Vookcast #289: The Tradition Lives On!

In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Angelo, and Luke are back to discuss the first general Nintendo Direct since the launch of the Switch 2 — and it's a big one. So big, in fact, that they didn't really have much time to talk about anything else, and somehow managed to stay mostly on-topic.

Imagine that.

It's all capped off with a fantastic round of Nintendo 20 Questions, courtesy of one of our Discord regulars.
