Hello! Welcome to episode 208 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast where our big Nintendo Direct day continues. We go deep into this Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and try to make sense of a truly underwhelming Nintendo Direct. What happened here and is Nintendo feeling any kind of pressure? Also in this episode, we have more comments from Nintendo president Mr. Furukawa on the state of the company that we react to. We're also playing two incredible games we want to tell you about. All this and more is coming right up!

Hello and welcome to episode 207 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we want to talk about this interesting thing we noticed where Nintendo has a lot of high end stuff that they want you to buy, it's all very expensive and guess what? It's not even a video game or a Switch 2! What's going on? Does this mean Nintendo is focusing less on games and more and the stuff? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we have a monster news section where we talk about another Nintendo legend who secretly retired, the new Splatoon update, the recent NSO leak, games coming to the Virtual Boy and so much more! We're playing some new games and we have some great questions from our Patreon community including a juicy one on what Mr. Iwata and Reggie were like when they were really mad. Settle on in for a good time!

Hello! Capcom invited us to play Resident Evil Requiem early and we decided to be brave and go check out the game. We played for a good 3.5 hours and were able to play as both Leon Kennedy and Grace. Unfortunately Capcom didn't have the game on Switch 2 for us to try out but it was a lot of fun and very scary.

Hello and welcome to episode 206 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we want to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite. When is it the right time for Nintendo to potentially launch this and is it coming sooner than we might think? We'll take a look back at the launch for Nintendo Switch Lite and share some stories from working on that launch and see if we can apply it here. Also in this episode, we react to Doug Bowser's new job post retirement from Nintendo AND we answer your burning question about whether or not Masahiro Sakurai knows about Rickmaxxing. We're also playing a HUGE amount of new games and we have some great questions from our Patreon community sprinkled like magic dust throughout the episode. Settle on in and let's get into it!
