Name that Game! (By its Description)

Metroid: Other M – Success or Failure?

We agree that Metroid: Other M deserves a lot more credit than it gets, so it was really fun to go against popular opinion here and try to convince the masses. Give Other M another chance!

One of the most polarizing games of last generation was Metroid: Other M. A drastic new direction from Nintendo we met with harsh critical and fan reception. We share some different perspectives on this unique entry in the Metroid franchise!

Debate: Should Custom Smash Bros. Moves be Legal?

We have the privelege of being a part of a great, thriving Smash Bros. community in our area, so we took our experiences with the competitive scene and weighed in on the Custom Moves debate. Either way things go, we’re big Smash Bros. fans and will continue to enjoy fighting for Glory in Smash Bros!

There are hundreds of custom special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Should they be legal in tournament settings? Simeon and Scott speak from their own experience and present differing opinions from the Smash Bros. community.

Nintendo vs. Voice Chat

Nintendo struggles to perform the balancing act of protecting their young fans as well as meet the expectations of adult fans. Voice chat is one of those areas that Nintendo fans may have felt slighted, considering the robust communication offerings on other consoles. In this episode, we took an honest look at the situation and the implications of Nintendo’s recent decisions regarding voice chat. It’s a more serious episode and it was cool to see that the TBC show can be lighthearted and fun as well as contemplative and heavy when appropriate.

The battle between Nintendo and online voice communication rages on. Nintendo has dipped their toes in the water with recent Wii U releases, but completely excluded voice chat in others. What’s really going on with this situation? What do gamers want to see happen?

The Game Name Game Show

Video games have had such weird names that pretty much anything can pass as a game title. We really enjoyed this game, researching the craziest game names as well as making things up for the deepest depths of our creativity. Enjoy!

Did these crazy-named video games actually come out on a Nintendo platform, or are they completely made up? Simeon and Scott face off in an epic competition of video game knowledge and trickery.

Debate: Smash Bros. DLC Characters

We are both pretty passionate fans of the Super Smash Bros. series. Sometimes it feels like a love/hate relationship, but we just care so much about the game and the decisions that the developers make! More importantly, the advent of DLC in Smash Bros. opens up endless fun to be had theorizing over additions and debating for characters to be grafted into the roster.

What character would you like added?

The Ultimate Nintendo Theme Park

A Nintendo theme park has been one of our dreams for a LONG time! It’s really going to be quite the magical place. Nintendo’s characters and worlds are going to come to life in ways that they never have before. It’s so good to see the company stepping out in brand new ways.

Nintendo and Universal are teaming up to bring Nintendo-themed rides to Universal theme parks! The possibilities are wide open, so join in the fun as we theorize what a Nintendo theme park could be!
