Hello and welcome to episode 130 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're going to peel back the curtain and reveal who actually is in charge at Nintendo. Everyone knows Miyamoto or Furukawa but there are five other super important and influential people at the company that we both worked closely with making the actual big decisions that impact us all. Let us tell you all about them! Also in this episode, we talk about the new The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom trailer and the terrible shutdown of Game Informer. We're still playing a ton of great indie games and even beat one of them that might be the best indie game we've played all year. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon family. All this and more is coming right up!
