Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hello and welcome to episode 105 of the Kit and Krysta Podcast! This week we are joined by special guest BeatEmUps(Wood Hawker) to talk about what zany gimmicks Nintendo could potentially bring back for the Switch 2. Nintendo is the kind of company who never leaves an innovation behind, so what could they be cooking up for this next console? Also in this episode, we have so much news around the newest round of Switch 2 rumors, the potential Nintendo Direct this week and of course Xbox's big business update. Seems like there is just a lot going on in the video game industry and we're here with the popcorn to see it all go down. In games we are playing, we've still been going strong through Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth but we've also been playing some new stuff like the Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth demo and it's all very fun so let us tell you all about it. We wrap it all up with a few questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All this is coming right up!
