Scott does his very best unintentional Obama impression.
We’ve played a few pranks on Nintendo Customer Service before, but today we’re branching out to see if the folks at GameStop can give us help finding some gaming-related products!

Waiting for a console launch is kind of like being a fianceé. It’s a very temporary status, can be enjoyable, but the wait is killer.
The Nintendo Switch launch is nigh upon us. At the time of this upload, it’s a Wednesday morning in North America. Tomorrow night, people will be lining up to take home their shiny new console/portable hybrids! What do you plan on doing for Switch Day? Are you going to have trouble sleeping for pure excitement? How late will you stay up with a pair of Joy-Con in hand? WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS?!

This is our very first collab video with Nintendo Force – kicking off a long tradition of guest appearances on their channel!
March 3rd looms ahead! The excitement is real, but don’t let your guard down. It’s important to go into launch day (or launch midnight release, rather) with a plan! Even if you already have a preorder, there are certian precautionary steps that you can take to ensure you have the best console-buying experience possible. Don’t blow it! This opportunity only comes once or twice a decade. Simeon and Scott are here to speak from experience and give you the best tips on waiting in line, getting the accessories you need, and maximizing your schedule around the new Nintendo Switch release.

Please forgive us for our ignorance.
#502 – Sure, we might LOOK like pros, but we were once a couple of newbs just like the general populous. We did things back in the day that make our more mature-gamer-selves cringe. But at least we’re man enough to admit those past shortcomings! Have you ever been a newb? Sure you were. Hopefully, you can relate to some of the funny stories we share in today’s episode of the Two Button Crew show!

After you save some serious Benjamins by following this advice, you might just head over to our Patreon page. ;)
#524 – We know how it is! Video games are expensive and cash is tight. That’s why you can’t just buy games from here, there, and everywhere all willy nilly! You gotta go in with a plan, know where you can score the best deal, and save some dough. Don’t buy another game until you watch this full episode!

I’ll take one NES Classic Edition with a side of GOUGE-ME-FOR-$200 please and thank you!
#569 – GameStop, ThinkGeek, and other retailers are starting to hold their Nintendo inventory hostage and sell it along with a bunch of other junk. If you’re looking for a Switch or even an NES Classic Edition, you may have noticed this questionable business practice… Simeon and Scott are here to look at the issue from all the angles, and determine if stores have a right to do this. And is it in consumers’ best interest? (Go ahead and guess the answer to that one.)

It’s nothing personal, Wii U… it’s not you, it’s us.
As we discussed yesterday, with a brand new console coming (expensive in itself), it’s also accompanied by many accessories and other opportunities to spend your hard-earned cash. Well, that money needs to come from somewhere, so what about selling your older games and consoles… say… your Wii U? Will you really be playing it anymore? Does it really have THAT many truly exclusive games? We’ve collected the definitive lists of pros and cons – watch, then make up your mind and proceed with confidence!

GameStop seems to be slowly dying. As the industry becomes more digital and as competitors offer more compelling deals (like Amazon’s pre-order discounts and the late Best Buy Gamers Club Unlocked), GameStop just can’t seem to keep up the pace. In a pre-emptive memorial, Simeon and Scott remember some of their favorite worst memories at GameStop.

We’ve all done it. We’ve called GameStop with a question, listened to the employee’s big speel at the beginning, then been disappointed by their answer. Yet we keep calling. It’s the definition of insanity! In order to point out the absurdity of this cycle, Simeon and Scott have created a simulation of calling GameStop which will be demonstrated for you in this video.
