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!

Simeon CRIED. Physical tears from his eyes. Oh dear. This topic must be near and dear to his heart!
Keiji Inafune is hard at work, filling the Mega Man sized holes in our hearts. We support you, Inafune!

This is it… the 2D Mario game to end all 2D Mario games. Nintendo is opening the creative floodgates wide open with this one.
The Super Mario Maker levels shown at E3 just scratch the surface of what the creative minds of Nintendo fans will produce with this robust tool kit. The possibilities are endless. Let’s see what you got, Nintendo fans!

Star Fox is an odd, experimental series with a lot of Nintendo charm and fun gameplay. Zero will be a very interesting departure for the series in many ways. Can’t wait to get our hands on it!
Star Fox hogged the spotlight at Nintendo’s E3 2015 showing, and it pleased a lot of fans. How is this title shaping up to the previous Star Fox games, and other current Wii U offerings?

Ah, Smash Bros. You are already one of the best games on Wii U and 3DS, yet you continue to delight with some great Downloadable Content. Paying extra for more characters like Lucas isn’t our favorite thing in the world, but Ryu… Oh boy. Down to forward punch. Yeah.
Smash Bros. hit it out of the park at E3 2015 with all kinds of DLC from characters to stages, to costumes… available that day! We’ve been playing with the new content and have a lot to say about Nintendo’s Smash presentation and continued DLC support.

We did it. We got that stinking Bingo! We are now the official Nintendo Prediction Experts. Come see us for your E3 2016 prediction Bingo cards next year! Also, we’re shooting in a new location this week. It’ll be cool to switch things up and have some Nintendo stuff in the background. That Play Choice 10 is the bomb.
Gamer Christmas 2015 (AKA E3) just went through Los Angeles like a hurricane and Nintendo made a lot of announcements. Some were expected, some were surprises, and some were even extremely controversial. What did the Crew think about Nintendo’s showing this year? Comment with your reactions – we want to know what you thought as a Nintendo fan.

We have the privelege of being a part of a great, thriving Smash Bros. community in our area, so we took our experiences with the competitive scene and weighed in on the Custom Moves debate. Either way things go, we’re big Smash Bros. fans and will continue to enjoy fighting for Glory in Smash Bros!
There are hundreds of custom special moves in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Should they be legal in tournament settings? Simeon and Scott speak from their own experience and present differing opinions from the Smash Bros. community.

Nintendo struggles to perform the balancing act of protecting their young fans as well as meet the expectations of adult fans. Voice chat is one of those areas that Nintendo fans may have felt slighted, considering the robust communication offerings on other consoles. In this episode, we took an honest look at the situation and the implications of Nintendo’s recent decisions regarding voice chat. It’s a more serious episode and it was cool to see that the TBC show can be lighthearted and fun as well as contemplative and heavy when appropriate.
The battle between Nintendo and online voice communication rages on. Nintendo has dipped their toes in the water with recent Wii U releases, but completely excluded voice chat in others. What’s really going on with this situation? What do gamers want to see happen?

We are both pretty passionate fans of the Super Smash Bros. series. Sometimes it feels like a love/hate relationship, but we just care so much about the game and the decisions that the developers make! More importantly, the advent of DLC in Smash Bros. opens up endless fun to be had theorizing over additions and debating for characters to be grafted into the roster.
What character would you like added?
