i was a Nintendo minute fan for only a few months or weeks before it ended. I remember the last episode coming out, and I remember crying for the rest of the night, I was so sad . fast forward a little, and here we are with the kit and Krysta podcast. it has a bunch of cool and interesting stories from Nintendo,as well as fun theories , and deep discussions on all sorts of Nintendo games / all sorts of Nintendo related stuff. I'm so happy with this . of course there are some episodes that aren't as interesting or engaging for me personally, but that will change from person to person .over all it's really engaging for both kids and adults .

love it

I was a huge fan of Kit & Krysta in Nintendo Minute and was really excited when I heard they were starting their own podcast! Sadly, the show just doesn't seem to have staying power.

The first month or so was great, with them sharing a lot of interesting, behind the scenes info about working at Nintendo, but after that initial release, the show quickly went downhill. Most episodes now are extremely generic, focusing mainly on random lists/activities that are a dime a dozen from amateur content creators on YouTube.

Worst of all now though, is lately the show is full of non-stop plugging! Every episode starts with them asking for more Patreon subscribers, to the point they're now begging people to pay for them to take a vacation in Japan. Reminders about Patreon occur multiple times per episode and it's horror really uncomfortable. On top of this, they now also have sponsored ads that very abruptly start playing out of nowhere, sometimes in the middle of a sentence!

I don't want to sound mean, because I used to be huge fans of theirs. But after almost a year of listening, the show is very disappointing and kind of awkward to listen to.

Running out of material
