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.Relevant stories:Direct roundup: https://www.vooks.net/everything-from-the-september-2025-nintendo-direct-marios-40th-metroid-resident-evil-yoshi-and-more/Galaxy: https://www.vooks.net/super-mario-galaxy-super-mario-galaxy-2-coming-to-switch-this-october/Virtual Boy: https://www.vooks.net/nintendos-adding-virtual-boy-to-nintendo-classics-with-an-actual-virtual-boy/Yoshi: https://www.vooks.net/yoshi-and-the-mysterious-book-a-new-yoshi-game-coming-in-2026/Mario Tennis: https://www.vooks.net/mario-tennis-fever-swings-onto-switch-2-in-february-2026/Pokopia: https://www.vooks.net/pokemon-pokopia-is-some-sort-of-cosy-life-simulator-arriving-2026/Metroid: https://www.vooks.net/metroid-prime-4-beyond-is-out-december-4th-and-samus-has-a-bike/Resident Evil(s): https://www.vooks.net/resident-evil-requiem-7-biohazard-and-village-are-coming-to-switch-2-in-2026/Fire Emblem: https://www.vooks.net/fire-emblem-fortunes-weave-announced-due-in-2026/PAX: https://www.vooks.net/nintendo-to-return-to-pax-australia-2025/GBA: https://www.vooks.net/klonoa-empire-of-dreams-mr-driller-2-coming-to-gba-classics-lineup-next-week/Send us Fan MailSupport the showSocialsOllie:  @chocobalt on Bluesky Luke: @renderman7 on BlueskyAngelo: @manjell0 on BlueskyMichael: @subelement on BlueskyFind Vooks on social media, support the show and buy merch.
