Best of: Realistic Pokemon

Realistic Pokemon IRL video, anyone?


Oh, Fan Art. You never really disappoint, do you? There’s always something awesome, detailed, thoughtful, and mildly creepy. In this installment of the TBC show, we’re going to be taking a look at the very best Realistic Pokemon renditions, from artists that have taken the cute, adorable, and lovable anime-styled Pocket Monsters and converted them into truly horrifying, believable beasts that could be seen in the real world. Grab your favorite pillow and hold it tight for comfort, and when you’re ready, proceed…

TBC vs. CND | TBC on Location

Let the record show! ;)


#555 – Subscribe to CND: https://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainNintendoDude – what a cool guy! We got to meet CND at the Chicago Summer of Play event that Nintendo put on, and it wasn’t long before tempers flared and skills had to be proven. “Settle it in ARMS” as they say!

Note: You can’t capture gameplay in handheld mode, so placeholder footage was provided by: Swillo & BimmyQuestion | WhiteHawke

Mario Kart Tour – Coming to Mobile!


One of Nintendo’s biggest—and we mean BIGGEST—franchises is coming to an iPhone or Android near you. This is only one of many news stories that Simeon and Scott are here to discuss today, because the world of Nintendo news never seems to slow down. We talk Metroid Prime 4, SteamWorld series, and much, much more.

Luigi’s Balloon World – Lost Kingdom Hunting


Luigi’s Balloon World is here, and it’s Nintendo’s gift to YouTubers! It was seriously a ton of fun to have viewers submit codes so we could try and hunt down your balloons! Some Crew members had extremely clever hiding spots. We’ll have to do this again sometime soon!

Playing Smash Bros… with NO THUMBS


We thought it would be a great idea (or at the very least… entertaining) to attempt a few Smash Bros. matches without using our thumbs. When we streamed this live, our viewers in the chat said they had a hard time distinguishing our playstyle from a normal match! I’d say we adapted pretty well! And for comparison, we show you a couple rounds with all our digits legalized.

March Direct Impressions. Also, SMASH!!!!!!


The March Nintendo Direct dropped on us like a bomb and we’re pretty stoked about it! In fact, Simeon even made the statement “after the Switch, video games can just stop.” He might be on to something! Smash 5 could literally be the best game ever made. –

In the Ring with Super Punch-Out!!


Little Mac is one of the littler big stars of Nintendo’s original IP. You don’t hear people begging for new entries in the series often, but fans of the Punch-Out games often speak highly of the few outings he’s had. We’re turning on the SNES Classic Edition to give this game a spin, and see how far we can get in single player mode before being knocked out cold.

Nintendo’s 10 Worst Games Ever Made


You can’t win ’em all. Even the esteemed House of Mario produces some games that end up at the bottom of the barrel. We’re using Metacritic to take a look at Nintendo’s bottom 10 of all time!

The Nintendo Experience

Would you read straight through a book named “1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die”?

The Crew Cuts continue as Simeon gives you a look into his home gaming setup and begins discussing what he calls the “Nintendo Experience” with Nintendo Land!

Xeodrifter: Launching into Space


The talented creators at Atooi have brought one of their finest titles to Switch: Xeodrifter, a bite-sized love letter to the Metroidvania genre. This little indie gem is ready to blow your socks off as you traverse the alien landscape, blast baddies, and power up to take on big bosses. We hope to give you a taste of what this title is like, and we definitely recommend you give it a look in the eShop!

Episode #666 – Devil World (NES)


How could we not make a video about Devil World for our 666th episode? We practically had no choice. There was no better time to take a look back at one of Miyamoto’s first creations for the Famicom. This Pac-Man clone had some features that stood out and made it quite unique. Too unique to be brought to North America, in some ways!

Racing to the Finish in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe


You’ve seen us play Battle Mode against each other, but you haven’t witnessed a good old race to the death! Simeon and Scott are taking to the racetrack and trying to prove who’s the boss, and who is who’s father.

Nintendo Quietly Updating Mario Odyssey?


Maybe you are still working through Super Mario Odyssey’s 999 moons! Perhaps you’ve managed to 100% the game… or have you? Who knows! When Nintendo can silently post new Hint Art online without fanfare, all bets are off!

The Most SUPER of METROIDs? (SNES)


Simeon and Scott played Xeodrifter earlier this week, a game which probably wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for Super Metroid. In this SNES Samus outing, we take control of the bounty hunter and explore a mysterious world.

Celeste: Scaling The Mountain


Celeste is a beautiful new indie game available now on the Switch eShop. In this pixelated platformer, you play as Madeline as you attempt to scale the treacherous Celeste Mountain. With a stunning musical soundtrack, a compelling storyline, and tough platforming challenges, it seems this game might just have it all.

Luigi’s Balloon World – Super Glitchfest!


What do you think about cheaters? How about people who take advantage of exploits in Super Mario Odyssey’s new balloon mode to hide things out of bounds? We’ll discuss all that, and more, in this week’s Nintendo News segment by Two Button Crew.
