Today, we're diving into the topic of emulation and how Nintendo is handling the new Delta emulation app on the Apple App Store. Delta coming to Apple has changed the conversation around emulation a bit since it's made it feel more mainstream and accessible - something Nintendo is not going to be happy about, but what can they actually do about it? Let's dig into this topic! Also in this episode, we have a special guest joining us, Stealth40K who is a prominent member of the Nintendo fan community. We chat with Stealth about the state of Nintendo's relationship with fans and what they can do better as Nintendo prepares for the launch of Switch 2. We've played A TON of indie games this week after the Indie Game Showcase and we tell you all about the ones we loved in the games we're playing segment. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community.

Today we're going to be talking about everything you need to know before you play this game. It's really interesting because Kit has actually never played the game and Krysta has played it multiple times so there are some different perspectives. Also in this episode, we tell you why Nintendo is not attending Gamescom this year and react to John Cena's viral Zelda Instagram post.

Today we'll be talking about what Nintendo can do to buy some time since it seems like the Switch 2 won't be out until 2025. We're entering an interesting time where after the summer, we actually don't know what Nintendo is planning and what games are coming out for the rest of the year. We have some ideas of what Nintendo could be doing to keep everything moving along and still make 2024 a great year. Also in this episode, we're playing a lot of new games but on some unexpected systems and we dive into the drama that's happening at Square Enix with the Dragon Quest development teams.

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'll go through our full schedule so you can get a sense of what working at Nintendo is really like.

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. In games we're playing, we share our spoiler-free thoughts about Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth but get ready for our full spoilercast on the game dropping at the end of the month.

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.

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.

Last week we made our bold predictions about when we think Switch 2 will be announced and released but today we want to take you inside Nintendo and give you a glimpse of what Nintendo is doing right now to prepare to announce and launch Switch 2. For the public, Switch 2 doesn't officially kick off until its announced but we're sure everyone inside Nintendo has been working on this for a long time. What might they be doing? We'll tell you in this episode. We're also doing something super fun to celebrate our big 100 episode milestone by sharing 10 moments that led us to where we are right now.

We're so excited for what this year will bring and we're going to kick it off with a bang with our hot predictions for 2024. We did pretty good last year with our 2023 predictions but this year is admittedly a bit more nebulous. We also lock a few predictions in and if we're wrong there is a severe punishment to endure. Also in this episode, we also have more games we've been playing over the holiday break and we wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon subscribers. All this and more is coming right up! 0:00 - Happy New Year! 8:15 - Our 2024 Predictions 1:09:21 - Games we are playing 1:25:09 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars tier - Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Brustache 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

Thank you to our wonderful Patreon family for making this all possible. Join us today http://Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello and welcome to the final episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast for 2023! 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. Hope you enjoy and see you in 2024! 0:00 - Let's say goodbye to 2023 10:21 - Games we are playing 25:10 - Aonuma's comments on the future of the Zelda series + questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Super Stars tier!

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. Also in this episode, we have a monster Games We're Playing section with Kit beating Star Wars: Jedi Survivor and Krysta checking out a new puzzle game that everyone is talking about, Chants of Sennaar. We talk about the final end of E3 and the cancellation The Last of Us Online. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community. Big episode coming right up. Settle on in and get ready! 0:00 - Happy Holidays! 9:58 - Is 2023 the best year for games ever? 45:03 - Ace Attorney producer interview 55:28 - Games we are playing (God of War Ragnarok Valhalla DLC, Chants of Sennaar, Star Wars Jedi Survivor, A Highland Song) 1:21:36 - News News News (E3 ending, Last of Us Multiplayer Online cancellation, that Aonuma interview) 1:44:36 - Questions from our Patreon family 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
