Arlo's Prime 4 Reaction: A scream 7 years in the making
Remember how chill he was at Pikmin 4? This guy hasn't even reviewed the game yet! I can't believe him!
100% a Switch 2 game, but they can't say it hehehe
So happy for arlo. We know he's been waiting for this game for years!
7 years? Try 18, it'll be 18 years since Prime 3's release next year when we get Prime 4.
@@Shinyolo my bet is on dual release. Put it on both systems, cover all the bases, giving Switch 1 a good sendoff but starting Switch 2 off strong.
"IT'S A ZELDA GAME!!! The 2D Zelda is a ZELDA GAME!"
Imagine knowing almost nothing about the Zelda franchise and seeing/hearing this out of context 😂.
It's a PEACH GAME!! The new Peach Bros. Game is a PEACH GAME!!!
😂
It makes me think they should make a Kid Icarus entry where you play as Icarus. It could be like an origin story of angels or something.
My girlfriend was very confused as well when i kept repeating this to her
Now we need a metroid game where you play as a metroid
oh my god mario and luigi! it’s a mario and luigi game!
41:08 don’t click here if you are scared of green text
AAH
It appears Arlo is
AAHHG
My grandma died to green text 🥲
>Be Metroid Prime 4
The "Mario and Luigi" art style is so iconic that everyone knew exactly what it was the moment Luigi popped on screen.
I'm so glad they can embrace it now that they're not limited by hardware!
It's the lack of blue iris
The only thing that could have made it more obvious is if Luigi's striped socks got shown
Honestly, it took me a while cause i look at the Art so rarely
I honestly think the sound of them babbling gibberish is why people recognized it
Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario TTYD, and Mario and Luigi in a span of a year is insane
it’s the year of arlo it seems
It is good to be a Mario RPG fan this year.
Between these games releasing in quick succession, the boundless imagination of Super Mario Wonder, and the survey asking about specific RPG mechanics, I'm pretty excited for the future of Mario in general, both in RPGs and mainline games. We'll have to wait and see of course, but I have a feeling we're entering into a very creative era for the Mario franchise.
Year of the Mario RPG
If only they were on a console that could do them justice, hopefully they all work on Yuzu.
As soon as the green text appeared my first thought was “arlo is probably having a heart attack right now” it’s finally here
We won. After 8 long years, we finally won.
Literally same I raced to this video to see if he was tripping out
After I had my own heart attack my next thought was of Arlo 🤣
i nearly had a heart attack myself, wasn't expecting the peregrine falcon noise XD
Is this the man who's afraid of green letters
What does that mean
This poor blue man got jumpscared by the green letters and you bully him. For shame.
@@Tinybutfearless someone retweeted his Twitter post of a sneak peak of his Prime 4 reaction with the title "guy who is really scared of green text watching the Nintendo Direct". It's actually how I found this video
@@tainoadarhutchinson8671 That's fucking hilarious
And Pikmin titles use green letters too
I love how they essentially took the artstyle from the box arts and the few sprites in the 3ds games that weren’t crunched down to a low resolution for the new Mario and Luigi game
The artsyle looks like it's based on the Giant battles from Dream Team.
i'm sure that's the case but i think they already did that for the 3d models in dream team and just updated those ones
(or maybe even just changed the model's shaders)
looks amazing tho for sure
@@bowserjrsoutsidestory7125 yeah, it also reminds me of some of the less compressed sprites from the 3ds games(luiginary works, the many Luigi parts in dreams deep)
Based Spark pfp, also I love the Mario e Luigi artstyle. The animations of this new game make up for the charm of the old sprites
@@bowserjrsoutsidestory7125dream team used sprites, not models. There were just a lot to provide the illusion of a model.
This feels like the biggest apology from Nintendo to Arlo specifically.
No new 2D Metroid? Metroid Dread
Paper Mario not going in the direction he wants? TTYD remake
10 years without Pikmin? Pikmin 4
7 years including the 5 years of restarted development of waiting for Metroid Prime 4? Metroid Prime 4 in this direct
I think you should accept their apology Arlo
It’s even better for people like me who love the exact same franchises, it’s heaven lol
lol fr
Don't forget 9 years without an M&L game and now a new one is coming
Don't forget no 2D Zelda in 11 years. Someone over at Nintendo has been watching this channel closely.
@@alexsanders37 And not only a 2d Zelda game. It's a 2d ZELDA game. Top tier direct imo
Nintendo: *Shows Metroid Prime 4 Gameplay*
Arlo: *Inhuman demonic screeches*
Well he is a monsterman so yeah
@@BJGvideos imagining his arms flailing like kermit
He is of the Muppet Clan.
Ganon got him
Arlo: "E.M.M.I Needle Noises"
41:09 In space, everyone can hear Arlo scream.
Frieza: ...the Devil is that noise...?
I believe what I said when watching was "I can hear Arlo from here."
Nintendo basically revived three of Mario’s most popular spin-off RPGs in less than a year. What a time to be alive!
He only had 3 spin-off RPGs
@@Aswoop9000 and theyre all back, baby!
also, thats not true. he had super mario RPG (legend of the seven stars), paper mario series, mario & luigi series, and mario + rabbids series. so 4. the last of those is pretty recent, so it never even really had time to die.
Nintendo REALLY wants you to remember that good Mario Universe stories exist.
@@NotAGoodUsername360 rpg and thousand year door were just alright paper Mario origami had a better story
@@Aswoop9000 quite possible! I haven't looked because I don't like the way the gameplay has gone, and even so those two games have pretty nice stories ^^
Arlo was the first person I thought when seeing the reveal at the end!
Me too
Same
Yep
He barely talks about Metroid
I've reached the point where I always think of Arlo during Directs.
I'm so relieved thay Mario & Luigi and Madio Party were actually NEW and not remakes
I'm getting both of them
The Mario Party worried me for a sec when I saw "Super Mario Party" ngl
@@BaconNukeThe boards felt so much more full of life, and I was wondering why it felt that, and then I realized it was because the spaces weren't all squares for that team mode
Ah yes
“*M A D I O*”
Seeing a new Mario & Luigi is to me, what seeing pikmin 4 is to arlo
Same bro, Nintendo is cooking rn
Same
I thought it was dead and buried, but MA BOIS STILL BREATHE 🥹
For me, that would be seeing a new Banjo-Kazooie game. Whether it's a brand new game or a remaster.
Agreed. But to be fair, I was also hyped when I found out that Goat Sim 3 was getting a DLC (the original was my childhood game)
I think it really fits their whole "Triforce of Wisdom" theme to make the Zelda game even more about puzzles than usual. And more specifically, about seeing the artificial limits of Zelda puzzles and say "actually, I have a different solution". I think they learned a lot from BotW and TotK
Another comment says it seems like they learned from the item duplication glitch
I'm so happy that they're improving their games every new releases. More AAA need to be like nintendo.
Maybe one day, we'll get something totally out of left field and get a game with Ganon as the protagonist to give us Triforce-of-Power-style gameplay
@@condor6327 He was a warlock skin in Diablo 3 but well...Blizzard is more evil than Ganondorf could ever be so ehhhhh. And you could play as him for a bit in Hyrule Warriors but the story is still about defeating him. A full on villain protag game would be phenomenal. What would it be called? Something "of Power" if this keeps going.
I'm so amazed that they took the creativity of Wild and said "make Grezzo do this."
Grezzo finally gets the chance to make a NEW game than just a remake, and they sure are stepping up.
Today is a good day to be a Metroid fan.
This latter half of the Switches life span has been a good time to be a Metroid fan to be honest.
First 2D Metroid sequel after 19 years, and the first Metroid Prime sequel after 17 years. And now we're getting both within such a short time span.
@@trashaimgamer7822don't forget Prime 1 Remastered and Fusion and Zero Mission on NSO!
Also Super Metroid
@@prof.laytonfan764and Dread. Gosh so many Metroid games!!
Today is also a good day to be a Mario and Luigi fan.
Hearing Arlo being happy about Prime 4 makes me smile
maybe the real Metroid prime 4 was the friends we made along the way
You mean it was the Metroids we Primed along the way
That only applies to things that don't happen. Metroid Prime 4 is real baby!
this doesnt make any sense, seeing as how the game is real
@@Bluebomb716*Insert Vine Boom*
stop
If I wasn’t at college watching this direct, I would’ve literally fucking screamed during the reveals of M&L Brothership and MP4
@YaqubGamesWell that depends if by "at college" they mean "in a dorm room" or "actively in a classroom setting". Big difference.
I was at work, and hid myself to watch the Direct, and I still just screamed blissfully, and revealed myself. Was worth it.
i'm glad i was home when i watched this direct. the noises i made were NOT human
“The 2D Zelda is a ZELDA game” was literally my exact reaction
that was everyones reaction. The devs said that the next zelda wouldn't have a playable zelda but they were lying.
I ran across the office to scream “PLAYABLE ZELDA” at my coworker
Now we need a 3D Zelda game.
Missed opportunity to call it legend of link
“The 2D Zelda is a Zelda game” is a hilarious quote for me.
Text on black background: "Cosmic Year-"
Arlo: [intense Pavlovian reaction]
Piccolo: Damn you, Pavlov!
They really saw all the duplication glitches in Tears of the Kingdom and thought wait.. this could be a real ability 😂 so excited for Zelda!
It's like a hyper Cane of Somaria.
TOTK players: “What if we just build a really big bridge?”
Zelda team: “So what we want you to do is build a really big bridge.”
27:40 The GASP when he figured out that Zelda was the protagonist.
It was already leaked that was going to happen.
welp. so much for them "phoning it in" this year. Also, just for those who dont understand, Marvel and Capcom essentially just localized their Mother 3. Thats how huge that collection is.
If only we actually got Mother 3 localized.. like.. we know it exists on online for Japan so it's not like people are asking for something that isn't even on that set of online yet...
@@BaconNukeThe issue is the demands over the music, which ripped off a lot of other tracks and would likely get NoA smacked with a lawsuit, but they've been told that they can't alter the music. That's why they sort of hard winked at the fan translation.
@@BJGvideos I read somewhere Nintendo tried releasing the Mother 3 soundtrack on iTunes to see how feasible it would be to release Mother 3 in the west, but ithe soundtrack got taken down because of copyright issues.
@@BJGvideos What's the issue with the music? I.. legit have no idea what the issue could be
And I have never seen anywhere where they would have "hard winked" at fan translation stuff
@@BaconNuke What I've always heard is that the music uses several unauthorized motifs from other songs. And NoA sort of approved the fan version in an under the table unofficial way because of that
I've been waiting for this reaction for 7 years
every time i see one of his reactions i feel like a parent seeing their child get a new console for christmas
@@cubinel Arlo really is the kid in the N64 commercial
Oh my gosh, I just felt the years pass me by... I was in college when Arlo freaked out about this in 2017, and now I'm living in another country and a new father. It feels like not that long ago though.
@@TayoEXE I got my Switch in 2018, it was my first Nintendo console (I have gone back since to older consoles) and I was in 5th grade, no I'm almost in the final year of high school, it's about a third of my life.
So yeah I was a bit exaggerating when I said 7 years, but I'm sure it's true for others
The Dread reaction helped with the wait
choosing this direct to be the first he's streamed was the best decision he's ever made
You can sum up this Nintendo Direct with the phrase “Oops! All bangers!”
I screamed when I saw the Mario & Luigi logo. Nobody expected it to return after Alphadream had filed for bankruptcy. To see a new installment -- a fully 3D one at! Is mind blowing.
I know I’m in the minority here, but the biggest announcement for me was the Ace Attorney announcement. Another JP only game gets localized, and we now have every Ace Attorney game (minus the Professor Layton crossover) on the Switch. Huge W.
Same. While I miss the fan translation, which was absolutely incredible, but it is still one of my favourite games of all time and I cannot wait for more people to play it. Also, since there's now no longer any Japan exclusives, the next step has got to be AA7
Yeah, we’re all here for the Metroid Prime reaction
My first big foray into Gaming News and Discussions was the E3 presentation where Nintendo announced Prime 4 (and Arlo’s iconic reaction). It’s wild to see it all come full circle like this.
Weird because my first ever hearing of E3 Presentations was back in the mid to late 2000s, when Nintendo introduce the revived Nintendo Revolution console (which later became the "Nintendo Wii") and the rumor of Mario Kart Wii getting up to 32+ players all in one race (or as I saw it as, 32 players playing locally on one Mario Kart game) was wildly shocking to hear that, but it ended up being 12 racers for both local and online racing events instead of 16 or more. In terms of Arlo though, I didn't discover him until 2017/2018 when I came across his Nintendo Direct back in 2017 and such. So yeah, it feels as if it's going to start with a want/promise, and end with getting the product you wished for in return.
Arlo's frame 1 yelp at the Prime 4 reveal made fall out of my chair XD
He knew it was Metroid immediately. Didn't even need to wait for the word "federation" to appear.
I thought the poor guy let out the most perfectly timed Sneeze XD
I honestly love the idea of 2D Zeldas having Zelda as the main character. 2D Zeldas lend themselves very well to puzzle heavy designs. And since Zelda is the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom, it just makes sense that her games would be puzzle heavy!
Out of context hearing Arlo yell, "It's a Zelda game!" is so funny!
I screamed so much for Mario and Luigi that I actually got a sore throat. im so happy this series means so much to me 😭😭😭😭 ALSO NEW ZELDA AND METROID PRIME 4 TRAILER THEY COOOOOOOKED
Cocked😂 lol, I agree this direct was was awesooomeeee
Oh buddy, the moment I saw the shading and the style, I knew right away it was another Mario & Luigi game, but the moment I saw the beginning trailer, I wasn't sure if it was a new game or some mention a remake of the first game and such...But yeah, it's the sixth installment in this series (which is weird considering I forgot about the other three games prior to Mario & Luigi Brothership (aka Mario & Luigi RPG 6 in Japan).
I saw Metroid and I knew I had to see Arlo's reaction to it
We got so fucking spoiled this direct
I'm sad I don't feel this way u.u
I only kinda liked darkest dungeon and mario party but I didn't see Pauline or PomPom in the trailer so I don't think I'll enjoy it as much
Metroid Prime 4 teaser starts
"Cosmic-"
Arlo: *Screams of an Overjoyed blue monster thing*
I was like "wait what does the Cosmic Year thing again" because I'm not used to actually marking years in this series.
And the second line hit and I had to hold back screaming cause people were sleeping.
Mario and luigi with original characters? Oh we're so BACK!
“That was our first look at Metroid prime 4” yeah after SEVEN FUCKING YEARS
my entire generation went from middle school to post-secondary in that time period 😭
(i couldn’t be happier that it is actually REAL!!)
@@will__mem9rno I’m older but I was 20 when prime 4 was announced and I’m almost 27 now
Gee I wonder if any particular announcement made Arlo excited.
I don’t know, I couldn’t really tell. Seemed like normal reactions to me
Arlo calling out a Tally Hall reference during the marvel vs capcom trailer made all 5 of us fans happy lol
I completely forgot Arlo is a tally hall fan lol
@@bryztoe8754 I didn’t even know. I was like “ yo that’s my favorite song off that album”
@@DJGURR same, was not expecting a tally hall reference out of nowhere lmao
He's got good taste
*during Mario & Luigi reveal*
“Perfect game at the end of the Switch’s life.”
Nintendo: 😏
I really don't play any of these games but Arlo's REACTION to them keeps me coming back :)
Oh totally. Even with series I personally don't have an interest in, I love knowing that people are happy for these. And especially Metroid since I know how much the fans have been waiting.
That ending was truly a "pssshshhaaaslabadoobadaah!" moment for Arlo.
Between Arlo with MP4 and Maximilian with MvC Collection... Today was a good day
Arlos scream at the reveal of the green text for Prime 4 scared me. I was in another tab and thought a weird ad had started playing! XD
I truly cannot believe the sounds that came out of Arlo in that final reveal. Now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna replay it 15 times more
Just FYI, I checked the trailer video, yes, it does indeed actually say in the description it’s releasing on Nintendo Switch, so take that as you will.
It's gotta be a dual release though, right? I plan on skipping the Switch version and going straight to the Switch 2 version.
@@justineld4905 Same. They definitely delayed the reveal because it's a cross-gen title.
bro look at the graphics
no way it’s not cross-gen
and it didn’t have a release date other than “2025”
41:09 The moment where Arlo's hype and screams were at their... heh, prime!
YOU'RE ALIVE!!! YOU DIDN'T GET A STROKE! Ahh I'm so relieved...
I’m watching One Piece and this perfectly mirrors a moment from an episode I recently watched.
“You didn’t die from seeing something you love?!?! It’s a miracle!!!”
My first exposure to this channel was arlos reaction to the teaser in a compilation vid. This feels like an anniversary or something
I love how we're all just waiting for this Prime 4 reaction.
Metroid Prime 4 happens.
Arlo: *Unintelligible Muppet Noises intensify*
Arlo’s Prime 4 reaction is legendary
The 2D Zelda is a Zelda game, this is a situation where the floor is NOT made out of floor.
I’m glad Arlo was also excited for The New Denpa Men because that was probably the first time I’ve screamed in a Direct since Octo Expansion
I've seen a couple people (those being, you and Arlo) get excited for the Denpa Men thing, but the trailer didn't even adequately convey to me what the deal is with it, let alone sell me on it. What the heck are Men of Denpa and why are you so excited to see them?
@@Nyahahameha Mainly the fact that they’re back and I never thought I’d see them again
It’s not that super amazing of a game, but it’s still a great time, I’m really nostalgic for it, and I just didn’t expect it AT ALL
Denpa Men annoyed me tbh, thought it was Tomodachi Life and got super hyped for a second, only to be let down
@@diabeticman2194 A lot of people seemed to have that same reaction
It always makes me SO happy watching people get the same joy I did when watching the metroid announcment!
These last few hours I’ve just been like:
“Where is Arlo?”
“Is he safe?”
“Is he alright?”
"I'm afraid...in your excitement...you killed him."
Finally someone is motivating Arlo to turn the volume up so you can actually hear the presentation.
I've watched a lot of reactions to this direct, and Arlo is the first to inform me that Denpamen is not a new thing.
dude a ton of your predictions were correct
sometimes I just come looking for some Arlo if I want to smile. never fails
I love the double dash battle music. Also! CONGRATULATIONS ON METROID PRIME! WERE SO HAPPY!
I think Arlo was the only streamer excited for denpamen. I love that series!
Can we talk about the little bit of soundtrack in the Metroid Prime 4 trailer when it panned across that world expanse? Glorious.
It brought tears to my eyes. That was gorgeous.
I watched the direct straight from the Nintendo channel. Then, I came here to re-watch the whole thing just to hear Arlo lose his mind over and over and over again. It was totally worth it.
My guess is that Metroid Prime 4 is going to be a launch title for the next console.
I'm glad that you reuploaded this. I was quite sad when I tied to click on the livestream and it was private.
The livestream VODs are on his other channel ArloPlays
The Tally Hall reference at 24:30 did not go unnoticed, btw
was gonna point out the same thing lol
RUclipsrs: "Nintendo is running out of gas, no new big games at the end of the Switch life cycle."
Nintendo: "Omai wo Shinderu!"
Those little Arlo-cries when MP4 started was just gold (already knowing what they were going to show), awesome :).
Your reaction to Metroid Prime 4 was basically my reaction to Mario & Luigi Brothership lmao
Came here to see his reaction to Metroid Prime 4
once the metroid prime 4 cosmic year 20x9 galactic federation research facility was show
if you listen close you can hear arlo hype scream
When you didn't upload for a couple of hours, I was worried you died of excitement. 😂😅
Hyped for full metal Mario and Luigi brothership or whatever
They managed to instantly make me remember prime 3, it has a extremely similar feeling in the style and setup, the fights in the background are probably more a nod to dread, which I also like.
2025 is shaping up to be an absolute landmark year for the entire industry.
30:58 "Ooh, Deku Scrub." DEKU SCRUB!!! The last time we saw one of those in a mainline Zelda was Minish Cap, which came out in 2004! THEY'VE BEEN MISSING FOR 20 YEARS!!!
Arlo hit the ceiling when the Metroid announcement came on lol
Now that I think about it Arlo had a feast when it came to the switch's lifetime with Pikmin 4, Metroid Dread, and now Metroid Prime 4 all finally becoming a reality.
Green Text appears
Arlo: “screams” (Transforms into bee)
>Insert Bee Movie script
The Zelda team decided to keep the mindset of "If it looks dumb but gets the job done, it's not dumb" TOTK mentality.
Oh it's long before that. This is the series where you can take a Chain Chomp for a walk, ride a Beyblade into battle, and have to prove you're an adult to drink milk.
I wish we saw his Puppet during these Reactions. Would've been funny to see it Flail Around during the Metroid Part.
First rule of Nintendo Directs: Always expect the unexpected, even AFTER you account for the unexpected.
I came just for Arlo's Prime 4 reaction, and it did not disappoint 😂
27:05 They really should've called it The Legend of Link: The Missing Link
To be fair, the old cartoon actually used the latter title on an episode where Link gets turned into a ghost and Zelda has to do all the work herself while he annoys the living hell out of her.
All because his own sword blast got reflected back at him.
...Also, that cartoon invented Shield Surfing.
27:43 when Arlo is just frantically saying “it’s a Zelda game!!! 🤩🤩🤩” I didn’t understand what he meant at first lol
I cannot tell you how happy I am about Donkey Kong Country HD . This game I have been waiting for to come to switch for many years
I thought his desk was gonna come tumbling down after prime 4’s announcement
Mario and Luigi, Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and finally... Metriod Prime 4. Arlo is a happy, happy little monster.
"AHHHH" ~ Arlo
That Zelda announcement made me so giddy! I haven't been so hype for a game trailer since TotK was announced in 2019! Our girl is finally getting her spotlight! And in the same year as the new Peach game too!
I know there was Metroid Prime 4, but the Romancing SaGa 2 remake was my insanely hyped one more thing. Yes, I'm the guy they keep making these game for. lol
Found a fellow SaGa enjoyer. This was the most shocking news for me. =^x^=
32:52 "What could we end on?"
Me, who already knows: 👀
Seeing Metroid Prime 4 made me cry I’m so excited for it I can’t wait
Arlo’s rections are allways my favorite part about Nintendo direct days
Arlo has come to face with his biggest fear, green text with computer implications
