Hi, welcome to Episode 30 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We can't believe we're already at this incredible milestone and to do it at a live show with some of you in person was absolutely amazing. This week we share a never before heard story about a wild week we spent with Hideki Kamiya from Platinum Games at a PAX West many years ago. We also answer some of your questions live. It was a great time and thanks to everyone show came out.  0:00 - It's live so let's go  5:25 - Nintendo Storytime - our week with Kamiya-san 25:38 - Answering live questions from our amazing PAX audience. Here are the questions asked, in case you have any trouble hearing them! 1. What are your thoughts on the PlayStation Vita? 2. Being a Nintendo personality probably wasn't in your job description. At what point did you realize that being an internet personality was part of your job, and did you ever meet any resistance to that? 3. Would you like to see StreetPass be incorporated into future Nintendo hardware? 4. Kit, why don't you like Sonic games? 5. When the Nintendo Switch OLED trailer was taken down you explained to us why we shouldn't get our hopes up for a new announcement. What are some signs that might indicate an announcement actually is coming? 6. Do you have any insight on how Xenoblade went from being a niche series to a hot mainstay on the Switch? 7. (Before this question there is a long anecdote about using a PlayStation Vita for wedding photography). The Switch has been around for five years now and the competition is starting to heat up. What can Nintendo do to remain competitive?  8. If you could have a Zelda movie or TV show, what would you like the story to be based around? 9. Would you rather fight three monkeys or a bear? 10. I really like my Wii U and have a lot of great memories from my time with that system. Do you have any stories from the early days of the Wii U? 11. You have talked about how when you worked at Nintendo you knew about news before it was announced. Now that you aren't at Nintendo, what announcement has made you the most surprised or excited?  12. Will you be making more videos in Animal Crossing? 13. What Pokemon Scarlet/Violet starter will be you choosing and who do you want on your team? 14. Which Animal Crossing villager is your favorite? 15. What are your thoughts on Nintendo's relationship with the competitive Smash community? 16. It must be a shock coming from the built-in audience of Nintendo channels to building your own. As a content creator myself, how do you keep your spirits up navigating this change?

Today we're talking about something a bit serious and frankly pretty upsetting and that's the recent news stories that have come out about harassment and the poor working conditions for contract workers at Nintendo. We have a few things that we think Nintendo should do immediately to start to get this back on the right track. Our storytime this week is about the sweetest victory in Fortnite but only because we struggled with major tech issues. We also can't believe that it's been 6 months since we started the Kit & Krysta channel and we want to do a little progress report to see how we're doing and also get your thoughts on where we can improve and what other types of content you'd like to see. We go though games we're playing which includes some "emotional damage" from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and then wrap it up with questions from our wonderful Patreon family. Let's do it! 0:00 - Casting pod, yeah! 19:43 - Storytime: The SWEETEST Fortnite victory 30:30 - 6 Month check-in on how this... all of this is going 56:42 - Games we are playing (A lot of Xenoblade Chronicles 3, but spoiler-free, we promise!) 1:16:42 - What Nintendo needs to do now to start fixing the serious issues with employee working conditions (news news news) 1:36:46 - Questions from our Patreon community Special shoutout to our Super Star Patreon subscribers: Aaron Hash, Dan L, FromRaulWithLove, Jordan Collett, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Mr. Rogers, Paul Gale Network, RainTech, Roy Eschke, Simon Barrera, Switchingitup_, TheSharkAmongMen, and vgmlife!

Today we'll be sharing some fun stories about office pranks we pulled on each other and with our good friends at Nintendo. We can't believe we never got into to trouble and we also can't believe that the foundation of a lot of our friends are built on a prank titled "poopy chair".
