Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hi and welcome to episode 113 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! 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 wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. All of this is coming right up!

| 0:15.0 | By all accounts, this is something they're going to need to do. |
| 0:19.0 | If the reports are true that the Switch 2 had a little internal shift in the calendar to the first quarter of next year, |
| 0:29.1 | the thing hasn't been announced, so it's not technically a public delay. |
| 0:32.9 | Yes. |
| 0:33.4 | But it might be different timing than they were expecting. |
| 0:36.0 | I think so. |
| 0:36.5 | So there might be a little fire drill happening at Nintendo right now of like, oh, we need to keep |
| 0:41.2 | things going and a moving for a couple months longer than we thought. |
| 0:45.8 | So what kind of plates can we spin up to keep people engaged with us? |
| 0:49.8 | Yeah. |
| 0:50.1 | And when we were at Nintendo, these kinds of things would happen. |
| 0:53.5 | Yeah. |

| 1:31.3 | And yeah, based on all of our experience working there and dealing with situations like this, |
| 1:36.3 | I can see the pressure building a bit over at Nintendo. |
