Free Update to Bluey: The Videogame Introduces Muffin and Uncle Stripe

Sure thing, here goes:

So, there’s this thing with Outright Games dropping another update for Bluey: The Videogame on the Switch. Yeah, it’s free. And who doesn’t love free stuff? Anyway — oh wait, let’s focus here — you can now play as Muffin, she’s like the flamingo queen, and her dad, Uncle Stripe. Apparently, they’ve got a thing for flamingos and squash, which honestly, who even knew that was a thing? Collecting flamingos and rackets, unlocking pics for some Sticker Book—is this nostalgia or what? Plus, you swap stars and medals for, I don’t know, neat stuff.

And Bluey, she’s like the dog the whole planet’s barking about—won awards and everything. It’s funny how a cartoon dog gets us all to chill and binge-watch. Bluey lives with her Mom, Dad, and that little ball of energy, Bingo. Games are kinda her life, but she plays them her own quirky way, and it’s a riot, really.

The voices, by the way, are from, like, the real show. So cool, right? You get the dad’s voice, Bandit, that’s David McCormack, and the mom, Chilli, voiced by Melanie Zanetti. Think about stepping right into Bluey’s world with places from the show, like her home (they say it’s perfectly done, whatever that means).

They’ve got this story-driven thing going on too. Activities inspired by the show and all. Yeah, BBC, Artax Games, all those guys chipped in. It’s supposed to be episodic, and brings some new storyline—four parts of it. Can you tell they’ve put effort into this?

The game’s like super chill. You do things at your own speed, switch between quests whenever. Four people can join the fun, controlling Bluey, Bingo, Mom, and Dad. Minigames galore—Keepy Uppy – like, who comes up with these names – and Magic Xylophone. You earn stuff: costumes, stickers, maybe an episode or two. Sounds like someone’s hitting nostalgia hard here.

And wait—the kicker? It drops on November 17, 2023. So if you’re into retail therapy or digital buys, the Nintendo eShop’s got your back.

Phew, there we are. Hope you’re still with me.
