History WebVideo / NintendoMinute

** On the show itself, an episode focused on travelling tips for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and they were apparently doing this in the spirit of the trip to Japan.

* NoteFromEd: In the "Spin the Wheel" ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'' video, at one point the titular wheel lands on a section requiring Kit and Krysta to play as characters who debuted on the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]]. Krysta says Mario, and a note instantly slides onto the screen:

%%* GamerChick: Krysta is a pretty obvious example. Producer Stephy falls under this category as well, but not made completely clear by the show itself.
* TheGhost: Producer Stephenie only appears on the show as her Mii, and the voice heard in a few episodes may not actually be her; it could be another female producer. Downplayed as of July 27, 2023, where she appears [[https://www.patreon.com/posts/send-us-your-for-86756516 in a Patreon comment asking for questions for her to answer]] in her appearance on ''Kit and Krysta'' later that week, [[UnseenNoMore where she finally appears as a guest star]].

The series ended following both Krysta and Kit's departure from Nintendo of America, with the duo continuing on with their own podcast, ''[[https://twitter.com/KitandKrysta Kit & Krysta]]'', where they continue to talk video games while sharing stories about their time at the company.

Also, [[CatchPhrase it's never a minute]].

''Nintendo Minute'' is an official Creator/{{Nintendo}} themed web series that ran from 2013-2021, hosted by Krysta Yang and Kit Ellis. The exact nature of the show varies by episode, but overall showcases current Nintendo content, including that of third-parties. Kit and Krysta play games, interview people involved in the industry, debate different topics, and unbox items like games or Toys/{{amiibo}} figures.

* {{Adorkable}}: Both of the two have traces of this.

* AuthorAvatar: Everyone is represented by their UsefulNotes/{{Mii}}s in certain areas.
* BadassBeard: In more recent episodes, Kit has one.
* ButtMonkey: The two frequently treat each other like this.
* TheCameo:
** Various game developers have appeared on the show.
** Inversely, Kit and Krysta have both appeared in episodes of the ''Magazine/NintendoPower Podcast''.

** A more straight example occurred on the show itself. The previous episode focused on travelling tips for the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch, and they were apparently doing this in the spirit of the trip to Japan.

* GamerChick: Krysta is a pretty obvious example. Producer Stephy falls under this category as well, but not made completely clear by the show itself.
* TheGhost: The only we ever see of Producer Stephy on the show is her Mii. Though, what seems to be her voice can be heard in a few episodes (if its not her, then its probably another female producer).

* MoralGuardians: Zig-zagged. Typically, the show would never give mature-targeted games the main focus of an episode due to its family-friendly nature, but they would be willing to mention them, such as when ''VideoGame/AssassinsCreedIVBlackFlag'' was brought up in the "Best of Wii U 2013" video, or during Game Of The Year 2017 when Kit chose ''VideoGame/LANoire'' as his best storyline runner-up. This seems to have been abandoned though, in light of videos for [=BlizzCon=] (which is arguably a ''VideoGame/DiabloIII''-based video) and ''VideoGame/TravisStrikesAgainNoMoreHeroes''.
