Hello and welcome to episode 207 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we want to talk about this interesting thing we noticed where Nintendo has a lot of high end stuff that they want you to buy, it's all very expensive and guess what? It's not even a video game or a Switch 2! What's going on? Does this mean Nintendo is focusing less on games and more and the stuff? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we have a monster news section where we talk about another Nintendo legend who secretly retired, the new Splatoon update, the recent NSO leak, games coming to the Virtual Boy and so much more! We're playing some new games and we have some great questions from our Patreon community including a juicy one on what Mr. Iwata and Reggie were like when they were really mad. Settle on in for a good time!

Hello! Capcom invited us to play Resident Evil Requiem early and we decided to be brave and go check out the game. We played for a good 3.5 hours and were able to play as both Leon Kennedy and Grace. Unfortunately Capcom didn't have the game on Switch 2 for us to try out but it was a lot of fun and very scary.
