Hello and welcome to episode 197 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! It's our last chance to ask any remaining questions we have about Metroid Prime 4. We also think something bigger is going on with the Metroid Prime series and Nintendo is definitely trying to do something else here that we should talk about. Do we like where the series is headed? Let's discuss! Also in this episode, we're completely hooked on two incredible indie games we've been playing on Nintendo Switch 2 and we won't shut up about them. Also, we're going to go through the official nominees for The Game Awards. Did Nintendo get snubbed? We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers! All this and so much more is coming right up.

0:12.5

It's been a bit of a rocky journey getting to launch.

0:16.5

Nothing's easy for this game.

0:17.7

Nothing has been easy for this game.

0:19.9

We've been on emotional roller coaster a bit, so we just got to do one last final check-in.

0:25.6

The game's going to be coming out in about two weeks.

0:28.6

And yeah, this is the last chance to ask and maybe answer some of these final questions.

0:33.6

This is indeed it, and we've had some time to reflect on all the big

0:39.5

updates from last week, the overview trailer, the preview. So we've got some fresh thoughts on that.

0:45.2

Also, some bigger picture thoughts of, like, it seems like Nintendo's trying to do something

0:50.0

with Metroid, and there's kind of actually a long line of breadcrumbs of like here's maybe what they're

0:55.7

trying to do so we're trying to get into that been doing some investigating on that the pieces

1:01.2

may or may not be falling into place do we like it that's still a bit of a question mark but something

1:08.1

is definitely happening beyond like this is the new metric

1:11.9

prime game. There is something else happening that's fundamentally, may or may not be changing

1:17.3

the course of, you know, the future of the series that Nintendo is trying to do. So we definitely

1:23.3

want to dig into this and take a look at what they might be trying to accomplish. Yeah.

1:27.7

1:28.0

Yeah.

1:28.2

So we're going to get into all of that soon.

1:46.5

Also coming up soon. Next week is a big holiday here in the U.S. It's Thanksgiving. Yeah. I'm getting out of here. You are. You're going to go on. I'm going to Japan for the week. Nice. It's a nice. to be a super long trip but just nice to get out of town and experience it. I've never seen the famous Japanese fall colors. It's very pretty. So that's, that's kind of one of my main goals. And we both went and saw the cherry blossoms in the spring, which was mind-blowing. Yeah, you also went to Japan in the winter, like the snowy Japan. That was very cold. You were cold. I don't think I'm going to do that again. But the different seasons are very distinct and beautiful in Japan. I've done fall colors. It's been like over 10 years since I've seen it, but it is very beautiful. Especially when you go up to those temples and you see all the Japanese maples changing colors.

2:17.7

I'm excited to see that. I am not. I'm pledging to you now. I am not going to the Nintendo Museum. We will do that. Oh, of course you wouldn't be. When you and I go next, whenever that may be.
