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! We continue with the Zelda theme in our Never a Minute segment and tell you our current top 5 Zelda games. We go through a lot of news and wrap with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. It's a long one people so get nice and settled. 0:00 - We begin at the beginning 17:24 - Nintendo Storytime - when Spirit Tracks went off the tracks 32:20 - Our current Top 5 Zelda games 1:00:16 - Games we are playing 1:27:29 - News news news 1:28:34 - Has Nintendo peaked?

This week we wanted to talk a bit about this situation with Nintendo and creators who make Zelda mods. We share some of our opinions and give you some insight into what Nintendo thinks about when they do things like this. We've also been thinking a lot about Tears of the Kingdom since we all watched (and loved) the final trailer. We talk about how we're currently feeling about the game and if we can just lock it in now for Game of the Year. We share a really fun storytime about working on the Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony and why it's one of our favorite memories of all time. This week we're skipping our "Never A Minute" segment because we have a MONSTER news section filled with tons of stuff to talk about. We wrap it all up with games we're playing and answering questions from our wonderful Patreon family. All this and more is coming up right now! 0:00 - Let's begin, shall we? 20:58 - Nintendo Storytime - Working on the Zelda 25th Anniversary Symphony 42:44 - Games we are playing 1:01:22 - News news news 1:19:08 - Nintendo VS Creators who make mods 1:47:17 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars tier!

Today we're going to be spotlighting one of our favorite people of all time, Mr. Iwata. We'll tell you why The Super Mario Bros. Movie is actually the culmination of Mr. Iwata's vision for Nintendo that he was championing over 10 years ago. We miss him so much and we're grateful to have known him. We know that seeing the success of the Mario Movie would have made him proud. Also in this episode, we tell you a really fun story about Mr. Miyamoto and his favorite food. It's the end of the first quarter of 2023 so we do a little check in on the games we've played so far and if there is a GOTY contender among them. One of us beat Resident Evil 4 Remake so we go into that in detail in the games we are playing segment. We dig into the news and answer some great questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

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 go through a handful of news and talk a bit more about the official cancellation of E3 and wrap it up with some questions from our wonderful Patreon community. It's jam-packed to in the words of Mario LET'S-A GO! 0:00 - 3-2-1 start! 10:10 - Reunited with Mr. Miyamoto at the Super Mario Bros. Movie Premiere... how did it go? 37:33 - Super Mario Bros.

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!

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.

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'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.
