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. 0:00 - Big news for us! 12:43 - Layoffs in the gaming industry, what is happening? 50:08 - Nintendo storytime - awkward Wii Fit stories 1:08:19 - Games we are playing (Jusant, Fashion Dreamer, Spider-Man 2) 1:33:45 - News news news 1:46:30 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Thank you to our Patreon Superstars! - Aaron Hash, Ben Eichhorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, Sephazon, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Brustache, RainTech Follow Us! https://www.patreon.com/kitandkrysta https://twitter.com/kitandkrysta https://www.tiktok.com/@kitandkrysta https://www.instagram.com/kitandkrysta/ http://www.facebook.com/kitandkrysta/ -Kit & Krysta
