Today, we're celebrating the 10 year anniversary of amiibo. We were at Nintendo during the launch of amiibo and lived through the first few years where it was a crazy barrage of launches all the time. We have so many stories to share and so many memories about amiibo that we can't wait to talk about. Also in this episode, we breakdown The Game Awards nominations and talk about Eiji Aonuma's most recent interview on his approach to storytelling in Zelda games. We're playing a ton of new games including Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake and Tetris Forever! All of this and much more is coming right up. 0:00 - Happy 10 year anniversary to amiibo! 13:03 - The Untold Story of amiibo 1:10:57 - Games we are playing 1:35:30 - News news news (TGA nominations, Pokemon TCG Pocket updates, Eiji Aonuma's comments about story in Zelda games) 1:52:11 - Questions from our Patreon subscribers Patreon shout-outs! - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Thank you Super Stars - Ben Eichorn, MaruMayhem, Eigenverse, KissMyFlapjack, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, Switchingitup_, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft and her pig Molly, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Roberto Nieves, Fredrik Ulf Konradsson, Andrew Youhas, Chilly, Simon, krashuri, Master Discord, Ash, Ajay Kundlas, Fortygig 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/ https://bsky.app/profile/kitandkrysta.bsky.social -Kit & Krysta
