    Hello and welcome to episode 155 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. Today, we have another ex-Nintendo employee on to react to the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. Stephenie worked at Nintendo for 11 years and saw the company through the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U AND Nintendo Switch eras. She also famously produced the Nintendo Minute series. She's one of our good friends and we can't wait to dish about what she thought of the Switch 2 reveal. Also in this episode, we talk about the games we're playing and Stephenie blows our minds with a new game that was so not on our radar but now definitely is. We also talk about the Xbox Developer Direct and some other gaming news. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community.

    Hello and welcome to episode 154 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're going to talk about the questions Nintendo really doesn't want you to ask about Switch 2 right now. This is something that happens with every new product and a term that the one and only Reggie Fils-Aime used to use is "soft underbelly" which means these are the areas where you might be vulnerable. So what are these questions and how might Nintendo answer them? Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Would You Rather - Switch 2 edition and we are playing the new Donkey Kong Country Returns HD and share how we're liking the game. We wrap it all up with the news and some great questions from our Patreon community. Tons of stuff coming right up!

    Hello and welcome to episode 150 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast - it's also our last podcast for 2024 wow! Can you believe that 2025 marks the half decade? Time is going so fast. We thought it would be fun to look at the games that have come out in the last five years and get to the top 10 games of the half decade. We're doing it a really fun way where we each get to remove games off of a huge list and we also have a save each in case the other person removes a game that is unacceptable. Also in this episode, we check back on our 2024 predictions. Spoiler, we did not do very well since we were really expecting Switch 2 to be announced and come out this year! We go through some new games we're playing and react to the latest news and wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers!
