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.

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.

What an exciting year it's been and we're so looking forward to another great year in 2024. Before that though, we have one last one for the books. Today, we'll be digging deeper into all the "Discourse" that's been happening around Eiji Aonuma's comments on the future of the Zelda series. So many people are talking about this but we've worked with Mr. Aonuma for many years and think we can explain what he might be thinking and what he might mean when he said what he said. Also in this episode, we talking about some of the games we've been playing over the holiday break. We have a more streamlined episode so we wrap it all up with a bigger Q&A segment with questions from our Patreon subscribers.

Today we try to decide if 2023 is the best year for games ever. We certainly had a huge number of incredible games launch this year and we had more games than ever to play but does it beat out other iconic gaming years like 1996 when the Nintendo 64 launched? Or 1998 when The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid came out. Let's take a deep dive and figure it out once and for all. We also had the amazing honor of having the producer of the Ace Attorney series - Kenichi Hashimoto answering hard hitting questions from our community.

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.

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.

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.

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... 0:00 - Our last international episode starts...NOW 12:33 - Miyamoto's Pikmin obsession explained + our thoughts on the Pikmin 4 demo 45:36 - Games we are playing 1:02:44 - News news news 1:16:48 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our wonderful Patreon Super Stars tier: Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse,  KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Mr. Rogers, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, TheSharkAmongMen, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, TurboChargeNerd, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Kristopher Lara, Simon, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://www.youtube.com/@kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta

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.

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!

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'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! 0:00 - Let's go! 15:40 - Storytime: Nintendo's worst event you've never heard about 30:09 - Letting AI predict the future of video games 42:49 - Games we are playing 1:12:26 - News news news (Tears of the Kingdom sales discussion) 1:32:25 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars tier!

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'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're very festive this week but we do have to talk about a topic that isn't very jolly and it's all this drama with Nintendo and the competitive Smash community. We've worked closely on this while we were at Nintendo and things are pretty dire. Perhaps it's time for Nintendo to just throw up the white flag and give up trying to control this. We can't jump straight into the unpleasantness so let's ease in with a fun storytime about when we had to steal a Christmas tree to salvage a Nintendo Minute episode about to go awry.

We're getting so close to The Game Awards so we have another story to share about the year Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey were both nominated for Game of the Year. Somehow this caused mass panic inside Nintendo but it was certainly an iconic year for the company. We are both deep in God of War so we share our latest thoughts and feelings on the game. In our news section we talk about how Pokemon Scarlet/Violet broke every record imaginable even though the game has some glaring performance issues and discuss what this means for the future of the franchise.

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?

Today we're talking about something a bit serious and frankly pretty upsetting and that's the recent news stories that have come out about harassment and the poor working conditions for contract workers at Nintendo.

Our storytime this week is about the sweetest victory in Fortnite but only because we struggled with major tech issues.

Hi, welcome to Episode 8 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're sure you all heard the news this week that E3 2022 is officially canceled, so we thought we'd share one of our many E3 memories. We've both worked on too many E3s to count (for better or worse) but this particular moment was truly something and might have scarred one of us for life. We also have a very special opportunity for you to ask some questions to Shinichi Kameoka, the developer of EGGLIA: Rebirth. Shinichi Kameoka is a character designer, producer, and director whose art style is as recognizable as the names of the games he’s worked on are revered. His work on the Mana series helped make the games so memorable, and since producing Mother 3, he’s been a vocal advocate of its localization for Western audiences. He’s gone on from Nintendo to found his own company, Brownies, who have recently released their latest title EGGLIA: Rebirth on the Nintendo Switch. We know many of you are huge fans of Mother 3 as well as the Mana series so here's your chance to ask your questions to the man himself. We'll pick 10 questions to ask him and those same 10 people will also get codes for EGGLIA: Rebirth. Ask away! We have this and lots more on today's jam packed show so let's get started, shall we?  0:00 - Let's begin  6:33 - Cursed E3 moment (yikes)  31:29 - Never A Minute - Rapid fire questions  37:39 - Games we are playing  1:02:23 - Newssssssss  1:17:21 - Your questions  Follow Us!  https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta  https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta  https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta  https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/  -Kit & Krysta
