Worst TBC Episodes of All Time

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Don’t forgive us!


#582 – In the past 581 episodes, we’ve messed up a handful of times. We’ve given you sub par content that doesn’t live up to our high-quality standard. What’s the best thing to do with those shows? Put them in a collection and laugh at them, of course! Feel free to make fun of us in the comments today. This is a day for fun at our expense. Enjoy!

What’s the History of Mario’s Design?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Heh. Tom Selleck. Heh heh.


#581 – The man, the myth, the mustache… Mario himself. Did you know that Miyamoto originally wanted to use Popeye as a mascot? Do you know who Mario is named after? Prepare for your mind to be blown – we’ve got all the details!

Best Nintendo Boss Fights

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This episode is TOTALLY different from our Best Villains episode – trust us!


#580 – Baddies – can’t live with ’em, can’t live without ’em. Today, we’re talking about the chiefs of all baddies, the Bosses. But we’ve already featured our favorite villains in a previous episode of TBC, so today we are focusing on the best battles themselves – the conflicts that were memorable for their setting, challenge, build-up, or conclusion. Enjoy!

Nintendo World Championships 2017

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Do you want to be… the VERY best?


#579 – Nintendo World Championships are returning – completely out of nowhere! Not during E3, not for the launch of a game (that we know of), just randomly. And the qualifiers begin soon! Simeon is here with his new dog Buttercup to discuss the event’s return and its odd choice of preliminary game, Mario Kart 7. What do you think – are you excited to watch the event? Let us know!

D-Pad: 4 Directions of Patented Genius

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Remember kids, Up, Down, Left, Left.


#577 – The Directional Pad is something that many gamers take for granted, but it really was a novel invention at the time that Nintendo introduced it. While it’s been largely taken out of the spotlight by analog sticks, the digital input solution still has its own merits. We’re going to discuss its inception, the Nintendo patent, and what their competitors did in response. It’s another interesting history lesson brought to you by Two Button Crew!

What is “L is Real 2401”?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I guess we’ll have to wait 384 years to see what this cryptic message means.


#576 – L Is Real. Those 3 mysterious words have echoed in our minds since the Nintendo 64 days, where they showed up in Super Mario 64 and later in Ocarina of Time. But the question still stands: what does it mean? This video goes out to Crew member Rachel!

Be sure to decrease the sale value of your car with these awesome bumper stickers!


#575 – Gamers – that’s what we identify as. But it’s not enough just for our close friends and family to know that side of us… no, we need to broadcast it to the world with stickers for our bumpers. Simeon and Scott have selected the best Nintendo related bumper stickers and are going to share them with you!

TumbleSeed FIXED! “Four Peaks” 2.0 Update

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

ALSO forgot to mention that there is a new Multiplayer Vs. mode!


#574 – This game is now awesome. Thanks to the developers listening to feedback about the game being too hard (like ours), you can now purchase TumbleSeed without reservation! This indie game had everything going for it EXCEPT for its cruel difficulty, which has now been scaled back in a 2.0 update. Enjoy! Footage credit: Zeromus

How Switch Can be Improved with Patches

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We’ll take one internet browser please, and a side of… hmm… the DEATH OF FRIEND CODES!


Nintendo succeeded in winning our hearts with the Switch. It’s a fantastic console that’s just begging to be played. However, it is missing some no-brainer features, and we can only hope that their software team is working on implementing those. Things like Internet Browsers and, you know, the violent DEATH of friend codes! Simeon and Scott are here to discuss everything that should be coming to the console/portable hybrid in the near future!

Nintendo Board Games

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

UNO!


#573 – Every once in a while, we need to step away from our entertainment sets and our handhelds. If only to prevent carpal tunnel, a healthy round of board games every so often goes a long way for the average Nintendo fan! But what if gaming and board gaming could unite in a glorious happy medium? NOW we’re talking.

You Might Be a Nintendo Fan If…

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Keep score as you watch!


#572 – Nintendo fans are starting to grow in number again. But there for a while, it was a lonely title to have. Often misunderstood by our Microsoft and Sony brethren, Nintendo fans have to band together and stick together. We have a lot in common, after all, and that’s what this video is all about! Identifying ourselves as who we are: Nintendo fans.

What Gaming Life Hacks Work?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

How many hacks would a wouldhack hack?


#571 – So many games to play, such little time. The only way we’re ever going to make it is if we hone our efficiency to a razor sharp edge! That’s where these Gaming Life Hacks come in, to save you time, stress, and in some cases, money. Thank us later! (Or now, in the comments.)

You’re NintenDoing It Wrong

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We take OBJECTION to these gamers!


#570 – Points for trying. That’s the only thing we are authorized to award in this episode because we’re featuring some spectacular fails! Epic fails, some might even say. These Nintendo fans either weren’t fans at all, or they were having VERY off days. Get a kick out of this compilation, or at least feel better that YOUR picture isn’t being circulated like this on the Internet.

The Ethics of Console Bundling

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I’ll take one NES Classic Edition with a side of GOUGE-ME-FOR-$200 please and thank you!


#569 – GameStop, ThinkGeek, and other retailers are starting to hold their Nintendo inventory hostage and sell it along with a bunch of other junk. If you’re looking for a Switch or even an NES Classic Edition, you may have noticed this questionable business practice… Simeon and Scott are here to look at the issue from all the angles, and determine if stores have a right to do this. And is it in consumers’ best interest? (Go ahead and guess the answer to that one.)

Mr. Shifty Review (Steam)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Thank you Dark Simeon for giving Simeon and Scott the day off!


#568 – Does this episode feel… dark to you? We requested a Switch review code, but were given one for Steam. That left us no choice – no one to turn to, but… DARK SIMEON. He’s played Mr. Shifty on Steam and he’s here to tell you all about it. The game is supposedly EXTREMELY similar between versions, so this video should help you decide if you want to own the Switch game or not!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Or Wonder Girl – don’t you forget it!


#567 – SEGA fans, rejoice – your time has come. This Master System classic has been remastered and released on the Switch! This is a RPG-ish, Metroidvania-ish, Zelda II-ish game that looks and sounds stunning in the rereleased version. Beautiful hand-drawn graphics are really on display here, so take a look at the footage as you hear our thoughts!

Thumper Review (Switch)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Thump for Prez.


#566 – Thumper is a rhythm game unlike anything you’ve played before. Take control of a speeding scarab as you try desperately to stay alive. Crash through barriers, take the tightest turns, and fight back against giant boss battles… all in time with the music! This is an indie title that you DON’T want to miss.

World of Goo Review (Switch)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Goo Balls is really the official term in this game.


#565 – This indie classic has no problem resurfacing on new consoles, and Switch is no exception! Outfitted with touch (and pointer?!) controls, this remake is a must-own if you’ve never played it before. If you HAVE, well, this review should help you decide if the $10 double-dip is worth it or not.
