TBC 014: NF Interview with Lucas M. Thomas

Play

Lucas M. Thomas is editor in chief of Nintendo Force magazine, and he’s here for a deep dive into his mind! We had a great time asking him all manner of questions, from what its like to manage a team of Nintendo writers, to what program he uses to put together the pages of the magazine, what he thinks of their competitors, etc. We learn a lot about Lucas and NF magazine in this episode, and hope you will enjoy it as well!

TBC 011: How Reviewing a Game Works

Play

Video game reviews are a big part of the industry. Release dates are anticipated, embargoes are established, and review scores land around the internet simultaneously. Gamers can’t wait to see what the hot new title will score. But how does it all work? What’s the history of game reviews, and what do they really mean? How does one become a game reviewer? We answer all that, and more, in this month’s edition of the Two Button Crew podcast.

Rise and Fall of Nintendo Power

We’re going to take a break from making NF videos after this one, so make sure to enjoy it and drop a comment!


Before NF, there was NP. Nintendo Power was a long running magazine, originally produced in-house at Nintendo. Over the publication’s many years, it evolved and changed with time as well as with new ownership. Simeon and Scott from Two Button Crew are here today to jog our memories on Nintendo Power’s storied history!
