Today we're trying to make sense of this doom and gloom surrounding third party games on Nintendo Switch 2. There's been some data shared that these games are not doing well on Switch 2 but does that mean third party games are simply doomed to fail? Also in this episode, we react to the latest update on Nintendo's summer game Drag x Drive and the misinformation around Masahiro Sakurai's latest interview. We're still playing a ton of games on our Switch 2 with some new ones we're really excited about. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon community.

Welcome to episode 167 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. This week we wanted to dig into the topic of what Nintendo can do in the time left before Switch 2 launches to regain control over some of the negativity around the system. This launch has been a bit rocky for them and they've experienced some real highs and lows but there are still a few things they can do to really make sure the launch is as successful as possible. If we were still at Nintendo, these would be the things we would be proposing. Also in this episode we react and talk about the insider details on the Switch 2 ad featuring Paul Rudd and talk about the amiibo price hike - $40?! YIKES. We're also playing some fun new games and we wrap it all up with some amazing and insightful questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

Hi, over the last few days we've seen some frustration and outrage over the graphics of Pokemon Legends Z-A since it was shown off in the Pokemon presents as part of Pokemon Day. Let's dig into here and talk about why this keeps happening with Pokemon games and whether it even matters. This isn't this week's big Kit & Krysta Podcast which is still coming Thursday, but wanted to share our thoughts on this topic with you here and now.
