We are Metroid fans through and through. What that means is this: if you are also a Samus enthusiast, we feel your pain. Metroid fans typically get the short end of the stick, and we feel overlooked when Nintendo services many of their other IPs but leaves the Metroid fanbases with leftovers. We want more Metroid, and we want work from Nintendo’s A Team! We at Two Button Crew don’t feel like that’s too much to ask, so today we’re looking at where in the world (or galaxy?) the Metroid series has disappeared to.

TBC needs an offical… sidekick… YouTube channel! Now accepting applications.
Every superhero has a sidekick, and Nintendo’s stable of heroes are no different! But the characters that we find in Mario’s and Link’s shadows are not to be overlooked, because sometimes those characters are the ones that leave the biggest impression. That’s right – today’s all about the hero-helpers that made our gaming experiences amazing!

The bonus materials for Patrons from this episode turned out as pure gold!
Speech jammers are devious contraptions that capture your audio and repeat them back to you via headphones, with a catch… a big delay that makes it very difficult to focus on what is coming out of your mouth. What then, will the results be when Simeon and Scott attempt to read humorous Nintendo-related snippets while hooked up to such an apparatus? Good news; you won’t have to look further than this episode for the answer to that question!

Simeon and Scott – judges of consoles’ and portables’ fates alike!
3DS originally launched in 2011. That’s a long time ago for a handheld! In the time since it’s been revitalized with its “New” branding and features, but the platform is still looking long in the tooth, especially when examined next to the new Nintendo Switch. Switch almost leaves 3DS in the dust, and that’s exactly what Simeon and Scott are discussing in today’s installment of the Two Button Crew show; should 3DS have a future?

No pun in this snippet – the Nindies really are knocking it out of the park on this console!
Wow, if you like indie games, you’re in for a treat with the Nintendo Switch! A large swath of games is incoming throughout this month and the next few to come. Nintendo is taking a more active role in curating relationships with indie developers, and only letting the top quality content through to the eShop. That’s why Nintendo’s Nindie presentation a few weeks ago was jam-packed with exciting and engaging titles. Here are our favorites!

These is the part of the website where we write little snips of funny text relating to the clips below.
Snipperclips is a Switch exclusive game that makes excellent use of the system’s unique Joy-Con controllers. Playable alone and doubly fun with friends, this devious puzzler is charming, creative, and challenging – the “Three Cs” of puzzle games! What more could you want? Watch Ryan and Scott play through some of the tough levels as they discuss the game’s merits.

Vote with your wallet and play these awesome titles!

The compilation of mini-games that launched with the Nintendo Switch is a compilation of party games. The title appears to have had a pretty short development cycle, too. As a result, some of them are very much skippable! But, there are some standout games in the crowd that deserve to be played over and over again, and they’ll make you laugh every time. Here are the best ones!

Similar to how “we” was suddenly a buzz word after the reveal of Nintendo Wii, it is now off limits to use the word “switch” without a wink-wink nudge-nudge to accompany its use!
We’ve only had a handful of days with the system, but BOY has it left an impression on us! There’s really something special about Nintendo’s Switch console/portable hybrid platform. And having a huge open world Zelda game on it sure doesn’t hurt! It’s very early to have a full review but we’re happy to provide our thoughts so far, and we’d love to hear yours in the comments below. Tell us how your experience has been!

You don’t need to be real life friends to be Switch friends.
Launch day – March 3rd 2017 – we took two Switch units to the local mall and invited passersby to take a controller and give the new console a spin. We found a lot of people who didn’t buy their own console that were happy to give it a try! Impressions were all very positive.

This is the day that Nintendo fans have been waiting for! Happy Switch day everyone! We hope that everyone who was planning on picking up a console was able to get one. We had a blast going to our midnight release, and we’ve got a Special Edition of Breath of the Wild to unbox.

We’re gonna be hitting up one of these arcards real soon! Vlog incoming.
Before Nintendo was making the Switch and other video game consoles, they created arcade cabinets with knock-off games inside! It’s true! What’s more, they placed them inside of abandoned bowling alleys. Yes, Nintendo’s history is murkier and muddier than the polished vibe they give off now. Just before plunging into a new era of console-gaming goodness, we take a step back and look at how far we’ve come.

Waiting for a console launch is kind of like being a fianceé. It’s a very temporary status, can be enjoyable, but the wait is killer.
The Nintendo Switch launch is nigh upon us. At the time of this upload, it’s a Wednesday morning in North America. Tomorrow night, people will be lining up to take home their shiny new console/portable hybrids! What do you plan on doing for Switch Day? Are you going to have trouble sleeping for pure excitement? How late will you stay up with a pair of Joy-Con in hand? WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?!

We forgot to examine the aspect of fun. This WOULD be fun to do.
Nintendo’s recent rerelease of their very first home console has a design flaw… it’s hackable. That’s right, you can hook it up to your computer and load games onto the hardware that Nintendo never intended you to have access to on the miniature device. This is a great opportunity, but it has legal, technical, and even moral implications that must be examined first! Let us do the research for you and then you can make up your mind after this video. Let us know your stance in the comments!
It’s not easy creating loads of content for YouTube and the Nintendo fandom as a whole. It’s a joy, but a burden at the same time – a labor of love! That’s why we’re urging you to support your favorite creators – vote with your wallet to keep them going! Shot by Alex Campbell “Escape the Premises” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)

If Nintendo’s not gonna do it, someone’s gotta fill that Samus-shaped hole in our hearts.
Metroid fans, we feel your pain… for it is our pain, too. It feels as if Nintendo is neglecting us. And indeed, they may be. BUT – other developers are filling in and bringing us unique experiences that remind us of Samus and her isolated adventures! Indeed, indie developers seem to have taken it upon themselves to give us the classic, 2D, puzzle/shooter/exploration action that we crave. You can’t go wrong with picking any of the titles we discuss in today’s episode!

Before we officially say hello to the Switch, it’s time to pay our respects one FINAL time to the home console that has entertained us for the last four and a half years. The console that brought us asymmetrical multiplayer, tablet gaming. The console that is home to some of Nintendo’s finest gaming innovations in history! Wii U, you may not be remembered as a commercial success, but we will sincerely miss you! And here is why…
