The Kit & Krysta Podcast

Hello, did you miss us? We're here with a special mini edition of the Kit & Krysta Podcast to do some deep analysis and theories on the latest The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom gameplay that we saw today. We wanted to talk about how we did on our predictions and dive into some of the new stuff we saw and what this means for the skeptics out there who are still on the fence about this game.

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!

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.

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.  0:00 - Episode 56 START! 13:22 - Five unsung heroes from Nintendo of America 44:11 - Games we are playing (Like A Dragon: Ishin final impressions) 1:11:32 - News news news (Final Fantasy 16 JRPG discussion) 1:28:39 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars!

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.
