Hello and welcome to episode 133 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we have a whole heap of Nintendo news that we're going to be digging into. We were a bit surprised that there was a double whammy Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase AND an Indie World Showcase that dropped this week. This is a bit unlike Nintendo's usual schedule of having these in mid-late September so what could this mean? Also, there was a Nintendo Direct last week showing us this Nintendo Museum and while we're excited to finally see it, we do have some thoughts and feelings about if this museum lived up to our expectations. We've also been jamming through a ton of games and getting ready for our next spoilercast on Emio: The Smiling Man Famicom Detective Club. We got a big episode coming up!

0:00 - What's next for Nintendo?

Hi and welcome to episode 132 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've got a lot of goodness jammed into this episode. Let's start with talking about a Nintendo legend who just retired. Don James has worked at Nintendo for over 40 years and had a huge impact on the company but many might not know too much about him so let us tell you! We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 news with developers saying they don't expect the system to launch any earlier than April 2025. In our Never a Minute segment, we test our spelling skills with an exciting Pokemon spelling bee. Spoiler, we did not do well. We're playing a ton of new games with a few hidden gems that we can't wait to tell you about and we wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

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!

In our Never A Minute segment, we do a draft of Pokemon starters from every generation to build our perfect team. We've also been playing a ton of games lately from Marvel Snap to Persona 5 to Bayonetta 3 and we want to tell you all about it.

Hi and welcome to episode 37 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Can you believe it's already the 5 year anniversary of Super Mario Odyssey? Time sure flies. We tell you all about this incredible launch that we were very involved in and how we almost didn't survive the stress. We also had a big weekend going to New York to be on the Nontendo Podcast where we spill the tea all about the drama with the Nintendo Creator Program so head over there and listen to that episode now. Wood and Bob from Nontendo were also gracious enough to be on this episode of our podcast where we  determine the scariest video game character using our very scientific bracket. We also share a handful of news, talk about the games we are playing (a lot of Mario + Rabbids) and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. It's another full show so let's go!

Hi and welcome to a very special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Not only is it our biggest episode ever, but this week we have Geoff Keighley on the show to talk all about The Game Awards and how he become such an important part of the gaming industry. We also tell a fun shared Nintendo story about the time Koji Kondo performed at the very first Game Awards way back in 2014. It's really fun to share a storytime with you from not only our perspective as insiders but also Geoff's! We continue with our SHOCK-tober goodness this week with a fun candy ranking Never A Minute segment but then we have to get down to some serious business in our news section. Unfortunately, there have been some not so positive news stories around Bayonetta 3 and G4 shutting down (AGAIN!) that we talk in depth about in our news section. This is a loooooong episode so settle on in and let's get to it.
