Welcome to episode 167 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we wanted to dig into the topic of what Nintendo can do in the time left before Switch 2 launches to regain control over some of the negativity around the system. This launch has been a bit rocky for them and they've experienced some real highs and lows but there are still a few things they can do to really make sure the launch is as successful as possible. If we were still at Nintendo, these would be the things we would be proposing. Also in this episode we react and talk about the insider details on the Switch 2 ad featuring Paul Rudd and talk about the amiibo price hike - $40?! YIKES. We're also playing some fun new games and we wrap it all up with some amazing and insightful questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.
