Hello and welcome to episode 120 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we'll be sharing our thoughts after playing a whole bunch of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door on Nintendo Switch. We were so hyped for this game but does it live up to our super high expectations? We dig into all the nitty gritty details - what we love, what we don't and everything in between. Also in this episode, we share our thoughts about Nintendo opening a new store in our hometown of San Francisco. Also, Nintendo just acquired Shiver and we discuss why we think this is critical for them leading up to the launch of Switch 2. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community. All this is 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.
