[cheery synth music] [Krysta] -Hi guys, welcome back to Nintendo Minute. Well,
[Kit] -Oh? -I'm sad to tell you all. Summer, may be coming to an end.
-Oh that's true, yeah, yeah. -I know. But, that just means it's gonna be fun
back to school time. -You sound excited because you are not going back to school.
[laughter] -I'm not going.
[Nintendo Minute jingle]
-We work year-round, so what do we have to laugh at?
Nothing, no. -Exactly, you guys probably are doing much better, actually,
having a summer break but, um, we hope you had a great summer. We are here with--
-Stuff. -all of the-- -So much stuff. Yeah.
essential stuff for back to school and this year's theme is all
Animal Crossing-themed. Which is going to be really nice.
[peaceful acoustic music] -And we have so much stuff, we're breaking it down
for the essentials, if you are, uh, in elementary school,
middle school, high school, and this is new-- -And,
[both] -College! -We haven't done a lot of college before,
but we got the stuff for college. -You can have all the things
for any grade that you're in, that's the exciting thing. -Sure. Yeah.
-Um, but let's start with elementary school.
[Kit] -Yes. [Krysta] -So, we have-- -What do we got here?
-some nice little items here, why don't we start with this little cutie?
-So, this, you know, this is a bit smaller but you said that you own this yourself,
-It's a mini backpack, it's very fashionable. -It is. Look at it, you know,
compared to me, um, -It's mini. [chuckles]
-strappin' lad myself, but something I liked about this as I was looking at it was,
um, right inside, you can put your Nintendo Switch right there. That's very cool.
-I do it. I'm a user.
And it's very, like, protective for your Nintendo Switch, which is very nice.
Um, and you can keep your Nintendo Switch in there,
you can put maybe some of your, uh, books and notebooks and pens and perfect for--
-Those are the things one would take to school, right? -Take it to school, yeah.
Speaking of which, we can show this really cute notebook and, um,
I like the inside. -Oh, you got to open this up-- -Yeah, I'm gonna open it--
because it's really, really, really cool. So it has, like, these little tabs on here,
and if you, like, flip to it, it's, like, a fruit.
-I like the sound it makes. -Yeah, it is really cute, look at this,
and it's, like, it's nice. So we were, like, "Oh, what if for each one of your classes,
you could--" -Elementary school you're getting the swing,
you know, the swing of this school thing. So it's, like, what do I need
to get organized here? -You gotta get organized. -The basics.
-These are the good habits to build. Um, so maybe, like, this will be fun
where each one of your subjects or something could be a fruit,
and then you can organize your stuff. Put that in your bag,
in your mini backpack. -Now what is this? I see a fork and a knife,
so I'm getting hungry. -This is very important. This is a lunch box.
It's actually nice because it's insulated on the inside,
so it has, like, the little, like, the silver part, or whatever.
-To keep your stuff hot or cool, yeah.
-And it's like the perfect size. -I like the color scheme here.
-Were you a lunch bringer or lunch buyer when you were in elementary school?
-Um, I was a lunch buyer. -I was a lunch buyer too, but yes,
if you are a lunch bringer, here is a nice little insulated lunch box.
-So, this is our, uh, elementary school haul,
we're gonna get set up with our middle school haul with some
embarrassing photos of ourself in between. [laughter]
[cheery acoustic music]
[peaceful music returns]
-All right, we are back with our, [both] -middle school.
-Pop quiz, what grades in middle school? -Six, seven, eight.
-Whoo! -Middle school is rough, so hopefully,
these things will get you through it. So let's start with, um
-You want to personalize your things more. -Yes,
and you probably have more stuff too, so this is a slightly larger backpack.
But the cool thing is about this one. -What is going on here, yeah?
-There's, like, this little clear bit right here and then what you can do is,
you can put your, like, pins that you're collecting, inside on the backpack
and then you can see it through this clear part. -And you can start you off
with one which is cool, and then we got more of these pins here,
so you can just imagine that. -Right, so if you're collecting pins or maybe
you're trading pins with your friends or something like that, this would be so much fun.
You could, like, display all of your pins and see how you do throughout the year.
-I like these. I'm keeping it. -Are you keeping those? You're not in middle school.
-I'm not in middle school but, young at heart, right. -Put them back. It's not for you
[laughter] -Anyhow. And then what do we have here?
You were very excited about this, it's upside down too.
-I am very excited about it. -Please explain. -This is a stationery bundle.
So it has, like, little binder clips in here. It has, let's see,
a notebook, sticky notes, and sticky tabs.
-You like organization, right? Is that a hobby, is that a passion of yours?
-I do, I really like org-- -Yeah. -Should I open this?
I feel like you just scribble whatever you think about, like, anywhere you find a scrap of,
scrapling of paper. -Just grab a pencil, hold it like this and just go,
you know, right? -You're like, it's like a crayon,
[laughter] you're just chalk on the sidewalk, kind of organization.
This is cute because it has like, all your stationery essential needs, right?
-Yeah. -Like, if you wanna use the tabs to organize a book or,
the clips, you got it all here, and it's all very cute, and Animal Crossing themed.
[cheery acoustic music returns]
[peaceful music returns]
-OK, we're back, it's high school time. -High school, um
you can tell by the pictures of myself. Um, my situation is becoming more dire,
[laughter] as time passes. I really could have used some of this stuff,
but let's begin with this. -I don't think this stuff would have helped you but, OK.
-These st-, so in high school, some people learn to drive. -Some people.
Did you learn to in high school? -I did, I did. -I did too.
-That was a big deal. That helped, that helped-- -I really needed to get that car
-Uh, so you might need a key chain, aren't these cute? -These are really cute.
Which one do you have? Oh, the leaf. That's so cute. -On the side there, the leaf.
-Imagine your car keys on these. -Sticky flags. So, you know, you're reading,
it's getting intense in school, in high school. There's, like, you read chapters,
you know, ten through 25, and you got to know, like, the passage,
so you can use all of these, sticky flags, yes. -Yes, to keep your place,
in your, all the books that you're reading for school. -You can calculate like, boy,
the KK Slider one, that was a, burst of creativity and then you can do it that way,
see your organization tips. -Oh, you can make, use it for music class.
-You haven't even thought of that, this is galaxy brain, right?
-Are you trying to compensate for your, like, very, like, traumatized in high school days,
-I'm having anxiety. -you're having, like, flashbacks or something?
-Oh, take a deep, cleansing breath. It's gonna-- -You take the next one,
-We're not in high school anymore, it's gonna be all right,
it's gonna be OK. Um, this is a, Animal Crossing: New Horizons sling bag.
-Cool. -It's like an over-the-shoulder.
-So, that means you do this- Can we, maybe we can--
-I should'a done this before. Anyhow, imagine-- -OK. So now,
anyways, but inside you can have a little spot for your Nintendo Switch.
See, it has a little-- -Oh, yeah. -It's very squishy in here.
-Let me see. -It's very padded, see? -Oh yeah,
it definitely keeps your system well protected. -Yeah and then you can put your,
like, other stuff in the front. -And then this is magnetic? -Mm-hmm, yeah.
-Nice. -It's very chic.
-And then we have an assortment of very nice notebooks. So-- -Right. We got this pattern,
-Mm-hmm. -this one, and then-- -This one, the leaf pattern,
and then this is Tom-- -This is the Tom Nook one. -But the color is so pretty--
-That's when you need to get down to business, you know. -Take notes.
-Crunch some numbers maybe. -Crunch some numbers? -Keep a ledger.
[laughter] -You were keeping ledgers in high school?
-No. No, no. -No wonder you had such a hard time,
you're busy keeping ledgers and not the high school things. -No, maybe, the journaling is,
you know, every of the, secret contents of your heart that you're pouring out into these.
I'm not a, as you can imagine, I'm not a journal person, maybe you are--
-I had a lot of secrets. I was a journal keeper, I'm still a journal keeper, don't read it.
-You need to get a lock and key for this one. -I had a lock and key on mine--
[cheery acoustic music returns]
[peaceful music returns]
All right, college. College. -This is it, college.
Yeah, so we don't have a graduate school category,
you're on your own there. -"PHDers", sorry. [laughter]
MD, PhD, you're on your own. I don't think there's something for you.
-Yeah, we didn't do that, so we don't know. Uh, but this though, college,
-College, we went to college. -You might be in a dorm,
and you want that dorm to look cool, so, you know, you put these right on your bed,
-It's also comfy. -or if you're, you know, studying late at night,
you can put this in your chair and be comfortable.
-Also, it's a little scary to leave home for the first time. -Oh, you might need something
to just hug and squeeze, right. -So you can like hug it. Um, more notes.
[laughter]
fall into the good or bad habits that they might have.
-You know, we know a lot of people who organize themselves by Post-it Notes--
-They, just, write Post-it Notes. And then all around their workspace is just,
-Just, like, an array of Post-it Notes. -a million Post-it Notes.
Hey, if it works for you, we're not knocking it.
So you can use these turnip post/sticky notes.
Again, this could be, like--
It can be like, "I owe Krysta $10," and I hand it to you.
You owe me turn- ten turnips? -Last thing. -Turnips.
-The very last thing. -Last thing. [chuckles]
Very, very nice vacuum-insulated water bottle. -But we got a bunch of these,
so let's look at them. -We got a whole bunch of these. This is my favorite one.
-I can tell. You're clutching it for dear life. -It says "bellionaire" on it.
Look at it. These are nice. Look, it has like-- -Feels, like, velvety.
-It's kind of good.
Tea, yeah, or coffee 'cause, when you go to college-- -This is where you start to,
maybe, like a caffeinated beverage in the morning. -Yeah, and you might need it.
-Right, yeah. 'Cause you are up late studying or, you know, something else.
[cheery electronic music]
[cheery synth music returns] What is a good college game though?
-You need to have, like, -You need a multiplayer game, -multiplayer game.
I was actually just thinking. -Smash Brothers was a huge thing.
-Yes. Mario Kart for me was a huge thing. -Mario Kart, obviously.
I think Mario Golf: Super Rush could be a good one.
is such a good one. -Because there's a lot of, you know, people might
pass by your room and just be like, "Hey, what's going on here?"
And it's a game that it's easy enough for, like-- -Who's just walking by
to know what's going on, -and then you start a conversation on that.
-Or you can invite them in to have a game. -Do you have a pick,
for a great game for college? -Well, you know, I think Mario Party was a game,
we played quite a lot in college. Mario Party Superstars comes out in October.
So, by the time you're well into your semester or quarter in college.
-Super Mario Party, if you can't wait. -Yes, Super Mario Party--
-But yeah, you can play those kinds of fun multiplayer games with all your friends, so yes.
-Well, that's it. -That's it. I'm tired, -That is all of it.
-from going through all the, your entire educational career. [laughter]
-Excuse you. -Your entire-- [laughter]
Um, well, we hope that you guys had a great summer.
We hope that you are excited about going back to school,
and that you have really, you know, high hopes for the new school year.
-Yes, and we're going on, uh, month 5,000 of being working adults consecutively,
so enjoy it while you can. -Yay. It's fun too. It's fun both ways.
All right, we will wrap it up for today, and remember:
Nintendo Minute is never a minute! -We'll see you next week!
-Bye. -Bye! Ah-h-h! -Ba-ba-burble-blp!
[laughter]
