Hello and welcome to episode 143 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Nintendo DS by doing a full retrospective on this amazing system. We talk about the initial launch and reception, Nintendo DS facing strong competition with the PSP, the DS games we worked on at Nintendo and our top 5 Nintendo DS games. There are so many fond memories of this incredible system and we can't wait to take the trip down memory lane. Also in this episode, we discuss the censorship issues in Xenoblade Chronicles X, talk about the polarizing Mario & Luigi Brothership review scores and how we feel about Nintendo not crediting composers in Nintendo Music. We also have been playing some new games including Dragon Age: Veilguard and Sonic X Shadow Generations... yes SONIC! All this and more is coming right up!

We're also playing a ton of games including Super Mario Party Jamboree and share our initial impressions on the game. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers.

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!

Hello and welcome to episode 135 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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? All this and more is coming right up.

Hello and welcome to episode 124 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast!! Today we're sharing a really fun story with you about the time we went inside Retro Studios in Austin, TX. We have such a special place in our hearts for the team at Retro and we're always rooting for them so it was so great to be able to see where they work and spend the day with them. Also, let's not forget how AWESOME BBQ in Austin is! Yum!! In our Never A Minute segment, we rank every year of Nintendo Switch and talk which year had the best first party games. Do you agree? Also in this episode, we talk about why we think Nintendo is being super cagey and not sharing who is actually developing their games. We both started the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and um yeah... it's pretty hard! We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community. Big podcast coming right up!

Hi and welcome to episode 118 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! TODAY, we'll be talking about how Nintendo has basically won the console wars. Or have they? So much has happened over the last few weeks around the games industry with really bad layoffs and studio closures from Microsoft and Sony in a constant state of needing to squeeze more profit for the incredibly expensive games they're making. With Nintendo announcing officially that Switch 2 is on the way and still showing super strong sales for original Switch, they've won right? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we react to even more Switch 2 leaks, share some early predictions for the June Nintendo Direct, and we're playing a ton of cool indie games. We wrap it all up with questions from our adorable Patreon subscribers. A packed episode is coming right up! Get comfy.

Hello and welcome to episode 116 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we'll be sharing with you a fond memory we both have of Satoru Iwata. We were so lucky to have worked under Mr. Iwata when we were at Nintendo and it might surprise you how often we got to see Mr. Iwata. He was consistently in our office and we spent a lot of time one-on-one with him. One of the many wonderful things about Mr. Iwata was he would not only talk to us about the Nintendo business but he would often share with us his own life philosophies. We learned so much from him and we still hold his lessons near and dear to our hearts to this day. Also in this episode, we react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors and we share our impressions of the latest round of indie games that have come out on Nintendo Switch. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and much more is coming right up!

Hi and welcome to episode 115 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're diving into the topic of emulation and how Nintendo is handling the new Delta emulation app on the Apple App Store. Delta coming to Apple has changed the conversation around emulation a bit since it's made it feel more mainstream and accessible - something Nintendo is not going to be happy about, but what can they actually do about it? Let's dig into this topic! Also in this episode, we have a special guest joining us, Stealth40K who is a prominent member of the Nintendo fan community. We chat with Stealth about the state of Nintendo's relationship with fans and what they can do better as Nintendo prepares for the launch of Switch 2.

Hello and welcome to episode 112 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community.

Hi, we're celebrating the 7th anniversary of Nintendo Switch an incredible story about playing Switch before it launched with the one and only John Cena and before you even think it, yes, we COULD see him. You never know working with celebrities but John Cena turned out to be the nicest guy and a true Nintendo fan. Now we have such a great memory of launching this iconic video game system and playing with the one and only John Cena! Also in this episode, we talk about the recent Nintendo lawsuit against game emulator Yuzu. We also had a big week digging into Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and tell you what we think of it so far. We were also lucky to go to Capcom a few weeks ago to play even more of Dragon's Dogma II early. In our never a minute segment today, we're doing something really fun which is opening packs of Pokemon Cards! Should we get into Pokemon TCG?

Hello and welcome to episode 105 of the Kit and Krysta Podcast! This week we are joined by special guest BeatEmUps(Wood Hawker) to talk about what zany gimmicks Nintendo could potentially bring back for the Switch 2. Nintendo is the kind of company who never leaves an innovation behind, so what could they be cooking up for this next console? Also in this episode, we have so much news around the newest round of Switch 2 rumors, the potential Nintendo Direct this week and of course Xbox's big business update. Seems like there is just a lot going on in the video game industry and we're here with the popcorn to see it all go down. In games we are playing, we've still been going strong through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth but we've also been playing some new stuff like the Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth demo and it's all very fun so let us tell you all about it. We wrap it all up with a few questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All this is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we'll be examining if Nintendo is finally going to right their wrongs with Princess Peach with her new game, Princess Peach Showtime. Peach is such an iconic Nintendo character and she's gotten even more popular from the movie last year, it's high time she gets the respect she deserves. Is Nintendo doing enough with this game or will we continue to suffer Princess Peach disappointment. Also in this episode, we share our reaction to the rumor about Xbox going multi-platform and our thoughts on the PlayStation State of Play. We're still playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and it's amazing. We've been palling around with our little pals in Palworld. We also tried out the Mario vs. Donkey Kong demo and we tell you what we think about the game so far. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community.

Hello and welcome to episode 103 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We have a gloriously jam packed show for you today filled with all sorts of fun stuff. First, let's talk about what we think is happening with this February Nintendo Direct. There is something very fishy going on with Nintendo over the last few weeks announcing all kinds of things on Twitter that would have been perfect for a Direct so what does it all mean? Let's figure it out together. We also have a huge news section where we share our reaction on the Pokemon statement around Palworld and what we think is going on with Aonuma being spotted at Universal. In our 'Never A Minute' segment, we're doing a tier list of the most egregious copycat Palworld designs. For our Nintendo storytime this week, we talk about a time where we lived in fear that Nintendo Minute would be canceled because it was getting whacked by the YouTube algorithm. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. Big show let's go!

Hello and welcome to episode 102 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're joined today by a very special guest - former Nintendo employee, video game narrative designer and our friend Alexa Ray Corriea. We're going to have a chat with Alexa about what it's like inside Nintendo when the crushing pressure of the fan community just gets to be too much. We've all lived through this and we're pretty sure Nintendo is dealing with it right now with all speculation swirling around Switch 2. Alexa also shares what it means to be a narrative designer and writer for video games. We're all going to learn together. We also talk about games we are playing including Palworld. Yes, we are playing Palworld. In our news section we share our thoughts about the Xbox Developer Direct and some of the games they announced.

Hello and welcome to episode 90 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're super excited today to start talking about The Game Awards. Yes, it is almost that time of year. Can you believe it? Today we'll be predicting which games will be nominated for the big categories. Remember that these are not our personal picks but what we think the TGA judging panel will likely choose. This is such a banner year with so many incredible games that there are bound to be games that would have made it other years that might get snubbed. We're here for the drama! Also in this episode, we talk about Nintendo's latest (bad) guidelines around the Smash community and tell you what those latest Nintendo patents really mean. We also have a fun storytime about Krysta's doggie Chowder who was in a Wii Fit commercial. We both also started playing Spider-Man 2 and have a lot of thoughts. All this and more is coming up!

Hi and welcome to another special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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. Lots of good stuff coming up!

Hi and welcome to episode 76 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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.

Hello and welcome to episode 74 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is a very special episode because we are finally back in person. It's so great to be back together again and back to Krysta's mom's house to record this podcast for you all after Kit was on vacation for a couple weeks. We have a jam-packed show today and we're going to kick it off with a fun storytime about some Nintendo Minute lore that you probably haven't heard of before. 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. In the news segment, we share our thoughts on the new Pokemon show "Beyond the Pokedex". Do we feel like this is like Nintendo Minute? We wrap it all up by answering some questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers!

Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're thinking a lot about Pikmin since we've been playing the demo for Pikmin 4. We want to dig into a topic and explain to all you why Shigeru Miyamoto is so personally invested in Pikmin. He's really out there personally promoting the game but why is that? We've also been playing a lot of other games this summer. 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. In our news section, we dig into Nintendo's involvement in the Microsoft FTC trial and talk about the unfortunate Niantic layoffs. We wrap it all up with questions from our awesome Patreon subscribers. This is also the last week that Kit is in Taiwan so the next time you see us, we will be reunited in person. What will happen? Who can say! Let's goooooo...

Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're finally getting a chance to dig into the latest Nintendo Direct which really changed our minds about where the Nintendo Switch is headed. 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. One of us is also still playing Final Fantasy 16 and we talk about a few other games we've been dabbling with. We share our thoughts on the drama that is the Microsoft/FTC trial and wrap it up with a few questions from our amazing Patreon community. All of this is coming up. Get comfy!

We do have Nintendo Direct predictions and reactions as separate videos on the channel. In this episode, we want to talk about Final Fantasy 16 which launches TODAY. We've been looking forward to this game so we're excited to finally play it. We tell you everything we love about it so far and we can't wait to dig into this game more in the coming weeks. Kit is on vacation in a faraway mysterious place but played a bunch of games on the plane. We're getting close to wrapping up Tears of the Kingdom. We don't review games BUT... we might for this one since we've sunk over 200 hours combined into this thing!

Since we're almost on our way to Summer Game Fest we have E3 on the brain so in our Nintendo Storytime this week we tell you all about the last E3 we ever went to in 2019. We took a roadtrip down to E3 which was super special and then Kit had probably one of the most embarrassing incidents of his life during the show! We're still DEEP into Tears of the Kingdom so we give you an update on what we've been up to in the game but we also have some new games we're both loving to talk about.

Hello and welcome to episode 68 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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 wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon family. It's a long one people. Let's go!

We are very relieved that this game is finally coming out. We have a Hinox sized episode filled with Zelda goodness. In a very special Nintendo Storytime, we finally tell part 3 of our Mr. Aonuma story but we're joined by a special guest. Rob Tunstall worked on the Localization team at Nintendo and we worked really close together on all things Zelda at Nintendo. In our Never A Minute segment, we keep the good vibes going and share our top 3 favorite Zelda moments. We have a handful of games we've been playing that we talk about before we transition fully to Tears of the Kingdom come next week. We also have a pretty big news section where we talk about Zelda leaks, the recent Nintendo Live updates and if we think there will be a Nintendo Direct in June. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon family. Open your eyes...and ears and let's get to it.

Hello and welcome to episode 63 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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 continue with the Zelda theme in our Never a Minute segment and tell you our current top 5 Zelda games. We go through a lot of news and wrap with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

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.

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.

Hi and welcome to episode 60 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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 go through a handful of news and talk a bit more about the official cancellation of E3 and wrap it up with some questions from our wonderful Patreon community.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hello, and welcome to episode 59 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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. We wrap up with a handful of news and a fistful of questions from our wonderful Patreon family. It's a good one so let's get this going!

Hi and welcome to episode 56 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've been really intrigued by the discussion around the Final Fantasy team's suggestion that JRPG is a dirty word. We happened to talk to some Nintendo developers about negative perceptions of Japanese games and share that with you in this episode. We've also been thinking a lot about all of the important people we worked with at Nintendo of America that you might not know about. Sure, everyone knows Doug Bowser and Bill Trinen but there are so many people behind the scenes doing some great and even historically important things that you may have never heard of. By the time you're listening to this episode we would have returned from Super Nintendo World! We share/try to manifest what our perfect day would be at the park so look forward to some vlogs where we share our experience with you. Also in this episode, we share our final Like A Dragon: Ishin impressions since we both beat the game. We wrap up with some 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!

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!

7 september 2022 | 63 min

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?
