It’s a good thing Simeon got this Mystery Block matchup and not Scott – Sim is much more of a crybaby.

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!
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.

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!

We never want to get too negative with these shows, and I think we did a good job keeping it light and for laughs.
Top 10 Mario Power Ups
Now that we’ve established our top 10, inevitably there are a handful of power ups that just fell flat and did nothing to improve the Mario experience. Do you agree? Let us know in the comments!

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?

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.

The DSi was a really solid piece of kit, and some of my best memories with the handheld were with this wonderful game. Don’t skip over it!
On some of these Retro masterpieces, you’re just going to have to take our word for it. Photo Dojo is pure simple fun. What we wouldn’t give for Nintendo to bring it back!

This is the first time a Two Button Crew show has gone on for so long that we had to split it into two episodes. I enjoyed finding a good widway point and creating a custom transition for it. I actually think the pixelated look is pretty neat!

Our massive debate was so big we had to split it into two shows. There are just so many strong arguments for each franchise we present – we’re still not sure who won! Comment below and let us know your thoughts.

At the end of the debate, we each felt like we had a really hard time making a case against the other persons’ arguments. I suppose that’s exactly how it should be! The franchises we present are both extremely top-notch and it comes down to a matter of preference. Comment away!
We launch into one of gaming’s greatest debates – what is the best Nintendo franchise? Simeon argues for Metroid as Scott casts his vote with Super Mario! Which series deserves the crown? Catch part 2 (7/15/15 episode) and comment below with your vote!

We totally bought in to ALL the Nintendo Revolution hype at the time of its original reveal. How much did Nintendo really oversell this concept?
When Nintendo unveiled the Revolution, the technology demonstrated blew us away. As the product slowly morphed into what we now know as the Wii, some things under-delivered. We take a look at what the Nintendo Revolution was supposed to be!
