Hello and welcome back to another exciting episode of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This is our first (of many) episodes dedicated to talking about the next Nintendo hardware. With so many rumors about Switch 2 recently being shown to partners at Gamescom, it seems like we are closer than we think to learning more about this thing. So today, we're going to talk about 10 things Nintendo really needs to get right to make this next system a hit. It's really hard to transition from a super successful hardware generation to a new one so there is a lot to get right? Will it happen... we don't know but let's talk about it! Also in this episode, we have a monster games we are playing segment because we are playing some huge games. We also have quite a bit in the news segment where we'll dig into Aonuma's recent comments that there is no Tears of the Kingdom DLC, E3 trying to crawl back from the grave and more. We wrap it all up with questions from our wonderful Patreon subscribers. It's a packed episode so let's go!
