Me hearing that Arlo likes the muppets
"oh cool me too man"
Looks at arlo again
".... oh right...."
I keep wishing the Game Awards will call Arlo to present an award alongside a Muppet.
It would be so good.
@verdantmistral442 if Summer Game Fest can bring in Dunkey, then Arlo at the Game Awards is a real possibility.
Similar event happened to me. Was like "oh he likes muppets, didn't know tha- oh wait no shit"
this all just proves the common phenomenon where actors and interviewers and other such performers tend to forget that the muppets are being puppeteered and treat them as independent beings
He's the bastard child of... well I don't want any beef with that hungry monster and ... whatever.
Well Arlo we live in a world of Pikmin 4, Prime Remastered and Paper Mario: TTYD Remastered so you know what, I’m just going to say yes.
Don't forget about Super Mario RPG Remake and Metroid Dread.
Ttyd is going to be 60 dollars so that's more of a kick in the nuts than a positive. Also, I wouldn't count prime 4 yet either. The longer they wait the more likely it'll only be for the next console. That's going to be a huge handicap that the metroid series can't afford. Scalpers will ruin the launch and kill the game, just like what happened with ratchet on ps5
I feel as tho the price is 100% justified as this is a complete ground up remake of one of the most beloved paper Mario games for a system that is slowly dying.
@@johndodo2062 he said Prime remastered, not Prime 4.
@@johndodo2062Oh no the game is going to cost as much as a game!?
I wish there was an Arlo sitcom, or even an entire Arlo cinematic universe, where everyone is always sitting or standing behind a desk or table.
A mini series called Are Low with just a simple arlo skit like his very ancient channel would be cool
I want an Arlo movie focused around the Raycon promotion and causing multiverse chaos or something. lol
And everyone is in a romantic relationship with pikmin
Google: ‘No. you shut up!’ Arlo would have been a great addition.
A Netflix original
I don't think Arlo gets enough credit for his hand-puppet manipulation skills. The movements are so natural and believable, it's incredibly immersive
I can't watch it without trying to find the flaws.
And I don't see any.
That's because it's his real body. He is the puppet.
What puppet?
Hand puppet? But Arlo wasn't holding any puppet in his hand?
@@TheFrostedfireflywell tbf one of his hands is under the desk,,,, maybe that one had a puppet on it?
Arlo, you just cut from some _Muppets,_ directly to _yourself._
And it made me _realize_ something:
I left my oven on.
Then you'd better go catch it!
...wait that doesn't work...
@@PotatoPatatoVonSpudsworth lol okay mom

I thought Arlo was an imaginary friend, how do you all see him?
Better turn that thing off. That can be a hazard.
You know, I'm surprised you didn't mention Cadence of Hyrule from Brace Yourself Games in your rundown. Giving a third party a free run with one of their flagship IP's and just saying "Go for it" was a heck of a surprise for me when it came out.
However, it's also an example of 'things being left to just happen organically' since the reason that happened was someone at Nintendo really enjoyed Crypt of the Necrodancer and showed it to Eiji Aonuma from what I recall.
I'm so happy we've got it - one of my favorite Switch games ever, and one that I've never regretted going all-in on.
It's genuinely such a good game, I wish more people knew about it
It’s a fantastic game. I just got around to it last year and really enjoyed it.
That one definitely was a surprise, and it was a fun way to combine that game studio's strength with an IP that matches it well.
I was also surprised that he didn't mention WayForward doing the Advance Wars 1+2 remake; that's pretty much a prime example of what's talking about with giving an outside studio an IP that hadn't been seen in a while.
Can I just say I appreciate that in Arlo’s Disney example, the B-roll footage used for “sometimes they put the right people in charge” was from Andor
Andor also sucked. Star Wars hasn't had anything good the moment Disney purchased it
You didnt like Rouge One?@@stormcutter59
@@stormcutter59 I would argue against that, for the sake of Mandalorian (season 1) and Kenobi

Iron man came out before Disney acquired Marvel Studios
That’s cool
Disney didn’t acquire until Iron Man 2
Way way before
@heftyjongle2 958 not till after the third movie
@@heftyjongle2958they acquired before Iron Man 2 and just after Incredible Hulk. That’s when Feige was pretty much given free license to make what he wanted.
You’ve got Ness in that thumb.
I wouldn’t want another entry in the series unless Itoi was involved or at least gave his blessing, and Itoi has said that he doesn’t want to make any more.
An enhanced remake of the trilogy would be fine, though. It’d be awesome if they did it in the same artstyle as that “Link’s Awakening” remake. The only issue is that there’s some weird stuff in the third game that some parents will undoubtedly object to, so it’d probably have to carry a T rating.
2024 is earthbound's 30th anniversary year, if they ever do a remake or something this would be the year
A CZcamsr called MoonChannel made a whole video on why Mother 3 will never be released outside japan. It’s not because of the Magypsies, it’s because of the music.
@@tylercoon1791 I'm aware of the issues. I've seen that exact video. What he rather glossed over is that the samples are mostly just in the battle themes. None of them are in the game's big music pieces. Fundamentally nothing would be lost if entirely new tracks were written or the offending parts were replaced with sound-alikes.
At any rate, the Magypsies weren't the only thing I was referring to. There's also animal abuse, drug and alcohol use, the "oxygen machines", that questionable scene where Lucas's psychic powers are unlocked, and explicit references to death. Nintendo of America might be okay with releasing a game with all of that in it, but it ain't squeaking by with an E no matter how accepting people are of drag queens these days. I wouldn't want them to censor a thing, either, but I think it's fair to say that it should have a T rating so that people know what they're getting into before buying it.
@@TBustah The other games also have a T rating in their rereleases, so it would probably be stranger for M3 to release as E/E10
Get Camelot to finally revisit golden sun on a real meaningful basis. That could be a gold mine if they started with remakes
Dark Dawn needs a LOT of changes too. I think I’d need to see them get through these remakes before doing a new game.
Although it’s not like I wouldn’t eat up a new game in a heartbeat.
They would need to do remake since the original character artist sadly passed away
@@shytendeakatamanoir9740 that’s sad news but doesn’t mean they need to do a remake
Dark Dawn was fantastic, they need to let Team Camelot off of the fucking sports games and back onto the next game.
@@MoonLitChild It was interesting, for sure. I feel that, if we got the second part it would be more fondly remembered, but there were moment that were, frankly brilliant.
I particularly like how the story of the original is retold, and was distorted to fit the narrative.
The 5 choices that all are utterly meaningless is also a great joke.
To me, it doesn't totally stick the landing, honestly, but it's not nearly as bad as people remembered.
If there was an indie studio for a new Wario Land game, I wouldn't choose WayForward, I would choose Tour De Pizza.
There is a game called Anton Blast that is like WarioLand.
If they chose the Wario Land 4 style as opposed to the 2 and 3 style, absolutely.
Make it a collaboration.
tour de pizza has basically already made a wario land game though. why should they be stuck doing the same thing over and over?
Sexy wario would sell millions :P
Still waiting for a new Donkey Kong, it makes no sense that the series is dormant for so long
Especially considering how well received Tropical Freeze was
Nintendo punishing us for not supporting Wii U enough. Instead of a new game we just got a port.
At least we are getting a new DK game this month. The Mario and DK games are modern takes on old DK style and legitimately good.
@@andrebrynkus2055Is it really new if it's a remake of a GBA game?
@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan Tropical Freeze is arguably the GOAT of all 2D platformers but we need a 3D platformer more than anything.
I mean, it was a long time before we got DK Country Returns 1, too. I’m guessing the Mario vs DK remake might be their answer to that, as cheap as that sounds. Or, they’re making a game to release around the same time the DK area of Universal is ready
Arlo is a huge Muppets fan? Huh, never wouldve guessed
(Also yes this is sarcasm)
Also .. why is everyone acting like Nintendo hasn't been reviving game franchises left and right in the past couple of years???
Pikmin is back after 10 years of absence, Advance Wars got a remake, Metroid got a remake on 3ds, a new 2d game on switch and Prime 4 is coming soon, Another Code literally just came back, Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario came back (both super demanded games btw)
They're listening to us, Star Fox, Golden Sun, Kid Icarus.... Those will come in the future, PATIENCE PEOPLE!!
Another code was a game ive been wanting to play ever since i got a ds. But I couldn’t remember what the name is
F-Zero 99 is another example. First F-Zero game since the GBA.
The day they announce more Kid Icarus I will literally cry.
Seeing Pit and the gang again will be like a father who hasn't seen his kids in over a decade.
This is very true I think people just want to see fresh new games from these which is a fair ask, but it's also important to know why their doing remakes and remasters first with some of these. Their testing to see if these will all sell well enough, so if you want new games for a franchise or in the case of paper mario a return to traditional rpg mechanics for that series you need to support these remakes to let Nintendo know very clearly this is what we want. Of course sometimes they've just jumped straight into it recently with a brand new game for a series too and have gotten good results that way too.
Pikmin 4 was in development mere months after Pikmin 3 released (judging by the claims Nintendo made), Samus returns was released as the 3DS started its decline, we just had a Paper Mario game with Origami King, and Dread was merely a shelved concept because the creators were waiting for good enough hardware to make it a reality. They are entries into lesser used IPs, but none of them really indicate that we'd get full fledge proper games for Star Fox, Golden Sun, and Kid Icarus. I really hope we do, but let's pump the breaks a little on our expectations.
Arlo’s point about Disney and franchise investment is honestly the best I’ve seen online. There’s always more opportunities to tell new stories with preexisting characters, unique opportunities that can only stem from sequels or franchise films to make something surprisingly new. What matters is the passion behind that story, that’s what keeps big studios like Disney from benefiting from them.
Their only real success lately has been most of their animated series.
That and, yknow, making good stories.
I feel the biggest issue is that Disney usually isn't comfortable to take some risks and wants to keep everything in an interconnected universe.
The stories seem so scared to end up bad that they can't ever end up that good either. Similarly being so obsessive about keeping a cohesive universe means these IP's will just end up creating a ton of limitations for the kind of stories you can tell instead of it being a source of inspiration.
There's only so much you can do with a story about a well-established character and cramming it in between two stories already told.
There's only so much you can do with a story when it has to work as a part of a greater whole that needs to lead somewhere specific.
You'll never get to a good story trying to please everyone in a split fanbase and trying to account from the complaints of people who don't know how stories work.
I love Arlo, but I still think his opinions around this topic are completely irrational and unreasonable.
First: Nintendo absolutely is at pretty much their maximum output. After merging their home console and handheld divisions, plus working with more third parties, they are releasing far more games than they ever did.
They can't release more than a game per month, when they do, it only hurts the smaller game, it gets send out to die, like WarioWare or Advanced Wars.
Like Nintendo said, it's unreasonable to expect Nintendo to work on all of their IPs all the time, that doesn't make any sense, even if they did, like I said, half of those games would only be forgotten around all those other big games.
It's wise to wait for the right time to release it, and that smaller series only get new games every 10-20, is completely expected when you look at the amount of IPs Nintendo has, and making new entries just for the sake of doing them is a stupid business decision, that's exactly what hurt many series like Sonic, Crash, Assassins Creed and so many others. Nintendo only works on a title when they have a good idea for it, and that's the right decision, if that means you only get your Starfoxes, F-Zeros, Punch-Outs every ten years, so be it.
@@lucashen9686 I completely disagree.
20 years ago it didn't take that much to create a masterpiece.
The primary difference is mostly just fidelity.
Making a game for the N64 took far less development time then than a game pushing the hardware does now. Aiming to make a game that's not that high performance will take less development time now because of better tools as well as less need to optimise.
I am completely fine to be playing games that don't have more graphical fidelity than a GameCube game, and I'd much rather see more games that take less time to develop and take more risks.
This is the first time I really thought about how Arlo is just a puppet and whoever puppeteers him is actually really skilled for how synced he is to the dialogue and the captured nuances in his body language.
Also would love to see a game where they use characters like Wario & Waluigi and telling their story or even just making them relevant in the mainline games
Come on, Arlo's not a puppet!
...Though I have heard that he's related to the Cookie Monster...
He's just a Muppet.
You can make the best Wario and Waluigi games in the world, they will never be relevant in the main series. Wario in Mario 64 DS was the closest we ever came to that.
@@MichaelHeide I honestly wouldn’t be mad if that happened again. After being wowed by all the new characters in Wonder but being utterly disappointed by the “bosses” I really do hope they learn to expand out especially after seemingly breaking away from PM: The Origami King’s no new characters rule. Even Ubisoft was like put them in the Rabbids game somehow.
@@SALT-cp4eu and don't forget the Broodals from Odyssey. But new Mario characters are always limited to appearances in one or two games. The Isle Delfino inhabitants have dropped from the face of the Earth after 1000 Year Door. The bosses from 3D World haven't appeared since. I don't think Nintendo wants more characters in their Mario games. It's surprising that Nabbit still appears today.
But Wario and Waluigi are something else. They weren't created by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka or one of their teams. Wario came from Mario Land 2, and Waluigi came from Mario Tennis. Nintendo doesn't like them despite their enormous fanbases. Waluigi isn't even a fighter in Smash, and Wario always gets shown with his Wario Ware outfit. Nintendo isn't ashamed of them, but certainly seem to be annoyed. I don't think they'll ever have a major role in a mainline game.
On the one hand, With all the long awaited remasters and sequels we've been getting recently, I could see the next Donkey Kong or F-Zero remaster being just around the corner. (It makes no sense why the latter has gone so long without new developments.) On the other hand, like you said, they're pretty conservative with their not as big properties. I wish they did experiment instead of leaving these beloved franchises dormant. Maybe with the new console, will come a new era of IP utilization. At least I hope so.
I really hope there's a shift coming.
I would like to think that, but a lot of the IP are, alas, tech demos. Star Fox and F-zero being the biggest ones. They only EVER make new version of those games if they are showcasing tech or in Adventures case, feeling an IP can't stand witout some backing of a brand name.
F-Zero likely got it the worst. Fro showcase of mode 7 to high speed poly rendering and course creation to some GBA fluff to the pressure triggers on the Gamecube and cross arcade compatibility. If those two IPs can't show off something, they are ignored or we are told, "We already made that game go play that one." When they WON'T release them either.
I never played it, but I hear GX was awesome. A modernized remake of GX would be a great way to see if F-Zero is still a viable franchise. It'd also be nice if Nintendo would give Mario and Zelda a break for a year or two to focus on smaller IPs, especially with how much the two got so much attention on the Switch (unless we get a new top-down zelda, of course).
@@ReikuYin I feel like franchises like Star fox and F-zero, even neglected franchises like wave race or excite bike/excite truck , could be big hits if nintendo put the same amount of resources into the development and marketing of those that they do for Mario/Zelda. I just think of growing up in the n64 era, all my friends used to play star fox/f zero/ wave race just as much as the main nintendo franchises. Nintendo must view it as too much of a gamble
I approve of Arlo explaining how businesses work because it seems random if you don’t know a few things about business and economics and gamers should arm themselves with this knowledge to influence the companies they buy from. He makes a couple of errors, Nintendo doesn’t refrain from making entries in less popular franchises because the developers don’t get around to it. The suits are what get in the way, they want games with the highest return of investment. Why spend resources on F-Zero when you can have your racing game developers make another ultra profitable Mario Kart and subsequent DLC? When a studio gets too large and rich too often making fat margins takes precedence over the artistic desires of developers.
Passion projects become nonexistent in billion dollar game companies or they are forced to adhere to a mass market template. Nintendo is special because the art of video games still sort of matters to them. A typical megacorp would’ve given up on Pikmin after the first or second game, they had such low sales for a AAA developer.
I'm sorry, since when does Arlo have a little figurine of himself covered in Pikmin? That's so awesome!
He got it from a fan a few years ago.
Wait. Where do you see that? What's the timestamp?
@@luischeco3009 Look in the bottom right corner at 2:14
Let me quickly add some context, iron man has never been unknown, or a niche superhero. maybe he was a BIT less well known to people who didn't follow marvel, but even then, his face was on a LOT of their big stuff before the movie. He was always on the avengers, he got big storylines, he was a partner and friend to captain america, he was a big part of events like civil war, the kree skrull war, secret wars 1984, things like that. 2008 iron man just put him into the even more mainstream limelight, but he wasn't a niche superhero. I mean, he was a founding member of the avengers
I do think Nintendo will make a new Wario Land soon. Pizza Tower has proved that there's still a demand for Wario Land-style games.
Arlo... Iron Man was originally a Paramount movie well before Disney bought Marvel and the MCU.
All of phase 1 is considered Paramount. That’s why for many years phase 1 DVD/Blu-Rays actually cost more than Phase 2 & 3. The first true Disney MCU movie was Iron Man 3, which is the worst of the 3 Iron Man movies.
@@Linklex7 Iron Man 2 wasn't particularly well either.
I mean if they’re were something new like a new Star Fox announced, something from F-Zero announced, Kid Icarus or something EarthBound / Mother related even if i’m not super into these series’s I would still support them cause i know these series’s mean a lot to a lot of other people and i want them to have more of the things they love hell supporting Metroid Dread despite not being into Metroid at the time introduced me to that series and now i really like the series so the same could happen with the others
I imagine a GX remake is more likely than a brand new title
Mother/Earthbound will never get another game because Itoi has said the series is finished.
@@fullmetalgamer6062 Honestly as a Mother fan I think the series is perfect with three games. I'd just love to see Mother 3 localized and some remakes of the games, along with some merch. I'd be satisfied with that.
@@TC_EHGL I recommend Eastward as an Earthbound successor.
There is no way in HEL...
Wait, did he just say new Eternal Darkness?
My man Arlo, Never doubted you for a second!
Nintendo relies HEAVILY on quality control to maintain their brand. That's how they get away with charging 60 bucks for almost decade-old games. If it's an important IP, they make sure the game is polished until it shines before release. We also know from Metroid Prime 4 that they're willing to take an IP away from a studio if they think it's being handled poorly.
The exception to all this is Pokemon. The Pokemon IP is SO lucrative, they'd rather turn a blind eye than risk upsetting Pokemon Company with demands of quality control. Thus rushed Pokemon games continue to drag down Nintendo's image.
why did so many nintendo franchises have crappy games in the wii u and 3DS era then?
@@jclkaytwo cause they were desperately trying to get the wii u off the ground. Even then, they were still polished for the most part, just a lot had lacking content. amiibo festival was polished, but it was an empty and badly designed game despite that polish.
There's gotta be some contract that Gamefreak demands to be the only Company to develop the main line Pokémon games. If you look at the other games they've made besides Pokémon, they're all bad. Pokémon is the only franchise that keeps them relevant.
Pokemon aren't dragging on what is already flawed, it is part of what is flawed.
Nintendo has this issue of being really good with spinoffs, till they then try to force a mainline series to be that. Regardless of if it goes good or bad it turns the community into a toxic cesspool because one side must lose.
Paper Mario saw the result of this, and Zelda is facing this more and more now.
Regardless of what side you like, you win at the expense of another and lose at your own expense.
Had these been simply spin offs we could have our 2D, 3D, and Mario Karts.
This current way Nintendo is handling it is you get 2D or 3D Mario and the other dies.
This is the current issue Pokemon is facing, it is trying to turn its 2D into 3D while killing 2D.

You should make a video talking about your thoughts on modern Muppets. I think that'd be interesting!
"Until circumstances changed" is particularly notable. There's a story one of the people at GI biz has about the Wii price. The standard practice for major announcements like the pricing of a console is to give journalists a heads up a couple of days prior, embargoed, so they can write their articles to go online the moment the announcement is made. It helps you get your messaging out, it helps them get the news out in a timely manner. Win/win. The Wii followed that for it's price announcement in the UK. With one exception. In the 3 days between getting the info out to journalists and Nintendo upped the price by £10. When this journalist asked the representative he was in official contact with what happened "plans change" was the response.
"We want a new Golden Sun!" Thank you for putting that out into the universe.
Next Level Games reviving the Luigi's Mansion series is probably my favorite example of an outside studio reviving a long thought dead Nintendo franchise and it makes me proud to be Canadian.
"Deep into that darkness peering,
long I stood there,
wondering, fearing, doubting."
it suddenly echoes in my head...
Well, there's Alex's Spirit on Smash Ultimate, that means Nintendo hasn't forgotten about the IP. I have hope.
my biggest concern about your complaints is that NN is not doing bad, and seems to be driving their strategy very well. so, why should they pivot?
why more games, why more? it might only canibalize the sales of other games that have higher priority. I would argue that those decent selling games would keep the same numbers if more of those smaller titles would be released yearly. people want to spend limited amount of money on games. so, part of those already engaged customers would just buy another title, which increases the cost per game unit for multiple games in the end.
OK, yes, new golden sun, but far away in time from mario rpg reissue or some zelda reboot.
or, yes, new punch out, but don't be having mario&sonic olympics in the same year to be released.
Bottom line, I am fine with NNs dynamic now as I saw during Wii U and Game Cube time. I still bought the same number of games for those systems as I did for Switch.
You know, I’m not sure I agree too much with the “just make more and more” request.
Sure, it’s effin’ awesome to think of more Nintendo stuff to play (especially Metroid in my case).
But I like to think that scarcity is also part of what makes each entry special. Take Metroid Dread for example: It’s really damn special to just have it. But would it be if it was just the 15th entry in the series?
Now I know you speak more about stuff that could use a bit more attention from Nintendo’s part. But that’s where it starts.
And then in 10 years those might be the new CODs or ACs. Because output frequency becomes the focus rather than whatever else Nintendo prioritizes now.
In short, I feel like the fact that they don’t make THAT many games is part of why most games turn out to be something special, something great.
Completely agree!

Nick Fury recruiting Arlo for the Avengers Initiative too.
Just wanted to mention that we don't want to forget about Cadence of Hyrule where they let an indie dev use the Zelda IP and Way forward doing the advanced war remake. These might of helped get ball rolling if this rumor is true.
Possible projects going by interviews:
- Suda51 has stated that his dream Nintendo game is Takamaru's Castle. He's close-friends with a lot of the higher-ups. Might be possible.
- Fast RMX guys potentially pitching another F-Zero game to Nintendo. They've been turned down, but they could give it another go if Nintendo is way more open as Arlo says. Dykgaming did a great video discussing this.
- Wayforward wanting to do a Zelda II remake.
Those are the ones that stick out to me.
8:26 Samus. Metroid. You have a dark and frightening SciFi universe with a deeply beloved main lead, in a big powerful suit, doing heroey things.
One amazing game can launch her back into the zeitgeist. It might make an excellent launch title for the Switch 2 when that finally comes, if they can time it right.
On an unrelated note, gimme Wario.
Sad fact: Many of the Disney+ Star Wars shows that flopped were conceived as movies and adapted to shows...
Andor wasn't written as a Star Wars show, and bought by Disney. Proves Arlo's point. They jevwr to levwrage the IP by attaching it to good scripts, not start printing scripts just because they have IPs.
Nintendo’s Iron Man is Samus, obviously
Iron Woman.

When I see stuff reappear out of nowhere, I usually assume that something is going to be done with it. For along time there, when Turner Classic Movies pulls a movie out of the mothballs and gives it a prime spot for a showing, I made the assumption that a new DVD or Blu-Ray release of said movie was in the offing, and I was usually right.
So when I see something like Golden Sun get a re-release on the Switch, I find myself wondering if it's a way to test the waters and see if there's still a market for the property. So if they're talking to more companies, maybe we can put those two ideas together, and look at some of those re-releases, and wonder a little more creatively about why they were released.
I want a third DKC returns game, Monster games who made the 3DS port of returns made some pretty decent levels for it so maybe they could make the next one.
I totally agree with the indie dev angle. Take 2d Zelda - Nintendo could talk to the Blossom Tales people, or the Tunic or Deaths Door people?
...They can also give it to Grezzo. If indie studios are going to work with big Nintendo IP, they should be putting twists on them and giving us something new, like what we saw with Cadence of Hyrule
I keep thinking of a dream I had that Summitsphere (Antonblast devs) were working with Nintendo on a new Wario Land game
Being a Muppet fan is suffering. I genuinely really liked Muppets Mayhem, thought it did a good job of having muppets i grew to care about not to mention some rocking music. But of course that means it was cancelled.
If Jim Henson had died, like, 10 years later, then I think The Muppets would be in a much better place. While Christmas Carol proved that the Muppets could live on without Jim, it quickly became clear that they were missing a fearless creative mind that got them this far in the first place.
While I adore The Muppets (2011), and I really like Muppets Most Wanted, Haunted Mansion, and Mayhem, and it's a miracle that we got The Muppet Show on Disney+, I think selling them to Disney was a mistake. Disney got the Muppets at the end of Eisner's reign as CEO and long after he lost interest in acquiring them. It's pretty clear that Disney views The Muppets as a much more disposable brand than Marvel or Star Wars. They'll greenlight a project every once in a while, but they'll never give the francise the love it deserves.
@@BrendanJSmith I think on some level a part of it is that Disney has pretty much decided CGI is The Way Forward and has been doing more and more digitally to the point that we had a freaking strike in large part because of actors concerned they'd eventually be totally replaced. The Muppets are INHERENTLY the realm of not only practical effects, but practical effects mastery; they'll use cg every now and again but puppetry is by nature all about the practical and Henson and Oz championed that proudly. Which ultimately means some nonzero number of people making decisions about the Muppets not only don't get it, but hate everything those fuzzy lil dudes stand for.
A good starfox game that focusses on polished core gameplay, atmosphere, character and charm, without any stupid gimmick tacked on.
That's all i'm asking for.
When I saw Cadence of Hyrule, I, like I imagined many others, were salivating at the prospect of other indie studios getting to make spinoffs for classic Nintendo IP. And then, it just...didn't happen again...
In fact, if nothing else, Nintendo has just gotten far more vicious in their takedown of fangames and independent projects in recent years. I would instead be trying to ID the most popular and brand-safe ones and trying to sell them on the eShop.
As for Wario Land, if I were in charge of Nintendo, not only would I make it a priority to get Pizza Tower on Switch immediately, but I'd also give Tour De Pizza the rights to do whatever they wanted with Wario for that game. From as simple as a Wario character mod, to a DLC side mode, or even to a full fledged sequel.
There is a game called Anton Blast that is like WarioLand.
@@orangeslash1667 Ah, didn't know about that one - it looks really fun!
My point still stands as Pizza Tower (very deservedly) became a wildly popular and successful phenomenon, but I wish the Anton Blast devs all the luck.
@@chaoticcranium The reason Wario was created is because Nintendo R and D 1 runout of ideas for Mario Land, and wanted to work on something they created. Sadly R and D 1 was shut down.
Funny Fact: the designer for Wario is also the designer for Samus.
My heart goes out to all you Earthbound/Mother fans; I would love to see Nintendo announce a remaster/release of any of those games, or heck, even finish the one that was supposed to come out for the Nintendo 64 some 25 years ago.
This year is Earthbound's 30 year anniversary! Perfect opportunity for them to announce a remake (or maybe give the U.S. Mother 3) 👀
@@aswizzlefoshizzle The problem is that Mother 3 has copyrighted music, localizing it could cause Nintendo trouble.
The good news is that there is an indie inspired by Earthbound, called Eastward.
As I understand it, the N64 game was just the Mother 3 rough draft, so to speak; they started making it on that platform, then later shifted the project onto the GBA.
...Also, yes. 100% yes I would love to see some remasters, even if it would require replacing some iconic music!
@@AnotherCraig They can't change the music without Itoi's permission.
The fact that we now live in a world where remakes of the Oracle games are expected to be coming is just more than I ever could have asked for from the company that sits on IP unless some sort of new gimmick is involved.
I think the biggest take away I got from this was, "Wait there's a new(old) Shantae game?"
I cant wait
Another instance where Arlo brings up Wario Land. Again, I find it weird that he's interested in Wario Land when he said he's not into 2D platformers all that much. He could be using it as an example of using an Indie developer to revive a long-dormant IP, but he similarly demanded a new Wario Land when WarioWare: Move It! was announced. I would LOVE to see a video from Arlo talking about his feelings on the Wario Land series more.
There is an up coming game called Anton Blast that is like WarioLand.
@@orangeslash1667 I'm well-aware of that... And it's coming to the Nintendo Switch (unlike Pizza Tower, which doesn't seem to be coming to consoles anytime soon), so Arlo has an excuse to talk about Wario Land then.
@@Rubberman202 The reason Wario was created is because Nintendo R and D 1 runout of ideas for Mario Land, so they needed to do something new. However R and D 1 was shutdown.
The only reason was Shake it was green lite is because of Takahiro Harada, of one the programers of ML2 6 golden coins.
The good news is that Good Feel made a new adventure game.
The biggest issue I can see is that nintendo has always been about quality. The 80's gaming crash was all about 3rd party developers flooding the market with cheap poor quality products often made with ridiculous amounts of crunch time, and Nintendo became the gaming Juggernaut it is by establishing a strict quality threshold for anything licenced for release. We are seeing the same sort of industry trends now that we saw then, and while I think Nintendo should work with outside studios to increase their release schedule it needs to be tempered by maintaining Nintendo's quality standards (this would be especially useful if we do get the predicted Switch 2 in the near future, as more release games is always helpful for sales).
Sega is bringing alot of old IPs back, like, Crazy Taxi, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Jet Set Radio and Shinobi, I miss all and Panzer Dragoon
I would love a Starfox game where there's even more branching paths and a choose your own adventure, that includes lots of anime cut scenes so it feels like you are in an actual cartoon - like hours of footage. You could play online with a ton of other players. It would be cool if Falco left the Federation for the Rebels and you can ether join The Rebels or even join Wolf with the Pirates, so you can choose between order/Federation (Peppy would stick with them), chaos/Rebels and evil/pirates. I would have Slippy follow you wherever you went but even add extra characters to the game.
How about a main stream Star Fox game with a campaign like Star Fox Command? Command's campaign is probably the most complex of any Star Fox game, and the game is mostly held back by the graphical and control limitations of the DS (that's pre-DSi and 3DS, so yeah, not great).
I want a Star Fox game that has the same open-world exploration and battles of StarLink but with classic on-rails battle segments for story missions
@@CouchSpud91that's a great idea too
@@chaoslord8918you know, I never played that one but it sounds cool
Star Fox: Fates.
Arlo: Kicks in Nintendo's doors. WE WANT A GOLDEN SON, WHO'S GONNA MAKE IT!
Nintendo Devs: (Crickets...) What's a Golden Sun?
Arlo: (Die's inside)
The long intro was worth waiting through. This is very good news if true and if it produces more IP’s coming to life or more cool new crossovers like Mario + Rabbids.
Your Wario Land example is how I’ve felt about the studio behind Fast RMX for F-Zero for a long time.
With the Switch surpassing the Wii in sales I’m really surprised we didn’t get a new Punchout, Excitebike, or Mario baseball (we got the other 3 big sports ones). All 3 of them had Wii entrees but I have no idea on their sales. Also punchout woulda been cool with the joycon HD motion capabilities. Or even having little Mac’s trainer or WiiFit trainer in the Boxing Rythm games as guest coaches (if this already exists then disregard).
Abrupt ending, but great video overall! Love your content.
A series I'd love to see come back is custom robo. I feel like it could be easy for them to get a team to work on something like that
A remastered localization of Kururin Squash would be nice. Get someone to do it, Nintendo!
I'm all kinds of game for underrepresented Nintendo franchises getting some well needed love. Donkey Kong, Star Fox, F Zero etc. I'm glad we might be seeing this, fingers crossed.
Just off last year and this january, NIntendo has already done projects with:
Arc System Works who developed Another Code Recollection
Arte Piazza who developed the Mario RPG Remake
WayForward who developed Advance Wars Reboot Camp
The ball is already rolling
It surprised when I saw arc system works in the credits for another code. Usually they focus on fighting games, so it was intriguing seeing ASW branch off and with a nintendo ip to boot.
I can appreciate remakes, but it's tiring when it's half thier output
ArcSys did the Another Code collection? THAT I didn't expect... hm. Maybe because of their experience in cel-shading? Or maybe because they just happened to be available.
The main reason why a lot of things like this dont really happen is a dirty little word called "budget". And the fact that they are beholden to their shareholders. That will always be a big factor into why things get green lit or not. Just how business is
I like how the one bookmark on that tweet is probably Arlo
I've never actually noticed how long Arlo's neck is!
The Switch era really has been excellent for bringing back underutilized IPs. Advance Wars, Another Code, Famicom Detective Club...kinda sorta Pikmin and Metroid, though not sure if they really count since those series got games last generation. Its crazy that, even with these comebacks, there's still a good number of great series waiting for their chance to see the light of day again. Personally I'm always hoping they take this golden opportunity with the Switch to make a new Punch-Out, its the Nintendo IP I've been begging to see return the most. I have some hope since they have been referencing it somewhat often in recent stuff (like Luigi's Mansion 3 and the Mario movie) and the 40th anniversary is this year. Hell even just a remaster of the Wii game would be super exciting for me. Was glad to see you use plenty of footage of Punch-Out Wii in this video lol
If they made a StarFox game, and made Fox look more like he did in Adventure/Assault, and not like his more "modern" look where they made him look like a rug..... That would be nice.
Other then the teeth, Assault version of Fox looks the best
It makes me so happy to hear an update on Arlo’s Muppet opinions.
Also, am I the only one who wants that prawn Muppet to disappear and never return? He is the culmination of everything wrong with modern Muppets for me.
You mean Pepé the King Prawn?
Disney didn't make Iron Man 1, that was before Disney bought Marvel
I like your thinking, kick down the door "We want a new Golden Sun, who wants to make it?"
On the flip side, if they wait for someone comes to them and says they really want to do something, they can be more sure it may have the passion behind it and not just competing with each other to secure a contract.
1:40 That is a cool custom figurine (amiibo???)!
1:31 The Goods (:
Hopefully something similar to Cadence of Hyrule comes along... Oddly enough I thought there was going to be more games from indie studios.
Yea me too
Yes, Disney took Iron Man, but they weren’t responsible for making him popular again, Marvel did that before being bought out
13:48 wait, what’s their source for that? They’re going to have more internal teams? That’s huge! They can develop more than 4 series.
Has anyone else seen the rumors of a Prime 4 trailer "imminent"!?
No? And if they did it would be with the next console
@urm8matt156 This is just a potential first look. Doesn't nessisarly mean the game would come out this year- and that's if the rumors are true.
I talked to someone on the team the other day and it sounds like they’re working on it insanely hard right now so I wouldn’t be surprised if
@@urm8matt156 if Prime 4 doesn't come to the current Switch, it will flop.
@jeremytewari3346 😂😂😂
8:14 "*Marvel took Iron Man . . ." Iron Man w/RDJ was a hit before Disney bought Marvel
I could definitely see utilizing 3rd party or indie studios to make games for dormant IPs. When there's empty space for Wario Land, Star Fox, and F-Zero (to name a few) I've seen indie games come out that definitely show inspiration from those games to fill those space, almost like a spiritual successor. They should revive those IPs since there's definitely a demand and passion for these games
Our desires are SO aligned. This is my first time hearing a content creator mention Eternal Darkness, on top of everything else you said in this video.
5:28 Nintendo is calculated they’ll do it when the stars align and the timing is perfect
Also a dev has to actually pitch the game
If Nintendo started green lighting everything to the point of over-saturation Arlo would be the FIRST one to criticize them.
I mean, Arlo specifically said in THIS video that he isn't saying they should just indiscriminately green-light everything. But surely it wouldn't hurt if they aimed for, like, one new game in a dormant series per year or something.
I feel they already have done a great job this gen, I just hope for next gen these collaboration with third party companies evolve into mostly new games because a lot of the stuff we saw with them this gen were remakes (AW with Way Forward, Arc System Works with Another Code, Mages with Famicom Detective Club, Square Enix with Mario RPG).
Imagine an F-zero game it the style of The Crew from Ubisoft, but also has Tekken style combat (with influence from smash bros)
"the muppets." was so great. I want that to go on for like 10 seasons.
I always get a big shot of dopamine whenever I see a new Arlo video notification.
What’s the game at 8:01 where you’re pulling the puzzles out?
I’ve been looking for it for years and can’t remember the name
I think the problem with having Nintendo's Iron Man is that Iron Man is a character with decades of stories. They had Jon Favreau and Joss Whedon (blegh), who created emotionally resonant works with those stories. They have narratives and themes and character arcs.
And Nintendo seems completely allergic to that. I think having an emotional core for the Mario movie, even if it was a very basic one built on nostalgia bait, was important.
Donkey Kong has decades of stories and he didn't get any new games for the Switch.
The last 3D DK game was on N64. But I'm not sure they are willing to give him this treatment.
Arlo, My blue friend, I hope so.
One problem I see with this idea of Nintendo just giving old IPs to smaller companies is that I could see Nintendo wanting to keep IPs in "cold storage" for a big blockbuster release later. If they eventually want to do a big blockbuster full game later there won't be as much hype due to audience exhaustion. The new pikmin wouldn't have been as exciting to as many people if there were a bunch of smaller versions along the way.
Considering Hey Pikmin happened that's just not true
I'm drawing an absolute blank. What song plays at 10:20? I want to say it's a Zelda tune but Final Fantasy is also coming to mind...
Can someone help me out with the name of the kirby song at the end of the video? I know it’s a version of Green Greens but not sure what game it’s from. It’s a bop!
Be cool if Nintendo could use some of the older IPs… like the Ice Climbers, the professor from Gyromite, maybe a new Stunt Race. Fun, quirky stuff.
What the Arlo?! That was fast!
In the early years of the switch, we got age of calamity, Mario and Rabbids, and cadence of Hyrule. This doesn't feel like they're picking up the pace. It feels like you're understating how fast the pace has been
Counter argument on Disney (and Pokémon or Sonic...): My opinion is that by releasing so much new materials for all their IP they are burning out their audiances. Many people are experiencing Star Wars and Marvel fatigue because of the never ending onslaught of releases. They might also drive themselves into bankruptcy... (EDIT: I should have finished the video before commenting X'D)
Me want Fossil Fighters on Switch! Me Want it bad!
I feel like Nintendo should buy back Rare. I know popular employees there have left since Microsoft bought them out, but I feel franchises like Banjo, Viva Piñata, and others would really thrive with Nintendo owning them.
I don't care who does it, I just NEED a modern Viva Pinata game
If anything the Disney situation is exactly WHY Nintendo is so conservative with their IPs. Disney is completely tanking the value of their biggest IPs with over saturation and generally low quality.
An idea I've had for years now is an action game called Captain Falcon which implements F-ZERO racing segments throughout the campaign. This video made me think: that would be a very good project for Platinum Games.
