Hello and welcome to episode 48 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we'll be discussing who we think are the 10 most important people in the gaming industry right now. We love this topic because it's endlessly debatable and our list might be very different than yours. Also in this episode, we share a story about a blizzard that almost trapped one of us during a Nintendo press tour. We also talk about the games we're playing, talk about some recent news from CES and answer questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All of this is coming up right now!

Hi, and welcome to episode 46 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're recording this the day after Christmas so it's going to be a bit of a shorter more chill episode. We'll talk about the recent happenings with Nintendo setting all of the Nintendo Minute videos to private and go into why we think this is and what we think this means and of course how we feel about it all. The bulk of this episode will be dedicated to answering questions from our wonderful Patreon community. We're a bit behind since we didn't do a Q&A segment in our GOTY episode so doing a bit of catch-up here. Hope you're all having a great holiday and enjoy the last episode of 2022. We can't wait to tell you what we have in store for 2023. It's going to be great!

Hi Friends and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're very festive this week but we do have to talk about a topic that isn't very jolly and it's all this drama with Nintendo and the competitive Smash community. We've worked closely on this while we were at Nintendo and things are pretty dire. Perhaps it's time for Nintendo to just throw up the white flag and give up trying to control this. We can't jump straight into the unpleasantness so let's ease in with a fun storytime about when we had to steal a Christmas tree to salvage a Nintendo Minute episode about to go awry. We also share our favorite holiday vibe games in our Never A Minute segment. We have a super meaty Games We are Playing segment because we both beat God of War! And of course we answer a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.
0:00 - The pink Christmas tree is UP!
10:23 - Stolen Christmas tree saves Nintendo Minute
18:37 - Holiday vibe games

Hello and welcome to episode 42 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're getting so close to The Game Awards so we have another story to share about the year Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey were both nominated for Game of the Year. Somehow this caused mass panic inside Nintendo but it was certainly an iconic year for the company. We are both deep in God of War so we share our latest thoughts and feelings on the game. In our news section we talk about how Pokemon Scarlet/Violet broke every record imaginable even though the game has some glaring performance issues and discuss what this means for the future of the franchise. We wrap it all up by answering questions from our wonderful Patreon community.
0:00 - One of us is sick, guess who?
9:32 - Storytime: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey at The Game Awards in 2017 (Nintendo panicked!)

Happy Thanksgiving! We're so excited for this episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Hopefully you're all turkey'ed out and listening to this while you digest. This week we'll be predicting who we think will be the winners at The Game Awards. We have 19 categories that we're going through. We also predict some reveals that will be "WORLD PREMIERING" at the show. This is a meaty segment so this will be both story time and our Never A Minute segment this week. We also dig into games we're playing and discuss whether the performance issues in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet have tainted our experience. We've both also been playing a ton of God of War. We go through a handful of news and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon family. All of this is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to a very special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're looking back at the launch of Wii U on its 10 year anniversary. We can't believe it's already been 10 years and we have some complicated feelings about this system since we were working so closely on the launch and the Wii U era was such an interesting/hard time to work at Nintendo. We also talk about games we are playing and we're both super excited to dive into God of War and talk to you about it. We have a beefy news section covering the TGA nominations and of course, we answer questions from our fabulous Patreon subscribers. This is a special one so let's get going!

Hi and welcome to episode 39 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We got another very provocative question from one of our wonderful Patreon subscribers all about leaks. We thought we would examine what leaks mean with our insider knowledge and ask ourselves the question of whether leaks are always bad. Also in this episode, we tell a really fun story about the time we cooked curry with Pokemon developers. In our Never A Minute segment today we play another rousing game of Kiss, Marry, Kill with characters from action games. It gets real weird real fast. We also talk about the games we're playing in the pre-God Of War era, share a handful of news and answer even more questions from our Patreon family. All of this is coming up so get comfy!
