Wii U Masterpiece: Affordable Space Adventures

You DON’T own this game?! Are you even human???


Of course, it’s spring 2017 and the hype is centered in on Nintendo Switch… but there’s an indie Wii U game that we just couldn’t help but tell you guys all about. It’s called Affordable Space Adventure, and it DESERVES you to play it! We can’t speak highly enough of it, so we’ve bestowed upon it the rare designation of “masterpiece” and this video practically begs you to give it a download! Footage Credit to DreamcastGuy!

The Ultimate Nintendo Theme Park

A Nintendo theme park has been one of our dreams for a LONG time! It’s really going to be quite the magical place. Nintendo’s characters and worlds are going to come to life in ways that they never have before. It’s so good to see the company stepping out in brand new ways.

Nintendo and Universal are teaming up to bring Nintendo-themed rides to Universal theme parks! The possibilities are wide open, so join in the fun as we theorize what a Nintendo theme park could be!

Super Mario Maker Impressions

This is it… the 2D Mario game to end all 2D Mario games. Nintendo is opening the creative floodgates wide open with this one.

The Super Mario Maker levels shown at E3 just scratch the surface of what the creative minds of Nintendo fans will produce with this robust tool kit. The possibilities are endless. Let’s see what you got, Nintendo fans!

Why We’ll Miss Wii U

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…

Making Friiks in the New Switch Mii Maker

Rectangular heads, PLEASE!


This video is brought to you by our Patrons, who challenged us to create some incredible ugly Miis on the Nintendo Switch! There are a few new tools built into this version of Nintendo’s Mii Maker, so we’re putting them through their paces and seeing what kind of monstrosities we can produce. Sound like fun? Good, because it’s Fun Friday!

Debate: Smash Bros. DLC Characters

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?

Top 9 Things we Want in Zelda Wii U

Zelda is probably Nintendo’s most formulaic franchise. It’s a good formula, but I think it is no surprise that our wish list calls for a lot of deviations for the series!

Nintendo chose not to show Zelda for Wii U at E3 this year, because it is still well inside the development process. That means we’ve got plenty of time to get our opinions out there and make sure our wish lists are all filled out to give Nintendo some material to go off of! You can do the same in the comments of this video.

Speech Jammer Challenge

The bonus materials for Patrons from this episode turned out as pure gold!


Speech jammers are devious contraptions that capture your audio and repeat them back to you via headphones, with a catch… a big delay that makes it very difficult to focus on what is coming out of your mouth. What then, will the results be when Simeon and Scott attempt to read humorous Nintendo-related snippets while hooked up to such an apparatus? Good news; you won’t have to look further than this episode for the answer to that question!

Runner3 (Switch Bit.Trip Exclusive) Preview

Can’t wait to play as the running cigarette!


Runner3 is an amazing indie title coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch, courtesy of Choice Provisions. You may also be familiar with this series and studio as Bit.Trip Runner from Gaijin Games, but things have evolved since then and this new entry in the auto-runner series is no exception. The main character, Commander Video, helped establish the genre of auto-running video games, and he’s back this year to redefine it with all new twists. Watch what Simeon and Scott have to say about it, and get hyped!

The Game Name Game Show

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.

Best Nintendo Sidekicks of All Time

TBC needs an offical… sidekick… YouTube channel! Now accepting applications.


Every superhero has a sidekick, and Nintendo’s stable of heroes are no different! But the characters that we find in Mario’s and Link’s shadows are not to be overlooked, because sometimes those characters are the ones that leave the biggest impression. That’s right – today’s all about the hero-helpers that made our gaming experiences amazing!

Nintendo E3 Prediction Bingo (2015)

E3 is such an exciting time that, as a gamer, you just can’t help but speculate about everyhting that will go down. Well, we didn’t just want to make a list of predictions – we made a Bingo card. And we are going to get that Bingo, darn it.

Nintendo’s 2015 E3 presentation is right around the corner. They will be streaming a load of announcements on Tuesday, June 16th, and we are here to predict exactly what will be announced and discussed during their E3 direct! What do you think – are we spot on? What did we miss?

Setting a World Record – Mega Man VI

It was a blast setting this world record in 2009, and it’s still a ton of fun to look back on those crazy days!

Simeon is a Mega Man VI World Record holder, so we go take a good look at the entire experience!

Fire Emblem Heroes Impressions & Gameplay

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!

Hacking the Mini NES Classic Edition

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!

What’s Going On with the Metroid Series?

Now excuse us as we cry ourselves to sleep.


We are Metroid fans through and through. What that means is this: if you are also a Samus enthusiast, we feel your pain. Metroid fans typically get the short end of the stick, and we feel overlooked when Nintendo services many of their other IPs but leaves the Metroid fanbases with leftovers. We want more Metroid, and we want work from Nintendo’s A Team! We at Two Button Crew don’t feel like that’s too much to ask, so today we’re looking at where in the world (or galaxy?) the Metroid series has disappeared to.

E3 2017: What Nintendo Needs to Do

Anyone at Nintendo looking to hire a couple of professional E3 consultants?


E3 (AKA Gamer Christmas) is coming around the corner once again, and this year will mark the first time Switch content has been shown at the convention. Will Nintendo take this opportunity to get everyone on board the hype train, or will they play it too conservative? Scott and Simeon are presenting their wishlist, and if Nintendo were to follow it, their fans would be pretty happy.
