| 2/27/24 |  Lee Trevino's Fighting Golf | 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. | — | ||||||
| 12/5/23 |  Panic Restaurant | Join us in this deliciously entertaining episode where we dive into the quirky and delightful world of 'Panic Restaurant' on the NES. We'll cook up a storm discussing the unique gameplay mechanics, colorful graphics, and the catchy soundtrack that make this game a hidden gem. We also spice things up with Michael's Quest for the Cart, sharing a whimsical tale of how this rare cartridge was added to the collection. Plus, we serve a side of 'Retro-Fitted Trophies' for an extra flavor of fun. Whether you're a seasoned chef in the NES kitchen or just looking for a taste of nostalgia, this episode is your perfect recipe for retro gaming enjoyment! 🎮🍳🌶️ | — | ||||||
| 10/24/23 |  Rollergames | Strap on your skates and join us in this thrilling episode as we speed through the pixelated lanes of "Rollergames" on NES! From fearless skating heroes to relentless baddies, we tackle it all. We've also got a fresh segment of retro-fitted trophies that add a modern twist to this classic roller derby adventure. Plus, hear what our listeners have to say about their own joystick-juggling journey through this vintage gem. Get ready for a nostalgic ride full of 8-bit beats and high-score heats in the roller-rumbling world of Rollergames! | — | ||||||
| 5/8/23 |  Not Rollergames | This episode should be about Rollergames for the NES. It is not. | — | ||||||
| 11/23/22 |  Laser Invasion | We'll save you the "we're back" slogan. We might be, we hope we are, but there are no guarantees in this topsy turvy world. Despite that, we are bringing you an episode with all your favorite tangents, a decent chunk of game talk, and even talk about an accessory. | — | ||||||
| 9/6/22 |  Taboo: The Sixth Sense | Justin and Michael discuss the "game" called Taboo: The Sixth Sense and try out a new recording studio outside of the Krystal. Support us on Patreon! | — | ||||||
| 8/3/22 |  Snake Rattle 'n' Roll | Justin and Michael discuss the Rare game... Snake Rattle 'n' Roll. | — | ||||||
| 6/15/22 |  The Krion Conquest | The what? Who has ever heard of this game? Power Trip Gaming has heard of this game. Paul and Andy join Michael to discuss this unusual Mega Man clone. Rare game and a rare episode, as Justin is actually absent from this one. | — | ||||||
| 6/2/22 |  Dragon Warrior | 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. | — | ||||||

| 11/30/21 |  Vice: Project Doom | "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! Hint: it's the book Q is for Quarantine N is for Nintendo : Surviving Coronavirus and the Spring of 2020 bit by bit Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network | — | ||||||
| 11/17/21 | Season 9 Knock the Dust Off Episode | 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. | — | ||||||
| 8/10/21 |  Back to the Future | 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 | — | ||||||
| 7/20/21 |  Gauntlet II | The arcade megahit comes to the NES and the 2 Dudes and a NES podcast! Michael and Justin experience all the genuine arcade action, including the original digitized sound and spellbinding graphics. And Brother Aiden experiences every one of the over 100 arcade mazes complete with all the sorcerous secret rooms, traps, monster generators, transporters, force fields, and villains - it's all straight from the arcades, and it's all here. And like the arcade game, up to four Brothers can join the Dudes in action at any time with Nintendo NES Satellite Transmitter or Four Score. This Gauntlet you won't want to lay down! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network | — | ||||||
| 6/9/21 |  Captain Skyhawk | 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 | — | ||||||
| 4/20/21 |  Pirates! | 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!

| 3/23/21 |  Catchup with Steven Michael from Facebook | Psych! You thought this was going to be the Pirates! episode didn't you? Well, we did too. Unfortunately, most everyone couldn't make it on this episode. However, Steven and Michael had already sat down so they figured it might as well serve as a chance to catchup and talk games and life anyway. Look forward to several topics including: PS5, wild birds, therapy sessions about obsessing over side quests in games, $GME, and and a lot more! | — | ||||||
| 3/16/21 |  Yoshi's Cookie | Michael and Justin are filling in at the Cookie Factory, and they need your help! Fresh baked cookies roll out of the ovens. It's up to Michael to sort and stack 'em before they pile too high! Line up a row of the same kind of cookies either vertically or horizontally, and they vanish! Clear the screen to move on to a new level of cookie chaos. Matt Raithel of Graphite Labs appears from time to time to stir things up. Play for high score, or head-to-head against a fellow Bit Brother. The mouth-watering madness doesn't let up! And be sure to keep some cookies close by, 'cause you'll get the munchies during this lip-smacking good time! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network | — | ||||||
| 2/23/21 |  Faria: A World of Mystery and Danger! | Justin is ready for mind-blowing action... Michael is prepared to test himself against the most fearsome forces of evil... Power Trip Gaming...

Challenge a cruel and cunning Andy with their magic and their wits! Paul has been kidnapped by a fiendishly powerful Andy for his bride. The Bit Brothers and Dudes are all powerless to rescue him...

FARIA is action-adventuring fun for the entire Bit Brothers community, featuring: Feverish battle against every monster ever imagined! Challenging gameplay for even the most experineced brother! Over 70 different items to acquire, from powerful weapons to spectacular magical powers! Adventurer's Guide included! Brought to you by the Bit Brothers Network | — | ||||||
| 2/9/21 |  Wall Street Kid | Where life, love and money all depend on how well you play the game. Justin can make billions of dollars when he deals with the giants of Wall Street, the Bit Brothers community. Not only does Justin take risks by playing the stock market and buying up GameStop stonk, but he must prove that he can uphold a high standard of living. Michael dreams of fame and fortune and this Life Simulation game is his way to the top. He can taste the victory of success, but only if he is strong enough to face the challenge of life, and buys up all the GameStop stonk. Now, are you ready to deal? YOLO, buy some tendies.
