January Nintendo Direct?!?!?!


It really happened! What started as a rumor, and turned it to a leak, finally materialized as a bona fide mini-presentation from Nintendo themselves, outlining what kind of games we can expect to be playing between now and E3. It wasn’t half-bad!

Pokken Tournament DX – I Choose You!


Simeon and Scott scored a copy of Pokken Tournament DX on Switch, so it’s time to battle it out and see how the updated version holds up! There are some odd choices for local multiplayer, so the Crew will test out which one is best for competitors, while showing off all the awesome new additions to the roster!

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!

Let the record show! ;)


#555 – Subscribe to CND: https://www.youtube.com/user/CaptainNintendoDude – what a cool guy! We got to meet CND at the Chicago Summer of Play event that Nintendo put on, and it wasn’t long before tempers flared and skills had to be proven. “Settle it in ARMS” as they say!

Note: You can’t capture gameplay in handheld mode, so placeholder footage was provided by: Swillo & BimmyQuestion | WhiteHawke

Franchise / Revise / Demise

“The game is Wii Mu-” “DIE! DIE! LET IT DIE!”


#538 – In today’s unique episode, we’re pretending that we hold the power to decide a video game’s fate. Should it be franchised, and have multiple sequels moving forward? Should it be remasteres once and left at that? Or should it simply be left to die? We have to assign one fate to each group of three games… what would you choose? Let us know in the comments.
