Unsurprisingly, this news of Nintendo Minute videos being marked private caught the attention of many gamers on Twitter. The tweets from Kit and Krysta have gained more than 6,000 likes combined, and some fans questioned why Nintendo made the videos private in the first place. In addition, some suggested that the episodes might not be gone forever, as they could have potentially been archived by someone else in addition to Kit and Krysta.
While Nintendo Minute episodes may be hard to find now, it is worth reiterating that Kit and Krysta continue to make their own content. Since leaving Nintendo, they have a YouTube channel named after themselves, where they continue to create videos pertaining to video games while also interviewing those in the field, such asReggie Fils-Aime. With this in mind, fans of the content duo should likely expect more from their YouTube channel moving forward.
