2 Dudes and a NES: A Nintendo Podcast

ANOTHER PATREON PICK! It is officially the attack of the Patreon picks and the dudes could not be happier about that either. This week however, Dude Justin is on the sidelines with a sick Dudette but never fear Dude Micheal is joined by Hon. Dude George for this week. The game being played was a bit of a cult classic RPG The Bard's Tale. The game has been received with mix...

This week the Dudes sit down to talk ANOTHER PATREON PICK! Did we mention that you all are awesome, yeah you, you are awesome. This week's game is a pick by Dude Joe who chose Adventures of Dino Riki. A lesser known title to grace the NES, Adventures of Dino Riki, is a difficult but fun addition to any D-padder's collection. It is a game that plays a lot like other Hudson Soft makes like...

Frustratingly difficult? Maybe. Fun? Depends on who you ask. Classic? For sure. Hold onto your underwear! Ghosts 'N Goblins has a storied history in the video game industry. Starting in the arcade and then later ported to the NES, this game is difficult yet fun. Want to know what the Dudes thought of it? Listen in. The Dudes are really liking all of the Patreon Picks. This is another one...

The Dudes sit down this week with Eric from the Factory Sealed Podcast to talk about one of the most NES games Mega Man 2. The Dudes spend some time early in the podcast talking with Eric and making some corrections to the Ducktales story that was pointed out by a D-Padder.

Another Patreon Pick!? Not only is this another pick from our Patreon supporter Dude Shaun, but it's also a widely loved game. It's a Capcom Disney game from the NES era. Do we really need to say anything else? Probably not, but we did sit down and discuss this game quite a bit in this latest episode.

The Dudes sit down to talk another Patreon pick and this week they are joined by the picker Greg from the SNES Podcast. The game that is discussed is a little known classic Astyanax. This Jaleco game may have quietly existed in a massive NES library but brings a lot of fun to the Dudes this week.

Lots of Robin Hood talk, cat jokes, and call backs in this episode of 2 Dudes and a NES. Also, a little bit of talk about the NES game... Defender of the Crown.

Just in time for Easter, the Dudes are here to talk about an Easter Egg. Except this time the Easter Egg is a game itself. The Dudes are talking this week about never released and unfinished game Hyperion. Developed by Yoshio Sakamoto, Hyperion was a very unique game that could have had an impact on future games released on the NES. However, the game was never released and actually gave rise to tw...

Are you like the Dudes? Do you watch Home Alone all year round? Even when it's not Christmas time? Is your play count on the movie above 500? Well, then why not join Michael and Justin as they discuss the NES adaptation of the movie? Made by (now) famous development studio Bethesda Softworks. This game was voted on by you, the D-Padders, as the 2nd most wanted game for us to talk about. Interestin...

The Dudes return! And as per dude protocol, they are joined by special guest and back from break specialist John. This week the Dudes dive into the NES classic Super Mario Bros 2. Definitely the most obscure of the Mario games, there is perhaps no other Mario game that has more polar reactions to it. Super Mario Bros 2 brings out the debate about whether it is a great Mario game or a mediocre at b...

What better episode to start over with than Super Mario Bros? The game that started it all: The NES, the podcast, the Dudes' love for gaming in general.

You guys asked for The Legend of Zelda and we give you Zelda II. What are we thinking? Well, we're thinking you'll forgive us because we brought along the Nintendo Quest (NES Club) dudes!

Hiyah! Now that we've got the obligatory hiyah out of the way, the Dudes are joined by Kung Fu master Landon Long of The Retro Junkies Super Show! It's time to kick some tail and save Sylvia!

Rygar? Why not.  Another D-Padder pick as Rygar jumps to the top of the voting list just prior to the new year.

Tune in to the Dudes for a Christmas radio show, complete with your called in memories, songs made up by the Dudes, and other Christmassy talk.

The greatest faceoff in the world of podcasts happens now! Watch Genesis Gems vs. 2 Dudes and a NES as they take on the game... Battletoads & Double Dragon. Who will come out on top?

By popular demand, Justin and Michael discuss Ninja Gaiden. And somehow they refrain from profanity.

We thought about doing Silver Surfer today, but... nope. Happy Thanksgiving episode!

Which one's Bubble and which one's Bobble? Justin and Michael drink too much fizz, blow bubbles, and talk about two little dinosaurs... aka Bubble Bobble.

We are bringing in the Honorary Dude Jay for an extra delightful trip into slumberland as we discuss... Little Nemo.

It's Dude Michael vs. Kyle Murphy (of Eclecnet) in the ultimate showdown arena... Super Dodge Ball. Refereeing this event, will be Dude Justin who promises to remain unbiased despite his dude connection. *Something happened to Kyle...*

You knew the Dudes were going to bring a good game (well, A game) for Halloween season. What better game to play than... Friday the 13th?

Justin and Michael sit down with special guests Rob McCallum (Nintendo Quest) and Nick Stephens (Genesis Gems) for a special bonus episode of 2 Dudes and a NES... Shovel Knight. It is super inspired by the NES so it counts, right?

Justin and Michael take to the skies to discuss the Greek tragedy... Kid Icarus.

Listen to Justin and Michael tell the tale of the dudes.
