Scott’s just dying to prove Simeon wrong on this one.
#513 – Don’t count ARMS out yet. A lot of thoughtful development is going into making this zany fighter a mainstay on Switch. With plenty of characters, modes, and customizations to choose from, the potential for competitive depth is bottomless.

Went back home to get schooled!
#512 – After such a bragging episode that came yesterday, it’s time for Scott to get his humble pie and get owned by his gamer parents! Dr. Mario is right up their alley; experienced virus-busters that they are.

And thus, Scott was the most humble Smasher in all of history.
#511 – With a big Smash 4 tournament coming up, Scott gets some confessions off his chest… like how good he is at the game!

We’ve got better games to play than Mario Kart! Close your eyes and pick something off the eShop.
#510 – Zelda Breath of the Wild is a tough act to follow, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe certainly falls short in that regard. The racing game has its charm and its place in the Switch owners’ collection, but it also has some major design problems that frustrate the player, and makes them want to go back to Zelda!

Just being honest.

We apologize. But not really.
#508 – Oh dear. We’ve done it… we’ve gathered the internet’s most awkward Nintendo screenshots and we’ve put horribly hilarious captions to them! See if you can top ours by leaving your own in the comments.

Scratch ‘n smell ya later!
#507 – Game manuals are… or were… paper booklets included in game cases. They would contain artwork, instructions, storyline information, maybe even cheatcodes! They were a wealth of entertainment and value, recently reduced to nothing more than black-and-white pamphlets, if not done away with altogether. Manuals, we miss you.

Are we kissing handheld gaming goodbye?
#506 – The lines have been blurred. Where once there was a clear distinction between a home console title and a portable one, the Switch has made everything far more vague. Where will the sequels to Nintendo’s traditional handheld titles live? Will there be a price difference for these experiences on Switch? And what truly defines a handheld game in the current gaming generation? All this discussion, and more, in this episode of the Two Button Crew show.

Will ARMS have legs?
#505 – It’s the burning question on Nintendo fans’ minds as we approach E3 2017 – is the next first-party offering going to have enough depth to sink my teeth into? Is it worth the $60 price tag? In this show, Simeon and Scott examining the evidence to support both sides of the argument.

You can count on us to make the best worst videos!
#504 – You know us: Two Button Crew, a couple of smiley, upbeat Nintendo fans. But every once in a while, we have to take a trip to the dark side and examine the negatives of Nintendo fandom. Today, in honor of Simeon’s Birthday(?), he and Scott are engaging in quite the challenge: to identify the worst games on each of a handful of Nintendo consoles.

Go out into the world and be T.O.s!
Gaming tournaments! If you haven’t tried to attend one, you’re missing out! But sometimes, the scene just isn’t there… until you start it. There are probably more Nintendo enthusiasts in your area than you realize, and it just takes some effort and organization to bring those people together. In this episode, Simeon and Scott give you some handy tips for starting your own gaming competition! | Handy Dandy Checklist – Bring: System, game, adapter, controller, TV, laptop, charger, speakers, permanent marker (for marking hands), name tags

The resolution’s not bad – your eyes are just not working properly today!
#503 – Simeon and Scott used to play Pokemon cards before they played much video games. Those were the… old days! And today we’re going to relive some of that fun, while Simeon uses a legacy Pokemon card deck and Scott challenges him with a brand new set of cards. Watch as they attach energy, play trainers, evolve, and kill each other by flipping coins.

Please forgive us for our ignorance.
#502 – Sure, we might LOOK like pros, but we were once a couple of newbs just like the general populous. We did things back in the day that make our more mature-gamer-selves cringe. But at least we’re man enough to admit those past shortcomings! Have you ever been a newb? Sure you were. Hopefully, you can relate to some of the funny stories we share in today’s episode of the Two Button Crew show!

It’s time that the entire gaming industry started paying attention to what we want!
#501 – Compilations, or “sets” of games on a single disc or cartridge, are things that we don’t often think about. They’re great when they come out, but gamers will often pine for sequels or remakes before asking for a solid compilation. Today’s Two Button Crew episode is all about dream-compilations that Nintendo should make!

500 episodes x 10 minutes per show = 83 hours of glorious Two Button Crew content. <3
#500 – The Two Button Crew show has just reached a MASSIVE milestone: today’s upload equals 500 shows on this channel. We’re halfway to a thousand, and we’re having a blast! But when someone shows up consistently and does something every day for 500 days in a row, you have to stop and ask what causes them to keep up all the hard work. That’s exactly what Simeon and Scott are talking about today, as they try their best to explain what it is that keeps TBC going. On this very special occasion, we’d like to thank you, the viewer who is reading this description, for your ongoing support. We do this for you.

This episode was a real BLAST! We were so happy, it was like we were floating on BALLOONS!
MARIO KART 8 DELUXE! It’s all the rage, being Nintendo’s latest first-party release on Switch! And it’s an outstanding game, but we knew that of course, from playing the Wii U version. You may have caught us streaming online, but what you’ve yet to see is Scott and Simeon facing off in a kart duel. That’s right, with our Patreon supporter’s input, we’ve picked two battle modes to duke it out in. Are you #TeamSim or #TeamScott?

As you can see, our childhoods were clearly very entertaining.
Sometimes, plain old Rock Paper Scissors gets really boring. That’s when you have to invent your own version! And with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe releasing in North America yesterday, what better way to play RPS than with Mario Kart items? Indeed, the weapons in the Mario Kart series are balanced not unlike rock, paper, or scissors, where some are more effective against others, and can be countered by others still. Join Simeon and Scott as they do what they do best – goof off!

Lakitu save us.
As gamers, it can be easy to let fantasies of game worlds spill into our daily lives. One of those situations takes place behind the wheel. Have you ever wanted a red shell for that jerk in front of you on the highway? Things would sure be a lot more interesting on the road if drivers were given Mario Kart items and Mario Kart rules to play by. Imagine with us!

Maybe one day, buttons will slide in and out of controllers just like Joy-Con on a Switch, and everyone can be happy.
Buttons. Do you like click? Sponge? Analog, or digital? Diamond layout, or some shaped like beans? For every button Nintendo makes, there are a plethora of preferences. Which controllers or handhelds have the buttons that you like most? Do you agree with Scott or Simeon’s picks – or neither?! Let us know in the comment section!

Let a man dream.
Most fans of Nintendo have come to accept the “fact” that 3rd party support is weak on Nintendo systems. It’s mostly true, and it’s very unfortunate. We wish other companies would support the Switch more, and there are some great games we feel that we’re missing out on! We’ve made a list of all the best, hot 3d party games that we want to play on our Nintendo hardware!
