Hi and welcome back to episode 87 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're going to take a deep look at Mario role-playing games and discuss what Nintendo might be thinking for the future of these types of games. With the Super Mario RPG remake followed closely by Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door remake and the absence of any Mario & Luigi RPGs during the Switch generation, there's a lot to consider for what the future might hold. In our Nintendo Storytime today, we share a sad story about dogs in the Nintendo office. Don't worry no doggies were harmed. We've also both been playing two great games Baldur's Gate 3 and Sea of Stars. In our news section, we share our thoughts about the new Animal Crossing LEGO collab and Nintendo shutting down online support for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up!

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!

Hi and welcome to episode 82 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is a really special episode because part of it was recorded LIVE at PAX West. We just came back from PAX and Nintendo Live so we have a ton of stuff to tell you about but most importantly, we played Super Mario Bros. Wonder. We tell you all about what we think of the game. In our LIVE at PAX segment, we tell you all about the secret things at Nintendo HQ. There are a lot of quirks in that office and not a lot people get to set foot in there. We've been playing a ton of games including diving into The Making of Karateka on our flight up to Seattle for PAX. We talk about a some news including Charles Martinet not knowing what a Mario Ambassador is. We don't know either so we're wondering who actually knows.

Hello and welcome to episode 80 (yes 80) of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we are telling stories about our biggest mess-ups when we were working at Nintendo. It's good to get this off our chests but also a bit hard to relive it. This is definitely us at our worst but everyone makes mistakes and nobody's perfect as they say. Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Kiss Marry Kill Console WarZ (with a z) edition. In the news, we talk about the Xbox 360 store closing. We also deep dive into Diablo 4 since we've been playing together a ton and let us tell you, there are things the game does not tell you about that we've learned!
