Apps that Switch Needs Now!

Posted on by

OH MAN, we forgot to say Miitomo!


#590 – Nintendo has been sliding by unchallenged in a few areas with their new Switch console. Why? I think we give them a pass because the system is fun to play and the games are so stellar. But there are some things they definitely need to answer for, such as Virtual Console, voice chat, friends codes, and today’s topic: apps. Where’s our Netflix? Twitch? Come on! It’s an HD portable screen, let’s make use of it for goodness sake.

SEGA

Posted on by

SAAAAY GUUUUH!


#562 – It’s really happening. Dark Simeon makes his return to the Two Button Crew channel and he’s derailing it with non-Nintendo talk! Today we’re discussing all things SEGA, from their confusing console lineup to the mistakes that threatened to put them out of business. Please like this video for the guy-liner that was used for your enjoyment.

D-Pad: 4 Directions of Patented Genius

Posted on by

Remember kids, Up, Down, Left, Left.


#577 – The Directional Pad is something that many gamers take for granted, but it really was a novel invention at the time that Nintendo introduced it. While it’s been largely taken out of the spotlight by analog sticks, the digital input solution still has its own merits. We’re going to discuss its inception, the Nintendo patent, and what their competitors did in response. It’s another interesting history lesson brought to you by Two Button Crew!

What’s Gotta Happen with Mario Party?

Posted on by

Maybe Mario party 15 will finally be good at this pace!


#591 – Mario Party is a floundering series. Numerous sequels hit store shelves in regular intervals, and Nintendo has been experimenting lately with its formula, hoping that the next game would be the one to solve the series’ declining popularity. Unfortunately, Nintendo has yet to strike gold since basically Mario Party 3 on the Nintendo 64. Simeon and Scott are here to diagnose the problems and figure out what Mario needs to do in order to get back to partying in earnest!

Should Games Have Unlockable Content?

Posted on by

Pre-high-speed internet culture may be foreign to you, and we may be nostalgic, but we’d never go back.


#520 – Unlocking stuff used to be the highlight of the gaming experience. It was like finding a buried treasure with each new character or stage discovered. Nowadays, especially with party games, the hunt is less and less exciting. Should Nintendo keep this pattern?

The Puppet Show Episode

Posted on by

It hurts to be a puppet. An ADULT puppet? Downright painful.


#547 – Fun fact: The first video Simeon and Scott made together (about 15 years ago) was a puppet show. Well, they’re getting the band back together, pulling socks over their hands, and crouching underneath a tiny table. For your enjoyment. You’re welcome!

Nintendo Pronunciations… Wrong All Along?

Posted on by

Did we cross any lines in this episode? Barely not? Okay!


#563 – This video is a little hard to explain… let me try: You’ve been pronouncing everything Nintendo related WRONG. For a long long time. I’m sorry, but you’ve been horribly misled all these years. Your heroes, Simeon and Scott, have gone on a journey to discover the true pronunciations of all things Nintendo and this video contains their findings. Watch, listen, and learn… but most of all, repeat.

Predicting The Final 3DS Games (Before it Dies)

Posted on by

But what we really want is Face Raiders 2, of course.


#592 – 2011 is the year Nintendo 3DS launched, followed quickly by Wii U. Nintendo’s home console floundered and died while their revolutionary portable thrived, building up an amazing catalog of games and huge install base worldwide. Finally, in 2017, it appears that the system is winding down and coming in for a landing. As such, we started to think about what its final games would be, and we’ve made this list for your viewing pleasure!

Beat It Blind: Snipperclips!

Posted on by

If we can accomplish this feat blindfolded, I think that means we’re a CUT above the rest. GET IT?!


Snipperclips is a fairly challenging game! This second-party title, uniquely created for the Switch console, is perfect for two players, but the difficulty does ramp up after only a handful of levels. So we thought… why not make this incredibly more challenging by having a blindfold on one of the players at all times?! I MEAN WHY NOT?!

Posted on by

Do I look serious?


#548 – Can Simeon and Scott be serious if they try to? Yes. Wait-no, they can’t. The answer is no.

Smash Bros. Debate: Casual Vs. Competitive

Posted on by

There’s really only one way to determine the winner of this episode… SETTLE IT IN SMASH!


#564 – Crew member Glen makes his Two Button Crew Show debut! You’ve seen him in the comments, you’ve read his blogs, but today here’s here to make a case for casual Super Smash Bros. He’s got an uphill battle to fight in this debate as both Simeon and Scott are seasoned competitive players, and you know what that means… no items, no wonky stages, nothing like that. But Glen says that that goes against the spirit of the game. What do you think? Stick around for the argument and vote in the poll that will pop up at the end.

#579 – Nintendo World Championships are returning – completely out of nowhere! Not during E3, not for the launch of a game (that we know of), just randomly. And the qualifiers begin soon! Simeon is here with his new dog Buttercup to discuss the event’s return and its odd choice of preliminary game, Mario Kart 7. What do you think – are you excited to watch the event? Let us know!

Linkle & The Question of Female Link

Posted on by

Linkle? Female LINK?! FEMALE ZELDA?!?! Wait…


#550 – Out of nowhere, Linkle appeared and paved the way for a female Link. Simeon and Scott sit down today to discuss the issue of Link and gender. Will Linkle ever star in her own game? Should the Hero of Hyrule reincarnate as a woman in a future game? WHY NOT?

Metroid: Samus Returns Gameplay + Impressions (PAX 2017)

Posted on by

We got a lengthy hands-on with Samus, but you only have to wait a few days to take a copy home yourself!


#594 – Metroid: Samus Returns is almost upon us! Before you take the game home on Friday, take a look at our footage. Don’t worry – we adjust the camera a few times so you can get a closer look. It actually plays really well, and looks so much better in person. The 3D is great, each area is like a little window into the alien planet. And the animation is top-notch. See for yourself!
