Who’s that Pokemon?!

Scott had a good time preparing this test for Simeon… but what goes around will come around eventually!

It’s what made commercial breaks in the Pokemon anime bearable! We turn it up a notch and put Simeon to the test – can he, a Gen Oner, name several obscure newer Pokemon?

Best of Smash 4 Evo 2015!

Scott picked out and recorded all the clips, but Simeon didn’t see any footage previously! It was cool having one host who had already viewed the material and then having one person’s initial reaction.

EVO 2015 was hype – and the Smash Bros. scene was huge this year! Nintendo sponsored the event and the top players all fought for glory. Please enjoy our favorite clips and reactions!

To be honest, this is the best episode we have produced to this date. Enjoy!

Nintendo & SEGA are veterans of the most epic console wars – the Battle of the Bits. It was a fearsome time, with many a smear campaign. Shots were fired left and right. Bits were compared. Join us as we relive this incredible age.

Debate: Best Nintendo Franchise of All Time pt. 2

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.
