Hi and welcome to episode 111 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're going to take you through what a typical work day is like at Nintendo. We usually focus on bigger moments but we realized we've never told you what a normal day during a normal week is like. We'll go through our full schedule so you can get a sense of what working at Nintendo is really like. Also in this episode, we have a monster games we are playing segment with a ton of new games we saw at GDC. We also react to the news about the recent aggressive Pokemon takedowns of modded games. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community.

| 0:00.0 | Today we are going to be talking about what a regular day at Nintendo working at Nintendo looks like. |
| 0:16.0 | This was our former life. |
| 0:18.0 | This was our life. |
| 0:19.0 | And we spent some time like just recounting our schedule. |
| 0:23.0 | And let me tell you, it stressed us out a lot. Just remembering it, I was like, ooh, |
| 0:28.1 | ooh, I didn't really, I didn't really like it. Yeah, we sat down and we were just like, |
| 0:32.2 | what would a regular Wednesday, not just, not any special day, just a regular run of the mill, |
| 0:56.2 | middle of the week, hump day, as they say. What would that be like? So yeah, we made the schedule from memory that I think is pretty spot on. It's very different from the schedule that we have now, but it's going to be interesting to go through that and take you all through that. Exactly. I think it's interesting because, like, we talk about a lot of big events that we've done or like these huge launches or when we, you know, have special occasions with developers and things like that. |
| 1:01.8 | But what is like a day-to-day life like for a Nintendo employee? |
| 1:06.7 | I don't think a lot of people know. |
| 1:08.5 | So we're going to take you behind the curtain and let you take a look at that. Fair warning. It's not maybe not as glamorous as you think. Speak for yourself. Oh, really? You're just sitting in your office, eating grapes, you know, Mario fanning you. The executive washroom. I never got in there. So I wouldn't know. You're right. I never got in that. Like. I wouldn't know. You're right. |

Costume character Mario, like fanning you on like one of those shay lounges. That's exactly what it's like, yes. No wonder, I should have gotten promoted, huh? Dang, missed out. |
| 1:42.3 | This is one of those topics that in YouTube, like they'll sometimes try and recommend |
| 1:47.0 | you a topic. I should have gotten promoted, huh? Dang, missed out. This is one of those topics that, like, in YouTube, |
| 1:45.5 | like, they'll sometimes try and recommend you a topic. |
| 1:48.0 | And most of the time, it's nonsense, |
| 1:49.7 | because I don't know how they're coming up with that. |
| 1:51.4 | But this was one that we saw. |
| 1:52.5 | I was like, what's it like to have a day working at Nintendo? |
| 1:55.1 | I was like, we can do that. |
