EVR Race is quite possibly the first arcade game Nintendo ever made! It’s likely you’ve never heard of it, so sit back and receive yourself an education about this whacky horse-racing game made by the Big N in 1975.

Let’s Play… Jelly Mario?
Jelly Mario. You read that right! Somebody transformed the laws of physics in Super Mario Bros… and this was the result.

Mindblown by Metal Storm for NES
Metal Storm is a hidden gem of a game. It came out late in the NES’ lifecycle, so it may have been overlooked by many. But this game deserves some attention!

DKC2 – Diddy’s Kong Quest (It’s a Pun)
Each week, Patrons of Two Button Crew vote on which classic game we will play live on our stream. This time, DKC2 was the winner! Simeon and Scott have played the original on a previous video, and weren’t too taken with the game’s weird graphics. Will the sequel win them over? Will patron’s feelings be hurt? Watch and find out!

8-Bit Batman (NES [But LOOKS Like SNES!])
This game is insane. It’s absolutely nutso-butso, if we’re being completely honest. It’s an NES game that looks like a Super Nintendo title. Sunsoft knocked it out of the park, making a title that’s true to Batman, challenging for the player, beautiful to progress through, and fun to play.

Pole’s Big Adventure (Japan Only)
This mysterious WiiWare game was annouced by SEGA and seemed to go mysteriously quiet. What really happened was they released it in Japan only and never localized it! Pole’s Big Adventure looked like a super fun and quirky spoof of beloved 8-bit platforming games. We’ll let you know what we missed out on stateside!

Should I Buy the Super Nt in 2018?
Super Nt is basically a brand new SNES console that outputs to HDMI. It takes your old / original controllers and cartridges and gives you brand new hardware to play them on. OH, AND IT WORKS WITH SUPER FAMICOM STUFF TOO!

Bionic Commando for NES
In our previous video, we tried to guess video games using only 3-word clues. That was not easy. The game we’re playing today is even LESS easy! Bionic Commando was voted (by our Patrons) as today’s Let’s Play Classic pick. When will they ever give us a break to try something easy?!

TBC 008: Game Preservation
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Subscribe: RSS
Preservation is the idea of keeping something in tact—the act of taking measures to ensure things won’t fade away, become corrupted, forgotten, or unusable. Sadly, preservation is not currently a priority for the larger gaming industry. These days, developers make money by shipping an incomplete game, patching it to kingdom come, and deleting the source code when they go out of business. That might be an extreme example, but it does take a great deal of intentionality to make sure today’s favorite games will be playable by our kids and grandkids. It was simpler in the days of cartridges, but with so much riding on the upkeep of servers, cloud saves, and day-one-patches, it might be a scary future for video game preservation if we don’t have some thoughtful conversations. That’s why this month’s podcast is all bout preserving the art form of video games.

Ranking the Top 10 NES Games (Comicon Panel)
Simeon and Scott were graciously invited to rep Two Button Crew, and all Nintendo fans, at Lilac City Comicon 2018. It’s been a lifelong dream to run a convention panel, and if we say so ourselves… it went over flawlessly.
…Except for maybe the list itself! That was whack! With audience participation, we formed the “definitive” top 10 NES games of all time. Watch the chaos unfold and tell us if you agree in the comments.

Tetris & Dr. Mario: 2 Games in 1!
Tetris & Dr. Mario might just be the greatest video game compilation of all time. You can’t go wrong with either of these titles, but mashing them together?! That’s ingenious!

Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap 😍
Simeon and Scott boot up this 8-bit Master System game, remade into a beautiful hand-drawn sidescroller. We reviewed it when the game first came out for Switch, but this is more of a casual Let’s Play format!
