Hi!! We just got the news that Kensuke Tanabe - producer of the Metroid Prime, Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario series may be retiring from Nintendo! We know him from our time at Nintendo and we have a lot to say. Let's discuss what this means for the future of these series and why it won't be a huge setback for Nintendo despite his legendary accomplishments. Hope you enjoy the video!

Hello and welcome to episode 206 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we want to talk about the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite. When is it the right time for Nintendo to potentially launch this and is it coming sooner than we might think? We'll take a look back at the launch for Nintendo Switch Lite and share some stories from working on that launch and see if we can apply it here. Also in this episode, we react to Doug Bowser's new job post retirement from Nintendo AND we answer your burning question about whether or not Masahiro Sakurai knows about Rickmaxxing. We're also playing a HUGE amount of new games and we have some great questions from our Patreon community sprinkled like magic dust throughout the episode. Settle on in and let's get into it!

0:00 - It's Rick's world and we're just living in it
11:40 - News news news (Doug Bowser's new job at Hasbro, Resident Evil Requiem showcase, Lego Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time set, God of War casting reveal)
39:02 - Games we are playing (Animal Crossing 3.0 Update, Dynasty Warriors Origins, Ghost of Yotei, Skyrim, Banjo Kazooie, Blast Corps, Gran Turismo 7)
1:35:23 - Is the Nintendo Switch 2 Lite coming a lot sooner than we think it is?

Hello and welcome to episode 205 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're so excited because we have video game music icon Grant Kirkhope with us today to talk about so many things including his time at Rare, how Banjo-Kazooie got added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and why he STILL hasn't seen The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Also in this episode, we react to some sales information we have about Nintendo Switch 2's first ever holiday. What does this mean for the future of Nintendo? We're also playing some new games including a party game that actually might be better than Mario Party! All this and more is coming right up!
