And thus, Scott was the most humble Smasher in all of history.
#511 – With a big Smash 4 tournament coming up, Scott gets some confessions off his chest… like how good he is at the game!

It’s time that the entire gaming industry started paying attention to what we want!
#501 – Compilations, or “sets” of games on a single disc or cartridge, are things that we don’t often think about. They’re great when they come out, but gamers will often pine for sequels or remakes before asking for a solid compilation. Today’s Two Button Crew episode is all about dream-compilations that Nintendo should make!

Went back home to get schooled!
#512 – After such a bragging episode that came yesterday, it’s time for Scott to get his humble pie and get owned by his gamer parents! Dr. Mario is right up their alley; experienced virus-busters that they are.

Please forgive us for our ignorance.
#502 – Sure, we might LOOK like pros, but we were once a couple of newbs just like the general populous. We did things back in the day that make our more mature-gamer-selves cringe. But at least we’re man enough to admit those past shortcomings! Have you ever been a newb? Sure you were. Hopefully, you can relate to some of the funny stories we share in today’s episode of the Two Button Crew show!

Scott’s just dying to prove Simeon wrong on this one.
#513 – Don’t count ARMS out yet. A lot of thoughtful development is going into making this zany fighter a mainstay on Switch. With plenty of characters, modes, and customizations to choose from, the potential for competitive depth is bottomless.

The resolution’s not bad – your eyes are just not working properly today!
#503 – Simeon and Scott used to play Pokemon cards before they played much video games. Those were the… old days! And today we’re going to relive some of that fun, while Simeon uses a legacy Pokemon card deck and Scott challenges him with a brand new set of cards. Watch as they attach energy, play trainers, evolve, and kill each other by flipping coins.

As you can see, our childhoods were clearly very entertaining.
Sometimes, plain old Rock Paper Scissors gets really boring. That’s when you have to invent your own version! And with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe releasing in North America yesterday, what better way to play RPS than with Mario Kart items? Indeed, the weapons in the Mario Kart series are balanced not unlike rock, paper, or scissors, where some are more effective against others, and can be countered by others still. Join Simeon and Scott as they do what they do best – goof off!

They would probably say the whole cheesy “5 to 105” line…
#515 – Who does Nintendo have in mind when they are developing their newest games? Is it people like you? Much younger? Older players? That’s the question that Simeon and Scott are examining in today’s episode of Two Button Crew!

The coolest arcade stick is the arcade stick that you have with you.

I’m still trying to figure out how we skipped from Super Mario 3 to Super Mario 64…
#517 – Super Mario 64 is a landmark game – a revolution in our industry. And recently, we had a young viewer named Rachel who watches our channel faithfully who asked us to “focus on some Mario games that people don’t talk about anymore, like SM64 and SM64 DS.” So that’s exactly what we’re going to do today! Watched some footage as we discuss this incredible step forward in 3D gaming, and see if you don’t have the urge to go and pick up your old three-pronged controller!

Now all we need are their social security numbers!
#518 – Forgive us for being just slightly on the “creepy” side today as we stalk some well-known Nintendo employees and associated on Instagram! We get to learn a little bit more about Bill Trinen, Charles Martinet, and “Karen”, and perhaps even observe some of their habits and behaviors! Delightful!

You can count on us to make the best worst videos!
#504 – You know us: Two Button Crew, a couple of smiley, upbeat Nintendo fans. But every once in a while, we have to take a trip to the dark side and examine the negatives of Nintendo fandom. Today, in honor of Simeon’s Birthday(?), he and Scott are engaging in quite the challenge: to identify the worst games on each of a handful of Nintendo consoles.

Will ARMS have legs?
#505 – It’s the burning question on Nintendo fans’ minds as we approach E3 2017 – is the next first-party offering going to have enough depth to sink my teeth into? Is it worth the $60 price tag? In this show, Simeon and Scott examining the evidence to support both sides of the argument.
