Summary
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Hi and welcome to episode 53 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is a beefy episode so let's get right into it. Today we're going to dig into this Nintendo Direct and talk about why there has been so much discussion after the Direct about the end of Nintendo Switch. Do we think that's true? Let's talk about it. We also go through all of the Direct announcements and share our thoughts and even grade our predictions. With all the chit chat about Tears of the Kingdom, we found ourselves thinking fondly about Eiji Aonuma so in our Nintendo Storytime, we share a really fun memory about when he visited New York for New York Comic-Con and was a true tourist itching to try all the iconic NY things no matter how questionable! Of course we will be talking about games we are playing and wrapping up with a handful of questions from our amazing Patreon subscribers. This is a long one so settle on in.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. So today we're going to be looking back at what happened during the Nintendo Direct and see what it means for Nintendo Switch. |
| 0:16.0 | Looking back but also looking forward. Yes. What could it mean? The direct was big. I thought it was great. The director |
| 0:21.4 | was very, very positive, but I've seen some of the, quote, media narratives. Oh, the narrative. |
| 0:27.1 | The discourse? Which, um, are interesting to read. It feels like some people are like pouring dirt |
