We're very festive this week but we do have to talk about a topic that isn't very jolly and it's all this drama with Nintendo and the competitive Smash community. We've worked closely on this while we were at Nintendo and things are pretty dire. Perhaps it's time for Nintendo to just throw up the white flag and give up trying to control this. We can't jump straight into the unpleasantness so let's ease in with a fun storytime about when we had to steal a Christmas tree to salvage a Nintendo Minute episode about to go awry. We also share our favorite holiday vibe games in our Never A Minute segment. We have a super meaty Games We are Playing segment because we both beat God of War! And of course we answer a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. 0:00 - The pink Christmas tree is UP! 10:23 - Stolen Christmas tree saves Nintendo Minute 18:37 - Holiday vibe games 27:09 - Games we are playing (God of War, Playdate, Pentiment, Vampire Survivors) 56:56 - Smash x Nintendo DRAMA (News news news) 1:23:53 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Super Stars: Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, Jordan Collett, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Mr. Rogers, RainTech, Roy Eschke, Simon Barrera, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, TheSharkAmongMen, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, TurboChargeNerd Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta -Kit & Krysta

We're getting so close to The Game Awards so we have another story to share about the year Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey were both nominated for Game of the Year. Somehow this caused mass panic inside Nintendo but it was certainly an iconic year for the company. We are both deep in God of War so we share our latest thoughts and feelings on the game. In our news section we talk about how Pokemon Scarlet/Violet broke every record imaginable even though the game has some glaring performance issues and discuss what this means for the future of the franchise. We wrap it all up by answering questions from our wonderful Patreon community. 0:00 - One of us is sick, guess who? 9:32 - Storytime: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey at The Game Awards in 2017 (Nintendo panicked!) 47:47 - Games we are playing (We talk about God of War and if you don't want light spoilers skip to 1:02:26) 1:05:30 - News news news 1:18:15 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Super Stars: Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, Jordan Collett, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Mr. Rogers, Paul Gale Network, RainTech, Roy Eschke, Simon Barrera, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, TheSharkAmongMen, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and TurboChargeNerd!

Today we're looking back at the launch of Wii U on its 10 year anniversary.

We also talk about games we are playing and we're both super excited to dive into God of War and talk to you about it. We have a beefy news section covering the TGA nominations and of course, we answer questions from our fabulous Patreon subscribers.
