Ep 88: This Nintendo E3 Moment was CURSED!
Hi, welcome to Episode 8 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We're sure you all heard the news this week that E3 2022 is officially canceled, so we thought we'd share one of our many E3 memories. We've both worked on too many E3s to count (for better or worse) but this particular moment was truly something and might have scarred one of us for life. We also have a very special opportunity for you to ask some questions to Shinichi Kameoka, the developer of EGGLIA: Rebirth. Shinichi Kameoka is a character designer, producer, and director whose art style is as recognizable as the names of the games he’s worked on are revered. His work on the Mana series helped make the games so memorable, and since producing Mother 3, he’s been a vocal advocate of its localization for Western audiences. He’s gone on from Nintendo to found his own company, Brownies, who have recently released their latest title EGGLIA: Rebirth on the Nintendo Switch. We know many of you are huge fans of Mother 3 as well as the Mana series so here's your chance to ask your questions to the man himself. We'll pick 10 questions to ask him and those same 10 people will also get codes for EGGLIA: Rebirth. Ask away! We have this and lots more on today's jam packed show so let's get started, shall we? 0:00 - Let's begin 6:33 - Cursed E3 moment (yikes) 31:29 - Never A Minute - Rapid fire questions 37:39 - Games we are playing 1:02:23 - Newssssssss 1:17:21 - Your questions Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta
