Have we mentioned that we hate Ice Climber?
#519 – We agree that Nintendo has some serious shaping up to do when it comes to their Virtual Console. Will we ever get cross-console purchasing or a subscription service?

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!

Just being honest.
#509 – Just getting on camera and talking through what’s been going on with our channel lately. Thanks so much for your outpouring of support, and for being a part of this wonderful Crew that we’ve collectively made!

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.

Now all we need are their social security numbers!
#518 – Forgive us for being just slightly on the “creepy” side today as we stalk some well-known Nintendo employees and associated on Instagram! We get to learn a little bit more about Bill Trinen, Charles Martinet, and “Karen”, and perhaps even observe some of their habits and behaviors! Delightful!

I’m still trying to figure out how we skipped from Super Mario 3 to Super Mario 64…
#517 – Super Mario 64 is a landmark game – a revolution in our industry. And recently, we had a young viewer named Rachel who watches our channel faithfully who asked us to “focus on some Mario games that people don’t talk about anymore, like SM64 and SM64 DS.” So that’s exactly what we’re going to do today! Watched some footage as we discuss this incredible step forward in 3D gaming, and see if you don’t have the urge to go and pick up your old three-pronged controller!

The coolest arcade stick is the arcade stick that you have with you.
#516 – Arcade sticks, fight sticks – whatever you call them, they’re a surefire way to up your game and strike fear in your opponents’ hearts. But they’re ALSO a great way to express your artistic creativity, and that’s what many creative gamers have chosen to do! In this episode, we’re showing off the handiwork of some very talented folks who have turned their fight sticks into pieces of art!

They would probably say the whole cheesy “5 to 105” line…
#515 – Who does Nintendo have in mind when they are developing their newest games? Is it people like you? Much younger? Older players? That’s the question that Simeon and Scott are examining in today’s episode of Two Button Crew!

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?
