Hi
@@rennythespaceguy728500p0p0
For those that have been watching this channel long enough to remember that Arlo has been doing the multiverse thing long before it was played out, congratulations. For those experiencing your first Arlo multiverse skit, welcome to the Arloverse.
What’s your favorite Arloverse skit
@Jelonzo_best_Jebby I don't know if this counts, but the death skits he did with lockstin at the launch of the switch were always my favorite
@@Jelonzo_best_JebbyThe one in the Pokemon Unite video /j
@@ethanhaynes7406 I didn't know Lockstin played Death!
I'm kinda surprised he hasn't done like, a collection of them. I guess it'd be a bit weird, since they're mostly ads, but still.
8:09 i just want to break the fourth wall here to appreciate how great a puppeteer Arlo is. Its just such a nice little touch that he was able to insert that small little bit of comedic acting with the puppet so quickly in response to his misreading.
I'd agree but I don't wanna break the suspension of disbelief because Arlo just feels like a real actual furry blue monster.
Puppet?
Wait he uses pupets? I never seen a blue monster like him use a puppet
here comes all of the idiots making the same fucking joke thinking they’re clever
Adding to this, I'd legitimately never considered before that he isn't actually reading off the laptop on the desk. Holy cow.
I'm just glad Arlo managed to pull himself away from the Pikmin buffet long enough to make this video. Thank you 🙏
Arlo gonna be motorboating his physical switch copies of 1-4

@Sam_T2000 yeah. They are releasing a physical version of the 1+2 bundle around September I think
@@Sam_T2000yeah in September for some reason it wasn't in the English direct but in every other and stores are taking preorders
literally 5 minutes ago i thought to myself “i wish there was a new arlo video right now.” this is truly splendid😨
I say this everyday 😂
@@ginpachi1same
Me too ha!
Indeed it is!
Is good times
As an animator I'm so happy to see the peanuts and capt underpants shoutouts! They were genuinely stylistically groundbreaking and did more for 3D animation than people might expect!
Loved them both, ESPECIALLY Caption Underpants since I read all the books. The movie did everything right for fans like us of the books
I was especially impressed by the captain underpants movie,it looks terrific and I was surprised how good a movie that was filled with fart jokes could be.
Penny's Big Breakaway is (in my opinion) the most "sleeper reveal" of the entire direct, and I am sad to say that. It's made by the Sonic Mania team for crying out loud!
Edit: 16:14 I agree with this hot take whole heartedly!
I think that the Penguins are what kind of turn me off to the idea. Like I get that Penny is supposed to be a foreigner who insulted the king, but the penguins look like they were made by a different design team, so there's kind of s disconnect.
Like I think she needed a more direct opponent revealed like the pirate lady from "Zach and Wiki" or mustsche girl from "A Hat in Time".
Someone for Penny to play off rather than just squads of disposable mooks.
@@tomforge614the king. Did you not see the king character?
@@pormpfspimperton6804 I mean, I guess he's closer in artstyle to Penny, but we only see him for three seconds, and "charsimatic rival" is not quite the term that comes to mind.
@@tomforge614 true. But he’ll more than likely appear throughout the story in some way.
I have to disagree big time on that one. I was ENTRANCED by the platforming and artstyle.
The lack of complaints about Pikmin 4 seems promising for the game’s sales.
The only complaint I have about Pikmin 4, and it's *very* minor, is that the onion looks less cool than the one in 3 imo
That's my only complaint lol
@@CarbonKnight9SO TRUE

Arlo, I’m a halfway audiophile who would never be caught dead with a pair of Raycons, but your ads for them are the single greatest sponsor ads I’ve ever seen. Fantastic.
agreed
Arlo is the only person who's ad's I actually don't fast forward through lol. Like I certainly don't expect everyone to do it, but I do appreciate the effort spent to create skits and lore and multiveres just for advertisements XD
@@dawnrigel4255watch tomskas ads, they're the best I've ever seen from a CZcamsr
I think that the reason they revealed the Peach game and Luigi's Mansion is to tell people that they aren't just holding onto games for whatever comes out after Switch.
Who knows maybe those games will be coming to the next console. Maybe not dark moon but the peach game could be coming on the next console
Reminder , the original gameboy had a 10 years long life span as the main hardware in it field, in a time with way more hardware progress, 89-99 is from the megadrive to the Dreamcast, 2017-2027 is PS4 pro to PS5 pro maybe? Much much smaller leap in relative capability, we can moan about the switch being weak and outdated, but it's not really that behind that Nintendo can't wait till 2027 or longer before releasing a replacement
@@LillyP-xs5qe the gameboy had the GAMEBOY color release, which was entirely backwards compatible and is arguably a new generation of console despite what Nintendo says
I'm starting to wonder if anything ever does come out after the Switch. Feeling like Nintendo will ride the Switch forever.
@@LillyP-xs5qe I mean if you're going to intentionally skip consoles like the Game Boy Color, Saturn, and PS5 to make your numbers bigger, we can do anything.

@@iBenjamin1000lol
Get it right Nintendo!
Hey- hey no we're getting Super Mario RPG, that's a good sign that they're going to bring back Mario RPGs as a whole
I really want to see a movie now where the main characters are listening to music during the climax so there's just really unfitting jazz or something over ludicrous action scenes
I mean, maybe the music was on theme, but wasn't that functionally what happened during the Quicksilver scenes in recent movies.
That is basically the plot to Baby Driver.
I mean guardians of the galaxy scratches that itch pretty well
The video game "Control" has a part like that.
not exactly that, but cowboy bebop (the anime please, not the abomination live action) have many action scenes while cool and glorious jazz playing in the background.
Mario RPG was not grindy at all. As long as you killed most of the enemies in the area, you normally have enough EXP. The only grind, is if you want to reach LV30.. but you can easily beat the final Boss around LV20-21.
Yeah exactly. It was never a problem in the original game, definitely not going to be a problem now. If anything it's going to be too easy. I'm afraid of bulldozing through it
Yea Square Enix's late SNES offereings of Chrono Trigger, Live A Live and Super Mario RPG all stand out as some of the few RPGs that are short in length and required no grinding compared to their other releases. Most people would be surprised to know games like Chrono Trigger only take 20 hours including sidequests. Same goes for Super Mario RPG, great story focused games for people to jump into if new to the genre.
I mean there are like 20 enemies per screen though
@@reidepperson8534 Not quite, but there are a few. But you only really need to fight all of them early on.
Plus there are some pretty obvious modifications to the system shown in the trailer. There's some sort of gauge that fills up, and all of these cutscenes that look like limit-breaker type moves.
I just replayed smrpg for the first time in a few years. I didn’t find it grindy at all. There are some difficulty spikes but the game is pretty forgiving overall
Unironically a spicy take salad around 3ds games would go really hard in my opinion.
"Mario Wonder looks like a mobile game."
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Also, I really just want to see the adventures of Arlo and Alternate Universe Arlo now. That's the mark of an incredible ad read.
I am still very confused about the storyline
Agreed
What do you expect. Arlo is pretty much asking people to say stupid sh*t so they can get in a video
Yeah, I was like "What kinda mobile games are YOU playing?!"
I tought the same, its probably the "excelent" shit that pops up everytime you do anything, and that the trailer made it look like a runner for the first few seconds.
I hope they bring back TONS of secrets for wonder like in super Mario world, I feel like that’s half the fun of the game and with the dream stuff there’s so much potential for weird quirky fun secrets. Also I hope the speed running scene is moderately big for this game
I don't think it will. The only reason I say that is because Mario Wonder has the same engine and the same stubborn camera as the NSMB series (and most modern 2d games). Unlike SM3 or SMW, the camera in Wonder does not seem to follow Mario upward.
SMB3/World's camera was also snapped to ground-level. But it this was context-sensitive. And as we all know, it scrolled upward with Mario when he neared the top of the screen. It also scrolled upward with Mario's jumps when you were at full sprint, incentivizing upward momentum without sacrificing the steady camera when the player was moving steadily.
But I digress. Point is, Wonderful seems to be sticking with the "modern 2D Mario"s camera and level design. I assume it's to keep everything hyperfocused and dense. They just don't want the focus anywhere else but on the finely tuned gimmick of each stage, which is arguably the best way to design a pure platforming experience, but I don't think Mario fans necessarily want *a pure platforming experience.* That's what Meatboy, Celest, and N++ is for _(that's not a diss, I absolutely love Celest and N++)_
It's also what the original Super Mario Bros was for. But there's a reason SMB3/World are still hailed as the best Mario games, and it's probably because they wedged plenty (but not an overwhelming amount) of diversions into almost every level. There was always some exploration to be had that might yield an alternative path or a rare powerup. Even the overworld was full of quirks and secrets.
I think one of the best parts about SMB3's secrets is that they are completely optional and that the game doesn't track them. Modern 2D Mario has collectables, which add some depth to levels, but on the same end I feel like it takes the wind out of secrets because they're not "secret" anymore. There's guides to find all secrets in modern Mario games and in the end, you'll have found them all if you go for 100% completion. But in SMB3 I recently found out a new secret and I wouldn't be surprised if there is still one or two that I do not know about (and trust me, I know a bloody lot about that game).
Long story short, SMB3's secrets being inconsequential helps them truly remain secrets, whereas secrets in modern 2D Marios are not really secrets but rather side-objectives.
@@GraphomiteWonder has A WAY different engine
@@hassanyakhlef4305o he has a point. The physics and camera kinda looks like the physics and camera from the NSMB games. But there’s nothing wrong with that. They were already solid and not broken so don’t fix it
So for the detective Pikachu thing, I haven't played it, but judging just by your comparisons, the lighting in the 3Ds is far more dynamic.
Yeah. Switch version looks like it's barely a step above having no lighting at all. Especially with Pikachu's hat, it actually just does not cast any kind of shadow onto his head whatsoever, whereas it visibly did in the 3DS version.
That's what I was thinking, the lighting looks so much nicer and less flat
I think Penny’s Big Breakaway would be getting more attention if it wasn’t in a direct with all these giant titles
Yeah, I'm sure the closer we get to its release the more people will come into to support it
cackled when I saw Penny Snapcube's tweet, YOU'RE SO RIGHT PENNY
THIS IS PENNY'S BIG BREAK, LET'S GOOOOO
I giggled when I saw the twitter handle, like lol Penny of course you would. Do you think Arlo was aware, or did he genuinely defend Penny's take?
Watching her reaction to the direct was so funny in that moment XD
That wasn't Penny Parker. It was a fake account.
It was @SnapsCube (with an 's'), not SpapCube, and the profile pic was a Pokemon.
Fun fact: one of the reasons Penny got a bit emotional to the announcement during the direct was that she recently got her name changed legally
As soon as I heard him read out the comment, I immediately looked up expecting it to be from Penny Parker. I was not disappointed.
Other hot take videos: yelling and spicy conflict
Arlo’s hot take videos: “Yes, I agree.”
It seemed impossible for Nintendo to justify a new 2D Mario after _Super Mario Maker 2. Wonder_ looks like the perfect answer to that, in a sense that there’s no perceivable way players could recreate the game’s mechanics.
Kinda hope it doesn’t come to Mario maker 3
@@crazycanyon3028maro maka 3(d?????????????)
While it may have seemed impossible for 2D Mario to continue after Mario Maker, remember that Mario Maker needed an active player base to be great. I feel like it’s becoming more and more dead now, so going back to new base 2D Mario games is now possible for Nintendo.
A "crafted by professional designers" 2D Mario game will always be preferable to me than having to sort through mountains of community created crap to find good levels to play.
Especially after considering that Super Mario Maker 2 had a $60 MSRP but was unusable without also paying $20 a year for Nintendo Online. Bleh.
You can't make all of SMB3 or world in MM2 either. It has nothing to do with un replicatable mechanics.
The only thing that can't be easily added to mario maker is the wonder flower & what was in that trailer was not nearly diverse or unpredictable enough that it couldn't be simplified for a player to use in mario maker
my biggest grudge with the direct is the fact that Nintendo announced dark moon on the switch even though they didn't put the first game on switch
Wait I thought they were remaking 1 did I miss something completely in the trailer that's lame.
@@Ghost-ul8eu yeah during the direct for a second I thought it was the first game but was a bit disappointed its not bad to get dark moon it would just make more sense if it released in order
@@Gloob7046 Well I mean LM3 did release on the Switch first so maybe they’re going in BACKWARDS order.
@@Gloob7046 luigi's mantion remake from 3DS walks in:
@Gloob7046 It seems like it's only getting a very light touch-up. It could easily be the case that Next Level have been working on a Metroid Prime type of remaster of the first game, and then Nintendo told them to just spruce up the second game as well while they're at it.
Obviously a light visual upgrade doesn't take as much time as a full remake, so we're getting the Luigi's Mansion 2 first, and then maybe the Luigi's Mansion 1 remake will launch on the next console.
“Wonder looks like a mobile game”
Okay that’s enough internet for today (local time in Australia 10am)
For the comment with the Mario wonder characters being on a 45 degree angle, it’s weird “logically” but it’s actually a standard animation trick to keep characters at what is called 3/4 front as often as possible because profile and straight on views are way less appealing. Totally get that it seems weird if you think about it hard, but honestly it means you see the character so much more and it really pushes depth and 3D rather than flatness.
WarioWare Get it Together was already weird take on WarioWare, so I think it makes sense to have a safer, Smooth Moves-esque game too. I do wish it was Wario Land, but I'm still excited for more WarioWare.
Also, maybe I'm in the minority, but I'm a sucker for minimalist UIs. They look so clean!
Yeah the last mainline traditional warioware was smooth moves. Gold kinda counts but was primarily a old minigame compilation with just a few new ones
@@liamlennon3316 Why isn’t “GIT” mainline tho?
I'll be honest, I enjoyed the demo for Get it Together more than the actual full game. I probably have more play time in the full game because well beating the story takes a bit, but it's close ^^'. I'm super excited about move it though, this finally feels like a true Warioware game on switch to me
yeah, exactly. Get it together was an experimental take on the WW series. It changed a lot the approach to the games and the gimmick is not motion controls or touch controls, the gimmick is how YOU control. I think it was brilliant.
The person irritated about the character design in Mario Wonder having a 2.5D perspective sounds like they would hate theatre. And I do not trust people who hate theatre. 😂
About the UI thing, I am not a Super Mario RPG expert, I don't know how much power Nintendo really had over that game, and I don't know how much power they have over this remake, but as a Square Enix fan, that feels like a Square Enix thing. Rereleasing a beloved game, but then completely messing up the UI is very in character for them.
It's a Nintendo thing too. It's the same thing for the Pikmin and especially the Mario Party series, just off of the top of my head. Previous games would always have fun and stylish UIs, whereas modern titles on the Switch are stuck with really plain, boring, standardized UI design.
Although, from what I've seen of the original SMRPG UI, that was actually mostly pretty plain as well.
16:13 the person that said "Penny's big breakaway" was the best game of the direct was named Penny. I think that is why they were saying that
I think there's something to be said for teaser trailers. Sure it would have been nice to see more of the Peach game, but I like knowing they're working on something and there'll be more info later. Kind of like how there was one splash screen for Metroid Prime 4 and everyone freaked out.
Super Mario RPG was never grindy to begin with. You are always able to comfortably beat whatever bosses you came into contact with off of just what you've encountered thus far as long as you use the mechanics properly, such as timed blocks and hits, and proper spell usage.
Hell, in the end the game even gives you super armor and a super weapon that makes it near impossible for one of your characters to die... so I don't know where that take is coming from.
6:40 here's the thing about 2d Mario. The "next evolution" of that type of flagpole objective kinda game was 3d world. I get what they're saying in that it looks very similar to a new super Mario bros game but that next step was something we already got, and only appreciated in hindsight.
Now I want an Arlo short film about the 2 Arlos going on that adventure in the begining.
It could be similar to NB Originals
We have oddly similar pfp's lol
@@henryhere Hello there, General Kenobi. Sorry if that's not what your skin actually is, it just looks like that to me.
@@octanproductions6492 I guess XD. It's me
The 3/4ths style can also be found in most smash bros ultimate characters, character that use weapons like a sword tend to not adhere to this detail for obvious reasons but it's one of those nintendo polish things. i think its cool and i love the designs in wonder
Idk, I think for the most part the original Mario RPG aged pretty well already, so an update would make quite accessible in my mind. Plus it's made by Square, so it has that going for it.
I was literally watching your last Spicy Take Salad two seconds ago thinking you should make more!
Gotta be my favorite entry into the alternative universe saga so far.
Super Mario RPG is the antithesis of a "grindy" rpg. You never need to grind. The game is immaculately paced. I believe some game developers (I don't remember precisely who) were tasked with playing it to see an example of how to make a quality RPG.
It's going to sell like crazy.
I could see how Wonder's UI would be reminiscent of a mobile game
only after seeing that tweet I super agree, the fonts are goofy
Ok yeah I agree about that but the rest of the game does NOT look like a mobile game at all
Literally thought it was Super mario Run sequal until they explained otherwise. Between the scoring system that appeared after successful hits and the color pallet, the only difference besides power ups was the full control of the party
@@KitCloud1 or your blind
@@sahaprocks7751 I mean I'll conceded that's an exaggeration, but I stand by my impression. It's New soup with extra steps and a new coat of paint
17:17 - Pretty sure they revealed the new Peach game and Luigi's Mansion 2 game as early as they did because they wanted to ride the Mario Movie hype. That movie will drive Switch sales especially if these characters are getting new games. With it being the second highest grossing animated film of all time (as of this post), striking while the iron is hot is a good strategy. If not for the movie's recent success at the box office, I would otherwise agree they should have waited till they had more to show.
I totally agree that the UI for the Super Mario RPG remake looks exceedingly bland, and I would love for them to stylize it to match the game. Something akin to, as Arlo mentioned, the Mario and Luigi games did to match their own style. However I feel inclined to point out that the original game didn't exactly have the most stellar of UIs either - in fact I would say that the new UI , although the worse of the two, is still rather similar in terms of lack of appeal.
I think the reason they announced the peach game so early is because of the Mario movie and discussion around princess peach, they didn't want to announce the game in a few months and for people to think they were reacting to bad press.
I just caught that the hot take about Penny's Big Breakaway was made by SnapsCube... who is named Penny. The whole hot take is based on the fact that she shares her name with the protagonist; she even went crazy over it during her reaction.
Spicy take on farm games: I love that we keep getting more farming and cozy games that build and innovate the genre. I love stardew valley but also love trying new styles and mechanics.
Looking at those side-by-side comparisons for Detective Pikachu, I think the big difference is the lighting. The 3DS screenshots have better contrast and warmer colors to make it look more inviting.
Not sure if it’s a hot take, but I feel like it could be. I’m glad Pokémon is only getting SV DLC and a spin off sequel this year; I’ve loved the last couple games, but they *DESPERATELY* needed more development time. If Pokémon decides to take it a little easier this year (kinda) I’ll be happy so we can get better games in the future
Agreed! I wish they could allow themselves more time to perfect each game and help them achieve their ultimate potential
I'm not sure who are the ones setting these ridiculous yearly deadlines, but imagine the beautiful games we'd get if they just decided to give the games the time in the oven they deserve.
I wouldn't say it's a hot take at all, feels like it's the only take people should have.
@@tkfarms7882It feels like they get 95% there--nice new species, good characters, good story (with an absolutely gut-wrenching ending)--but they forgot to play test
@@tkfarms7882given that Pokémon is (basically) the largest brand and that profits increase every time a new game is released, I don’t think the higher ups care enough to let the games bake fully if people keep buying into them.
We need a movie about the Raycon and Arlo multiverse. I need the lore.
Better call matpat
*Better call Saul theme starts playing*
Arlo really should upload this videos at least twice a month if not more, I love them
The one thing i dislike about sonic side scrollers is that the camera is 100% fixed on the character. i truly believe that a 5%-10% lag and extending towards the moving direction would make the games feel a lot smoother
Wow, cell phone games must be waaaaay better than I thought
One thing that I think is overlooked in the 45 degree angle discussion for Super Mario Bros Wonder is that it isn't the first 2d mario game to do it, Super Mario World you can visibly (and easily) see both of Mario's eyes when he is completely profile to the camera, so it's nothing new. It's only when Mario is riding yoshi in that game that he is completely facing sideways and you're only able to see one of his eyes.
Yeah and in Super Mario Bros. Wonder when they jump while in full run speed they do the same jump you would in Super Mario World
It's also not the first time Nintendo's done something like this. _The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds_ has its characters and objects tilted to face the camera so it wouldn't look so boring.
Yo same pfp!
@@hipolitoalvarado Dry Bones will always be the best
@@stoopybutt1085 yes
The Luigi's Mansion series is like i put 3 really good burgers in front of you
One has to be the best and one has to be worst but that doesnt mean its bad
A new Arlo vid is like a warm hug. And I needed a hug today.
I think the reason they showed the Peach and Luigi's mansion games is because it was the first direct since the Mario movie so probably their biggest Mario crowd watching
These are such a treat to watch! I’m glad these have become an Arlo staple!
bro, smooth moves was amazing and only used a basic wii remote (for the most part) which didn't even have gyro controls (let alone any other fancy feature that the joycons have). im excited that we're finally getting a fuller realization of that game, using 2 joycons which have way more dimensionality than a wiimote. it's nice to know that they're not shying away from it just because we already had something like it in the past. i thought that's a perspective we fear nintendo to have with their ips (looking at paper mario, star fox, f-zero, earthbound)
16:24 surprise Snapscube cameo! Love her videos/streams!
Spicy take salad is one of Arlo's best series. Change my mind
No
The big problem with DPR’s graphics is the lighting and polish. On the 3DS, Pikachu has this level of fluidity that is absent in the new game.
Both of these things are pretty unlikely, but I really want to be able to switch Mario out of the party in the Mario RPG remake and have different physics for every character in Mario Wonder. Particularly the latter because that was a huge selling point for the 3D Land/World Games and it would be weird to play as Peach/Daisy without being able to hover
Wario Ware Smooth Moves sequel is literally the most excited I have been for Wario Ware since Smooth Moves
I agree with the first take actually. With a quick glance, and not being knowing Mario too much, I could see Wonder looking like a mobile game. The kind with a big budget, good animations and slick, smooth 3D graphics.
As a long time Mario fan though, that never crossed my mind. This just looks like the next 2D Mario installment on the latest Nintendo console, and it's building up to be amazing so far.
The amount of unnecessary lore Arlo adds to his Raycon sponsorships is astounding yet commendable
I feel like people just say stuff to be controversial instead of what they actually think or believe.
I feel like that’s just the Nintendo fandom in particular, primarily the Mario fandom side.
I hate people call it the stardew valley pie when it is the harvest moon pie
When there hasn't been a decent harvest moon game in quite a while and stardew valley history all the high points for the style I think it's pretty reasonable to make stardew valley the benchmark
I don’t understand the “WarioWare is on autopilot” take when there are a surprising number of people who don’t even consider “Get It Together” a mainline game because it apparently deviated too far from the series’ formula. Even if the game is good, stray too far and you’ll inevitably get people who say “it’s a good game, but not a good [series] game.” Deviate too much and suddenly you’re a gimmicky spinoff that no one asked for.
Thank you for reminding me of the existence of Penny's Big Breakaway, it has just entered my wish list.
I think this is my favorite type of content on your channel. Great work, Arlo.
The reason i LIKE how Wonder displays character at that angle, is because it looks like the older mario games.
Go play Super Mario Bros 2 Super Mario Bros 3.. Super Mario World. They're mimicking that.
He thinks it looks like a cell phone game because he watched it on his cell phone, LOL
One of the more interesting sponsor introductions you’ve done, and that’s saying something!! Haha
2:15 I think I get what he means. He’s saying that what they show is very reminiscent of cellphone games, like the crown not being a physical object or the world map only showing the level you’re standing on or how you can no longer boost or carry other players. Those are all changes that would be necessary if it was ported to mobile. Except they did it anyway.
I have that same UI issue with Mario Party. Look at the menus in older Mario Party games and they look so much more fun and vibrant than Superstars.
I'm like 90% sure that Dark Moon actually outsold Link Between Worlds by like 2 million copies.
I don't agree with WarioWare being on autopilot at all. The last WarioWare game was super different, and it was an amazing change of pace. I do agree that WarioWare Move It! isn't very exciting, though.
Edit: Just wanna say that I really love these vids! I like to read an opinion, pause and think about it myself, then unpause to see what Arlo has to say. Very fun!
I haven‘t watched the first „direct comments“ video yet, but i loved this one.
Do another next time, good series.
Also the timing of the video,at least in my eyes, is brilliant. The direct aired what, 2-3 weeks ago now? Its a great reminder of what we should be hyped for and just gives new stuff to think about when we are cooled off from our post-direct hypephase you know?
20:45 ohh why did he mention a link between worlds port?! I hadn’t thought of that, I need it now!! I love a link between worlds!

7:04 I had to rewatch a couple minutes because I was too busy being excited about the Twinleaf Town music being in the video
10:55 „i get it, a big open world game can‘t look better“
*coughs in totk*
My initial impression of Mario Wonder was also that it looked too... clean. Like a mobile game. The visuals have grown on me since however and are admittedly a big improvement over the previous few 2D Mario games.
I was just going through the raycon saga over again, glad to see there's a new inclusion.
I can’t ever skip the Raycon ads they’re literally too entertaining
My new favorite bit by Arlo!! Keep those spicy salads coming!!
For Wonder, the choices were a radical modernization, or going wierd. they went wierd. and i think it was the better choice for the franchise
I love Warioware but I was really hoping the team would make another rhythm heaven first🥲
5:38 i think the big reason why we are seeing so many farming sims right now is that after stardew valley a lot of indie studios went "people want more of this and there isn't that many of them. Let's make one".
Flash forward to now, and all those indie studios are now ready to show off their games... Only to realize that everyone else had the same idea
Having not played the games but just looking at the pictures you showed, the 3DS Detective Pickachu lookes like it has more expressive and involved shading and lighting while Pickachu looks very rubbery and one shade of yellow in all the new game footage you had.
"Why make more farming sims if Stardew Valley exists" is so reductive to me. Its like saying "Why make more platformers when Mario exists"
Penny's Big Breakaway is a game that I keep forgetting about. which sucks because it looks really good.
Thanks for giving us Content!!!! we will always support u Arlo!
Arlo: "Where's Wario Land?"
Well Arlo, perhaps I could interest you in our lord and savior Pizza Tower?
Yes, Wario Land needs to comeback! And, have Waluigi in it
Wario Land shake it sold poorly, that’s why
I wonder if they decided to port Luigi's mansion dark moon because they're working on a new Luigi's Mansion game and want to use it to build excitment around the franchise?
Watching Arlo always makes me feel at ease :)) just genuinely a respectfull and friendly gremlin
I'm really excited for your Tears of the Kingdom review, whenever it comes out
I'm begging for a big fat review of tears of the kingdom
