Hi and welcome back to the Kit & Krysta Podcast, episode 91! Today we're going to examine why we have an unprecedented year of high quality games that came out but also a massive amount of layoffs in the gaming industry. What does this mean for the future of video games and how can this be prevented. Also in this episode, we share some awkward stories around the launch of Wii Fit. In games we are playing, we share our final thoughts on Spider-Man 2 after we beat the game and tell you about some new games we've been playing. In our news segment, we talk about Fortnite's potential comeback and Nintendo's upcoming Black Friday bundles and we wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon subscribers.
