Hello and welcome to episode 222 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we want to talk about Shigeru Miyamoto and his complicated legacy working at Nintendo for nearly 50 years! His role has changed so much from when he first started at the company in the 1970s and has really evolved into something completely different. How will people remember Mr. Miyamoto when he finally decides to retire? These are the big questions we're asking. Also in this episode, more news has emerged about Nintendo's financials. Nintendo's stock is plummeting and we discuss if Nintendo is worried about this. We also have more comments from Nintendo global president Shuntaro Furukawa on what the company is doing to keep Switch 2 momentum high despite the upcoming price hike. We also started to play Indiana Jones on the Switch 2 and we're super impressed with this version of the game and we'll tell you why. We also finished Mixtape, the new indie game that's getting all sorts of buzz. We have so much in this jam-packed episode so settle on in!

Hi! So.... the Star Fox leak from Nate the Hate was real and very accurate so what does this mean for the rest of the leaked games that have been rumored this year for Nintendo Switch 2? Do we just know a bunch of Nintendo's entire 2026 - 2027 release calendar? How do we feel about the surprise being gone? What is Nintendo going to do to stop the leaks? Let's discuss!

Hello and welcome to episode 218 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we're going to put ourselves in the shoes of Shuntaro Furukawa and Shigeru Miyamoto and decided what the next big Nintendo movie should be. It's interesting because after Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda, the next big Nintendo franchise to adapt for a movie is harder to choose. What should it be? Luigi's Mansion? Star Fox? Pikmin? Fire Emblem? There are a lot of options. Also in this episode, we react to some NEW news about The Legend of Zelda movie, Elden Ring pricing and 007 First Light getting delayed on Switch 2. We're playing a lot of new games we can't wait to tell you about. All this and more is coming right up!
