This week, we're starting our long goodbye to Nintendo Switch by digging into 20 reasons why it was SO incredibly successful. A lot of things had to go just right for Switch to be a hit and the pressure was definitely on at Nintendo to make sure it went well. Nintendo Switch will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it was the last system we launched at Nintendo so it feels great to reflect back on what happened over these past 7 years. Also in this episode, we react to the reveal of Emio and talk about what the new Joy-Con charging accessory really means. We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon family. 0:00 - WE'RE BACK (in person) 17:10 - 20 reasons why Nintendo Switch is the best console EVER 1:02:14 - Games we're playing 1:23:47 - News news news 1:42:24 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Patreon shout-outs: - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Brustache, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash, Ajay Kundlas, Fortygig 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
