We're so excited for what this year will bring and we're going to kick it off with a bang with our hot predictions for 2024. We did pretty good last year with our 2023 predictions but this year is admittedly a bit more nebulous. We also lock a few predictions in and if we're wrong there is a severe punishment to endure. Also in this episode, we also have more games we've been playing over the holiday break and we wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up! 0:00 - Happy New Year! 8:15 - Our 2024 Predictions 1:09:21 - Games we are playing 1:25:09 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars tier - Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Brustache 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

Thank you to our wonderful Patreon family for making this all possible. Join us today http://Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello and welcome to the final episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast for 2023! What an exciting year it's been and we're so looking forward to another great year in 2024. Before that though, we have one last one for the books. Today, we'll be digging deeper into all the "Discourse" that's been happening around Eiji Aonuma's comments on the future of the Zelda series. So many people are talking about this but we've worked with Mr. Aonuma for many years and think we can explain what he might be thinking and what he might mean when he said what he said. Also in this episode, we talking about some of the games we've been playing over the holiday break. We have a more streamlined episode so we wrap it all up with a bigger Q&A segment with questions from our Patreon subscribers. Hope you enjoy and see you in 2024! 0:00 - Let's say goodbye to 2023 10:21 - Games we are playing 25:10 - Aonuma's comments on the future of the Zelda series + questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars tier!

Today we try to decide if 2023 is the best year for games ever. We certainly had a huge number of incredible games launch this year and we had more games than ever to play but does it beat out other iconic gaming years like 1996 when the Nintendo 64 launched? Or 1998 when The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid came out. Let's take a deep dive and figure it out once and for all. We also had the amazing honor of having the producer of the Ace Attorney series - Kenichi Hashimoto answering hard hitting questions from our community. Also in this episode, we have a monster Games We're Playing section with Kit beating Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and Krysta checking out a new puzzle game that everyone is talking about, Chants of Sennaar. We talk about the final end of E3 and the cancellation The Last of Us Online. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community. Big episode coming right up.

Thank you so much to our Patreon subscribers for keeping this channel going. Join us today at http://Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi, welcome to a special bonus Nintendo storytime. We wanted to share a special story about VGX. Not sure how many of you remember this but it's the 10 year anniversary of this truly bizarre event and if you don't know, this was the show that took place between the Spike TV Video Game Awards and Geoff Keighley's The Game Awards. It was an event that marked a transition for one of the biggest game industry events now and some really insane things took place that we were very closely involved with including a showdown between Reggie and Geoff Keighley. YIKES! We hope you enjoy this truly insane story. See you soon!

Thank you to our Patreon subscribers for supporting us. Join us at http://patreon.com/KitAndKrysta *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hi, we can't believe that after 10 long years, Mario Kart 8 is finally finished. We wanted to take a look back and share our untold stories about this incredible game. We both worked at Nintendo pretty much for those entire 10 years and we saw and worked on most of the marketing for this game when it was launched on Wii U and when it came to Nintendo Switch. It's an incredible end to an incredible game and we're so hopeful about the future of Mario Kart. Let us know in the comments below what your favorite track from Mario Kart 8 is and if it's Mount Wario, we are friends for life. Thanks for watching!
