I love te smell of Youtube comment trolling in the morning.
It’s the grand-daddy of all Mega Man debates: Which is superior; Mega Man 2 or 3? It’s time to put granddaddy to rest!

Caves. It’s always the caves.
Retro, or MORE retro; who will be victorious? You decide! Will it be the classic 8-bit, or the classy 16-bit?

30 years… I can’t even remember back that far…
It’s been 30 years since the original LoZ was released it, which makes it the perfect time to revisit it! Scott gives his impressions after all this time!

“It’s so hard to find the NES Classic Edition! Why can’t Nintendo just put all those games on a cartridge and call it a day?”
It was the same story with the Super Nintendo version.
Nintendo fans and collectors, left baffled by supply issues, often bemoan the fact that these collections of retro games aren’t made available for Switch.
What if Classic Editions weren’t miniature reproductions of the original consoles, but simple game carts or eShop downloads?
Pros:
+ More convenient
+ Cheaper
+ Portable
+ Easier to purchase
+ Less clutter
Cons:
– You don’t get the original controllers
– Only lasts one console generation
– Less of a collector’s item
– Not as nostalgic
– Well… you can’t hack it to add more games.
Personally, I’m really glad Nintendo chose to recreate the consoles. I’ve been wanting NES to return to store shelves for a decade, but I never predicted the genius of shrinking it down to the size of your palm and preloading it with games.
I can also now say that I own an SNES, which is the only console I missed while growing up.
It’s easy to beg Nintendo to make things more convenient and cut some corners, but the experience just wouldn’t be the same.
Oh my good gracious. Thank goodness for that 10x life code, or else Simeon and Scott would be up a creek without a paddle! We’re attempting to conquer the Contra game known as Super C, but it’s going to take all our patience and focus to make it past a level or two.

Super Mario Odyssey might be all the rage right now, but Super Mario World was also released this year! On the SNES Classic Edition, of course. Simeon and Scott are taking a trip down memory lane to a game that many still consider the best of its class. Super Mario World changed things dramatically for the Mario series, and introduced many beloved mainstays.

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.

Scott got a bit lucky here. How could he not know that iconic title screen by heart?!
The Best Title Screen Ever… is… whatever gets drawn out of the Mario hat! Good luck explaining it, Scott!

Simeon got a really tough pair this time! But he did just fine. People really seem to be liking the Mystery Block format so we have some more this week!
Random Nintendo-Platform Game + Random Topic = Mystery Block.
Could Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) possibly be the best PARTY game? Simeon takes his best swing at it.
