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!

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!

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…

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

And now, more information than you ever wanted to know about the programmer’s offices!


Nintendo may be a hardware producer and a software publisher, but they ALSO develop a plethora of different games amidst their different teams. In this video, we’re taking a look at the different physical offices that Nintendo’s development teams are housed in, which games each group are responsible for, as well as judge if they’re currently on a roll or otherwise haven’t had a hit in a while.

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.

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!

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!

Debate: Smash Bros. DLC Characters

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We are both pretty passionate fans of the Super Smash Bros. series. Sometimes it feels like a love/hate relationship, but we just care so much about the game and the decisions that the developers make! More importantly, the advent of DLC in Smash Bros. opens up endless fun to be had theorizing over additions and debating for characters to be grafted into the roster.

What character would you like added?

Video games have had such weird names that pretty much anything can pass as a game title. We really enjoyed this game, researching the craziest game names as well as making things up for the deepest depths of our creativity. Enjoy!

Did these crazy-named video games actually come out on a Nintendo platform, or are they completely made up? Simeon and Scott face off in an epic competition of video game knowledge and trickery.

Nintendo vs. Voice Chat

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Nintendo struggles to perform the balancing act of protecting their young fans as well as meet the expectations of adult fans. Voice chat is one of those areas that Nintendo fans may have felt slighted, considering the robust communication offerings on other consoles. In this episode, we took an honest look at the situation and the implications of Nintendo’s recent decisions regarding voice chat. It’s a more serious episode and it was cool to see that the TBC show can be lighthearted and fun as well as contemplative and heavy when appropriate.

The battle between Nintendo and online voice communication rages on. Nintendo has dipped their toes in the water with recent Wii U releases, but completely excluded voice chat in others. What’s really going on with this situation? What do gamers want to see happen?

Debate: Should Custom Smash Bros. Moves be Legal?

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We have the privelege of being a part of a great, thriving Smash Bros. community in our area, so we took our experiences with the competitive scene and weighed in on the Custom Moves debate. Either way things go, we’re big Smash Bros. fans and will continue to enjoy fighting for Glory in Smash Bros!

There are hundreds of custom special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Should they be legal in tournament settings? Simeon and Scott speak from their own experience and present differing opinions from the Smash Bros. community.
