2 Dudes and a NES: A Nintendo Podcast

Join Michael, Justin, and Rob (another one?) as they discuss the NES classic and just general classic... Batman.

Does this highly rated classic stand the test of time? The dudes discuss the original Mega Man with special guest Robert Maher, creator of Rex Rocket!

Don't have negative thoughts. It's just another name for the Justin to mispronounce... the dudes discuss Faxanadu with special guest Aron Robison.

Football season here we come!! Tecmo Bowl for everyone! With special guest Paul aka "Sweet" from Retro Obscura... sort of... almost... not really.

The Dudes are back!!! And they are bringing with them your most asked for game from the NES library... Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!

The dudes are finally playing Punchout for you guys... no... wait... it's Power Punch II!? Doh! WARNING: This episode is on the fringe of family friendly. No cursing, but some crude humor near the end.

Michael and Justin discuss their Top 5 Jobs Held by Mario in the NES era.

Justin learns what isometric means as the dudes talk about Cobra Triangle.

Michael and Justin expected to play this game sooner or later... get it?

Michael and Justin quit their day jobs and work as plumbers... wait... no... on the Wrecking Crew!

Calamity and Woe! Michael and Justin talk about the much underrated Bucky O'Hare for the NES.

Michael and Justin's ambition is to rule the world...one teenager at a time!

Are you a bad enough dude to listen to the 2 dudes talk about Bad Dudes??

Save the chicken butts! Justin and Michael break out the old power pad to make feet burgers and save the chicken butts in this week's episode of 2 Dudes and a NES about Short Order/Eggsplode... and the Power Pad!

When the Dudes said they intended on playing the good, the bad and the ugly on the NES, they were not kidding. This game comes from the gallows of the bad game repertoire.

The dudes reach into obscurity this week to pull out a little known or talked about game out of the NES vault. While most, (sans one sporting a ginger colored beard that may be awesome) have not heard of this game, the dudes hope to bring it into your NES experience.

Jaws… the one NES game that has consumed more of the dudes’ collective time than any other game. Why didn’t they spend their wonder years playing co-op Contra? Why didn’t they compete in some intense high score competitions with Donkey Kong? Who knows. Maybe if they knew what they were doing they would have spent less time on it.

Hold on the dudes are pumping some iron getting ready to bust out of their shirts to talk about the quintessential ’80′s game Contra.

The Dudes were delighted this week to have yet another real life guest on our show! They talk about one of the best NES games to come out on the system… Metroid!

The 2 Dudes really outdo themselves on this one. They actually have a real live guest who is very accommodating, unlike that nutty Mario. David Crane sits down with the Dudes for an exclusive interview about his days as a video game programmer in the early days and his experience creating and designing A Boy and His Blob. If you listen to any 2 Dudes show, this would be the one to catch. But you s...

Michael and Justin take a break from the game by game to discuss some of their favorite Secrets/Easter Eggs.

Join the 2 Dudes as they discuss by far the weirdest game to be discussed on the show. If you like futuristic games where ancient Japanese dance art is a vital component to success, you will like this game. Plus how many games can you use hair as a weapon?

Metal Gear is a very unique experience on the NES. There isn't another game on the system quite like it. Does that mean that it's amazing and one of the best games to ever grace the system? Vladimir Putin might say yes, but the dudes... well they might think otherwise. Listen to find out what the NES dudes think about this game and why they are making references to Vladimir Putin in addition to To...

While hanging in the balance of Dimension X, we decided to spend some time talking about the game Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and who else is better to talk to about this game than a couple of dudes who pride themselves on turtleology. While TMNT certainly added some frustrating times during our childhood, it added many enjoyable times (except the child labor some had to endure to get the game).

The moment you hit the power button, Wizards and Warriors' epic score lets you know exactly what this game is all about. Knights... magic... swords... demons... gems... gigantic hollow trees...exploding eggs... alarm clocks? Yes, David Wise really knows how to score a game and Rare really knew how to develop them.
