PAX 2017 Trip Recap Vlog + Nindies

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Got to meet: Peer, Brian, Zach, and even Jose!


#598 – We really had an awesome trip to PAX West 2017. Our patrons funded the trip, and we’re super thankful that you guys made it happen. In this Vlog you’ll get to see us travel, snag some last-minute Sunday passes, meet IGN staff, sneak into the showfloor while it was closed(!), play some Nindie titles, as well as new Mario & Luigi and Fire Emblem Warriors games! Make sure to watch until the end!

Pokken Tournament DX Impressions (PAX 2017)

I think I discovered a pattern… this guy always let me win Round 1 and then spanked me!


#597 – Pokken is back! We played the original on Wii U, but now the Switch is receiving a deluxe inversion that includes all the arcade characters, plus a newcomer! Scott challenges a Nintendo rep in this video, so forgive him if he gets spanked. At least you get to see four playable characters in action that weren’t available on the Wii U version!

Yes, it is great.


#596 – Super Mario Odyssey is Nintendo’s next big hit game coming to Switch. We went hands-on and explored the Sand Kingdom. Included in this demo are a few different 8-bit challenge sections, purple coin locations, and an interesting Capture mechanic that involves a big Tiki Head and sunglasses. Enjoy this sneak-peak at Super Mario Odyssey!

Runner3 Gameplay + Impressions (PAX 2017)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Looking REALLY good for a 2018 title!


#595 – Runner3 is the third installment in the Bit.Trip Runner/Runner series, made by Gaijin Games/Choice Provisions. Commander Video has gone through some changes, including receiving the ability to double jump, wall-jump, and more! We went hands-on with a number of different levels and environments, and we gotta say, development seems pretty far along. It’s a really polished indie game. This is a tough one though, so forgive Scott when he dies!

Metroid: Samus Returns Gameplay + Impressions (PAX 2017)

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

We got a lengthy hands-on with Samus, but you only have to wait a few days to take a copy home yourself!


#594 – Metroid: Samus Returns is almost upon us! Before you take the game home on Friday, take a look at our footage. Don’t worry – we adjust the camera a few times so you can get a closer look. It actually plays really well, and looks so much better in person. The 3D is great, each area is like a little window into the alien planet. And the animation is top-notch. See for yourself!

I challenge you… to a D-D-D-D-DUEL!


#549 – Astro Duel! You’ve seen it on the Switch eShop, but maybe you’re not entirely clear on how it works or how it plays. Wonder no more – Crew Member Glen himself is here with the review to fill you in. Make smart choices with that money of yours!

Snipperclips Gameplay + Impressions

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

These is the part of the website where we write little snips of funny text relating to the clips below.


Snipperclips is a Switch exclusive game that makes excellent use of the system’s unique Joy-Con controllers. Playable alone and doubly fun with friends, this devious puzzler is charming, creative, and challenging – the “Three Cs” of puzzle games! What more could you want? Watch Ryan and Scott play through some of the tough levels as they discuss the game’s merits.
