Hello and welcome to episode 124 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast!! Today we're sharing a really fun story with you about the time we went inside Retro Studios in Austin, TX. We have such a special place in our hearts for the team at Retro and we're always rooting for them so it was so great to be able to see where they work and spend the day with them. Also, let's not forget how AWESOME BBQ in Austin is! Yum!! In our Never A Minute segment, we rank every year of Nintendo Switch and talk which year had the best first party games. Do you agree? Also in this episode, we talk about why we think Nintendo is being super cagey and not sharing who is actually developing their games. We both started the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC and um yeah... it's pretty hard! We wrap it all up with questions from our amazing Patreon community. Big podcast coming right up!
