Join us today for tons of exclusive content on http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello and welcome to episode 139 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we're talking about a topic that has been on our minds for awhile and especially since we came back from Japan. We got to thinking that the most iconic Nintendo developers are rapidly approaching retirement age and will soon be leaving the company. If we think the Switch 2 lifecycle will be similar to the Switch, it means it will last about 7 - 8 years where many of these developers will be well over the age of 65. What does this mean for Nintendo and are they prepared for this eventuality? We dig into all of this on today's episode. Also in this episode, we have been playing so many games. We've beat The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and we started Metaphor ReFantazio after all the hype. We have some news and answer some great questions from our Patreon community. All this and more is coming right up! 0:00 - The end of an era is nigh 12:32 - Switch 2 will be the last generation for these iconic Nintendo developers 54:15 - Games we are playing (Metaphor ReFantazio, UFO 50, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, Balatro) 1:26:39 - NEWS NEWS NEWS 1:37:53 - Questions from our Patreon community Patreon shout-outs! - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Ben Eichorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash, Ajay Kundlas, Fortygig Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta

With The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on the horizon, we wanted to talk about the big elephant in the room for Zelda games - the story. We're debating if story is actually important and needed in Zelda games. With the timeline a work in progress (putting it nicely!) and Nintendo refusing to officially acknowledge or put any importance on the story, should fans care? Let's discuss. Also in this episode, we talk about our impressions playing Astro Bot which has taken the world by storm! We discuss how Nintendo might be feeling with PlayStation making a game that feels like a Nintendo game. Does Nintendo care? Are they panicking about Sony copying them? We also react to the latest round of Switch 2 rumors. Do we think there's any truth to the system potentially getting revealed soon or are we getting a bit tired of all this?

This week we have a whole heap of Nintendo news that we're going to be digging into. We were a bit surprised that there was a double whammy Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase AND an Indie World Showcase that dropped this week. This is a bit unlike Nintendo's usual schedule of having these in mid-late September so what could this mean? Also, there was a Nintendo Direct last week showing us this Nintendo Museum and while we're excited to finally see it, we do have some thoughts and feelings about if this museum lived up to our expectations.

A lot of things had to go just right for Switch to be a hit and the pressure was definitely on at Nintendo to make sure it went well. Nintendo Switch will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it was the last system we launched at Nintendo so it feels great to reflect back on what happened over these past 7 years.

Today we're sharing a really fun story with you about the time we went inside Retro Studios in Austin, TX. We have such a special place in our hearts for the team at Retro and we're always rooting for them so it was so great to be able to see where they work and spend the day with them. Also, let's not forget how AWESOME BBQ in Austin is! Yum!! In our Never A Minute segment, we rank every year of Nintendo Switch and talk which year had the best first party games. Do you agree? Also in this episode, we talk about why we think Nintendo is being super cagey and not sharing who is actually developing their games. We both started the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and um yeah... it's pretty hard! We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community.
