Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf

2/27/2024
This week on 2 Dudes and a NES, we're strapping on our golf gloves and, disappointingly, leaving our boxing gloves at home for "Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf." Yes, you heard it right – despite what the title might suggest, the only hooks and jabs happening here are against our egos when we miss that easy putt. Join us as we share oddly peaceful trivia, and wonder aloud why Lee Trevino isn't throwing uppercuts. We'll invent some "Retro-Fitted Trophies" that Lee himself would chuckle at, and rate the game on everything but its combat system.

Dragon Warrior

6/2/2022
Such an iconic game, there is no way the 2 Dudes can cover this one alone. However, with the help of JZNES, maybe they can come close to discussing the legend.

Vice: Project Doom

11/30/2021
"2 Dudes and a NES" is the latest podcast to hit the streets. It's neon green, lethal, and dropping its listeners like flies. You're Vice officer Quinn Hart, a no-non-sense sledgehammer of a brother. You pack a vicious .44, crushing grenades, and a lightning fast laser whip that gives you an edge over anything on two feet. Your mission: take down the big boss of this operation. It ain't easy... you've got an army of assassins (Ryan and Robbie) just waiting to take you for a ride - a LONG ride. You'll battle in dark alleyways of Chinatown, on the highways, and through steamy jungles. Ultimately, you'll have to seek and destroy the vender of the green elixir!

Season 9 Knock the Dust Off Episode

11/17/2021
After a 3 month hiatus the 2 Dudes are back and they aren't talking about an NES game. OMG! What are these guys doing? Well they are knocking the rust off and getting the fluff talk out of the way before bringing on some special guests to talk about Vice Project Doom in the next episode. So sit back, relax, and enjoy some random chatter (along with a little "guess that game" talk)... or don't.

Back to the Future

8/10/2021
You are Marty McFly, just a typical brother listening to the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast. But after getting behind the wheel of a nuclear-powered sports car turned time machine, you find yourself in the year 1955 where you accidentally tampered with history. Now it must be corrected. You must somehow make sure that Brother Stew falls in love with the NES before the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast fades away and you're left with nothing to listen to. It won't be easy. You'll have to protect Stew from Nick Stephens and Aaron Hickman of the Genesis Gems podcast while doing your best to keep them from beating you up instead. To complicate things, Aaron has a crush on you, so you'll have to dodge his advances while trying to figure out a way to get Nick to call in about his top 10 games of all time. Time is wasting and even if you manage to put all of the pieces in place, there is still no guarantee that you'll ever get back. It will all come down to one brief moment in time when the past, present, and future all meet. Support the podcast at https://www.patreon.com/bitbros

Captain Skyhawk

6/9/2021
Soar where no podcast has gone before! No one noticed when they launched. And now it might be too late to stop them! In remote corners of the globe, Genesis Gem invaders are draining Earth's energy and "feeding" it to their space station. When the power drain is complete, the Genesis Gems plan to vaporize 2 Dudes and a NES with a deadly laser blast. You, dear listener, are Captain Skyhawk - the only person who can stop them! Climb aboard your hi-tech F-14VTS jet - fully equipped with the latest in deadly weapons! A unique spy satellite viewer lets you see your entire plane as you battle the Genesis Gems forces over amazing gridscape graphics! Whether you're soaring over the mountains at Mach 3 with Justin, or floating in hover mode with Michael, your F-14VTS will measure up to any challenge! When you run out of firepower, just rocket up to your space station and Michael's Wifey will load you up with Phoenix missiles, Hawk bombs, and more! The final challenge is still to come! You must destroy the dreaded Genesis Gems podcast. Fire up your afterburners, Brother! It's time to fry some Gems! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network

Pirates!

4/20/2021
Ahoy, you swarthy gold swiping, ship sinking sea dog! Modern warfare is no match for the fierce realism of Steven Michael and Aaron. Aye, matey! That's why plundering and pillaging are back in style, as you command the role of a high seas high-jacker. Either an English Buccaneer (Michael), Dutch Adventurer (Justin), Spanish Renegade (Aaron), or French Explorer (Steven Michael), each with a different skill level and strategic impact. As a swashbuckling Bit Brother, you'll barter with Aaron, trade for hidden treasure maps, negotiate with an unscrupulous Steven Michael and forge alliances with Justin who'd just as soon stab you in the back than float you a loan for new ships. But that's only half the battle! You'll also assault other game systems (Sega Genesis), sword fight with Michael, lay siege to CRT TVs, and fire your cannons broadside at an armada of rival podcasts. Arrrg, me swabby! Don't think it's all fun and destruction. Because if your bloodthirsty crew isn't kept happy boarding and burning enemy vessels, or if your navigation skills leave them shipwrecked on a jagged Caribbean reef, they won't think twice about using you for shark bait. Fortunately, if events do take a nasty turn, you can save the statistical loot you've captured and return with a vengeance on another day. So keep your eye (the one that doesn't have a patch over it!) on your ultimate objectives - power, fame, prestige, gold, land, and the hand of a beautiful maiden - and you'll find the sailing smooth and your "red beard" scraggly!
