What do we Still Not Know about Switch?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We won’t be satisfied until we know about every screw and strip of adhesive in the console! Oh, and, details on digital purchases carrying over would be awesome too.


We Nintendo fans have been described by Reggie as “insatiable” before, and that title still holds true for us today. Less than a week ago, Nintendo spent an entire weekend informing us about their new Switch console and giving press members hands-on time with the system, yet we STILL want to know more. There are still some burning questions that we must have answered before the home/portable hybrid releases on March 3rd!

You’ll see what we mean!

Top 10 Switch Bombshell Announcements

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

If we can live through ten bombshells like these ones, we can face just about anything.


For a full hour last week, Nintendo streamed live from the stage in Kyoto and presented us with announcement after announcement regarding their new home console, Nintendo Switch. We learned the console’s price, release date, online capabilities, Joy-Con technology, and much, much more. But which of these huge pieces of news do we regard as the most important? And which announcements are we remembering fondly, rather than with a sour taste? Watch this video for a complete rundown on the ten most important moments of the January Switch Presentation!

What’s up with Super Nintendo World?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Free tickets to Japan, Super Nintendo World, and the Tokyo Olympics please. Thanks, Nintendo!


After a great period of silence, Nintendo is finally lifting the curtain a little bit on their theme park! It’s Super Nintendo World, coming to Universal Studios Japan in 2020, just in time for the Tokyo Olympics. These parks will feature Nintendo’s most famous mascots with rides, merchandise, restaurants, and “interactive attractions” featuring the likes of Mario and Zelda! We discuss the latest news, most recent piece of concept art, and the patience needed when dealing with theme parks.

Should Sakurai Quit Smash Bros?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

You know you’re messed up when you gotta use a third party controller. :(


We love Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros. There’s no question about that. But we do have some real concerns about him that range from the health of his body to the way he manages his employees. It might actually be the case that developing Smash Bros. games isn’t the best thing for him, or for his company! We are going to examine the issue from each angle and do our best to come to an objective conclusion: Should Sakurai quit?

Games that Would Be Perfect for Switch!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Isn’t it great to see an episode fully hosted by members of the greater Crew body? That intro sure seems out of place though…


The January Switch Presentation is right around the corner, in which Nintendo will fully unveil their new home/portable console hybrid. A huge portion of this presentation is going to be fully dedicated to the games that surround the console’s launch window, because we gamers have to know what software is going to support this new hardware! After all, we only know of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, an unnamed Mario adventure, and a few third-party titles that belong to publishers who have been sworn to secrecy. It’s time to take a close look at what games belong on the Switch as a perfect fit – games that will take advantage of this console’s unique abilities!

There’s Two Wires!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This is probably the absolute peak of gaming fun. That’s it – we’ve reached the pinnacle. It’s all down-hill from here.


We don’t have a good explanation for this episode – we really don’t. Let’s just say that a little gem from Simeon and Scott’s past has popped up again, so they’re revisiting a pair of games that brought them a great deal of joy one decade ago. Watch them fumble through the flash games “Double Wire” and “There’s Two Wires” and then try for yourself!

Zelda: Skyward Sword Review (Wii)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

“Yeah, I think it would be great if we totally forgot about the pointer on the Wii Remote and arbitrarily used motion controls…! Dahur!” – Skyward Sword Developers


After battling the game for around a year, Simeon finally declared defeat over the evil Demise and saved Hyrule. It wasn’t a quick trip through this Wii classic, but Simeon was noting his experience along the way and he has returned from the journey to tell us all about it. With the game being recently released for download on Wii U’s eShop, this is a great opportunity to see if a revisit to this game is worth it for you!

What We Want: Smash Tournament Edition

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We’d really appreciate it if there were some new default settings… LIKE STOCK MATCHES! GAAAAAAHHHHHH!


We enter a lot of Super Smash Bros. tournaments, and take it from us: the setup is an absolute pain. Oh, we gamers adapt. We make it work. But Nintendo could sure make things easier on their most hardcore fans by throwing us a bone in the form of a tournament special edition of their most competitive franchise: Super Smash Bros. And think about it – this is the perfect time for just such a revision to come into being; as Nintendo is theoretically ramping up their 2014 version for a Switch re-release.

Why Nintendo Games Retain Value

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

$50 for Metroid: Other M. Today. You read that right!


Have you ever noticed that the price for Nintendo games just DON’T ever drop? They sit on store shelves for years and cost the same amount that they did at launch time. It’s kind of crazy, especially when compared to the rest of the industry. Nintendo also just released their first Mario game on mobile, and it costs a whopping $10 – incredibly high compared to most of the bargain offerings on that platform. How is it that Nintendo is able to stand apart from the competition and charge more?

2016 Game of the Year Awards (Satire)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Can we please just have the Nintendo Switch and move on? D:


Oh 2016, we will miss you… somewhat. It sure wasn’t the best year for Nintendo fans, but maybe it wasn’t the worst, either. (?) We just couldn’t quite take the year seriously enough to try and hand out awards for certain categories like we did in the past, so this year we are taking a completely sarcastic approach. None of these categories that get awards mean anything, but they did get a kick out of us.

Miyamoto’s High and Low Points

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

For every time he raised the Master Sword skyward, he is also waved an imaginary flute around by the end of a Wii Remote…


Shigeru Miyamoto is a wonderful man to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude. However, in his many years as part of the game industry, he has had plenty of time to make a few missteps. And they were MAJOR. Miyamoto is someone who should be celebrated but not worshiped as perfect. Oh no – this is one developer who has seen the gamut of success and failure! Join Simeon and Scott as they explore the Japanese developer and creator of Mario’s history, highlighting the lows and the highs.

What are Second Party Developers?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Ironically, some of the best Nintendo games were made by outside developers.


First party, that’s Nintendo. Third party, that’s everyone else – right? WRONG. There’s an inbetween status that developers can achieve by meeting certain requirements and penning certain deals with the hardware publisher. Tune in as Scott and Simeon investigate the topic, as well as discuss each and every major 2nd party that Nintendo has enlisted.

VR with Switch & Head-Mount?!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This is probably the most exciting patent filing since the Switch started leaking!


What if Virtual Reality access was a mere plastic-headset away for Nintendo Switch owners? That dream could become a reality thanks to Nintendo’s latest patent filing. The mechanism described simply requires a Switch console to be inserted into a VR headset in order to immerse the gamer into a virtual world. Will the Switch’s specs be up to snuff for VR? Watch Scott and Simeon examine the patent and discuss the possibilities.

Best Nintendo Christmas Present Reactions

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Fun exercise for the day: Decide which children depicted in the videos you would adopt into your family.


Ah, Christmas. The most wonderful time of the year. We’re just a few days away from Nintendo fans all over the globe, tearing into neatly wrapped packages of NES Classic Editions, amiibo, and 3DS consoles. Before that time we’d like to take a few moments and reflect on the past, when some of the most excitable kids in existence received their own Nintendo gifts that left an unforgettable mark on history. We have these children to thank for entertaining us with their over-the-top displays of joy and gratitude. Let’s get in the Christmas spirit and eagerly anticipate the joy that Nintendo gifts bring!

The Canceled Zelda Sequel: Wind Waker 2

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Sometimes we just need to zip our lips and happily accept what Nintendo thinks is best for us!


Zelda fans, we blew it. After Nintendo released the original Wind Waker game for GameCube, the backlash about the artistic direction was so great that Nintendo not only changed the aesthetics for the next Zelda title, but completely scrapped a concept they were proud of. What we would have gotten instead of Twilight Princess would have been the sequel to Wind Waker. And that sounds pretty nice right about now, doesn’t it? Watch the video for the full scoop on why Nintendo shelved the idea and went in the complete opposite direction.
