Hello and welcome to episode 120 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we'll be sharing our thoughts after playing a whole bunch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Nintendo Switch. We were so hyped for this game but does it live up to our super high expectations? We dig into all the nitty gritty details - what we love, what we don't and everything in between. Also in this episode, we share our thoughts about Nintendo opening a new store in our hometown of San Francisco. Also, Nintendo just acquired Shiver and we discuss why we think this is critical for them leading up to the launch of Switch 2. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community. All this is coming right up!

Hi and welcome to episode 118 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! TODAY, we'll be talking about how Nintendo has basically won the console wars. Or have they? So much has happened over the last few weeks around the games industry with really bad layoffs and studio closures from Microsoft and Sony in a constant state of needing to squeeze more profit for the incredibly expensive games they're making. With Nintendo announcing officially that Switch 2 is on the way and still showing super strong sales for original Switch, they've won right? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we react to even more Switch 2 leaks, share some early predictions for the June Nintendo Direct, and we're playing a ton of cool indie games. We wrap it all up with questions from our adorable Patreon subscribers. A packed episode is coming right up! Get comfy.

Hello and welcome to episode 116 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we'll be sharing with you a fond memory we both have of Satoru Iwata. We were so lucky to have worked under Mr. Iwata when we were at Nintendo and it might surprise you how often we got to see Mr. Iwata. He was consistently in our office and we spent a lot of time one-on-one with him. One of the many wonderful things about Mr. Iwata was he would not only talk to us about the Nintendo business but he would often share with us his own life philosophies. We learned so much from him and we still hold his lessons near and dear to our hearts to this day. Also in this episode, we react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors and we share our impressions of the latest round of indie games that have come out on Nintendo Switch. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and much more is coming right up!

Hi and welcome to episode 115 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're diving into the topic of emulation and how Nintendo is handling the new Delta emulation app on the Apple App Store. Delta coming to Apple has changed the conversation around emulation a bit since it's made it feel more mainstream and accessible - something Nintendo is not going to be happy about, but what can they actually do about it? Let's dig into this topic! Also in this episode, we have a special guest joining us, Stealth40K who is a prominent member of the Nintendo fan community. We chat with Stealth about the state of Nintendo's relationship with fans and what they can do better as Nintendo prepares for the launch of Switch 2. We've played A TON of indie games this week after the Indie Game Showcase and we tell you all about the ones we loved in the games we're playing segment.

Hello and welcome to episode 114 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week, we're starting our fun podcast series diving into Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door! This game is coming out in about a month on Nintendo Switch and we can't wait to play it. Today we're going to be talking about everything you need to know before you play this game.

Also in this episode, we tell you why Nintendo is not attending Gamescom this year and react to John Cena's viral Zelda Instagram post. We're playing some new games this week and we're watching the new Fallout show and we wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hi and welcome to episode 113 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we'll be talking about what Nintendo can do to buy some time since it seems like the Switch 2 won't be out until 2025. We're entering an interesting time where after the summer, we actually don't know what Nintendo is planning and what games are coming out for the rest of the year. We have some ideas of what Nintendo could be doing to keep everything moving along and still make 2024 a great year. Also in this episode, we're playing a lot of new games but on some unexpected systems and we dive into the drama that's happening at Square Enix with the Dragon Quest development teams. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All of this is coming right up!
