Thank you to Factor for sponsoring this episode! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Hello and welcome to episode 234 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast! Today we want to dig into the inner workings of video game reviews. How does this whole thing actually work and especially with Nintendo, how do they work with reviewers? There seems to be some misinformation around this so hopefully we can set the record straight. Also in this episode, we discuss Sony's latest comments on the discontinuation of physical games and we're playing the brand new Game Freak game Beast of Reincarnation. All this and so much more is coming right up! 0:00 - Todayyyy 15:20 - How video game reviews actually work 1:25:15 - News news news 1:47:06 - Games we are playing Patreon shout-outs - All Hail the Final Boss - Aaron Hash - Thank you Super Stars: Eigenverse, Mike Chin, Roy Eschke, vgmlife, Link The Hero of Winds, Angela Bycroft, Thomas O’Rourke, Kyle LeBoeuf, Andrew Youhas, krashuri, Master Discord, Travis Torline, MSMPokeGamer, RBurns, KITT 10K, Nafon Clover, TheSharkAmongMen, RainTech, KissMyFlapjack, Paul Gale Network, Cameron, Catsually Nerdy, Xudeverf, David Williams - Konke Gamers, David, Fen O'Connor, Khalifa al Suwaidi 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
