Welcome to Button Buddies, the podcast where two pals, Tommy and Daniel, dive into the pixelated past to play and chat about retro video games! Each week, we fire up a classic or hidden gem, sharing our thoughts on how these nostalgic treasures hold up in today’s world. Think of us as your friendly, laid-back gaming book club. We’re not here to deliver serious critiques or deep dives into game history—just to have a blast reliving the games we love (or love to laugh at). With silly banter, fond memories, and a sprinkle of retro trivia, we invite you to play along with us!

Little Buff Boys Do Some Housekeeping 16.06.2025 30:57

Last time we had some technical difficulties (losing some of our audio) and didn't have much structure going on. We try to remedy that and might've swung too hard in the other direction. We'll get it figured out though and hopefully you'll figure it out with us. This week we finish our discussion of Super Mario Bros. and share our excitement for next weeks game, Link's Awakening!
