Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hi Friends and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast. We're very festive this week but we do have to talk about a topic that isn't very jolly and it's all this drama with Nintendo and the competitive Smash community. We've worked closely on this while we were at Nintendo and things are pretty dire. Perhaps it's time for Nintendo to just throw up the white flag and give up trying to control this. We can't jump straight into the unpleasantness so let's ease in with a fun storytime about when we had to steal a Christmas tree to salvage a Nintendo Minute episode about to go awry. We also share our favorite holiday vibe games in our Never A Minute segment. We have a super meaty Games We are Playing segment because we both beat God of War! And of course we answer a handful of questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.
0:00 - The pink Christmas tree is UP!
10:23 - Stolen Christmas tree saves Nintendo Minute
18:37 - Holiday vibe games
27:09 - Games we are playing (God of War, Playdate, Pentiment, Vampire Survivors)
56:56 - Smash x Nintendo DRAMA (News news news)
1:23:53 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers
