Hello and welcome to episode 212 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! This week we want to go deeper on what it means for Nintendo's 2026 Switch 2 release calendar now that Pokemon Winds and Waves is launching in 2027. Does this mean the deck is cleared for a 3D Mario or 3D Zelda game? Is Nintendo surprised by this at all? We get into all the details here. Also in this episode, we both finished Resident Evil Requiem! We share a few thoughts here but to hear more be sure to tune into our spoilercast on the game coming later this month. We also answer a handful of juicy questions about the Zelda 40th anniversary and also if we think Nintendo needs to refresh the Nintendo Direct formula. All this and more, coming right up!
