Zelda Escape Room Experience (VLOG)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Wait… if they didn’t solve the last puzzle, how did they get OUT of the Escape Room?


Recently, Scott was fortunate enough to make it to one of the Zelda Escape Rooms put on by SCRAP and Nintendo. He traveled to Seattle with his friends Joel and Meagan, and Vlogged the whole way! Well, no cameras were allowed during the puzzles themselves but you’ll still get lots of cool glimpses into their adventures. Music: Saria’s Fairy-Go-Round | ZipZipper & Harmony of Heroes

April Fools: Prank Calling Nintendo

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

No really! We prank called Nintendo! We’re not fooling you!


What better way to celebrate April Fools than to give your favorite company a call? We phoned a couple different customer service reps, and they were very helpful… even in the face of the complete nonsense that we were throwing at them. Note: Each Nintendo employee was given a perfect survery by Simeon and Scott.

Bomberman Co-Op Mode on Switch

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The fume is strong with this one.


Bomberman is the perfect game for the Nintendo Switch – the portable home console that always has two controllers with it! Whether you’re doing some multiplayer showdown matches or teaming up to take on the story mode campaign, it’s always… a… BLAST!

How Switch Combines Past Systems

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

No idea why they didn’t mention the Virtual Boy at all…


The Nintendo Switch is the product of over 30 years of hardware manufacturing. Its designers learned a lot along the way, and have kept the best features of each console that proceeded it. The result is a Nintendo system that has a little bit of everything!

What Makes Zelda: BotW So Incredible?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Also, carrying around floppy mops and killing people with them makes this game pretty incredible.


Zelda: Breath of the Wild is quite possibly Nintendo’s most anticipated release in history. Fortunately, it’s safe to say that the title delivered in force! The game was met by resounding positivity from critics and gamers alike. In this episode of the Two Button Crew show, Simeon and Scott are trying to dissect the specifics of what makes this particular entry in the Legend of Zelda series so special.

Did Switch Have Enough Launch Software?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Not only did we MOSTLY forget Just Dance, we COMPLETELY forgot Skylanders. I guess that tells you we are definitively not their target audience…


Another Nintendo console launch has come and gone! New systems are neat, but at the end of the day, it’s the games we care about. We buy our new hardware for the unique experiences that can be had on them. With that said, we are turning our scrutiny to the launch lineup of games that Nintendo and a few third parties prepared for us. Did it cover the bases for a variety of gamers? Is there enough to be satisfied until another batch of releases? Find out our thoughts in today’s episode, and let us know your thoughts in the comments below!

Splatoon 2 Global Testfire Impressions

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

At least this is one game that we can say Nintendo gave us early access to! Har har.


Did you enjoy the Splatoon 2 Global Testfire? We sure did! It’s kind of crazy that the game is already in a fully playable state so far ahead of launch. Hopefully Nintendo used this opportunity to spot any hiccups or shortcomings with servers, but our experience was very smooth! In this video we’ll talk about the stages, weapons, and controls of the surprising squid sequel to the Wii U hit original.

Beat It Blind: Snipperclips!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

If we can accomplish this feat blindfolded, I think that means we’re a CUT above the rest. GET IT?!


Snipperclips is a fairly challenging game! This second-party title, uniquely created for the Switch console, is perfect for two players, but the difficulty does ramp up after only a handful of levels. So we thought… why not make this incredibly more challenging by having a blindfold on one of the players at all times?! I MEAN WHY NOT?!

Nintendo’s Top-Selling Wii U Titles

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Nothing more thrilling than game sale figures, amiright?


You might be very surprised at the sales records that some of the best Wii U games set. While not regarded as a financial success by most, the Wii U platform was home to some of Nintendo’s most polished work. And the sales figures and various attach rates prove that! Come with Simeon and Scott for a walk down monetary lane as they look at some dollars and cents.

What’s Going On with the Metroid Series?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Now excuse us as we cry ourselves to sleep.


We are Metroid fans through and through. What that means is this: if you are also a Samus enthusiast, we feel your pain. Metroid fans typically get the short end of the stick, and we feel overlooked when Nintendo services many of their other IPs but leaves the Metroid fanbases with leftovers. We want more Metroid, and we want work from Nintendo’s A Team! We at Two Button Crew don’t feel like that’s too much to ask, so today we’re looking at where in the world (or galaxy?) the Metroid series has disappeared to.

Best Nintendo Sidekicks of All Time

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

TBC needs an offical… sidekick… YouTube channel! Now accepting applications.


Every superhero has a sidekick, and Nintendo’s stable of heroes are no different! But the characters that we find in Mario’s and Link’s shadows are not to be overlooked, because sometimes those characters are the ones that leave the biggest impression. That’s right – today’s all about the hero-helpers that made our gaming experiences amazing!

Speech Jammer Challenge

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The bonus materials for Patrons from this episode turned out as pure gold!


Speech jammers are devious contraptions that capture your audio and repeat them back to you via headphones, with a catch… a big delay that makes it very difficult to focus on what is coming out of your mouth. What then, will the results be when Simeon and Scott attempt to read humorous Nintendo-related snippets while hooked up to such an apparatus? Good news; you won’t have to look further than this episode for the answer to that question!

Can Switch Outsell Wii?!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Sure Kimishima! Whatever you say…


The new President of Nintendo has made some bold claims. Mr Kimishima believes that lightning has struck twice, and that Nintendo Switch can outsell even the Wii. Those are some big boots to fill! Simeon and Scott are here to discuss the implications of his statement, and determine whether or not those kind of sales figures are a possibility in today’s gaming climate.

Zelda: BotW Challenge – Infiltrating Ganon’s Castle

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Can you imagine what we’d do if we just beat the game while making this episode… accidentally?!


Can we make it into Ganon’s castle, with only early-game items and armor?! Ryan, Simeon, and Scott take turns with the pair of Joy-Con to see what they can do against the Malice and Guardians. Spoiler disclaimer: We approach the endgame, but do NOT meet the final boss.

Should 3DS Have a Future?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Simeon and Scott – judges of consoles’ and portables’ fates alike!


3DS originally launched in 2011. That’s a long time ago for a handheld! In the time since it’s been revitalized with its “New” branding and features, but the platform is still looking long in the tooth, especially when examined next to the new Nintendo Switch. Switch almost leaves 3DS in the dust, and that’s exactly what Simeon and Scott are discussing in today’s installment of the Two Button Crew show; should 3DS have a future?
