What is like on the inside and a crazy thing that happened that involved someone almost getting arrested (y-i-k-e-s!)

Don't worry, it's all spoiler-free. We have a really fun Never A Minute segment where we talk about console lifecycles. We go through 8 different consoles lifecycles and evaluate if they were just right, too short or too long. We talk about games we're currently playing and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon family.

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. This is a long one so settle on in. 0:00 - Let's talk about all the things! 17:27 - News News News 30:47 - Nintendo Direct recap + our thoughts on the Nintendo Switch lifecycle 1:13:08 - Grading our Nintendo Direct predictions 1:20:12 - Nintendo Storytime - Eiji Aonuma and his questionable New York City hotdog 1:29:59 - Games we are playing 1:47:04 - Questions from our Patreon Community Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars!

Join us today at http://patreon.com/KitAndKrysta *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi, and welcome to episode 46 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're recording this the day after Christmas so it's going to be a bit of a shorter more chill episode. We'll talk about the recent happenings with Nintendo setting all of the Nintendo Minute videos to private and go into why we think this is and what we think this means and of course how we feel about it all. The bulk of this episode will be dedicated to answering questions from our wonderful Patreon community. We're a bit behind since we didn't do a Q&A segment in our GOTY episode so doing a bit of catch-up here. Hope you're all having a great holiday and enjoy the last episode of 2022.
