On this week's episode of the Vookcast, Ollie is joined by Angelo and Michael as we into discussions about the launch of Nintendo Switch Sports, a couple of high profile releases doing the ol' switcheroo, a duology of Aussie news, and Square Enix selling off its western development assets to invest in NFTs.
We also have discuss the recent damning reports from IGN and Kotaku about the poor working environment for Nintendo contractors at the company's North American headquarters.
