Vookcast #290: Close To You?
Description
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.
