It’s unanimous: Scyther and Tyranitar confirmed
Even though Pokken is already great, we’ve already thought of how to make it better! We want these DLC characters in Pokken!

When Hitmonchan is not Hitmonchan…

Realistic Pokemon IRL video, anyone?
Oh, Fan Art. You never really disappoint, do you? There’s always something awesome, detailed, thoughtful, and mildly creepy.

This is probably the most exciting patent filing since the Switch started leaking!
What if Virtual Reality access was a mere plastic-headset away for Nintendo Switch owners? That dream could become a reality thanks to Nintendo’s latest patent filing. The mechanism described simply requires a Switch console to be inserted into a VR headset in order to immerse the gamer into a virtual world. Will the Switch’s specs be up to snuff for VR? Watch Scott and Simeon examine the patent and discuss the possibilities.

We will be attending Classics Anonymous.
“Virtual Console” isn’t a term that we hear much these days, especially compared to all the buzz surrounding the SNES Classic Edition and the NES version before it. We’re wondering: Are these special retro consoles here to stay, while VC takes a back seat? Will we ever see Virtual Console on Switch? Let’s discuss!Footage credit: Polygon

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, home of the lone cheap Switch accessory.
Mario Kart 8 is getting a facelift, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch! In another show of Nintendo listening to their fans, they’ve completely updated Battle Mode in this entry of their kart racer series, while throwing in a bunch of extra characters, karts, and modes. All of the changes can be a bit hard to keep track of, and that’s why Simeon and Scott have gathered a comprehensive list for your convenience!

Just can’t get over the awesomeness of Samus Returns!
Metroid: Samus Returns is a dream come true. While providing us a new Metroid game, Nintendo is also reusing something from the Gameboy library. GB games are the perfect source for remakes, as many gamers today haven’t tapped into that library, and many of those experiences would be worthy of replaying with a face-lift. We don’t want Samus to be the only one Returning from the Gameboy days, so we’ve made a list of the titles we’d like to see. What did we forget? Let us know in the comments!

There is no excuse for the existance of these poor, poor products.
Third Parties have really done a disservice to Nintendo fans over the years, manufacturing junky controllers that make no sense and fall apart. At least we can have a good laugh about it now!

Ah yes, the “nasty month-old Coke,” a staple at Scott’s household.
If you love embarrassing home videos, and/or gaming, you’re in for a treat today! On a recent episode, Scott and Simeon promised that if you gave the show enough likes, we would post an OLD Two Button Crew video that predates the Daily Show for Nintendo Fans. Well, here it is. The Crew harbors an intense hatred for cheaply made, sloppy 3rd Party Controllers that just don’t compare to the real deal. Mad Catz is a well-known culprit of terrible off-brand alternatives, and in this video, a Mad Catz Gamecube controller is destroyed. Literally.

Sincerely, we do wish the best to those who lost their jobs in this process.
Unfortunately, a former video game industry giant has bit the dust. Mad Catz, long known for their affordable hardware alternatives and questionable quality, have filed for bankruptcy. What went wrong, and what does this mean for Nintendo fans? Simeon and Scott are here to discuss the fall-out!

BECAUSE I’M BATMAN
Proceed with caution. The footage you are about to view may scar you. You won’t walk away from this episode the same. It may well be the weirdest thing we’ve ever done (and YES, that includes our Octodad skits). Today we’re taking a look at who the most “Batman” characters are that have graced Nintendo consoles. You’ll see what we mean!

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!

Mark our words… MARK THEM!!!
With Nintendo fully revealing the Nintendo Switch TONIGHT, we couldn’t be more hyped! This is officially our last chance to make predictions pertaining to the launch of the console, its hidden features, and what we might see accompany the hardware at launch! Pass the time waiting for the Presentation by watching this episode and dropping your OWN predictions in the comments section!

We won’t be satisfied until we know about every screw and strip of adhesive in the console! Oh, and, details on digital purchases carrying over would be awesome too.
We Nintendo fans have been described by Reggie as “insatiable” before, and that title still holds true for us today. Less than a week ago, Nintendo spent an entire weekend informing us about their new Switch console and giving press members hands-on time with the system, yet we STILL want to know more. There are still some burning questions that we must have answered before the home/portable hybrid releases on March 3rd!

If you’re reading this, and you’re an indie developer, get in touch with us on the Contact page. <3
We love independent video game developers (affectionately referred to as “Nindies”). Why? Because they’re the underdogs – the small studios that are going toe-to-toe with giant corporate competitors. And oftentimes, they’re the ones that innovate and bring us the most interesting experiences, the ones that deserve further pondering and reflection after their completion. And so, going into a new console generation on the Nintendo Switch without stopping to examine the indie offerings would be a big mistake! These are the games to watch for in the coming months – don’t miss them!

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!

Or Wonder Girl – don’t you forget it!
#567 – SEGA fans, rejoice – your time has come. This Master System classic has been remastered and released on the Switch! This is a RPG-ish, Metroidvania-ish, Zelda II-ish game that looks and sounds stunning in the rereleased version. Beautiful hand-drawn graphics are really on display here, so take a look at the footage as you hear our thoughts!

Goo Balls is really the official term in this game.
#565 – This indie classic has no problem resurfacing on new consoles, and Switch is no exception! Outfitted with touch (and pointer?!) controls, this remake is a must-own if you’ve never played it before. If you HAVE, well, this review should help you decide if the $10 double-dip is worth it or not.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… Thump for Prez.
#566 – Thumper is a rhythm game unlike anything you’ve played before. Take control of a speeding scarab as you try desperately to stay alive. Crash through barriers, take the tightest turns, and fight back against giant boss battles… all in time with the music! This is an indie title that you DON’T want to miss.
