Nintendo E3 2015 Reaction Blowout!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We did it. We got that stinking Bingo! We are now the official Nintendo Prediction Experts. Come see us for your E3 2016 prediction Bingo cards next year! Also, we’re shooting in a new location this week. It’ll be cool to switch things up and have some Nintendo stuff in the background. That Play Choice 10 is the bomb.


Gamer Christmas 2015 (AKA E3) just went through Los Angeles like a hurricane and Nintendo made a lot of announcements. Some were expected, some were surprises, and some were even extremely controversial. What did the Crew think about Nintendo’s showing this year? Comment with your reactions – we want to know what you thought as a Nintendo fan.

Name that Game! (By its Description)

We love putting each other to the test and trying to trick one another. It’s a blast taking a break from news and doing some good old fashioned competitions!

Can you name a Nintendo game, just by hearing the description on the back of the box? Simeon and Scott put each other to the test!

Metroid Prime Is Back in 2016!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Another TBC Bingo prediction/dream come true, Metroid is returning! Scott and Simeon are split on opinions, so that makes for an interesting episode with different perspectives!

One of the best video game series to grace Nintendo consoles – Metroid Prime – is making a triumphant(?) return in 2016! We couldn’t be more excited about Metroid… But what’s this whole Federation Force, Blast Ball thing about? How should Metroid fans react to this E3 reveal from Nintendo?

Smash Bros: Ryu, Roy, Lucas, and more!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Ah, Smash Bros. You are already one of the best games on Wii U and 3DS, yet you continue to delight with some great Downloadable Content. Paying extra for more characters like Lucas isn’t our favorite thing in the world, but Ryu… Oh boy. Down to forward punch. Yeah.

Smash Bros. hit it out of the park at E3 2015 with all kinds of DLC from characters to stages, to costumes… available that day! We’ve been playing with the new content and have a lot to say about Nintendo’s Smash presentation and continued DLC support.

Star Fox Zero Impressions

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Star Fox is an odd, experimental series with a lot of Nintendo charm and fun gameplay. Zero will be a very interesting departure for the series in many ways. Can’t wait to get our hands on it!

Star Fox hogged the spotlight at Nintendo’s E3 2015 showing, and it pleased a lot of fans. How is this title shaping up to the previous Star Fox games, and other current Wii U offerings?

Super Mario Maker Impressions

This is it… the 2D Mario game to end all 2D Mario games. Nintendo is opening the creative floodgates wide open with this one.

The Super Mario Maker levels shown at E3 just scratch the surface of what the creative minds of Nintendo fans will produce with this robust tool kit. The possibilities are endless. Let’s see what you got, Nintendo fans!

Top 9 Things we Want in Zelda Wii U

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Zelda is probably Nintendo’s most formulaic franchise. It’s a good formula, but I think it is no surprise that our wish list calls for a lot of deviations for the series!

Nintendo chose not to show Zelda for Wii U at E3 this year, because it is still well inside the development process. That means we’ve got plenty of time to get our opinions out there and make sure our wish lists are all filled out to give Nintendo some material to go off of! You can do the same in the comments of this video.

Super Smash Bros. Movie Rumors!

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

A few months ago, these rumors may have been completely discredited, but with Nintendo stepping into the mobile game market, theme parks, and possibly Netflix shows, ANYTHING could happen!

Sony/Marvel news wasn’t the only thing to break during the Sony hack – we learned that negotiations are underway for a Super Smash Bros. movie and other Nintendo property! We discuss what a Super Smash Bros. movie could be, and what it would take to be awesome! Game Theory on Sakurai: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_2OPd25FOw

Looking Back: Nintendo Revolution Reveal

We totally bought in to ALL the Nintendo Revolution hype at the time of its original reveal. How much did Nintendo really oversell this concept?

When Nintendo unveiled the Revolution, the technology demonstrated blew us away. As the product slowly morphed into what we now know as the Wii, some things under-delivered. We take a look at what the Nintendo Revolution was supposed to be!

Nintendo seems to be setting a pretty good pace for mobile development. It will be really nice to have these games augmenting the Wii U and 3DS release schedule!

We have learned the DeNA and Nintendo are collaborating on FIVE mobile games, each of a different genre. It’s time to theorize and put our wish-lists out there!

Debate: Best Nintendo Franchise of All Time pt. 2

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

This is the first time a Two Button Crew show has gone on for so long that we had to split it into two episodes. I enjoyed finding a good widway point and creating a custom transition for it. I actually think the pixelated look is pretty neat!

Watch Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TevFUV_DSwk

Our massive debate was so big we had to split it into two shows. There are just so many strong arguments for each franchise we present – we’re still not sure who won! Comment below and let us know your thoughts.

Photo Dojo – DSi Masterpiece

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

The DSi was a really solid piece of kit, and some of my best memories with the handheld were with this wonderful game. Don’t skip over it!

On some of these Retro masterpieces, you’re just going to have to take our word for it. Photo Dojo is pure simple fun. What we wouldn’t give for Nintendo to bring it back!
