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!

There’s a small possibility that Nintendo might be launching a new console NEXT YEAR. That’s insane. The hype train is already started to toot toot!
While Nintendo’s hardware developers are hard at work creating the successor to the Wii U, we are hard at work scrutinizing every rumor and theory that emerges about the NX console!

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

Some of our best gaming memories happened at LAN Parties, so we really enjoyed the chance to recall some of these awesome experiences together!
We snuck in a lot of Nintendo games to LAN Parties, and the results were a combination of fun, funny, and tragic. Look back with us on our best and worst memories!

It was a blast setting this world record in 2009, and it’s still a ton of fun to look back on those crazy days!

Any time we can introduce some friendly competition as well as laugh at some crazy stuff form Nintendo’s history is a home run for us. Join in the fun and guess along!
You couldn’t ask for a better bunch of obscure peripherals than ones from Nintendo’s prolific history of odd add-ons. Can you guess what these crazy peripherals are for?

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.

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!

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?

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.

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?

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.

We agree that Metroid: Other M deserves a lot more credit than it gets, so it was really fun to go against popular opinion here and try to convince the masses. Give Other M another chance!
One of the most polarizing games of last generation was Metroid: Other M. A drastic new direction from Nintendo we met with harsh critical and fan reception. We share some different perspectives on this unique entry in the Metroid franchise!

We have the privelege of being a part of a great, thriving Smash Bros. community in our area, so we took our experiences with the competitive scene and weighed in on the Custom Moves debate. Either way things go, we’re big Smash Bros. fans and will continue to enjoy fighting for Glory in Smash Bros!
There are hundreds of custom special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Should they be legal in tournament settings? Simeon and Scott speak from their own experience and present differing opinions from the Smash Bros. community.
