Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello! We've been thinking a lot about what Nintendo's long-term plan is to get new younger players into their gaming ecosystem. With gaming habits changing to SO much in the last few years, Nintendo is going to have to do some other things if they want to stay relevant with the younger generation. It's an interesting time to look into the question since the Switch 2 is selling so well, but this is a topic where they really need to look ahead into the future. Are they doing enough or are they doomed to fail?

We can't believe it's been two months since the Switch 2 launched and it definitely feels long and short at the same time. We're going to check in on how we're feeling about the system and if we are optimistic about the future. We also have the triumphant return of Nintendo Storytime this week with an interesting story about the time a natural disaster delayed a Nintendo Direct and all the drama that happened around it.

Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi, we're here today with a what will probably be a controversial opinion about Kirby Air Riders. Nintendo is definitely dealing with some challenges around getting launch dates settled for the rest of the announced 2025 Switch 2 games but where does that leave Kirby Air Riders? Is this game really coming out in 2025 and more importantly, does Nintendo feel like HAS to come out in 2025? We talk about how it works inside Nintendo when they make these kinds of decisions. What do you think? If this game is delayed, will you be devastated?

Thank you so much to our Patreon community for supporting this channel. Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Greetings! We've been thinking a lot about the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that ran yesterday. We think it's very unusual that we're now in August and there are still five major Switch 2 games (Metroid Prime 4, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Remake) that are supposedly releasing this year, but somehow don't have a single release date between them. Based on our experience of actually working at Nintendo, this is something they are probably pretty concerned about and trying to get a handle on as soon as possible. Let's talk about what's going on, why it's happening, and what the scenarios are for what could happen from here.
