Hello and welcome to episode 145 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're celebrating the 10 year anniversary of amiibo. We were at Nintendo during the launch of amiibo and lived through the first few years where it was a crazy barrage of launches all the time. We have so many stories to share and so many memories about amiibo that we can't wait to talk about. Also in this episode, we breakdown The Game Awards nominations and talk about Eiji Aonuma's most recent interview on his approach to storytelling in Zelda games. We're playing a ton of new games including Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and Tetris Forever! All of this and much more is coming right up.
