The Kit & Krysta Podcast

Thank you to our wonderful Patreon community for all the support. Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi and welcome to a very special episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we have a super cool guest joining us. Producer Stephenie was integral to Nintendo Minute, producing, editing and filming nearly every episode. She's here in-studio to air all her grievances with us (just kidding) but she does have some really fun stories and even things WE don't know about. This is her Nintendo Minute "tell all" and let us tell you... it's juicy stuff. Also in this episode, we're still in our dabble phase with games so we have a big variety of stuff we're playing. We have a handful of news stories and a discussion around video game financials. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community. Are you ready to hear all the secrets? 0:00 - Tea is spilling in 3...2...1 4:49 - Producer Stephy TELLS ALL 38:58 - Games we are playing 53:36 - News news news 1:08:58 - Questions from our Patreon community Thank you to our wonderful Super Stars: 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, Chilly 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

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. We are juggling SO many games right now but it's great because who doesn't want tons of fun games to play. This week, we give you our latest progress on Final Fantasy 16, Viewfinder, Dordogne and Disney Illusion Island. We wrap it all up with a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon family. We hope you enjoy this special episode! 0:00 - Let's a-go! 9:23 - The Truth about Nintendo Rumors with Jeff Grubb 52:12 - Games we are playing 1:20:41 - News news news 1:32:17 - 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, Chilly 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 going to dig into an interesting and potentially scary topic about preserving classic games. The Video Game Foundation published some very jarring data that almost 90% of classic games are unavailable to play. Let's take a look at this from the side of players, publishers and those trying to find ways to preserve these games. Are we too late and will some of these games disappear forever? Also in this episode, we tell a story about when Kit's life was almost ruined at San Diego Comic-Con. In our Never A Minute segment we let artificial intelligence take over the podcast and the results are shocking. We wrap it up with the latest news and answer questions from our wonderful Patreon community.

This is a very special episode because we are finally back in person. It's so great to be back together again and back to Krysta's mom's house to record this podcast for you all after Kit was on vacation for a couple weeks. We have a jam-packed show today and we're going to kick it off with a fun storytime about some Nintendo Minute lore that you probably haven't heard of before. We finally make that big list of all the 2023 games we would like to play only to have reality set in and bring us to the sad realization that we literally CANNOT play all these games so we have to choose, and we're choosing right now. We talk about some of the games we are playing including Krysta's final thoughts on Ghost Trick after beating the game. In the news segment, we share our thoughts on the new Pokemon show "Beyond the Pokedex". Do we feel like this is like Nintendo Minute?

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?

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 also got Street Fighter 6 early (Thanks Capcom) so we tell you all about what we think of the game so far. In our storytime, we tell you about the extravagant world of PlayStation E3 parties.
