Today we'll be digging into the actual job of the Nintendo of America president.

We're here to clear it all up for you and squash some of the rumors flying around. Also in this episode, we're playing a ton of new games on Nintendo Switch 2 and we dig into all the news coming out of Tokyo Game Show.

The recent announcement of the next Mario movie as The Super Mario Galaxy Movie got us thinking about the next 3D Mario game. Now that Nintendo is starting to truly become an entertainment company, does it make sense that the next 3D Mario game is Super Mario Galaxy 3? We want to study the clues and bread crumbs and see how likely this is. Also in this episode, we go through the rest of the games coming out in 2025 and talk about which ones we're definitely playing and which we'll be skipping. We also have a big new game we've been playing - Hades 2 on Nintendo Switch 2. WOW! Hear our deep impressions of the game so far.

We are still thinking about the big Nintendo Direct last week and we want to dig deeper into people's reaction to the Direct. Tons of games were announced and Nintendo shared a lot of news but somehow, there are fans who still don't seem very excited about what's to come. Why is this? Is the Nintendo Direct formula, something that Nintendo started 10+ years ago, still working to meet Nintendo's goals when there are so many expectations placed on these presentations? We dig into the history and the original goals of a Direct and examine if it's still working for Nintendo. Also in this episode, we're playing a handful of new indie games and we discovered some new details about Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 on Nintendo Switch 2.

Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello! We've been thinking a lot about what Nintendo's long-term plan is to get new younger players into their gaming ecosystem. With gaming habits changing to SO much in the last few years, Nintendo is going to have to do some other things if they want to stay relevant with the younger generation. It's an interesting time to look into the question since the Switch 2 is selling so well, but this is a topic where they really need to look ahead into the future. Are they doing enough or are they doomed to fail?

Nintendo is definitely dealing with some challenges around getting launch dates settled for the rest of the announced 2025 Switch 2 games but where does that leave Kirby Air Riders? Is this game really coming out in 2025 and more importantly, does Nintendo feel like HAS to come out in 2025? We talk about how it works inside Nintendo when they make these kinds of decisions. What do you think? If this game is delayed, will you be devastated?

Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Greetings! We've been thinking a lot about the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that ran yesterday. We think it's very unusual that we're now in August and there are still five major Switch 2 games (Metroid Prime 4, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Remake) that are supposedly releasing this year, but somehow don't have a single release date between them. Based on our experience of actually working at Nintendo, this is something they are probably pretty concerned about and trying to get a handle on as soon as possible. Let's talk about what's going on, why it's happening, and what the scenarios are for what could happen from here.

We want to hear your thoughts about this so please tell us everything in the comments. What are your gaming habits? Will you be using GameChat on Switch 2?

We're just days away from the big Mario Kart World Nintendo Direct and we're SO excited to see more of this game.

Today, we're sharing a really special story about our time with Shinya Takahashi and Yoshiaki Koizumi - the two masterminds behind Nintendo Switch and the developers who are likely now working on Nintendo Switch 2! We had the great opportunity to spend two weeks with both of them on a cross country tour when Nintendo Switch launched in 2017 and it was amazing to get to know them and truly absorb from the geniuses themselves the philosophy and inspiration behind Nintendo Switch. We haven't seen or heard from the developers in awhile but we think they'll make an appearance for Switch 2 and we can't wait to see them again. Also in this episode, we play a fun game of "guess the developer" and we have a massive "games we're playing" segment. We're playing seven games right now! We also talk about the latest Nintendo sales information and what is going on with the trading feature in Pokemon TCG Pocket in our news section.

Join us today for tons of exclusive content on http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello and welcome to episode 139 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we're talking about a topic that has been on our minds for awhile and especially since we came back from Japan. We got to thinking that the most iconic Nintendo developers are rapidly approaching retirement age and will soon be leaving the company. If we think the Switch 2 lifecycle will be similar to the Switch, it means it will last about 7 - 8 years where many of these developers will be well over the age of 65. What does this mean for Nintendo and are they prepared for this eventuality? We dig into all of this on today's episode. Also in this episode, we have been playing so many games. We've beat The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and we started Metaphor ReFantazio after all the hype. We have some news and answer some great questions from our Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up! 0:00 - The end of an era is nigh 12:32 - Switch 2 will be the last generation for these iconic Nintendo developers 54:15 - Games we are playing (Metaphor ReFantazio, UFO 50, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Balatro) 1:26:39 - NEWS NEWS NEWS 1:37:53 - Questions from our Patreon community Patreon shout-outs! - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Ben Eichorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash, Ajay Kundlas, Fortygig Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta

With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the horizon, we wanted to talk about the big elephant in the room for Zelda games - the story. We're debating if story is actually important and needed in Zelda games. With the timeline a work in progress (putting it nicely!) and Nintendo refusing to officially acknowledge or put any importance on the story, should fans care? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we talk about our impressions playing Astro Bot which has taken the world by storm! We discuss how Nintendo might be feeling with PlayStation making a game that feels like a Nintendo game. Does Nintendo care? Are they panicking about Sony copying them? We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors. Do we think there's any truth to the system potentially getting revealed soon or are we getting a bit tired of all this?

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.

This week, we're starting our long goodbye to Nintendo Switch by digging into 20 reasons why it was SO incredibly successful. A lot of things had to go just right for Switch to be a hit and the pressure was definitely on at Nintendo to make sure it went well. Nintendo Switch will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it was the last system we launched at Nintendo so it feels great to reflect back on what happened over these past 7 years. Also in this episode, we react to the reveal of Emio and talk about what the new Joy-Con charging accessory really means. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon family. 0:00 - WE'RE BACK (in person) 17:10 - 20 reasons why Nintendo Switch is the best console EVER 1:02:14 - Games we're playing 1:23:47 - News news news 1:42:24 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Patreon shout-outs: - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Brustache, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash, Ajay Kundlas, Fortygig Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta

We surprised ourselves over the last few weeks because we've both been playing our Nintendo 3DS again. If you would have asked us in 2024 whether we'd be doing this, we would have thought it impossible. Recently, we played Mario Kart 7 with our Patreon community since the online servers are about to shut down and we recently revealed that our April spoilercast game is Chrono Trigger so we've been playing that on 3DS as well. It's actually so nice to play true handheld games again and it really made us think that dedicated handheld games are not really a thing anymore in gaming and we really miss them! Also in this episode, we tell you all about Nintendo's unique relationship with Nickelodeon and Krysta covering the Kid's Choice Awards from the Orange Carpet. We jump into games we're playing which again is a lot of handheld games! In our news section we tell you what we think about Nintendo's big shake-up to their product testing department and them laying off contractors.

Today we try to decide if 2023 is the best year for games ever. We certainly had a huge number of incredible games launch this year and we had more games than ever to play but does it beat out other iconic gaming years like 1996 when the Nintendo 64 launched? Or 1998 when The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid came out. Let's take a deep dive and figure it out once and for all. We also had the amazing honor of having the producer of the Ace Attorney series - Kenichi Hashimoto answering hard hitting questions from our community. Also in this episode, we have a monster Games We're Playing section with Kit beating Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and Krysta checking out a new puzzle game that everyone is talking about, Chants of Sennaar. We talk about the final end of E3 and the cancellation The Last of Us Online. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community. Big episode coming right up.

Not sure how many of you remember this but it's the 10 year anniversary of this truly bizarre event and if you don't know, this was the show that took place between the Spike TV Video Game Awards and Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards. It was an event that marked a transition for one of the biggest game industry events now and some really insane things took place that we were very closely involved with including a showdown between Reggie and Geoff Keighley.

With so many rumors about Switch 2 recently being shown to partners at Gamescom, it seems like we are closer than we think to learning more about this thing. So today, we're going to talk about 10 things Nintendo really needs to get right to make this next system a hit. It's really hard to transition from a super successful hardware generation to a new one so there is a lot to get right? Will it happen... we don't know but let's talk about it! Also in this episode, we have a monster games we are playing segment because we are playing some huge games. We also have quite a bit in the news segment where we'll dig into Aonuma's recent comments that there is no Tears of the Kingdom DLC, E3 trying to crawl back from the grave and more. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. It's a packed episode so let's go! 0:00 - What's happening? 11:18 - 10 things that need to happen for Switch 2 to be a hit 1:02:07 - Games we are playing (Starfield, Baldur's Gate 3, Fae Farm, Armored Core VI) 1:30:40 - News news news (Tears of the Kingdom DLC, E3, Switch 2 being shown) 1:41:35 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://www.youtube.com/@kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta

Today, we are joined by another amazing guest - Gene Park. Gene is the games writer for The Washington Post and he has so much knowledge about the state of video game journalism and what the future will look like for games media. Gene also has a ridiculous amount of access, probably more than most game journalists to the inner workings of Nintendo so he shares some stories about what it's been like interviewing Nintendo developers and getting early access to the biggest Nintendo games. Gene is an incredible person who has shared so much about himself. We're huge fans of him and we hope you are too. Also in this episode, we finished Final Fantasy 16 and share our final thoughts on the ending, don't worry, no spoilers. We also dig into Nintendo's recent financials and share some light thoughts on the Pokemon Showcase. We wrap it all up with questions from our incredible Patreon community.

She's here in-studio to air all her grievances with us (just kidding) but she does have some really fun stories and even things WE don't know about. This is her Nintendo Minute "tell all" and let us tell you... it's juicy stuff. Also in this episode, we're still in our dabble phase with games so we have a big variety of stuff we're playing.

We have a very special guest today - Jeff Grubb! Jeff is at the center of a lot of Nintendo rumors and we've said before how we trust him because he truly has a different process, approach and sources when he shares information about unannounced stuff. We want to dig into this a bit more because Jeff has a tough job. Also, when we were at Nintendo, we were on the other side of these rumors so hearing about it from Jeff's perspective is really interesting. Also in this episode, we talk about the latest PS5 Pro rumors and the latest with the Dolphin emulator on Steam. We are juggling SO many games right now but it's great because who doesn't want tons of fun games to play. This week, we give you our latest progress on Final Fantasy 16, Viewfinder, Dordogne and Disney Illusion Island. We wrap it all up with a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon family.

Today we're going to dig into an interesting and potentially scary topic about preserving classic games. The Video Game Foundation published some very jarring data that almost 90% of classic games are unavailable to play. Let's take a look at this from the side of players, publishers and those trying to find ways to preserve these games. Are we too late and will some of these games disappear forever? Also in this episode, we tell a story about when Kit's life was almost ruined at San Diego Comic-Con.

We finally make that big list of all the 2023 games we would like to play only to have reality set in and bring us to the sad realization that we literally CANNOT play all these games so we have to choose, and we're choosing right now. We talk about some of the games we are playing including Krysta's final thoughts on Ghost Trick after beating the game.

We're making some great progress in Final Fantasy 16 and we've been playing a few indie games like Dave the Diver on Steam and Ghost Trick.

We know we're getting close to the end of the lifecycle but the golden years sure are going strong with amazing titles launching later this year and into next year. What does this all mean for the future of Nintendo and when will we get the next Nintendo hardware? Do we even need the next hardware or are we all just pretty happy with what we got coming up? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we share our final thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom after we've both beat the game.

We have a ton of stuff to talk about today. We've both done 3 our of 4 of the "dungeons" in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and we have some thoughts and feelings about them. First of all, these are 100% not traditional Zelda dungeons and we think this confirms that traditional Zelda dungeons as we know it are pretty much gone forever. Let's discuss. We also got Street Fighter 6 early (Thanks Capcom) so we tell you all about what we think of the game so far. In our storytime, we tell you about the extravagant world of PlayStation E3 parties. Like the Zelda dungeons these are never coming back so good thing we experienced them when they were a thing! We have a lot of news coming out of the PlayStation Showcase last week and we talk about this whole Dolphin Emulator on steam getting shut down by Nintendo.

We have a huge episode today with a ton of goodness so let's get into it. We're going to be talking about Nintendo and if they are at the tippy top of the company's long history right in this moment. With The Super Mario Bros Movie about to make a billion dollars, the Nintendo Switch having an extended life and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom about to launch, this might be the peak for Nintendo. But as they say, when you get to the top of the top there's no where left to go but down. Can Nintendo keep this momentum or will there be some sort of inevitable crash? In our Nintendo Storytime, we'll be tell you a story about The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and how the launch of it well... went off the tracks (sorry we couldn't help ourselves). We'll have Zelda themed storytimes from now until Tears of the Kingdom launches so we hope you'll look forward to that!

We share some of our opinions and give you some insight into what Nintendo thinks about when they do things like this. We've also been thinking a lot about Tears of the Kingdom since we all watched (and loved) the final trailer. We talk about how we're currently feeling about the game and if we can just lock it in now for Game of the Year. We share a really fun storytime about working on the Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony and why it's one of our favorite memories of all time.

Today we're going to be spotlighting one of our favorite people of all time, Mr. Iwata. We'll tell you why The Super Mario Bros. Movie is actually the culmination of Mr. Iwata's vision for Nintendo that he was championing over 10 years ago. We miss him so much and we're grateful to have known him. We know that seeing the success of the Mario Movie would have made him proud. Also in this episode, we tell you a really fun story about Mr. Miyamoto and his favorite food. It's the end of the first quarter of 2023 so we do a little check in on the games we've played so far and if there is a GOTY contender among them.

It's been a very exciting few days because we were invited to The Super Mario Bros. Movie world premiere. Can you believe it? This is the first Nintendo event we've attended since we've left the company and we knew there would be some very important Nintendo people there. That made us a little bit nervous because we weren't sure how those interactions would go. Not to bury the lede but we did have a mini reunion with Mr. Miyamoto and we'll tell you all about how that went in the episode. We're in the Mario movie spirit so for our Never A Minute segment we're doing our very fun and scientific character bracket to determine who is the best character from the movie. We also talk about the games we're playing with some updates on both our progress in Resident Evil 4.

We've had a busy week with the new game play from The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom dropping. This got us thinking about the latest discussion around people being disappointed about not knowing much about this game and if that's going to hinder them from buying. We're here to call shenanigans on that! It seems like no matter what Nintendo does with the marketing of Tears of the Kingdom a huge percentage of people are going to buy this game regardless of what they are saying now. Maybe all this complaining is just for the sake of complaining? Also in this episode we tell you a story about a Nintendo event we know you've never heard about. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst events ever. We also have a really fun segment where we take all our big gaming questions to the AI robots (ChatGPT) and let them predict the future of video games. We go through the games we're playing and it's quite a long list since we started Resident Evil 4 and we were at GDC and saw a ton of stuff.

Hi, welcome to Episode 30 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We can't believe we're already at this incredible milestone and to do it at a live show with some of you in person was absolutely amazing. This week we share a never before heard story about a wild week we spent with Hideki Kamiya from Platinum Games at a PAX West many years ago. We also answer some of your questions live. It was a great time and thanks to everyone show came out. 0:00 - It's live so let's go 5:25 - Nintendo Storytime - our week with Kamiya-san 25:38 - Answering live questions from our amazing PAX audience. Here are the questions asked, in case you have any trouble hearing them! 1. What are your thoughts on the PlayStation Vita? 2. Being a Nintendo personality probably wasn't in your job description. At what point did you realize that being an internet personality was part of your job, and did you ever meet any resistance to that? 3. Would you like to see StreetPass be incorporated into future Nintendo hardware? 4. Kit, why don't you like Sonic games? 5. When the Nintendo Switch OLED trailer was taken down you explained to us why we shouldn't get our hopes up for a new announcement. What are some signs that might indicate an announcement actually is coming? 6. Do you have any insight on how Xenoblade went from being a niche series to a hot mainstay on the Switch? 7. (Before this question there is a long anecdote about using a PlayStation Vita for wedding photography). The Switch has been around for five years now and the competition is starting to heat up. What can Nintendo do to remain competitive? 8. If you could have a Zelda movie or TV show, what would you like the story to be based around? 9. Would you rather fight three monkeys or a bear? 10. I really like my Wii U and have a lot of great memories from my time with that system. Do you have any stories from the early days of the Wii U? 11. You have talked about how when you worked at Nintendo you knew about news before it was announced. Now that you aren't at Nintendo, what announcement has made you the most surprised or excited? 12. Will you be making more videos in Animal Crossing? 13. What Pokemon Scarlet/Violet starter will be you choosing and who do you want on your team? 14. Which Animal Crossing villager is your favorite? 15. What are your thoughts on Nintendo's relationship with the competitive Smash community? 16. It must be a shock coming from the built-in audience of Nintendo channels to building your own. As a content creator myself, how do you keep your spirits up navigating this change?

Hi, welcome to Episode 8 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're sure you all heard the news this week that E3 2022 is officially canceled, so we thought we'd share one of our many E3 memories. We've both worked on too many E3s to count (for better or worse) but this particular moment was truly something and might have scarred one of us for life. We also have a very special opportunity for you to ask some questions to Shinichi Kameoka, the developer of EGGLIA: Rebirth. Shinichi Kameoka is a character designer, producer, and director whose art style is as recognizable as the names of the games he’s worked on are revered. His work on the Mana series helped make the games so memorable, and since producing Mother 3, he’s been a vocal advocate of its localization for Western audiences. He’s gone on from Nintendo to found his own company, Brownies, who have recently released their latest title EGGLIA: Rebirth on the Nintendo Switch. We know many of you are huge fans of Mother 3 as well as the Mana series so here's your chance to ask your questions to the man himself. We'll pick 10 questions to ask him and those same 10 people will also get codes for EGGLIA: Rebirth. Ask away! We have this and lots more on today's jam packed show so let's get started, shall we? 0:00 - Let's begin 6:33 - Cursed E3 moment (yikes) 31:29 - Never A Minute - Rapid fire questions 37:39 - Games we are playing 1:02:23 - Newssssssss 1:17:21 - Your questions Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta
