Welcome to episode 208 of the Kit & Krysta Podcast where our big Nintendo Direct day continues. We go deep into this Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and try to make sense of a truly underwhelming Nintendo Direct. What happened here and is Nintendo feeling any kind of pressure?

Capcom invited us to play Resident Evil Requiem early and we decided to be brave and go check out the game. We played for a good 3.5 hours and were able to play as both Leon Kennedy and Grace.
