Do you want the good news, or the bad news first? (Well, too late – we already recorded this episode.) As you’ll see in the video, the good news is that Nintendo is on a huge roll with hardware sales. The bad news is, some third parties are still holding out before committing to support the system with games. Will it be too late by the time they get on board?

Pokémon
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!

Simeon & Scott Attempt the Pokérap
Let’s not ever do this again!
#527 – Did you know that we are secretly a duet of white rappers? Who would have guessed?!

Caption This! Nintendo Photo Challenge
We apologize. But not really.
#508 – Oh dear. We’ve done it… we’ve gathered the internet’s most awkward Nintendo screenshots and we’ve put horribly hilarious captions to them! See if you can top ours by leaving your own in the comments.

Pokemon Card Showdown – TCG Battle!
The resolution’s not bad – your eyes are just not working properly today!
#503 – Simeon and Scott used to play Pokemon cards before they played much video games. Those were the… old days! And today we’re going to relive some of that fun, while Simeon uses a legacy Pokemon card deck and Scott challenges him with a brand new set of cards. Watch as they attach energy, play trainers, evolve, and kill each other by flipping coins.

Pokemon TCG: Old Vs. New Cards
Basic Pokemon Charizard, I choose you! Quick, use Fire Spin for 1 colorless energy!
Simeon and Scott are fans of Nintendo and Pokemon from the golden age. They’re “gen 1ers” if ever there were any. So, naturally, this episode is based entirely on singing the praises of the first few expansions of Pokemon cards and bashing everything that’s come out in the last decade… NO, not really, but there’s a little bit of that. ;) Game Footage Credit: CGRundertow, TheJWittz

Who’s that Pokemon?!
Scott had a good time preparing this test for Simeon… but what goes around will come around eventually!
It’s what made commercial breaks in the Pokemon anime bearable! We turn it up a notch and put Simeon to the test – can he, a Gen Oner, name several obscure newer Pokemon?

PETA vs. Nintendo
We can do serious sometimes. AND still manage to have fun with it!
PETA, animal rights are cool and all… but your approach is so very wrong.

Who’s That Pokemon?! Round 2
Oh, Pokemon. We pity the team that has to come up with these ridiculous names.
Watch Round 1
It’s time for another fantastic game of Who’s That Pokemon?! Can a Gen Oner like Scott guess the names of modern Pokemon?

The Pokemon team is sure doubling down on phones! Hope this game doesn’t disappoint – the hype couldn’t be much higher.

The Best First Date Video Game
And that was how Scott met his wife at the age of 14… actually… that’s a story for another time!
Random Nintendo-Platform Game + Random Topic = The Mystery Block. They say you can find out a lot about a women by the contents of her purse – but Scott has developed a better method. Watch and learn.

Create A Crossover
At this point, Metroid fans would settle for that rumored Star Fox crossover…
If you could take two Nintendo franchises and create your own glorious mashup, what would it be? Here are Scott and Simeon’s pitches! Which one would you rather play?

We Want these Direct Sequels
Do you think we’re going to talk about Star Fox Assault? Of course we are.
When a game leaves you wanting more, it’s done its job well. These games have done that, and we can’t wait to play part 2!

What is Detective Pikachu?
This game just sounds like all kinds of creepy.
