In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Luke, Angelo, and Michael are back to celebrate 300 episodes (and a few specials) of the Vookcast by... doing what they always do: get distracted. They discuss the latest Nintendo financial results, the retirement of a key architect of the Super Mario and Zelda franchises, a brand-new mobile game from Nintendo, and so much more. They also dive deep into the recently announced Switch 2 price increase, as well as the announcement of a brand-new Star Fox game and its seed-eating shortcomings.
It's all capped off with an incredible game of Nintendo 20 Questions. Did you guess Michael's game?
We also want to thank every single listener of the Vookcast over the years. It means a lot to everyone that you continue to watch and/or listen to each and every episode, and your patronage drives us to keep going as we celebrate the Vookcast's 20th year. There's also a surprise for our loyal listeners in the episode — and it's so surprising that even we don't really know what it is.
