so bad with this product you might actually want. You absolute suckers. Serves you right for being so easily fooled by a promotional trailer that looks completely legit for a product that's entirely believable.I say this only because the joke didn't stop on April 1. In the British Isles where I live that's tantamount to a crime—if you don't stop April Fooling by 12pm on April 1, you deserve to go to jail.
But the ROG accounts were still tweeting about the ROG Ally on April 2. The ROG Japan account even made it very clear that it is no longer April 1 when it tweeted the handheld out again, further suggesting that, in fact, the今日は｢｢4/2｣｣です！ https://t.co/OEKrYIQ11oThat says"Today is 4/2", by the way, quoting a secondary tweet on the ROG Ally made on April 2 and hinting that the joke has ceased and it's now a real announcement.
