It’s our debut episode! We had a lot of fun recording this. We’re learning a bit as we go. What an exciting time to be a Nintendo fan, and an exciting time to start a brand new show. There’s much, much more to come.

Metroid Prime Is Back in 2016!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Another TBC Bingo prediction/dream come true, Metroid is returning! Scott and Simeon are split on opinions, so that makes for an interesting episode with different perspectives!

One of the best video game series to grace Nintendo consoles – Metroid Prime – is making a triumphant(?) return in 2016! We couldn’t be more excited about Metroid… But what’s this whole Federation Force, Blast Ball thing about? How should Metroid fans react to this E3 reveal from Nintendo?

Smash Bros: Ryu, Roy, Lucas, and more!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Ah, Smash Bros. You are already one of the best games on Wii U and 3DS, yet you continue to delight with some great Downloadable Content. Paying extra for more characters like Lucas isn’t our favorite thing in the world, but Ryu… Oh boy. Down to forward punch. Yeah.

Smash Bros. hit it out of the park at E3 2015 with all kinds of DLC from characters to stages, to costumes… available that day! We’ve been playing with the new content and have a lot to say about Nintendo’s Smash presentation and continued DLC support.

Star Fox Zero Impressions

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Star Fox is an odd, experimental series with a lot of Nintendo charm and fun gameplay. Zero will be a very interesting departure for the series in many ways. Can’t wait to get our hands on it!

Star Fox hogged the spotlight at Nintendo’s E3 2015 showing, and it pleased a lot of fans. How is this title shaping up to the previous Star Fox games, and other current Wii U offerings?

Super Smash Bros. Movie Rumors!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

A few months ago, these rumors may have been completely discredited, but with Nintendo stepping into the mobile game market, theme parks, and possibly Netflix shows, ANYTHING could happen!

We discuss what a Super Smash Bros. movie could be, and what it would take to be awesome! Game Theory on Sakurai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_2OPd25FOw

Nintendo seems to be setting a pretty good pace for mobile development. It will be really nice to have these games augmenting the Wii U and 3DS release schedule!

We have learned the DeNA and Nintendo are collaborating on FIVE mobile games, each of a different genre. It’s time to theorize and put our wish-lists out there!

Remembering Iwata & His Accomplishments

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This was such a great episode, taking the time to look back on our most fond memories of Mr. Iwata and sharing how he has mad our lives better.

Mr. Iwata’s death is heavy on the hearts of Nintendo fans and all gamers in our industry affected by him. We want to take the time and remember Iwata for all of his many accomplishments, but most importantly for the characteristics about him that made him humble, human, and relatable. Iwata, THANK YOU!

What does Iwata’s Death Mean for Nintendo?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

While definitely a very sad time for Nintendo and Nintendo fans, it is still exciting to look at Nintendo’s future and speculate what changes might be ahead.

After honoring Iwata for his many accomplishments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ThKlUr6dc), we would now like to take a look at what this means for Nintendo. What will new leadership of the company look like? What shifts in Nintendo’s approach can be expected?

Best of Smash 4 Evo 2015!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Scott picked out and recorded all the clips, but Simeon didn’t see any footage previously! It was cool having one host who had already viewed the material and then having one person’s initial reaction.

EVO 2015 was hype – and the Smash Bros. scene was huge this year! Nintendo sponsored the event and the top players all fought for glory. Please enjoy our favorite clips and reactions!
