Hi and welcome to episode 111 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today, we're going to take you through what a typical work day is like at Nintendo. We usually focus on bigger moments but we realized we've never told you what a normal day during a normal week is like. We'll go through our full schedule so you can get a sense of what working at Nintendo is really like. Also in this episode, we have a monster games we are playing segment with a ton of new games we saw at GDC. We also react to the news about the recent aggressive Pokemon takedowns of modded games. We wrap it all up with questions from our Patreon community.

  • It's funny that you said creating Nintendo Minute was your break, because to me it sounds like the only time you did any tangibly productive work!
  • Happy Birthday. The 3DS also had a birthday yesterday. Nintendo 3DS is now 13 years old.
  • @thawhole9
    Lol having watched K&K's playthrough of Peach Showtime before this episode and Krysta's upbeat reactions to Kits playthrough is just pure gold 🤣
  • @Bugnacious
    I just want to emphasize Kit's wordplay with "cavalcade of Escalades"
  • @justinharrell327
    This is why nothing gets done in a corporate environment. Everybody is stressed working like crazy but nobody actually does anything very useful to the end product.
  • Sounds like it was a miracle you guys still had the time and energy to play games after work. Also Happy Birthday, Kit.
  • @The_Ostrich
    Could anyone at Nintendo just knock at the door of Reggies's office if he needed something from him or was Reggie simply too "high up" and one would need to go through someone else if you wanted to have your requests forwarded to Reggie?
  • @bigwinie
    Being in the gaming industry myself, this Day in the Life section made me laugh because I know exactly what you two are talking about and can relate.
  • @MellowFelloh
    For games we are playing I think it'd be better to have timestamps for each individual game
  • @TigeronStarfire
    Talking about Perrin brings back memories of her interviews with Matt Cassamassina at IGN. Most vividly one of her and Matt sitting on the floor at E3, and Matt's trying to get info out of her about upcoming stuff. Kinda sassy and super fun rep from back when. And oh yes! Happy birthday, Kit! Hope you're having a great one! <3
  • @miiworld2
    Three birthdays in one week - Mine on Tuesday, 3DS on Wednesday, and Kit’s today! 🎊🎊🎁🎁🎂🎂 Happy Birthday y’all!
  • @llauram3650
    Peach is one of my very favourite Nintendo games in a long time, it's so creative and unique. It's the exact opposite of Tears in so many ways, and I love it for it.
  • @PaulGaleNetwork
    Wow, number 111! This is going to be fun. I’m about to watch, but before that goes down…Happy birthday, Kit! Thank you for always being cool and here’s wishing you a fantastic day, plus a memorable, healthy year up ahead. Stay good. 😁 On to the episode!

    I used this podcast to help me power through a last-minute assignment. Thank you Kit and Krysta for your lovely stories. :) -FE_Fanby
  • @Poiwodjdndn
    Happy birthday! Also I’m so glad you guys aren’t boring like so many other gaming podcasts
  • @garththewolf
    I got double the shoutouts from Krysta at the end, yayyyyyyy! xD
  • @xenobryan
    I lasted about 4 months in the corporate world. I worked hourly for 30 years and suddenly found myself exempt and on salary after accepting a promotion. I went back to hourly, with great relief, after budget cuts. The hardest part of working corporate is the unclear schedule.
  • @ZeliotL
    I didn't know Kit was swedish, that's neat!
  • @cosygracegames
    The absolute trauma of those meetings 😂 I’m so glad you can all laugh about them now and joke about how horrible they were 😭
