*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hello and welcome to episode 220 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week, we want to talk about Nintendo Direct. It's the biggest thing in the Nintendo community (and even beyond) and it feels like Nintendo's been doing these forever but we also haven't had a big Nintendo Direct all year so what's going on? Also in this episode, where is this rumored Star Fox game? In our news section we discuss Final Fantasy 14 coming to Switch 2 and the latest Xbox news. We're also playing a new game that has major game of the year potential. All this and more is coming right up!
0:00 - Where is Star Fox?
9:30 - Is this the end of the Nintendo Direct era?
1:03:38 - News news news (Final Fantasy 14 coming to Switch 2, Xbox heading in a new direction, PlayStation DRM)
1:26:10 - Games we're playing (Vampire Crawlers, Replaced, Windjammers 2)
