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.

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?

We never want to get too negative with these shows, and I think we did a good job keeping it light and for laughs.

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!

Oh, the Game Boy. How did you not have color until 1998. How?

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 forgot to examine the aspect of fun. This WOULD be fun to do.
Nintendo’s recent rerelease of their very first home console has a design flaw… it’s hackable. That’s right, you can hook it up to your computer and load games onto the hardware that Nintendo never intended you to have access to on the miniature device. This is a great opportunity, but it has legal, technical, and even moral implications that must be examined first! Let us do the research for you and then you can make up your mind after this video. Let us know your stance in the comments!

No idea why they didn’t mention the Virtual Boy at all…
The Nintendo Switch is the product of over 30 years of hardware manufacturing. Its designers learned a lot along the way, and have kept the best features of each console that proceeded it. The result is a Nintendo system that has a little bit of everything!

The Iron Fist in the Silk Glove.
Hiroshi Yamauchi was one of Nintendo’s former presidents, who oversaw the company through its formative years of becoming a video game powerhouse. His leadership style was harsh, and his legacy is controversial. He was a very different man than Iwata or Kimishima that we have come to know and love, so let’s take a look at how he differed and how he helped Nintendo become what it is today.
