Hi and welcome to episode 56 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! We've been really intrigued by the discussion around the Final Fantasy team's suggestion that JRPG is a dirty word. We happened to talk to some Nintendo developers about negative perceptions of Japanese games and share that with you in this episode. We've also been thinking a lot about all of the important people we worked with at Nintendo of America that you might not know about. Sure, everyone knows Doug Bowser and Bill Trinen but there are so many people behind the scenes doing some great and even historically important things that you may have never heard of. By the time you're listening to this episode we would have returned from Super Nintendo World! We share/try to manifest what our perfect day would be at the park so look forward to some vlogs where we share our experience with you. Also in this episode, we share our final Like A Dragon: Ishin impressions since we both beat the game. We wrap up with some questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers.

| 0:00.0 | We are here today to tell you, find people, about the unsung heroes at Nintendo of America. |
| 0:16.0 | You guys know the people, the people that you know. |
| 0:20.0 | Maybe you're, and it's a dwindling number. Maybe you're thinking Doug Bowser, forget him. Maybe you're thinking Bill Trinnan. Forget about him. After that, it starts to get a little iffy these days. Yeah. It's a little cloudy, right? We want to share with you some people who are a little bit behind the scenes, but are doing like really big and important things. |
| 0:38.2 | And I've actually done things that are like historically important to the company and to the |
| 0:43.3 | video game industry. |
| 0:44.3 | I think not only historically important, there's a segment of people there, but also people |
| 0:49.9 | that are sort of, they have the future of Nintendo in their hands as well. |
| 0:54.2 | So what they're doing, what they're working on, the stuff that they're pushing will probably |
| 0:58.4 | determine what Nintendo in the coming years will be like. |
| 1:04.1 | And it's probably people that you guys don't know. |
| 1:06.9 | Sounds so dramatic. |

Yes, and friends. For, you know, over a dozen years or more. So, yeah, we want to share them with you today. Yes, that's going to be very fun. |

| 1:49.6 | You know? |
| 1:50.6 | I don't have, you know, the bank of Japan wiring me money twice a month, okay? |
