Hi and welcome back to another episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we're thinking a lot about Pikmin since we've been playing the demo for Pikmin 4. We want to dig into a topic and explain to all you why Shigeru Miyamoto is so personally invested in Pikmin. He's really out there personally promoting the game but why is that? We've also been playing a lot of other games this summer. We're making some great progress in Final Fantasy 16 and we've been playing a few indie games like Dave the Diver on Steam and Ghost Trick. In our news section, we dig into Nintendo's involvement in the Microsoft FTC trial and talk about the unfortunate Niantic layoffs. We wrap it all up with questions from our awesome Patreon subscribers. This is also the last week that Kit is in Taiwan so the next time you see us, we will be reunited in person. What will happen? Who can say! Let's goooooo...

| 0:18.9 | It's so obsessed with the Pickman series. Why? |
| 0:22.0 | Yeah. We have been playing and enjoying the Pickman 4 demo, and it's made us think back to the |
| 0:26.6 | history of the series. And again, Mr. Miyamoto seems to have this singular obsession with |
| 0:33.3 | Pikman that's got it to this point where it is now. We're going to dig into that deeper today. |
