We surprised ourselves over the last few weeks because we've both been playing our Nintendo 3DS again. If you would have asked us in 2024 whether we'd be doing this, we would have thought it impossible. Recently, we played Mario Kart 7 with our Patreon community since the online servers are about to shut down and we recently revealed that our April spoilercast game is Chrono Trigger so we've been playing that on 3DS as well. It's actually so nice to play true handheld games again and it really made us think that dedicated handheld games are not really a thing anymore in gaming and we really miss them! Also in this episode, we tell you all about Nintendo's unique relationship with Nickelodeon and Krysta covering the Kid's Choice Awards from the Orange Carpet. We jump into games we're playing which again is a lot of handheld games! In our news section we tell you what we think about Nintendo's big shake-up to their product testing department and them laying off contractors. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community. 0:00 - Settle on in! 10:36 - Nintendo x Nickelodeon x Krysta37:10 - Games we are playing (why we miss handheld games!)1:15:39 - News news news 1:30:04 - Questions from our Patreon subscribersPatreon shout-outs! - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash- Thank you Superstars - Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, BrustacheFollow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrystahttps://twitter.com/kitandkrystahttps://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrystahttps://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/-Kit & Krysta

Today, we're going to take you through what a typical work day is like at Nintendo.

We'll go through our full schedule so you can get a sense of what working at Nintendo is really like. Also in this episode, we have a monster games we are playing segment with a ton of new games we saw at GDC. We also react to the news about the recent aggressive Pokemon takedowns of modded games.

Today, we're going to discuss if leakers will ruin the reveal for Switch 2, what Nintendo is doing right now to try to stop this and most importantly if we even care. Do we just want to know so badly what this next system is going to be that we'll take the information any way we can get it? Also in this episode, we got a chance to chat with Tomm Hulett from Wayforward to talk about developing Contra Operation Galuga.

This week we're joined by our good friend Stephen Totilo - games journalist extraordinaire! Stephen has been covering video games and Nintendo for decades and has so many insider stories. When we were at Nintendo, there were so many people on our team who were scared at the prospect of talking to Stephen and we never understood why! We dig into all of that with him today. Also in this episode, we recap all the news that came out during Mario Day and reflect on the tragic passing of the legendary Akira Toriyama. We've also been playing some other games other than Final Fantasy VII Rebirth so we tell you what we think of those.

You never know working with celebrities but John Cena turned out to be the nicest guy and a true Nintendo fan. Now we have such a great memory of launching this iconic video game system and playing with the one and only John Cena! Also in this episode, we talk about the recent Nintendo lawsuit against game emulator Yuzu. We also had a big week digging into Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth and tell you what we think of it so far.

This week we are joined by special guest BeatEmUps(Wood Hawker) to talk about what zany gimmicks Nintendo could potentially bring back for the Switch 2. Nintendo is the kind of company who never leaves an innovation behind, so what could they be cooking up for this next console? Also in this episode, we have so much news around the newest round of Switch 2 rumors, the potential Nintendo Direct this week and of course Xbox's big business update. Seems like there is just a lot going on in the video game industry and we're here with the popcorn to see it all go down.

This week we'll be examining if Nintendo is finally going to right their wrongs with Princess Peach with her new game, Princess Peach Showtime. Peach is such an iconic Nintendo character and she's gotten even more popular from the movie last year, it's high time she gets the respect she deserves. Is Nintendo doing enough with this game or will we continue to suffer Princess Peach disappointment. Also in this episode, we share our reaction to the rumor about Xbox going multi-platform and our thoughts on the PlayStation State of Play. We're still playing Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth and it's amazing. We've been palling around with our little pals in Palworld.

We have a gloriously jam packed show for you today filled with all sorts of fun stuff. First, let's talk about what we think is happening with this February Nintendo Direct.

Let's figure it out together. We also have a huge news section where we share our reaction on the Pokemon statement around Palworld and what we think is going on with Aonuma being spotted at Universal. In our 'Never A Minute' segment, we're doing a tier list of the most egregious copycat Palworld designs.

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.

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.

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.

Today we are telling stories about our biggest mess-ups when we were working at Nintendo. It's good to get this off our chests but also a bit hard to relive it. This is definitely us at our worst but everyone makes mistakes and nobody's perfect as they say. Also in this episode, we play a rousing game of Kiss Marry Kill Console WarZ (with a z) edition. In the news, we talk about the Xbox 360 store closing. We also deep dive into Diablo 4 since we've been playing together a ton and let us tell you, there are things the game does not tell you about that we've learned!

We can't believe that in a short two months Super Mario Bros. Wonder will be out. Where did the time go? Today, we wanted to dig into this big game and talk about why it's going to be Nintendo's next big hit for the Switch. Also in this episode, we react to the latest Metroid Prime 4 rumors and talk about Diablo IV while experiencing major Baldur's Gate 3 FOMO.

Today, we are joined by another amazing guest - Gene Park. Gene is the games writer for The Washington Post and he has so much knowledge about the state of video game journalism and what the future will look like for games media. Gene also has a ridiculous amount of access, probably more than most game journalists to the inner workings of Nintendo so he shares some stories about what it's been like interviewing Nintendo developers and getting early access to the biggest Nintendo games. Gene is an incredible person who has shared so much about himself. We're huge fans of him and we hope you are too. Also in this episode, we finished Final Fantasy 16 and share our final thoughts on the ending, don't worry, no spoilers. We also dig into Nintendo's recent financials and share some light thoughts on the Pokemon Showcase. We wrap it all up with questions from our incredible Patreon community.

Producer Stephenie was integral to Nintendo Minute, producing, editing and filming nearly every episode. She's here in-studio to air all her grievances with us (just kidding) but she does have some really fun stories and even things WE don't know about. This is her Nintendo Minute "tell all" and let us tell you... it's juicy stuff. Also in this episode, we're still in our dabble phase with games so we have a big variety of stuff we're playing. We have a handful of news stories and a discussion around video game financials. We wrap it all up with some great questions from our Patreon community.

We have a very special guest today - Jeff Grubb! Jeff is at the center of a lot of Nintendo rumors and we've said before how we trust him because he truly has a different process, approach and sources when he shares information about unannounced stuff. We want to dig into this a bit more because Jeff has a tough job. Also, when we were at Nintendo, we were on the other side of these rumors so hearing about it from Jeff's perspective is really interesting. Also in this episode, we talk about the latest PS5 Pro rumors and the latest with the Dolphin emulator on Steam. We are juggling SO many games right now but it's great because who doesn't want tons of fun games to play. This week, we give you our latest progress on Final Fantasy 16, Viewfinder, Dordogne and Disney Illusion Island. We wrap it all up with a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon family.

Today we're going to dig into an interesting and potentially scary topic about preserving classic games. The Video Game Foundation published some very jarring data that almost 90% of classic games are unavailable to play. Let's take a look at this from the side of players, publishers and those trying to find ways to preserve these games. Are we too late and will some of these games disappear forever? Also in this episode, we tell a story about when Kit's life was almost ruined at San Diego Comic-Con. In our Never A Minute segment we let artificial intelligence take over the podcast and the results are shocking.

We have a jam-packed show today and we're going to kick it off with a fun storytime about some Nintendo Minute lore that you probably haven't heard of before. We finally make that big list of all the 2023 games we would like to play only to have reality set in and bring us to the sad realization that we literally CANNOT play all these games so we have to choose, and we're choosing right now. We talk about some of the games we are playing including Krysta's final thoughts on Ghost Trick after beating the game. In the news segment, we share our thoughts on the new Pokemon show "Beyond the Pokedex". Do we feel like this is like Nintendo Minute?

Today we're thinking a lot about Pikmin since we've been playing the demo for Pikmin 4. We want to dig into a topic and explain to all you why Shigeru Miyamoto is so personally invested in Pikmin. He's really out there personally promoting the game but why is that? We've also been playing a lot of other games this summer. We're making some great progress in Final Fantasy 16 and we've been playing a few indie games like Dave the Diver on Steam and Ghost Trick. In our news section, we dig into Nintendo's involvement in the Microsoft FTC trial and talk about the unfortunate Niantic layoffs.

Today we're finally getting a chance to dig into the latest Nintendo Direct which really changed our minds about where the Nintendo Switch is headed. We know we're getting close to the end of the lifecycle but the golden years sure are going strong with amazing titles launching later this year and into next year. What does this all mean for the future of Nintendo and when will we get the next Nintendo hardware? Do we even need the next hardware or are we all just pretty happy with what we got coming up? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we share our final thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom after we've both beat the game. One of us is also still playing Final Fantasy 16 and we talk about a few other games we've been dabbling with.

First of all, these are 100% not traditional Zelda dungeons and we think this confirms that traditional Zelda dungeons as we know it are pretty much gone forever. Let's discuss. We also got Street Fighter 6 early (Thanks Capcom) so we tell you all about what we think of the game so far. In our storytime, we tell you about the extravagant world of PlayStation E3 parties.

We go through a handful of news and of course answer questions from our wonderful Patreon family.
