Nintendo Minute lost Kit and Krysta recently — Nintendo veterans who have been at the company for 13 and 14 years, respectively, but both announced their departure in January 2022. But they're not gone forever!
In fact, they've just announced that they're starting their own mini-media empire, with a Patreon, a podcast, and a YouTube channel, although technically those are all the same thing: The Kit and Krysta Podcast, which you can find on their Patreon, YouTube channel, and "wherever you get your podcasts".
The podcast will focus on "never before heard" stories of two best friends working in the video game industry, presumably with a lot of inside looks into Nintendo, too. They also teased the return of content from Nintendo Minute:
"Kit and Krysta are also answering your questions, talking about the games they are playing, breaking down what's happening around gaming and sharing fun segments which Nintendo Minute fans will recognize immediately."
Fans who want access to the podcast early can subscribe to the Kit and Krysta Patreon, which costs $5 / £4 a month, and will give you access to the podcast 48 hours before it releases everywhere else.
Will you be signing up for Kit and Krysta's podcast? Let us know in the comments!

Aw, that's sweet. Glad they're genuinely on good terms and don't hate each other like people always used to say. Hopefully, this podcast will be a lot less forced and awkward than on the official Nintendo Channel. Never cared for Nintendo Minute at all because it was pretty cringe, but with the creative freedom to do and say whatever they want and not just be corporate PR robots, I'm excited.
HELL YEAH DUDE I LOVE KIT AND KRYSTA, SIGN ME THE HELL UP!
@Not_Soos well that picture looks organic and not at all forced so they are off to a good start.
I like Nintendo minute (Sorta), and its cool to see them get back into the game, its just I didn't like them enough to sub to a patreon, (Yes I know its cheap), I mean there cool people, but there content was pretty cringe. But when there weren't doing to cringe stuff, they were fun to watch.
So lets hope the cringe be gone with a podcast not linked to nintendo.
Their video's where fun to watch, so I'll be watching the podcasts as well.
I instantly subscribed and was subscriber number 755. By the time I was done writing my comment they reached 1K subscribers. ^-^
Really looking forward to their videos!
Their absence didn't last long.
Cool, hope they can make it their living.
Whoa cool! That's very exciting!!
Yay! I haven't watched many of their videos lately but always liked them. Glad they'll keep creating content together!
They have been "leaving" for ages now
As long as they stick to stuff they actually like it could be fun. Wonder if they played Senran Kagura. If they did I hope they liked it.
I hope they start cursing like sailors in the new podcast.
Very excited for this and very excited to hear all they’re inside stories over the past 14 years
And here I thought they were paid actors and Kit and Krysta didn't actually exist. 🤔
I figure they be back again.
Who tf are kit and krysta and why is there weekly updates about them
What a nice turn of events! I wish them the best of luck with this.
im honestly surprised people watch podcasts on youtube. This needs to go to spotify or im not interested
Oh god no! Thought they had gone!
@Illusion Meanwhile Gary and Alison were paid aliens, and they definitely do exist.
Doesnt look like it’s on Apple Podcasts yet and thats wherever i get my podcasts.
Is it just me or does it seem like these two are "involved"...
They’re doing the same thing Tim Rogers did. Good for them. Can’t wait to see more content from the duo.
Aww cool, happy to see Krysta already working. Smart of them to capitalize on their brand. And it is a win for Nintendo whom I am sure will sponsor/keep a good relationship with them. K&K are already bound by NDA (which follows you after you part ways with an employer), will have to foot the bill for this show and production, and Nintendo no longer has to pay them a salary. So if the Nintendo Minute fans follow them, Nintendo just needs to toss them a few review games and perhaps an interview or two and it’s free PR. Kyrsta and Kit have a ready made brand and install base from Nintendo Minute. Win-Win.
Nice to see them still up to stuff together! I'm honestly much more interested now that they're content doesn't have to go through a company filter. I'll stick around to see what's up
@Axl_abe for me it's just the convenience of already using YouTube a lot, so it's one less app and account to open up
This is the day that economic professors will point to as the day the Patreon bubble burst.
That sounds meaner than I intend to, as I did like their content okay, and I genuinely wish them the best, but did they really have such an ardent fanbase to support this venture? Maybe I underestimated the number of people who loved their energy. I'm certainly going to watch their first real video.
So I'm guessing this isn't through Nintendo and is fully just Kit and Krysta? I wonder what the content will be? Stay tuned I guess...
@Cheech89
Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang were two former Nintendo employees who played a very integral part in Nintendo's marketing, known famously for the Nintendo Minute series on YouTube, where they basically do what every YouTuber does, but under the special branding and exclusivity from Nintendo.
Both recently resigned from Nintendo due to the San Francisco office being shut down; they did not want to relocate, so they opted to leave instead (on good terms).
WOOOO!!! LET'S GOOO!!!
I am so hyped that they are back to doing a show together, I am looking forward to this! HYPE!
@ModdedInkling
Ahh thanks. It does seem like it warrants 5 articles
Cool! Always liked their awkward, let's-not-talk-about-sex chemistry. That new logo is ugly as hell though. Are they only going to talk about Nintendo games?
And as @Clyde_Radcliffe said, I hope they get to be a little less politically correct and say things they weren't allowed when working at Nintendo.
