Super Bomberman R – Switch Showdown

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Hope this game doesn’t just BLOW over.


Not to be overlooked by its first-party contemporaries, Super Bomberman R is a Switch launch title offering from Konami, and it’s a BLAST. Har har. But really, it’s a great game for parties. You can play it with a single joy-con and get a bunch of people playing together in mere minutes. Don’t miss this one!

Trip to a Retro Arcade (Vlog)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Pretty sure we’re the next Steve Weibe.


While Ryan Van Liere was in town for the launch of Nintendo Switch, Simeon and Scott decided to take him out for a night of fun at the local arcade. We played a lot of arcade games, Nintendo and others, and sunk a lot of quarters into the slots. Our skills, you ask? You’ll have to watch and see for yourself.

What are the Best 1-2-Switch Games?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

6 out of 28 is a passable grade, right?


The compilation of mini-games that launched with the Nintendo Switch is a compilation of party games. The title appears to have had a pretty short development cycle, too. As a result, some of them are very much skippable! But, there are some standout games in the crowd that deserve to be played over and over again, and they’ll make you laugh every time. Here are the best ones!

Initial Switch Impressions + Early Reviews

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Similar to how “we” was suddenly a buzz word after the reveal of Nintendo Wii, it is now off limits to use the word “switch” without a wink-wink nudge-nudge to accompany its use!


We’ve only had a handful of days with the system, but BOY has it left an impression on us! There’s really something special about Nintendo’s Switch console/portable hybrid platform. And having a huge open world Zelda game on it sure doesn’t hurt! It’s very early to have a full review but we’re happy to provide our thoughts so far, and we’d love to hear yours in the comments below. Tell us how your experience has been!

Playing Switch with Strangers

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

You don’t need to be real life friends to be Switch friends.


Launch day – March 3rd 2017 – we took two Switch units to the local mall and invited passersby to take a controller and give the new console a spin. We found a lot of people who didn’t buy their own console that were happy to give it a try! Impressions were all very positive.

History of Nintendo Arcade Games

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We’re gonna be hitting up one of these arcards real soon! Vlog incoming.


Before Nintendo was making the Switch and other video game consoles, they created arcade cabinets with knock-off games inside! It’s true! What’s more, they placed them inside of abandoned bowling alleys. Yes, Nintendo’s history is murkier and muddier than the polished vibe they give off now. Just before plunging into a new era of console-gaming goodness, we take a step back and look at how far we’ve come.

Waiting for a console launch is kind of like being a fianceé. It’s a very temporary status, can be enjoyable, but the wait is killer.

Hacking the Mini NES Classic Edition

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We forgot to examine the aspect of fun. This WOULD be fun to do.


Nintendo’s recent rerelease of their very first home console has a design flaw… it’s hackable. That’s right, you can hook it up to your computer and load games onto the hardware that Nintendo never intended you to have access to on the miniature device. This is a great opportunity, but it has legal, technical, and even moral implications that must be examined first! Let us do the research for you and then you can make up your mind after this video. Let us know your stance in the comments!

Why We’ll Miss Wii U

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

GamePads are about to gather a lot of dust.


Before we officially say hello to the Switch, it’s time to pay our respects one FINAL time to the home console that has entertained us for the last four and a half years. The console that brought us asymmetrical multiplayer, tablet gaming. The console that is home to some of Nintendo’s finest gaming innovations in history! Wii U, you may not be remembered as a commercial success, but we will sincerely miss you! And here is why…

Top 5 Metroid-LIKE Games

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

If Nintendo’s not gonna do it, someone’s gotta fill that Samus-shaped hole in our hearts.


Metroid fans, we feel your pain… for it is our pain, too. It feels as if Nintendo is neglecting us. And indeed, they may be. BUT – other developers are filling in and bringing us unique experiences that remind us of Samus and her isolated adventures! Indeed, indie developers seem to have taken it upon themselves to give us the classic, 2D, puzzle/shooter/exploration action that we crave. You can’t go wrong with picking any of the titles we discuss in today’s episode!
