Hilarious Wii Slang

Posted on by

Wii would like to slang.


You thought Wii-related jokes had run their course? Not even close. A decade later, Simeon and Scott are revisiting the issue with an enhanced vocabulary of Wii puns and slang that you’ve never even imagined. The Nintendo Wii seemed like it was getting a big downgrade when it received its official name. The codename, Revolution, seemed much more fitting. But if Wii is responsible for allowing us these kinds of puns, we daresay that it was all worth it.

Beat it Blind: Dr. Mario (NES Classic)

Posted on by

We’re gonna be so pro by the end of the series! eSports, come at us, bro!


Dr. Mario history runs deep in Scott’s family. Almost enough to where he could beat levels with his eyes closed by himself – but not quite! He needs a little bit of Simeon’s help, and vice versa! Today the daring duo takes on an incredible challenge, to clear away viruses without the use of their eyes and only the guiding voice of their companion to help. Timing is very important in this puzzle game, and colors MUST be matched if success is to be attained. Lend the Crew your power as you watch – and enjoy!

Stolen TBC Episodes

Posted on by

We demand compensation! Or at least a little bit of credit.


You know when you work really hard on something, and then other people steal your ideas and your work? That’s how we feel right now! There are a few channels on YouTube that are uploading videos suspiciously close to ones that we’ve made (and within a suspiciously close time-frame, as well)… If we’ve ever made a video that looks like someone else’s, we promise we would never take your idea – or at the VERY least we would give you credit and drop a link to the original! Can the same courtesy be extended to us?

What’s up with Super Nintendo World?

Posted on by

Free tickets to Japan, Super Nintendo World, and the Tokyo Olympics please. Thanks, Nintendo!


After a great period of silence, Nintendo is finally lifting the curtain a little bit on their theme park! It’s Super Nintendo World, coming to Universal Studios Japan in 2020, just in time for the Tokyo Olympics. These parks will feature Nintendo’s most famous mascots with rides, merchandise, restaurants, and “interactive attractions” featuring the likes of Mario and Zelda! We discuss the latest news, most recent piece of concept art, and the patience needed when dealing with theme parks.

Ultimate Super Mario Run Challenge

Posted on by

Scott is now taking eSports sponsorship requests… Anyone?


There are three levels in Super Mario Run that can only be unlocked by collecting each and every secret coin of a certain color. These are the three warp pipe levels of yore, and today, Scott will attempt to beat them. Luigi is his character of choice for his high jumps, and each hidden coin must be retrieved before he is allowed to progress to the next secret level. This is the height of challenge in Nintendo’s newest mobile game, so wish him luck and lend him your strength as he attempts the Ultimate Super Mario Run Challenge.

What Genres are Nintendo Horrible At?

Posted on by

Trying to make our episode titles a little more SENSATIONAL!


We all know Nintendo loves their platformers – that’s the genre that they specialize in. But when they are the company that’s responsible for servicing fans of all kind that use their hardware (because third parties aren’t historically the most supportive), there are some genres that receive the cold shoulder. That neglect is either due to games with poor or questionable execution, or just no games to speak of at all. Have you ever thought about which types of games Nintendo is strong or weak in? Let us run you through a list of all the major genres.

Switch Presentation – Knee Jerk Reactions!

Posted on by

The hype train was real… it barrelled through here and plowed us over. Man oh man!


Catch the TBC Direct LIVE STREAM tomorrow

Scott is hot off the Switch hype from Nintendo’s full presentation! What a whirlwind of announcements. This is his knee-jerk reactions, recorded literally minutes after Nintendo’s live stream ended. He’s pretty happy about the console’s features, hardware, release date, and games… but some of those prices? OUCH! What did you think of Nintendo’s announcements made from the stage in Kyoto?

Top 10 Switch Bombshell Announcements

Posted on by

If we can live through ten bombshells like these ones, we can face just about anything.


For a full hour last week, Nintendo streamed live from the stage in Kyoto and presented us with announcement after announcement regarding their new home console, Nintendo Switch. We learned the console’s price, release date, online capabilities, Joy-Con technology, and much, much more. But which of these huge pieces of news do we regard as the most important? And which announcements are we remembering fondly, rather than with a sour taste? Watch this video for a complete rundown on the ten most important moments of the January Switch Presentation!

Why is Switch’s Voice Chat Through A Phone App?

Posted on by

Voice chat – real, true, genuine, actual voice chat on a Nintendo system. Someone pinch me.


The Nintendo Switch is taking a little bit different of an approach when it comes to online voice communications… all of that data is going to be funneled through a new mobile app the Nintendo is publishing later in 2017. This is a strange choice, and isn’t something we’ve seen before in the gaming industry. Will it end up being a positive or a negative for those who pick up the new console/portable hybrid? Ryan is here with a Crew Cut to examine all aspects of the issue!

We’re taking the absolute worst 3rd party controller ever conceived and trying to progress through a variety of different motion-controlled Wii challenges.

What’s At the Nintendo NY Store?

Posted on by

Tickets to NY, please? This is somewhere we can conceivably hit up before our flight to Japan for Super Nintendo World…


It sounds like a dream: an entire multi-level store dedicated to our favorite brand, Nintendo. But it’s not a dream – it used to be the Pokemon Center, then it was Nintendo World, and now it’s Nintendo NY. And in case you were wondering, it’s based in New York. This magical retailer is run by Nintendo staff, and is decorated to the nines in Nintendo themed goodness! Baby teethers? Check. Games playable before they are released? Check. Guest appearances from famous Nintendo staff? Check. We need to visit this place.

What?!? Most Surprising Nintendo Plot Twists

Posted on by

This might be the first episode for which Scott just didn’t even try to prepare content.


Simeon has really knocked it out of the park and collected a list of the best surprising story turns in Nintendo history. These are the moments that made you stop and say ‘wow’ as you watched it unfold in front of you on the screen. Nintendo doesn’t often focus on story, but when they do, they write some exciting moments.

Zelda: Skyward Sword Review (Wii)

Posted on by

“Yeah, I think it would be great if we totally forgot about the pointer on the Wii Remote and arbitrarily used motion controls…! Dahur!” – Skyward Sword Developers


After battling the game for around a year, Simeon finally declared defeat over the evil Demise and saved Hyrule. It wasn’t a quick trip through this Wii classic, but Simeon was noting his experience along the way and he has returned from the journey to tell us all about it. With the game being recently released for download on Wii U’s eShop, this is a great opportunity to see if a revisit to this game is worth it for you!

Nintendo’s Most Generous Offers

Posted on by

On Thanksgiving day, what could be more appropriate than recounting the generosity of Nintendo for which we are so thankful?


In the USA, today is the wonderful Holiday of Thanksgiving! So in a reflective episode, we take the time to think back on the times that Nintendo has been the most generous. Sure, we understand that they are a business and they have to make money in order to stay afloat and continue to provide us with great experiences… Yet! This video contains some great examples of Nintendo going out of their way to make customers feel valued and important, and for those we are very thankful.

NES Classic – Super C (Contra Gameplay)

Posted on by

When your BFF gets the machine gun, the bullet spreader, AND then dies right away.


In an effort to live up to his brothers’ reputation, Scott takes the NES controller, plugs its short cord into the NES Classic Edition console, and tried to make some headway in the Contra sequel, Super C. Of course, as always, Simeon joined him for the effort and ironically performed far better than his cohost counterpart. The few attempts are amusing, and hopefully you enjoy the retro nostalgia goodness!

There’s Two Wires!

Posted on by

This is probably the absolute peak of gaming fun. That’s it – we’ve reached the pinnacle. It’s all down-hill from here.


We don’t have a good explanation for this episode – we really don’t. Let’s just say that a little gem from Simeon and Scott’s past has popped up again, so they’re revisiting a pair of games that brought them a great deal of joy one decade ago. Watch them fumble through the flash games “Double Wire” and “There’s Two Wires” and then try for yourself!

Heads-Up, Nintendo Edition! #2

Posted on by

If one round Heads Up wasn’t enough for you, well then sit back, relax, and enjoy. We’ve got more sticky-note Nintendo mania for you right here.


Heads-Up is the hilarious game where one person puts a character on their head and, not knowing what it says, has to ask yes or no questions about the character to guess their identity. Well, we’ve grabbed some sticky notes and a few pens, because that’s all you need to home-grow your own version of the party game and play it with friends. As always, our version of the game is completely Nintendo-focused with only Nintendo characters to guess from. Here we go!
