Some of these were really cool ideas… but they just weren’t cool enough.
Nintendo has tried many gimmicks in their day: some have worked, others… Well, we’re talking about them today! Help make TBC better! twobuttoncrew.com/survey

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!

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!

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?

The technology behind Duck Hunt is still fascinating to this day. Thanks Nintendo, for always innovating.
Random Nintendo-Platform Game + Random Topic = The Mystery Block. Was Duck Hunt the most realistic game ever? Scott tries his best to make us think so. How did he do? Sound off in the comments.

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!

Could Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) possibly be the best PARTY game? Simeon takes his best swing at it.

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.
