Hello and welcome to episode 28 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today we're talking about something a bit serious and frankly pretty upsetting and that's the recent news stories that have come out about harassment and the poor working conditions for contract workers at Nintendo. We have a few things that we think Nintendo should do immediately to start to get this back on the right track. Our storytime this week is about the sweetest victory in Fortnite but only because we struggled with major tech issues. We also can't believe that it's been 6 months since we started the Kit & Krysta channel and we want to do a little progress report to see how we're doing and also get your thoughts on where we can improve and what other types of content you'd like to see. We go though games we're playing which includes some "emotional damage" from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and then wrap it up with questions from our wonderful Patreon family. Let's do it!

Hello and welcome to episode 26 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today we'll be sharing some fun stories about office pranks we pulled on each other and with our good friends at Nintendo. We can't believe we never got into to trouble and we also can't believe that the foundation of a lot of our friends are built on a prank titled "poopy chair". In our Never a Minute segment, we'll be discussing some ridiculous but also possible "what if" scenarios in video game history. We're deep in Xenoblade Chronicles 3 in games we are playing. We go through Nintendo's financials in the news segment and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. Buckle up and let's go!

25: Six Pokémon that need to Disappear FOREVER Aug 04, 2022

Show notes

Hi friends and welcome to episode 25 of podcast. How exciting that we've made to this milestone! Already 1/4 of the way to 100. We all have Pokemon on the brain after the Pokemon Presents event so we played a fun game of deciding which three Pokemon can go ahead and just disappear...forever! Today we also tell a really fun story about our first time meeting Yuji Horii, the creator of the Dragon Quest series, and spent a magical week with him in New York. He really is one of the sweetest people we had the chance to work with at Nintendo. We talk about games we are playing (a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 3), go through the news and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon family.

19: There's NO June Nintendo Direct and Here's Why Jun 23, 2022

Show notes

Hi everyone, here we are at Episode 19 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Big news this week that a Nintendo Direct was technically announced but it wasn't quite what we all wanted. We go into depth on this and tons more on this episode. We also share a very random story about the most dangerous business trip we ever went on and how we put our very lives in danger for a burrito. We also have some major Ninja Turtle fever along with everyone else so we do a fun character bracket of our favorite character in our Never a Minute segment.

In other very exciting news, we've launched official Kit & Krysta merch - woohoo! We're super excited about this and we hope you are too. This is another way you can support us and keep this channel going! Jam packed show and jam packed week as usual so let's go. COWABUNGA!
