Strictly Classified - #29904 May 202601:52:43

In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Luke, and Michael are back to chat about a host of recently classified but totally unannounced games for Switch 2. They also dive deep into new announcements for upcoming Switch 2 games, like Splatoon Raiders, Orbitals, and Final Fantasy 14, and lament the messy world of HDR content.

It's all capped off with an incredible game of Nintendo 20 Questions. Did you guess Ollie's game?

Vookcast #289: The Tradition Lives On!22 Sep 202502:05:40

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.

#196 - Let's Pour One Out for the 3DS27 Sep 202000:56:38

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Ollie, Andrew and Daniel to reminisce about the 3DS’s life, now that Nintendo has officially killed off any further manufacturing. We go through some of our most memorable moments with the system, look back on its announcement, and even react to every 3DS variant.

We know the console is important to many gamers over the 2010s, and it has a special place in hearts of the Vooks team, too. So here’s to the Nintendo 3DS, and all of the wonderful, strange, and even frustrating experiences it brought to us all.

What are some of your favourite 3DS memories? Did you ever get one of the limited edition models? Did you collect every puzzle piece in Puzzle Swap? Come raise a glass with us in the Vooks Discord!

#195 - Get Ready to Buy Super Mario Bros. Again, For $8013 Sep 202001:04:25

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Ollie, Luke and Paul to discuss Nintendo’s worst-kept 2020 secret--Mario’s 35th anniversary--and break down the good, the bad and the pricey.

With Super Mario 3D All-Stars, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity strategically lined up to cap off 2020, we ask ourselves: is this what Nintendo’s banking on carrying the Switch through the holiday shopping period, with two next-gen consoles on the horizon?

What got you most excited out of the Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct? Are you happy to drop $80 on another Super Mario Bros. re-release? Are you also hoping Tingle will be playable in the new Hyrule Warriors? Join the conversation in our new Vookcast channel at the Vooks Discord!

#194 - Wait, How Broken is Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles?30 Aug 202001:08:04

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Paul and Chris to discuss exactly how broken Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition really is (hint: very broken), as well as the surprise Nintendo Mini Direct: Partner Showcase. 

Following the resurgence of rumours about a more powerful Switch model looming on the horizon (again), we put forward our wishlist of features we want to see if that announcement ever happens. Plus we give our current eShop recommendations and look towards this fortnight’s upcoming releases.

Have you been affected by Crystal Chronicles’ broken online co-op? Are you looking forward to Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 as well? What’s on your New Nintendo Switch wishlist? HONK with us in the Vooks Discord!

#193 - Will Pikmin Finally Become a Hit on Switch?16 Aug 202001:03:51

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Ollie and Luke to look through Nintendo’s latest financial figures and discuss how big of a deal Animal Crossing has become, and whether or not it will overtake Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the Switch’s best-seller. The crew also chat about the surprise Pikmin 3 Deluxe announcement, and how it might find new life on the Switch this October.

Speaking of Mario Kart, we take a moment to indulge our thirst for a new entry to the series by sharing our thoughts on what we’d like to see in the inevitable Mario Kart 9. Capping off the show is what we’re playing, eShop recommendations, and the fortnight forecast (late August is a doozy!).

Are you excited about Pikmin 3 finding new life on the Switch? What would you want out of a new Mario Kart? Did you tune into Animal Talking’s interview with Xbox head, Phil Spencer? Join the discussion in the Vooks Discord!

#192 - Does Videogame Preservation Justify Stealing?02 Aug 202001:13:30

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Ollie and Michael, our Discord moderator, to dig into the Nintendo Gigaleak which unfolded a lot of development details from many high-profile SNES and N64 games. There’s also the new Animal Crossing: New Horizons which helps lay further foundations for island backups and restoration (sort of…?), pricing and release window of the Analogue Pocket, and some anticipation around Nintendo’s Q1 financials coming later this week.

Capping off the show is what we’re playing, eShop recommendations, and the fortnight forecast (hint: nothing interesting). We also break to a separate segment where Ollie and Michael have a spoilerific chat about Paper Mario: The Origami King.

How do you feel about the theft of Nintendo history? Will you be pre-ordering the Analogue Pocket? Do you get as excited about corporate financials as Ollie? Join the discussion in the Vooks Discord!

#191 - Everyone’s Excited About Mario’s 35th Anniversary—Except Nintendo19 Jul 202001:00:41

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Luke and Andrew to discuss their experiences with Paper Mario: The Origami King, currently the last big Nintendo release we know about for 2020. We also talk about even more Super Mario LEGO sets on the way, as well as a new Nintendo partnership with Monopoly and Jenga.

Topping off the show, as usual, are our eShop recommendations (it’s been a while, but there are some solid choices again!) as well as the release forecast. Note: Crysis Remastered got un-delayed!

We also discuss how Pokémon-heavy recent years have been, and whether or not that will slow down any time soon. And of course, we bring you our eShop recommendations as well as the release forecast.

#188 - Is Creativity Stalling on the Switch?08 Jun 202001:17:31

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Ollie and Chris to talk about Pokémon Sword and Shield’s first expansion, The Isle of Armor, releasing on June 17. We also get into some of those new Gigantamax forms for some old favourites, as well as the Summer Games Done Quick 2020 event adapting to the current pandemic crisis.

Being lighter on news this episode, we discuss whether creativity has stalled somewhat lately with Switch releases, looking at the recent wave of remasters, and those still on the way. Then we sift through the enormous eShop sales to share our personal recommendations.

#187 - Has Nintendo Been Isolating Harder than the Rest of Us?17 May 202001:11:39

On this week's Vookcast, Angelo is joined by Ollie and Luke to discuss Paper Mario: The Origami King’s surprise announcement, new additions to the NES and SNES Switch apps, how many sales Animal Crossing: New Horizons has made so far, and Star Wars Episode I: Racer’s delay… on the day of release.

We also turn our attention towards Nintendo’s awkward silence over this isolation period, and whether the company’s made the most of appealing to so many people staying home. As usual, we also bring you our eShop sale recommendations for the week, along with what’s coming out in the next couple of weeks (hint: an underwater city, an interplanetary treasure hunt, as well as an alien invasion - all in the same day!).

Are you excited for a new Paper Mario? Were you looking forward to picking up Episode I: Racer? Has Nintendo kept you satisfied while being stuck at home for the last couple of months? Be part of the conversation and join the turnip bonanza over in the Vooks Discord!

Vookcast #286: Going Bananas30 Jun 202501:40:00

In this episode of the Vookcast, Ollie, Michael, Angelo, and Luke discuss the recent Donkey Kong Bananza Direct, then get sidetracked for an hour while trying to discuss Little Nightmares, Drag X Drive, a new game from Arc System Works, and so much more.

It's all capped off with another round of Nintendo 20 Questions, which given it was Luke picking the game, was a real challenge.

#161 - Live from PAX AUS 201707 Nov 201701:00:56

We were able to record an actual live, in-person episode of the Vookcast while in Melbourne for PAX Australia this year. It was weird, you could see everyone.

There was some cool Nintendo stuff to see at PAX this year, so we ran down the cool indies, major releases and Nintendo-adjacent panels we managed to catch during the hectic weekend.

Hey, so that SNES Mini came out and we found out that the Wii Shop Channel is going away for good, so Steven, Josh and Chris all sat down to have a chat about the whole thing.

We've been playing some games too, so I picked the brains of our guests to get some juicy discussion around NBA 2K18, Yo Kai Watch 2: Psychic Specters and Mario & Luigi.

#158 - Direct to Metroid21 Sep 201701:22:42

A bit of a change of pace for this episode. It's not often a great new Metroid game comes out, so we've pulled together three dudes who've played through Samus Returns for review for a full on special spoilercast. Don't worry, we sound the official Spoiler Horn before going into anything you might not want to know before playing.

Don't worry, we didn't forget the Nintendo Direct from the other day either, we went through a bunch of the more interesting tidbits of information from that as well before diving into Metroid chat.

They also go over Nintendo's strange announcement of a new Splatoon game, some very strong Switch 2 launch sales, James Bond, and so much more.It's all capped off with another round of Nintendo 20 Questions, which probably doesn't go how you'd expect.
