Miyamoto’s High and Low Points

Posted on by

For every time he raised the Master Sword skyward, he is also waved an imaginary flute around by the end of a Wii Remote…


Shigeru Miyamoto is a wonderful man to whom we owe a great debt of gratitude. However, in his many years as part of the game industry, he has had plenty of time to make a few missteps. And they were MAJOR. Miyamoto is someone who should be celebrated but not worshiped as perfect. Oh no – this is one developer who has seen the gamut of success and failure! Join Simeon and Scott as they explore the Japanese developer and creator of Mario’s history, highlighting the lows and the highs.

Should Sakurai Quit Smash Bros?

Posted on by

You know you’re messed up when you gotta use a third party controller. :(


We love Sakurai, the director of Smash Bros. There’s no question about that. But we do have some real concerns about him that range from the health of his body to the way he manages his employees. It might actually be the case that developing Smash Bros. games isn’t the best thing for him, or for his company! We are going to examine the issue from each angle and do our best to come to an objective conclusion: Should Sakurai quit?

What’s Taking SO Long for NX Reveal?

Posted on by

As a Nintendo fan, I’m frustrated. if I were a Nintendo investor, I would be frustrated AND worried.


The patience of Nintendo fans is dreadfully thin, if not already gone. Nintendo hasn’t let a word slip about the NX for months and we’re expected to be primed for purchase in March! Scott presents three compelling cases for why the video game manufacturer is maintaining tight lips.

NX = Nintendo Xbox?

Posted on by

Time will shortly tell!


As extremely unlikely as a Nintendo/Microsoft team up is is, it should would have quite a few benefits for both companies.

Our Best & Worst E3 Memories

Posted on by

At least there weren’t any giant enemy crabs that actually took place in ancient Japan.


We miss Nintendo’s live presentations as much as anyone, but I think it’s safe to say they weren’t always perfect. Today we talk about the highs and lows.

The Nintendo World Championship Returns!

Posted on by

It’s our debut episode! We had a lot of fun recording this. We’re learning a bit as we go. What an exciting time to be a Nintendo fan, and an exciting time to start a brand new show. There’s much, much more to come.

The Nintendo World Championship is returning after a 25 year hiatus! During Nintendo’s E3 2015 programming, gamers will face off in a variety of games to become the Champion. What games will be included in this competition? Simeon and Scott present their theories in this episode of Two Button Crew.

Metroid Prime Is Back in 2016!

Posted on by

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?

The Nonspecific Action Figure Special

Posted on by

Everyone, retrieve your Smash Ballots, cross out “Bayonetta” for goodness sake, and write this wonderful man in!


Nonspecific Action Figure, the mysterious mascot that helped introduce us to the Wii U. Quickly forgotten, NSAF didn’t quite get to enjoy his time in the spotlight that he deserved. Well, we’re going to do our best to rectify that issue and spend an entire video talking about him, his plasticness, that mask, those muscles, wings, and sword?! NSAF, who are you? Where did you go? And for the love of Sakurai, WHY AREN’T YOU IN SUPER SMASH BROS?

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

Posted on by

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

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?

What’s Going On with the Metroid Series?

Posted on by

Now excuse us as we cry ourselves to sleep.


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.
