Hi!! We're just days away from the big Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct and we're SO excited to see more of this game. We were already pretty hyped for this game when we saw it in the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct but we're ready to learn even more. This game has very high price point at $80 so we do need to see what makes this game big. Nintendo's been out there saying just that, so we're hoping to see it for ourselves in this Direct. What do you think? Do you have a few things on your list that you need to see in this Direct to convince you to pick-up a Switch 2 and Mario Kart World? Let us know in the comments!

Also in this episode, we react to the Donkey Kong Bananza leak and the news about Hades II as a console exclusive on Switch 2 at launch. We also watched the Minecraft movie and have deep thoughts about a chicken jockey. We wrap it all up with questions from our incredible Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up!

Hello! We want to dig into this complicated situation with tariffs and what Nintendo's options are for the Switch 2 launch now. Nintendo is for sure doing this exercise inside the company right now as they consider these options and ultimately make a decision on the best one for them. The one they choose will give show us what type of company they are and will play a role in deciding whether or not Switch 2 will have long-term success. What do you think? Which option would you pick?

Hello! We finally got some answers from Nintendo about pricing and some other mysteries about the Nintendo Switch 2 this morning through a number of interviews they did at the event last week. We break down everything Nintendo is saying but more importantly tell you if we actually believe them. We worked at Nintendo on the communications team for over a decade and our job used to be writing these answers for Nintendo spokespeople during interviews. We're definitely looking at this with a critical eye to determine if what they're saying is true or if they are trying distract us with marketing jargon. If you found any interesting nuggets from these interviews, leave it in the comments!

Hi, the negative reaction around the pricing of Nintendo Switch 2 hardware and games such as Mario Kart World is dominating the conversation and overshadowing a lot of the information around the new system and games. We wanted to talk about how Nintendo might be reacting as this is happening especially since their Treehouse Live comments were flooded with fans demanding Nintendo to drop the price. Let's get into it!

Hi! We're officially a day away from the big Nintendo Switch 2 reveal Nintendo Direct! Before we finally see what this thing is and what it's all about, there's one more thought we wanted to share with all of you. Something we've been thinking a lot about is how entering the Switch 2 generation is going start a series of major changes for Nintendo. As we know, change is not inherently good or bad, but there is a lot that will be different at the company starting soon. There are a lot of factors that play into why this is and we break it all down in this video. What do you think and how do you feel about the end of the Switch 1 era and the beginning of the Switch 2 era? Tell us in the comments!

Hello and welcome to episode 156 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're sharing a really special story about our time with Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi - the two masterminds behind Nintendo Switch and the developers who are likely now working on Nintendo Switch 2! We had the great opportunity to spend two weeks with both of them on a cross country tour when Nintendo Switch launched in 2017 and it was amazing to get to know them and truly absorb from the geniuses themselves the philosophy and inspiration behind Nintendo Switch. We haven't seen or heard from the developers in awhile but we think they'll make an appearance for Switch 2 and we can't wait to see them again. Also in this episode, we play a fun game of "guess the developer" and we have a massive "games we're playing" segment. We're playing seven games right now!

Hello and welcome to episode 155 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today, we have another ex-Nintendo employee on to react to the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. Stephenie worked at Nintendo for 11 years and saw the company through the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U AND Nintendo Switch eras. She also famously produced the Nintendo Minute series. She's one of our good friends and we can't wait to dish about what she thought of the Switch 2 reveal. Also in this episode, we talk about the games we're playing and Stephenie blows our minds with a new game that was so not on our radar but now definitely is. We also talk about the Xbox Developer Direct and some other gaming news. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community.

Hello and welcome to episode 154 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're going to talk about the questions Nintendo really doesn't want you to ask about Switch 2 right now. This is something that happens with every new product and a term that the one and only Reggie Fils-Aime used to use is "soft underbelly" which means these are the areas where you might be vulnerable. So what are these questions and how might Nintendo answer them? Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Would You Rather - Switch 2 edition and we are playing the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and share how we're liking the game. We wrap it all up with the news and some great questions from our Patreon community. Tons of stuff coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 150 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast - it's also our last podcast for 2024 wow! Can you believe that 2025 marks the half decade? Time is going so fast. We thought it would be fun to look at the games that have come out in the last five years and get to the top 10 games of the half decade. We're doing it a really fun way where we each get to remove games off of a huge list and we also have a save each in case the other person removes a game that is unacceptable. Also in this episode, we check back on our 2024 predictions. Spoiler, we did not do very well since we were really expecting Switch 2 to be announced and come out this year! We go through some new games we're playing and react to the latest news and wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers!

Also in this episode, we react to even more Switch 2 rumors and what it means for Nintendo closing the eShop in China. We're playing even more games as we try to make sure we're ready for the game of the year discussions so we've been spending some time with Stellar Blade, Black Myth Wukong and Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake.

Also in this episode, we talk about the latest update on the Nintendo vs. Palworld lawsuit. We also share our progress on Pokemon TCG Pocket and one of us goes on a little rant about it.

Today, we're digging into everything we know about Mario & Luigi: Brothership and asking ourselves the big important questions before we play this game. Also in this episode, we talk about why the Nintendo Switch Online Playtest was a huge mess and what the big changes coming for Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp could mean for the future of Nintendo mobile games. We've both been playing a lot of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and share what we think as two people who haven't played a Call of Duty game for a long time. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community. Settle in!

Hello and welcome to episode 139 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we're talking about a topic that has been on our minds for awhile and especially since we came back from Japan. We got to thinking that the most iconic Nintendo developers are rapidly approaching retirement age and will soon be leaving the company. If we think the Switch 2 lifecycle will be similar to the Switch, it means it will last about 7 - 8 years where many of these developers will be well over the age of 65. What does this mean for Nintendo and are they prepared for this eventuality? We dig into all of this on today's episode. Also in this episode, we have been playing so many games. We've beat The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and we started Metaphor ReFantazio after all the hype. We have some news and answer some great questions from our Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up!

0:00 - The end of an era is nigh
12:32 - Switch 2 will be the last generation for these iconic Nintendo developers

Hello and welcome to episode 135 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the horizon, we wanted to talk about the big elephant in the room for Zelda games - the story. We're debating if story is actually important and needed in Zelda games. With the timeline a work in progress (putting it nicely!) and Nintendo refusing to officially acknowledge or put any importance on the story, should fans care? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we talk about our impressions playing Astro Bot which has taken the world by storm! We discuss how Nintendo might be feeling with PlayStation making a game that feels like a Nintendo game. Does Nintendo care? Are they panicking about Sony copying them? We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors. Do we think there's any truth to the system potentially getting revealed soon or are we getting a bit tired of all this? All this and more is coming right up.

Hello and welcome to episode 133 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we have a whole heap of Nintendo news that we're going to be digging into. We were a bit surprised that there was a double whammy Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase AND an Indie World Showcase that dropped this week. This is a bit unlike Nintendo's usual schedule of having these in mid-late September so what could this mean? Also, there was a Nintendo Direct last week showing us this Nintendo Museum and while we're excited to finally see it, we do have some thoughts and feelings about if this museum lived up to our expectations. We've also been jamming through a ton of games and getting ready for our next spoilercast on Emio: The Smiling Man Famicom Detective Club. We got a big episode coming up!

We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 news with developers saying they don't expect the system to launch any earlier than April 2025. In our Never a Minute segment, we test our spelling skills with an exciting Pokemon spelling bee. Spoiler, we did not do well.

We swear that we are not making any of this up but you might think we are because it was truly unhinged.

Hello and welcome to episode 128 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week, we're starting our long goodbye to Nintendo Switch by digging into 20 reasons why it was SO incredibly successful. A lot of things had to go just right for Switch to be a hit and the pressure was definitely on at Nintendo to make sure it went well. Nintendo Switch will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it was the last system we launched at Nintendo so it feels great to reflect back on what happened over these past 7 years. Also in this episode, we react to the reveal of Emio and talk about what the new Joy-Con charging accessory really means. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon family.

Hello and welcome to Episode 126 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we wanted to share a story about one of the worst days we ever had working at Nintendo. We absolutely loved our time there but as with all things in life, sometimes you have an off day and it's not that fun. Also in this episode, we have the legendary Victor Lucas from The Electric Playground on as a special guest to talk about his career in games which spans over 30 years. It's a jam-packed episode. Let's get this show on the road!
