What Switch Accessories Should I Get?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We’re always here for you, with the hardest of hard questions, like… to Charging Grip, or not to Charging Grip?


Switch. A new console, a new frontier, a new lifestyle. With the console come many choices for games and accessories, and you might be left wondering what you need, what you might want, and what you should leave alone for some other chump to buy. Simeon and Scott are here for you to sort it all out – you gotta go into launch with a plan and know exactly what you’re walking out of that store with. Lets. A. Go!

Making Sense of Shovel Knight Versions

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Remember the simple old days where a whole game was just on a cartridge?


Shovel Knight, once a humble Kickstarter campaign, has snowballed to become a massive undertaking for its developers. Stretch goal upon stretch goal were smashed by the game’s enthusiastic fanbase of supporters, ultimately leading to some bloat and confusion as the project ages. True to their weird, developer Yacht Club games is keeping their end of the bargain by updating the original purchaser’s games with the new features, campaigns, and modes, but THAT is precisely where the simplicity ends. Watch on to see what we mean.

Thanks again to GameOver Jesse for being our show’s BFF!

We’re here today with good friend of the show, GameOver Jesse, to discuss how we intend to play through Nintendo’s newest Open Air Adventure. What will our first destination be? Are we going to abuse amiibo? All that and much more in today’s episode.

The Nonspecific Action Figure Special

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Everyone, retrieve your Smash Ballots, cross out “Bayonetta” for goodness sake, and write this wonderful man in!


Nonspecific Action Figure, the mysterious mascot that helped introduce us to the Wii U. Quickly forgotten, NSAF didn’t quite get to enjoy his time in the spotlight that he deserved. Well, we’re going to do our best to rectify that issue and spend an entire video talking about him, his plasticness, that mask, those muscles, wings, and sword?! NSAF, who are you? Where did you go? And for the love of Sakurai, WHY AREN’T YOU IN SUPER SMASH BROS?

Handheld Launch Titles: Looking Back

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Tetris should just launch with every new console and then the video game market would be set for life!


Ah, platform launches. We Nintendo fans live for these! And with Nintendo, we typically get 2 or 3 every decade with home and portable systems alike. New hardware is part of the appeal, but it would be worthless without the brand new games to play on it! In this video, we’re taking a look at the software titles that launched each of Nintendo’s major portable consoles. Were they a good fit for their systems? Were they received favorably? Did they propel their system to success? These questions will all be answered within this episode of the Two Button Crew show!

What Are the Best Custom Amiibo? #3

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

What does your wallet think about you watching these kind of videos?


It’s unlikely that we can ever keep up with the awesomeness and the creativity that is the Custom Amiibo scene. They’re just too good! This is our third video showcasing the amazing talents of these amiibo artists, but it probably won’t be the last. A quick look around Google Images, Instagram, Twitter, or Pinterest reveals that this is where the action is at. As many official amiibo as Nintendo are pumping out, the official ones just won’t compare to the works of art that people make when they take matters into their own hands!

Best 2017 Indie Games to Watch For!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

If you’re reading this, and you’re an indie developer, get in touch with us on the Contact page. <3


We love independent video game developers (affectionately referred to as “Nindies”). Why? Because they’re the underdogs – the small studios that are going toe-to-toe with giant corporate competitors. And oftentimes, they’re the ones that innovate and bring us the most interesting experiences, the ones that deserve further pondering and reflection after their completion. And so, going into a new console generation on the Nintendo Switch without stopping to examine the indie offerings would be a big mistake! These are the games to watch for in the coming months – don’t miss them!

Fire Emblem Heroes Impressions & Gameplay

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Fire Emblem – gotta catch ’em all! With… your magical bow… that summons heroes from out of space and time…?


Fire Emblem has landed on mobile phones! Doesn’t this seem like such a short time after Super Mario Run? We’re already heading back to the App Store for another Nintendo game. But this time it’s not just for a single transaction, no, Nintendo wants you to bolster your team of Heroes by buying orbs. Can the game be played without spending money, or are you in for a world of hurt against the higher level enemies? Is the game enjoyable with its smaller maps and accessible storyline? Ryan and Scott are here today to talk all about it!

Ultimate Super Mario Run Challenge

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Scott is now taking eSports sponsorship requests… Anyone?


There are three levels in Super Mario Run that can only be unlocked by collecting each and every secret coin of a certain color. These are the three warp pipe levels of yore, and today, Scott will attempt to beat them. Luigi is his character of choice for his high jumps, and each hidden coin must be retrieved before he is allowed to progress to the next secret level. This is the height of challenge in Nintendo’s newest mobile game, so wish him luck and lend him your strength as he attempts the Ultimate Super Mario Run Challenge.

Hidden Meanings in Nintendo Names

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Good luck never thinking of Mexi-tots whenever you hear about the three legendary bird Pokemon.


Sneaky, tricksy Nintendo and their sneaky, tricksy localization Treehouse. We’ve identified a number of meanings that were hidden inside seemingly innocent names… names of Pokemon, names of Nintendo games, and more. Some of these you may have heard before, but we guarantee your mind will be blown at least once during the course of this video!

What Genres are Nintendo Horrible At?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Trying to make our episode titles a little more SENSATIONAL!


We all know Nintendo loves their platformers – that’s the genre that they specialize in. But when they are the company that’s responsible for servicing fans of all kind that use their hardware (because third parties aren’t historically the most supportive), there are some genres that receive the cold shoulder. That neglect is either due to games with poor or questionable execution, or just no games to speak of at all. Have you ever thought about which types of games Nintendo is strong or weak in? Let us run you through a list of all the major genres.

Stolen TBC Episodes

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We demand compensation! Or at least a little bit of credit.


You know when you work really hard on something, and then other people steal your ideas and your work? That’s how we feel right now! There are a few channels on YouTube that are uploading videos suspiciously close to ones that we’ve made (and within a suspiciously close time-frame, as well)… If we’ve ever made a video that looks like someone else’s, we promise we would never take your idea – or at the VERY least we would give you credit and drop a link to the original! Can the same courtesy be extended to us?

Why is Switch’s Voice Chat Through A Phone App?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Voice chat – real, true, genuine, actual voice chat on a Nintendo system. Someone pinch me.


The Nintendo Switch is taking a little bit different of an approach when it comes to online voice communications… all of that data is going to be funneled through a new mobile app the Nintendo is publishing later in 2017. This is a strange choice, and isn’t something we’ve seen before in the gaming industry. Will it end up being a positive or a negative for those who pick up the new console/portable hybrid? Ryan is here with a Crew Cut to examine all aspects of the issue!

Beat it Blind: Dr. Mario (NES Classic)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We’re gonna be so pro by the end of the series! eSports, come at us, bro!


Dr. Mario history runs deep in Scott’s family. Almost enough to where he could beat levels with his eyes closed by himself – but not quite! He needs a little bit of Simeon’s help, and vice versa! Today the daring duo takes on an incredible challenge, to clear away viruses without the use of their eyes and only the guiding voice of their companion to help. Timing is very important in this puzzle game, and colors MUST be matched if success is to be attained. Lend the Crew your power as you watch – and enjoy!

Hilarious Wii Slang

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Wii would like to slang.


You thought Wii-related jokes had run their course? Not even close. A decade later, Simeon and Scott are revisiting the issue with an enhanced vocabulary of Wii puns and slang that you’ve never even imagined. The Nintendo Wii seemed like it was getting a big downgrade when it received its official name. The codename, Revolution, seemed much more fitting. But if Wii is responsible for allowing us these kinds of puns, we daresay that it was all worth it.

What’s At the Nintendo NY Store?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Tickets to NY, please? This is somewhere we can conceivably hit up before our flight to Japan for Super Nintendo World…


It sounds like a dream: an entire multi-level store dedicated to our favorite brand, Nintendo. But it’s not a dream – it used to be the Pokemon Center, then it was Nintendo World, and now it’s Nintendo NY. And in case you were wondering, it’s based in New York. This magical retailer is run by Nintendo staff, and is decorated to the nines in Nintendo themed goodness! Baby teethers? Check. Games playable before they are released? Check. Guest appearances from famous Nintendo staff? Check. We need to visit this place.

Smash Through History: 64 – Wii U

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

It would have made FAR too much sense to play the games in chronological order! Nah!


Today is Scott’s 23rd Birthday, and to celebrate, Simeon is giving him the chance to display his skills in all 5 official Super Smash Bros. games. 64, Melee, Brawl, 3DS, and Wii U are all included in this challenge, and the player that wins the majority of rounds is declared the Ultimate Super Smash Bro. Simeon wouldn’t dare humiliate Scott on his Birthday, now would he?
