You’re NintenDoing It Wrong

Posted on by

We take OBJECTION to these gamers!


#570 – Points for trying. That’s the only thing we are authorized to award in this episode because we’re featuring some spectacular fails! Epic fails, some might even say. These Nintendo fans either weren’t fans at all, or they were having VERY off days. Get a kick out of this compilation, or at least feel better that YOUR picture isn’t being circulated like this on the Internet.

What Nintendo Has Taught Us

Posted on by

Also we’ve learned to dislike money!


#599 – Nintendo has been around our whole lives, and when we take the time to stop and reflect on it, it turns out: we’ve learned quite a lot from the quirky Japanese game publisher. We knew Nintendo was fun and creative, but also a source of life lessons? Why not! Simeon and Scott have a list, as well as some great additions from Two Button Crew patrons. Thanks, Crew!

Browsing Nintendo’s Website History

Posted on by

We have stepped into the time machine. We brought you a souvenir from the past!


#542 – Something Nintendo dedicates a lot of time, money, and effort to, but most fans don’t pay attention to: their website. Yes, they’ve been updating their home on the web for many years, and it’s seen a ton of different iterations. Those iterations? We’ve found the most interesting ones and put them into this video for you!

Mario + Minions: IP Battle


#585 – Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle hits store shelves (and eShop) today! To celebrate this monumental partnership with Nintendo, we’re looking back on where the Rabbids came from. Their humble origins started with an Ubisoft launch game on Wii, and they’ve skyrocketed to success ever since. Come for a trip down memory lane with us!

Beat it Blind: Super Mario Bros. (SNES)

Posted on by

We went for twice as long, but got no further. It’s tough to give no for an answer.


Can the Crew meld their teamwork power together in order to pass World 1-1 of the original Super Mario Bros? Watch and see!

The 2018 Super Mario Cereal OLYMPICS!

Posted on by


We drove 6 hours and got 2 boxes of Super Mario Cereal, so what did we decide to do? A boring taste-test? No! We went full on “Olympics” with this new crunchy, marshmallowy goodness. Watch as Simeon and Scott compete in 5 different feats of strength, agility, accuracy, and endurance to win the gold medal.

Nintendo Board Games

Posted on by

UNO!


#573 – Every once in a while, we need to step away from our entertainment sets and our handhelds. If only to prevent carpal tunnel, a healthy round of board games every so often goes a long way for the average Nintendo fan! But what if gaming and board gaming could unite in a glorious happy medium? NOW we’re talking.

This is What a GOOD Mario RPG Looks Like

Posted on by


Super Mario RPG is one of Simeon’s favorite games! Modern-day Mario RPGs have since lost their way, but it’s always a good time when you throw it back to this Nintendo/Square partnership. Simeon will even show us a few impressive secrets along the way!

Switch – Top 5 Pros & Cons

Posted on by

And the top con is… JOY!


With a handful of weeks under our belt, we’re growing accustomed to playing the new Nintendo Switch! Nintendo made some bold promises with their first console/portable hybrid machine, but they’ve also managed to deliver in many ways! There are some concerns shared among players, and these are things that hopefully Nintendo can continue to address. For anyone deciding whether or not to purchase Switch, this is a great video for you to watch in order to get a feel on what’s positive about the system and what’s on the negative side of the experience. For those that already own the new system, see if you agree with our takeaways!

Zelda: BotW Challenge – Infiltrating Ganon’s Castle

Posted on by

Can you imagine what we’d do if we just beat the game while making this episode… accidentally?!


Can we make it into Ganon’s castle, with only early-game items and armor?! Ryan, Simeon, and Scott take turns with the pair of Joy-Con to see what they can do against the Malice and Guardians. Spoiler disclaimer: We approach the endgame, but do NOT meet the final boss.

Mario Kart Woes & Zelda Whoas

Posted on by

We’ve got better games to play than Mario Kart! Close your eyes and pick something off the eShop.


#510 – Zelda Breath of the Wild is a tough act to follow, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe certainly falls short in that regard. The racing game has its charm and its place in the Switch owners’ collection, but it also has some major design problems that frustrate the player, and makes them want to go back to Zelda!

Our viewers couldn’t get enough of Sonic Mania! Simeon and Scott pick up where Scott and his Dad left off last week. Simeon is an old-school Sonic semi-pro, and this game is bringing back the feels!

Metroid Prime: Federation Force Review

Posted on by

Sometimes, Nintendo gives us something good disguised as something we don’t want.


The newest entry in the Metroid Prime series has just been released, and the Nintendo fanbase has been in an outcry over it. Is this game worth a shot? Is it worth your time? Watch for all the details on Scott’s experience with the game.

Hidden Meanings in Nintendo Names

Posted on by

Good luck never thinking of Mexi-tots whenever you hear about the three legendary bird Pokemon.


Sneaky, tricksy Nintendo and their sneaky, tricksy localization Treehouse. We’ve identified a number of meanings that were hidden inside seemingly innocent names… names of Pokemon, names of Nintendo games, and more. Some of these you may have heard before, but we guarantee your mind will be blown at least once during the course of this video!

January Nintendo Direct?!?!?!

Posted on by


It really happened! What started as a rumor, and turned it to a leak, finally materialized as a bona fide mini-presentation from Nintendo themselves, outlining what kind of games we can expect to be playing between now and E3. It wasn’t half-bad!

Desert Island with One Video Game | NF + TBC

Posted on by

Thank goodness for unlimited electricity on desert islands.


We’ve all been asked some form of this question before: If you were stranded on a desert island, what would you take with you? This time, your only choices are video games, and you have unlimited power supply but no WiFi. Yes, the choice is tough. But Simeon and Scott thought this through and have come up with some of the strongest candidates. What game would you take? Comment below!
