gaming Google Maps Japan did something AWESOME!

[FinalGamer 192]

Why is this a gaming tag?

 

Because for April Fool's Day, Google Japan turned the entire world into 8-bit.

 

EVEN THE STREETS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

GO TO YOUR HOUSE

 

TAKE PICTURES

 

IN EIGHT GLORIOUS COLORS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am saving pictures of every place in my childhood, because I have dreamed of this moment for the past TWENTY YEARS.

 

MY PAST SELF WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS SO MUCH

 

AND HE IS ENJOYING IT NOW

 

AS MY INNER CHILD

 

 

EEEEEEEEEEEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEE
