In the Nintendo Direct last week, we saw some really amazing looking amiibo but then after we learned how much they would cost and we were a bit shocked. We wanted to look back at the history of amiibo and examine how things started with amiibo priced at $12.99 and now we're seeing amiibo priced at $49.99! A $50 amiibo is wild and is almost as expensive or sometimes even more expensive than most some games - so what happened? How did we get here? Let's discuss!

The rumor mill is spinning about a potential Nintendo Direct this week and that's got us thinking about leaks at Nintendo. Why are there SO many leaks coming out of Nintendo lately? It feels like over the last few years, everything Nintendo is about to announce leaks weeks if not months before they've had a chance to announce it. Why is this happening and what is the cause?

The Nintendo Switch 2 game key card situation just took an unexpected turn and we want to dig into one publisher's specific reason they HAD to use a game key card to bring their game to Switch 2. The reason might surprise you. Does this change your opinion of game key cards? What do you think this means for the future of third-party games on Switch 2? Let us know in the comments!

We've been thinking a lot about what Nintendo's long-term plan is to get new younger players into their gaming ecosystem. With gaming habits changing to SO much in the last few years, Nintendo is going to have to do some other things if they want to stay relevant with the younger generation. It's an interesting time to look into the question since the Switch 2 is selling so well, but this is a topic where they really need to look ahead into the future. Are they doing enough or are they doomed to fail?

Nintendo is definitely dealing with some challenges around getting launch dates settled for the rest of the announced 2025 Switch 2 games but where does that leave Kirby Air Riders? Is this game really coming out in 2025 and more importantly, does Nintendo feel like HAS to come out in 2025? We talk about how it works inside Nintendo when they make these kinds of decisions.

Join us today at http://www.Patreon.com/KitAndKrysta for exclusive content including predictions and reactions to the latest Switch 2 news *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Greetings! We've been thinking a lot about the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that ran yesterday. We think it's very unusual that we're now in August and there are still five major Switch 2 games (Metroid Prime 4, Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment, Kirby Air Riders, Elden Ring and Final Fantasy 7 Remake) that are supposedly releasing this year, but somehow don't have a single release date between them. Based on our experience of actually working at Nintendo, this is something they are probably pretty concerned about and trying to get a handle on as soon as possible. Let's talk about what's going on, why it's happening, and what the scenarios are for what could happen from here.

We're here with your ultimate Nintendo Switch 2 third party game guide. We all know about Mario Kart World and other games from Nintendo that many people are going to want to get, but there are so many other great games coming from third parties as well. We've actually played a lot of these games on other platforms and there is also just a ton of information about these games but in all different places so we're going to consolidate that here for you and let you know what we think of these games and if you should play them or skip them. There are a lot of these games (almost 20!) so we've timestamped them here for you. Enjoy the video and let us know if you'll be picking up any of these games!
