We never want to get too negative with these shows, and I think we did a good job keeping it light and for laughs.
Top 10 Mario Power Ups
Now that we’ve established our top 10, inevitably there are a handful of power ups that just fell flat and did nothing to improve the Mario experience. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments!

Our viewers love Zelda. We love Zelda. Boom. Zelda video.
The Zelda series has a rich history, and one of the big parts of that is Link’s collection of tools! We take a look at some of the best, most revolutionary, coolest items the Hero of Time can get his hands on.

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?

YOU DON’T HAVE ENOUGH SCARABS!
This game is sure one of a kind – no doubt about it! It’s time to determine if Stat Fox Adventures was ultimately a success, or a failure!

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.

Just making sure we’re staying sharp on the old video game knowledge.
Watch competition #1
It’s that time again – time to test each other’s video game knowledge. Can you guess these video games just by hearing the boxart description?

If this Netflix series materializes, we will make a TBC episode for every episode they release.
A Legend of Zelda Netflix show rumor is one the strangest pieces of Nintendo news to emerge recently – but hey, we’ll take it! If this Netflix series is the real deal, here’s what we want to see.

While definitely a very sad time for Nintendo and Nintendo fans, it is still exciting to look at Nintendo’s future and speculate what changes might be ahead.
After honoring Iwata for his many accomplishments (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67ThKlUr6dc), we would now like to take a look at what this means for Nintendo. What will new leadership of the company look like? What shifts in Nintendo’s approach can be expected?

This was such a great episode, taking the time to look back on our most fond memories of Mr. Iwata and sharing how he has mad our lives better.
Mr. Iwata’s death is heavy on the hearts of Nintendo fans and all gamers in our industry affected by him. We want to take the time and remember Iwata for all of his many accomplishments, but most importantly for the characteristics about him that made him humble, human, and relatable. Iwata, THANK YOU!

I think we’re good at this one! We’ll have to come up with some more obscure, challenging ones next time.

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!

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.

At the end of the debate, we each felt like we had a really hard time making a case against the other persons’ arguments. I suppose that’s exactly how it should be! The franchises we present are both extremely top-notch and it comes down to a matter of preference. Comment away!
We launch into one of gaming’s greatest debates – what is the best Nintendo franchise? Simeon argues for Metroid as Scott casts his vote with Super Mario! Which series deserves the crown? Catch part 2 (7/15/15 episode) and comment below with your vote!

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!

Simeon CRIED. Physical tears from his eyes. Oh dear. This topic must be near and dear to his heart!
