In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Angelo, and Luke are back to discuss the strange drop of Nintendo Pictures' Close To You shorts. They also chat about a new Pokemon Go event in Sydney, the delay of a massive Switch 2 game, a newly announced remake, and say "so long, Bowser" to Nintendo of America's president.
It's all capped off with a fantastic round of Nintendo 20 Questions — but watch out, it's Luke's week.
