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

    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 58 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. It seems like remasters or remakes are having a moment. We saw huge popularity with Metroid Prime Remastered and now we're seeing incredibly high Metacritic scores for Resident Evil 4 so we're asking ourselves, which other games deserve this kind of remaster treatment and what are the chances they'll get it? Also in this episode, we share a story about a cursed Pokemon HeartGold/SoulSilver event that almost ended in disaster. We talk about a big grab bag of games we're playing, go through the news and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

    We are also SO excited about the newly announced Kit & Krysta custom controller made in partnership with the very talented CptnAlex! Visit http://kitandkrystacontroller.com to learn more and pre-order today.

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

    Hello and welcome to episode 57 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today, we're going to talk about if Nintendo is ready to fully become an entertainment powerhouse. This was something that started as early as the Mr. Iwata era but now with Super Nintendo World open in Hollywood and the Mario Movie coming up really soon, this idea of Nintendo fully transitioning to an entertainment company is a reality. This is exciting but is Nintendo ready for this fundamental shift? We share with you our insider thoughts on this important topic. Also in this episode, we talk in-depth about our recent trip to Super Nintendo World. Did it live up to our super high expectations? We have a huge list of games we are playing, some interesting news to talk about and we wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community. This is another long one so settle on in and let's get into it!

    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 EP55 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're so excited to be joined by Ben Hanson from MinnMax to talk about our experiences working with gaming legends Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma.

We take a look back and share some behind-the-scenes stories with you. Also in this episode, we have a monster news section to go through including our thoughts on the Pokemon Showcase. We also have a very eclectic "what we're playing section" and of course we wrap with answering questions from our Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming up.

    Hello and welcome back to the Kit & Krysta Podcast, episode 54! We have a jam packed show today. To celebrate Pokemon Day coming on Feb. 27 we're sharing a cool story about going inside Game Freak in Tokyo. What is like on the inside and a crazy thing that happened that involved someone almost getting arrested (y-i-k-e-s!) We also have a bit of a double whammy because we do want to dig into the Tear of the Kingdom art book leak and share with you what is going on at Nintendo when something like this happens. Don't worry, it's all spoiler-free. We have a really fun Never A Minute segment where we talk about console lifecycles. We go through 8 different consoles lifecycles and evaluate if they were just right, too short or too long. We talk about games we're currently playing and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon family. All of this and more is coming up!

    Hi and welcome to episode 53 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is a beefy episode so let's get right into it. Today we're going to dig into this Nintendo Direct and talk about why there has been so much discussion after the Direct about the end of Nintendo Switch. Do we think that's true? Let's talk about it. We also go through all of the Direct announcements and share our thoughts and even grade our predictions. With all the chit chat about Tears of the Kingdom, we found ourselves thinking fondly about Eiji Aonuma so in our Nintendo Storytime, we share a really fun memory about when he visited New York for New York Comic-Con and was a true tourist itching to try all the iconic NY things no matter how questionable! Of course we will be talking about games we are playing and wrapping up with a handful of questions from our amazing Patreon subscribers. This is a long one so settle on in.
