Death Squared is a new indie game that takes GREAT advantage of the Switch hardware and its natural bent toward casual cooperative affairs. In this title, players must work together and employ good communication and a healthy amount of caution to survive and clear test-chamber-like puzzles. Spoiler: it’s a blast!

Console Wars – Book Review
Console Wars is a hefty historical fiction book written by Blake J. Harris. It documents the rivalry between Nintendo and Sega, who were scrappy combatants in the 16 bit console wars. Scott has read through all 500 pages of the beastly book, and is here to report back on the experience!

What Makes Geno So Special? HUH?!
Geno has a cult following, that’s for sure. This weird wooden wizard gained immense popularity after starring as one of the playable characters in Super Mario RPG. But what makes him so special that fans would still be clamoring for him to become playable in Super Smash Bros. titles to this day? Allow us to consult our resident Geno expert to bring you the best answers.

SHOULD Switch have Virtual Console?
Almost everyone is saying a big, loud, resounding “YES,” Switch needs to have Virtual Console! But Simeon and Scott are both coming at this topic from a different perspective. Before clicking that downvote thumb and leaving a nasty comment, watch the video to the end and see if we present any compelling cases for why Nintendo should abstain from selling their old retro releases to us, once again, on a digital storefront.

Nintendo Making New Switch Peripherals
We selected the BIGGEST news story possible on this *cough* slow *cough* news week. It turns out… Nintendo is actually working on some new peripherals right now! For the Switch! No way, right? Totally unexpected, right? Our minds are blown too.

Kid Icarus: Remember to Hold “Up”
Kid Icarus was forward thinking for its time, but it never really earned the title of a great game. It’s fun to play for a little bit, but Simeon and Scott will be pointing out some of the game’s glaring shortcomings, and stick around for the end to discover why the NES Classic Edition version is potentially the worst!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

Can You SteamWorld Dig It? (Switch)
SteamWorld Dig is a revolutionary indie game that took the 3DS eShop by storm. Now it’s back in high definition on Nintendo Switch, ready to be taken anyway or taken in on the big screen. This game features Rusty, perhaps the most beloved SteamWorld hero. This is Simeon’s first time taking to the dirty, dank underground caverns. How will he fare?

Surviving Contra III: The Alien Wars
Our viewers love putting us through the ringer when it comes to “Let’s Play Classics” games, and this week will be no differing. Especially because we can’t get the Konmai code to work! Simeon and Scott will be lucky to make it to level 3 in this tough-as-nails arcade shooter. At least they have each other to count on… right?

Are you able to discern fact from fiction? Allow us to try and trip you up with this spin on the popular game “2 Truths and A Lie.” Today, the “truths” are Nintendo facts, and we’ve attempted to sneak one falsehood in with them. Using poker chips to keep score, Simeon and Scott will throwdown in a battle for truth.
