Hello! Welcome to episode 163 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We are getting so close to the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct and things are heating up. Today we want to talk about 10 questions Nintendo MUST answer for us to feel satisfied after this Switch 2 Direct. They haven't confirmed very much about the system so they need to clearly communicate a lot of things to us in this Direct. We will have a separate predictions video that you can look forward to next week as well and of course our big reactions on April 2. Also in this episode, we're playing Xenoblade Chronicles X! Does this game hold up 10 years later? There's also some news we want to talk about including the official timeline for Sonic. Does Sonic need a timeline? We wrap it up with questions from our lovely Patreon subscribers. All this and so much more is coming right up!

Hi, over the last few days we've seen some frustration and outrage over the graphics of Pokemon Legends Z-A since it was shown off in the Pokemon presents as part of Pokemon Day. Let's dig into here and talk about why this keeps happening with Pokemon games and whether it even matters. This isn't this week's big Kit & Krysta Podcast which is still coming Thursday, but wanted to share our thoughts on this topic with you here and now.

Hello and welcome to episode 159 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're telling the origin story of the very first Pokemon Day back in 2016. It's incredible that over the last nine years this has grown so much into what we now expect and know as Pokemon Day and of course all the news in Pokemon Presents. It was fun to look back to see how this important day for Pokemon actually came to be and how connected to Nintendo it was in its first few years. Also in this episode, we're playing SO many games that we're excited to tell you about including Monster Hunter Wilds and Avowed. Throughout the episode, we're also sharing some incredible memories from our community about their first encounters with Pokemon. So get comfy and let's get into it!

Hello and welcome to episode 156 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 155 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today, we have another ex-Nintendo employee on to react to the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. Stephenie worked at Nintendo for 11 years and saw the company through the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U AND Nintendo Switch eras. She also famously produced the Nintendo Minute series. She's one of our good friends and we can't wait to dish about what she thought of the Switch 2 reveal. Also in this episode, we talk about the games we're playing and Stephenie blows our minds with a new game that was so not on our radar but now definitely is. We also talk about the Xbox Developer Direct and some other gaming news. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community.
