@@TheDiamondCore it was the oldest sandbox Mario if we count the 64 remake. It was due for some kind of re release but we just thought a sequel cuz that’s what we wanted. Never underestimate starving Mario fans to grasp at straws
Codenames are often created at the very start of a project, so it's unlikely that a codename would directly tie into content in the final product. That's why something like Odyssey would use "star" in its codename and not "moon"; they likely hadn't decided on collecting moons specifically when the codename was chosen.
Yeah, 'Star' makes a lot of sense as a return to form to SM64-style Mario. 'SP' is really interesting, as it's a term Nintendo uses/used relatively often, I assume as an abbreviation for 'Special'.
Bro I work in tech and you are 1000% wrong. First, there is a roadmap wherein codenames are developed far in advance way before production So codenames likely just has an internal meaning to the team and nothing to do with collecting moons as collectsbles
I think Star is for Mario, THE main character, THE Super Star!🎶, meaning internally that it was meant to be a new game with Mario in mind, so we indeed got a new sandbox game!
also maybe they put "star" in the codename because they knew from the beginning that they wanted it to be more open like super mario 64, where you collect stars

thats... the easiest most obvious guess. its obviously not Luigi's Mansion, its way too easy to guess based off the codename. and we just got 2 Luigi's Mansion installments on the switch, like be real, its not THAT important of a spinoff, and more than that a codename is always made so vague as to not make the game guessable at all. i guarantee linguini has absolutely nothing to do with luigi. guaranteed
The "Edward" codename's association with Zelda comes from the Link's Awakening remake, which was codenamed "Richard". It wouldn't be out of the question for the two projects codenamed using the names of British kings to be for the series based on medieval European imagery and folklore. Plus, as everyone _else_ is saying in the comments, "Edward" being a Twilight reference would be le funny. EDIT: I perused the cutting room floor briefly and Zelda codenames tend to be either "King" or something relating to playing cards ("Joker" was the codename for Majora's Mask 3D, I remember that one being in the news before it was confirmed). "Richard" for LA definitely breaks that trend. That being said, the newer codenames for remakes have been following some sort of self-referential theme. Richard is a character in Link's Awakening (thanks @labrynianrebel); Skyward Sword HD's codename was "Shoebill", which is the species of bird Loftwings are based on. So Edward for a funny Twilight reference isn't _entirely_ absurd.
@@labrynianrebel I forgot! Nintendo's codenaming tends to follow a theme though ("Red" for Mario, like Arlo said). Obviously there's no confirmed pattern to follow right now, but it seems like something they'd do. I'm okay being wrong about it.
maybe if Richard is Link's Awakening then Edward is the Oracle games? though I dont know of any special connection with that game versus edward in twilight
@@labrynianrebelNot only is he a side character, Link's Awakening was originally kinda the spritual successor to the Japan exclusive "The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls" where he is from. The games play pretty similarly and Nintendo has referenced it here and there since (like in Smash). To glean Edward must too be a Zelda game then seams a bit of a stretch to me, but they are codenames so what do I know.
That a funny thought that senior Nintendo dev employees would think of the Twilight Movies/Series as a reference for a cryptic anogram of a codename. 🤭
@@BrendanJSmithIt could be both. Luigi’s mansion Dark moon is getting remastered on switch, and if you remember, LM3 was announce a little after LM1 was remade on 3DS.
Arlo, the codenames are not supposed to be obvious lol They're supposed to be abstract! Here were the Splatoon games' codenames in order: Gambit, Blitz and Thunder.
1:17 Yeah I know of Midori from her start in the Persona community XD She's very kind and her tweets are fun and like a year ago she came outta nowhere and leaked that Kasumi and Akechi (highly beloved characters) were going to be in Persona 5 Tactica before we even knew there was going to be DLC for Tactica. And she provided official art too! We all went crazy and instantly started making fanart and stuff of Tactica Akechi, that was a fun day She's been on Twitter ever since just randomly dropping crazy insider info and she's always dead on. We have zero clue how she does this but she's awesome
Just today she said she will tone down the Nintendo leaks to be safe, she is japanese and most likely living there so she is under higher risk than most leakers too.
@@sandwichmaker9000 Dude you are obsessed, all of your recent comments are you being an absolute child. Calm down, stop hyper focusing on such a useless gripe. There’s nothing you are able to do in your power that will stop people from being how they want. You are pathetic and clearly think about this way too much.
Code names typically have nothing to do with the games themselves beyond sharing a theme, like how most recent Zelda games have been named after playing cards or how "Red" is typically part of Mario's code names. Super Mario Party's code name was "Buffet" which is why Banquet is likely a new Mario Party game.
Most of this, if true, is just confirming the existence of sequels in franchises most would already expect to be in development. The only real surprising one to me is the Switch Sports related game.
But Tim Lockwood from hit movie Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, nintendo FORGOT about mario!!!!111!! it's vital information!! yeah I agree, I could've guessed all of these
the codename for the final splatfest in splatoon 3 has already been found out! it's "sand." spiral is most definitely a new game, perhaps it includes a single player campaign expanding on side order's gameplay loop, which had the 'spire of order...?'
2 quick notes The reason Midori assumes Edward is related to Zelda is because the Link’s Awakening remake’s codename was Richard 2. We already have the codename for the final fest for Splatoon 3: it’s Sand
Watching this 2 weeks in the future, and the Nintendo Direct revealed: A new Zelda game A new Mario Party So, so far this has aged well. But it's only been 2 weeks, so...
Why is it doubtful that Nintendo is working on a new Zelda? It's been over a year since TotK released and from my experience they have never gone more than a few months from release of one game to starting development on the next.
I feel like no one noticed that there is a new zelda game released every year throughout the switch's lifecycle with the exception of 2022. 2017 - Breath of the Wild 2018 - Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition 2019 - Link's Awakening & Cadance of Hyrule 2020 - Age of Calamity 2021 - Skyward Sword 2023 - Tears of the Kingdom
There is a dedicated 3d Zelda game studio at Nintendo. They constantly work on Zelda game. My understand is that team works on new concepts, new mechanics, new ways to play constantly and some of these make it to new game and some of them might go the game after. But the point is they constantly work.
People sometimes forget how popular Splatoon is as a franchise, especially in Japan. The Splatoon series has sold over 30.51 million with just 3 games, which is a top tier for Nintendo, so we're definitely going to get new games. Splatoon is so popular that other popular games reference it. For example, the character Futaba in Persona 5 not only looks like Female Inkling, she is based on an Inkling. That's why her shirt has a red-orange stain of ink and why her spirit in smash is an inkling
I think Edward refers to Twilight Princess remastered. Edward is the name of a character from Twilight, Twilight Princess. Midori got that it could be Zelda based on the Links Awakening remake, which was codenamed Richard.
The Final Splatfest for Splatoon already has the codename "Sand" actually. The previous codenames for the Splatoon games have all had to do with storms/weather, and "Spiral" would kind of be related to tornados or hurricanes. It's very likely that this is the next mainline game, and if not, a spinoff.
Edward makes me think of Toon Zelda because in Manga you got characters like: 1. Edward Newgate - a Pirate. (Wind Waker) 2. Edward Elric - short blonde guy with a "spirit" in a suit of armor as a companion. (Spirit Tracks) What other Manga characters are named Edward? (don't take this seriously lol) Also, I think the correlation between Splatoon and "Spiral" could be about sushi, but that's a stretch
@@Sylvatic98 I said 90% because there's a lot of stuff that just hasnt been revealed so that jury is still out on those. But she's clearly an insider that either works in RUclips or in a gaming company like SEGA
SP could be "Special" in SP Red, like the Game Boy Advance SP the SP stands for Special. Note that Smash Bros Ultimate was Smash Bros Special in japanese, so it could mean Mario Ultimate. Could mean they are trying to combine all the good things from every previous mario game into one mario game?
Bro isn't it obvious? SPRed....'SPR?' Super. 'ed.' Education. Super Mario Education? What is an educational Mario game? Mario is Missing Remaster confirmed.
Apparently all Zelda games have code names related to royalty, a previous title had the code name “Richard” so “Edward” doesn’t sound THAT random. Also a previous Mario Party had the code name “buffet” so “banquet” makes sense.
2:20 The codename for links awakening was Richard since it was the name of a character from a diferent nintendo game that made a cameo in Links awakening. So Edward could be a code name for twilight princess or another game (Just speculation)
One of the recent Mario Party’s had games that involved placing multiple Switches together on a table. Putting a lot of things on a table evokes the idea of a banquet. So maybe codename Banquet indicates they’re leaning into that feature?
SP could stand for 'Special' , which could mean its a 'Special' version of a previous Mario game (I.E Remake / Plus). I could see them coming out the gate with maybe a Sunshine remaster, since it'd be a good way to flex the Switch 2's capabilities, using stuff like the water and goop to show off the console's processing power.
6:33 LOL no a) splatfest codenames are datamined, not leaked by word. b) meaningful codenames (words) are almost exclusive to special seasonal fests like springfest, splatoween, and the final fest. c) a codename very likely to be the final fest was datamined in the past week with the latest update, and it’s not remotely close to “spiral”. what i mean to say is that “spiral” isn’t a splatfest
The correlation between the Zelda Series and the name Edward is that the Link's Awakening Remake was codenamed "Richard" another very traditional European name
thousand year door literally just came out, unless they gave that remake to a separate studio there wouldn't have even been a pitch meeting about a super remake yet
@alexkeith5999 I mean repotedly they've been fine tuning the game for a year. Usually development of a new game begins as the last one is wrapping up, at least for most Nintendo studios. I'm sure it would be FAR off from release though.
@@jaycup1487What makes this unlikely to me personally is that I don't see them working on two remakes/remasters back to back. While there is always a team at Intelligent Systems working on Paper Mario, I think the series isn't big enough to warrant two teams or giving the project to another studio. Surely they are working on a new Paper Mario for the next console by now. Besides, Midori didn't seem to have any codenames for any other Intelligent Systems games, does she? SPRed very much seems like an internal Nintendo name.
@Mimi.1001 oh yeah I certainly don't think that's actually what they're doing, my point was just that it's very possible they are working on something else already. People seem to think that because a new game "just released" literally nothing is happening internally now which is very far from how studios usually work
@@jaycup1487 it's not that they're just sitting around doing nothing, but they need to have the time to concept and pitch a new project before they can start working on it, not to mention support/bug fixes for the newly released title now that they have hundreds of thousands of people playing the game instead of a dozen or so playtesters so new issues will come up. Also because the game was made by human beings, they need time to rest and recharge after completing a massive project like that
Buffet was Super Mario Party´s code name and I think it is not in reference to "this one game having everything" but just every MP being a buffet or banquet of mini games
Hey, Arlo! Fan of everything you do! My favorite G rated channel on RUclips! I was wondering, with all the time we have until the Switch 2's launch, if you'd be interested in making a video about your ideal Switch launch line up? What would you, the fluffy blue monster, want to see at the launch of the Switch 2? How big do you think this system could be if it launched with Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, and Baldurs Gate 3?
I still think the next switches color pallet will be chrome/silver/light grey/platinum. Similar to the DS branding and alt color for gamecube controllers. They need a way to distinguish it from the previous gen, and an all white console would. . . blech. We already have that with the PS5.
Anna the merchant is the most common reoccurring character in the fire emblem series. She’s appeared in almost every game. She’s arguably the fire emblem mascot.
The code name for Super Paper Mario was, in differing places in the game’s code, sometimes WiiMario, but ALMOST ALWAYS spmario. “SPRed” feels so close to “spmario” that it genuinely gives me hope.
RedStar and "Star" is probably referring to Mario rather than Stars and Moons collectibles, as to say "the new mainline 3D sandbox game starring Mario", you know, 🎶Jump Up, Super Star!
Leakers like this ruin Nintendo Directs because everyone goes into them expecting huge announcements like Odyssey 2 and Prime 4 and then get upset when they aren't there, no matter how good the actual presentation was.
"Linguini Platinum" means tomorrow Arlo is going to do a video on Nintendo Creepypastas. Linguini is the pasta part (obviously). Platinum is the darker version of Pokemon Gen 5, involving the distortion world (which also plays into it, because these are stories that "distort" Nintendo IPs). Gen 5 seems like a random thing, except this reveals the number of stories he'll talk about (5). And it's specifically Nintendo because, besides being Arlo's specialty, there's the Pokemon link mentioned earlier, and Linguini is an Italian pasta, and Mario is Italian.
Oh man imagine if SPRed actually was a Super Paper Mario remake. They did add additional continuity forward in the TTYD remake, with the same partner photos in Mario's house that were introduced in SPM. The continuity with the first three games is so strong and unmatched. And there is a lot to be improved on in SPM. I'd love that. But don't put it on Switch pls, save it for the next system.
The codename for the presumed final splatfest of Splatoon 3 is “SAND” As for the codenames for the games, Splatoon 1 was “Gambit”, Splatoon 2 was “Blitz”, and Splatoon 3 was “Thunder”
The idea of Kirby in a Mario Party is perfect! I’ve been wanting a Nintendo or “Smash” Kart for years. But man, a Nintendo Party game would be amazing too. I watched the reference video at the end before this one and hearing that code name just made me laugh. Cuz I never would have guessed anything remotely close to it.
Spiral could be Uzumaki, which is a very popular style of Fishcake, which are called Naruto. A huge typhoon is also super relevant to Splatoon lore, and whirlpools are also called Naruto and often caused by huge storms.
Codenames doesn't always have anything to do context wise with the actual game its a codename for. Like Spiral, Splatoon 4, doesn't need to mean anything in context of Splatoon 👏
I really REALLY hope SPRed is a Super Paper Mario remake. Could the popularity of the TTYD remake be setting a precedent for the return of the golden age of Paper Mario??
Spiral just makes me think of Gurren Lagann. I could see Splatoon going to space or dealing with some apocalyptic force that requires willpower and power of friendship combined to overcome it. And possibly some form of mech-like ability/gear/mech to use in gameplay. That, or your main character is gonna get flushed down into the octolands at the beginning of the game like being flushed down a toilet into the sewers
I really hope that Spiral is a Splatoon 3 Deluxe for the start of the Switch 2's life. We still could really use third kits. Splatoon 3 is in a good state as of the start of this current season. And it could just end here. But it could still be so much more.
My uncle works for Arlo and he said Linguine Platinum is going to be Arlo streaming the Ratatouille game on PlayStation while eating spaghetti and meatballs.

Anna could also be a Fire Emblem thing, since Anna is the one character who appears in practically every FE universe. Maybe a spinoff about her?
I feel like "star" in odyssey's codename, if referring to anything, would be the "Jump Up Superstar" song
Bro isn't it obvious? SPRed....'SPR?' Super. 'ed.' Education. Super Mario Education? What is an educational Mario game? Mario is Missing Remaster confirmed.
Well, you know what they say…
where there's smoke, they pinch back
MARIO TEACHES TYPING 2 CONFIRMED!!!
That works for me!
He's-a-going to fly for you
Apparently all Zelda games have code names related to royalty, a previous title had the code name “Richard” so “Edward” doesn’t sound THAT random. Also a previous Mario Party had the code name “buffet” so “banquet” makes sense.
2:20 The codename for links awakening was Richard since it was the name of a character from a diferent nintendo game that made a cameo in Links awakening. So Edward could be a code name for twilight princess or another game (Just speculation)
Spiral -> Lord Helix -> Legends Kanto with built in streaming integration. Trust me, I caught a mew from under the truck.
Splatoon 3's last splatfest is codenamed "SAND"
Lots of rumors to what it might be are already going around. So "Spiral" sounds like a new title.
Team Jacob... we lost...
😂
One of the recent Mario Party’s had games that involved placing multiple Switches together on a table. Putting a lot of things on a table evokes the idea of a banquet. So maybe codename Banquet indicates they’re leaning into that feature?
SP could stand for 'Special' , which could mean its a 'Special' version of a previous Mario game (I.E Remake / Plus). I could see them coming out the gate with maybe a Sunshine remaster, since it'd be a good way to flex the Switch 2's capabilities, using stuff like the water and goop to show off the console's processing power.
This leak is like that time Lex Luthor unmasked the Flash and said "I have no idea who this is."
6:33 LOL no
a) splatfest codenames are datamined, not leaked by word.
b) meaningful codenames (words) are almost exclusive to special seasonal fests like springfest, splatoween, and the final fest.
c) a codename very likely to be the final fest was datamined in the past week with the latest update, and it’s not remotely close to “spiral”.
what i mean to say is that “spiral” isn’t a splatfest
The correlation between the Zelda Series and the name Edward is that the Link's Awakening Remake was codenamed "Richard" another very traditional European name
sadly all that info Midori got was bought for.
(or "not midori", but yk.)
Not quite sure what makes SPRed being a Super Paper Mario remake such a low possibility in Arlo's head?
thousand year door literally just came out, unless they gave that remake to a separate studio there wouldn't have even been a pitch meeting about a super remake yet
@alexkeith5999 I mean repotedly they've been fine tuning the game for a year. Usually development of a new game begins as the last one is wrapping up, at least for most Nintendo studios. I'm sure it would be FAR off from release though.
@@jaycup1487What makes this unlikely to me personally is that I don't see them working on two remakes/remasters back to back. While there is always a team at Intelligent Systems working on Paper Mario, I think the series isn't big enough to warrant two teams or giving the project to another studio. Surely they are working on a new Paper Mario for the next console by now. Besides, Midori didn't seem to have any codenames for any other Intelligent Systems games, does she? SPRed very much seems like an internal Nintendo name.
@Mimi.1001 oh yeah I certainly don't think that's actually what they're doing, my point was just that it's very possible they are working on something else already. People seem to think that because a new game "just released" literally nothing is happening internally now which is very far from how studios usually work
@@jaycup1487 it's not that they're just sitting around doing nothing, but they need to have the time to concept and pitch a new project before they can start working on it, not to mention support/bug fixes for the newly released title now that they have hundreds of thousands of people playing the game instead of a dozen or so playtesters so new issues will come up. Also because the game was made by human beings, they need time to rest and recharge after completing a massive project like that
Its clearly the Legend of Edward, Anna's Spiral Banquet.
These videos never fail to make me leak!
Buffet was Super Mario Party´s code name and I think it is not in reference to "this one game having everything" but just every MP being a buffet or banquet of mini games
Hey, Arlo! Fan of everything you do! My favorite G rated channel on RUclips! I was wondering, with all the time we have until the Switch 2's launch, if you'd be interested in making a video about your ideal Switch launch line up? What would you, the fluffy blue monster, want to see at the launch of the Switch 2? How big do you think this system could be if it launched with Metroid Prime 4, Elden Ring, and Baldurs Gate 3?
4:20 Ya might be mixing up banquet and buffet there?
2:32 Nintendo being work on Zelda doubtful? They have dedicated Zelda studio. They always, none stop work on Zelda games.
Yeah that part took me off guard, you’re completely right
Richard was the code name for Zelda Links Awakening Remake. That’s why Edward is another Zelda remake.
I still think the next switches color pallet will be chrome/silver/light grey/platinum. Similar to the DS branding and alt color for gamecube controllers. They need a way to distinguish it from the previous gen, and an all white console would. . . blech. We already have that with the PS5.
Anna the merchant is the most common reoccurring character in the fire emblem series. She’s appeared in almost every game. She’s arguably the fire emblem mascot.
Cool to see atleast 4 of these are actually happening
The code name for Super Paper Mario was, in differing places in the game’s code, sometimes WiiMario, but ALMOST ALWAYS spmario. “SPRed” feels so close to “spmario” that it genuinely gives me hope.
I like Arlo's idea of a couple random characters on top of Mario Party games
Ok all these TopicArlos can't distract you from finishing TTYD. You still gotta play through Super Mario RPG!! We gotta support Nintendo RPGS!
Midori has insanely good credibility imo. She has successfully predicted dozens of things lol
RedStar and "Star" is probably referring to Mario rather than Stars and Moons collectibles, as to say "the new mainline 3D sandbox game starring Mario", you know, 🎶Jump Up, Super Star!
Leakers like this ruin Nintendo Directs because everyone goes into them expecting huge announcements like Odyssey 2 and Prime 4 and then get upset when they aren't there, no matter how good the actual presentation was.
"Linguini Platinum" means tomorrow Arlo is going to do a video on Nintendo Creepypastas. Linguini is the pasta part (obviously). Platinum is the darker version of Pokemon Gen 5, involving the distortion world (which also plays into it, because these are stories that "distort" Nintendo IPs). Gen 5 seems like a random thing, except this reveals the number of stories he'll talk about (5). And it's specifically Nintendo because, besides being Arlo's specialty, there's the Pokemon link mentioned earlier, and Linguini is an Italian pasta, and Mario is Italian.
red star could be because “jump-up superSTAR” song when they were promoting the game.
Oh man imagine if SPRed actually was a Super Paper Mario remake. They did add additional continuity forward in the TTYD remake, with the same partner photos in Mario's house that were introduced in SPM. The continuity with the first three games is so strong and unmatched. And there is a lot to be improved on in SPM. I'd love that. But don't put it on Switch pls, save it for the next system.
I love super paper mario so much
BTW, we already know that the splatoon 3 final splatfest is codenamed "SAND" from datamining
I played the unholy crap out of Nintendo Switch Sports, I am embarrassingly far from anything one could call a “casual” game lover.
Edward is referring to a 2D Zelda.
The Links Awakening Remake codename was Richard
He’s gonna talk about 100%ing the Luigi mansion games
The codename for the presumed final splatfest of Splatoon 3 is “SAND”
As for the codenames for the games, Splatoon 1 was “Gambit”, Splatoon 2 was “Blitz”, and Splatoon 3 was “Thunder”
9:10 Linguni Platinum... Platinum Games Pizza Tower Controversy?
The codename for links awakening remake was Richard or something like that. Wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't as zelda
pasta tier list tomorrow confirmed
Ill eat my leg if we get a twilight princess remake
I'm pretty sure the final special splatfest in splatoon 3 is codenamed SAND? (allcaps internally). Not sure but i remember seeing that
3:33 It's pronounced "banket", Arlo. The "q" in Banquet is pronounced like a k.
Not in English
The idea of Kirby in a Mario Party is perfect! I’ve been wanting a Nintendo or “Smash” Kart for years. But man, a Nintendo Party game would be amazing too.
I watched the reference video at the end before this one and hearing that code name just made me laugh. Cuz I never would have guessed anything remotely close to it.
Spiral could be Uzumaki, which is a very popular style of Fishcake, which are called Naruto. A huge typhoon is also super relevant to Splatoon lore, and whirlpools are also called Naruto and often caused by huge storms.
Ah, the Skyward Sword Island music in the background 🥰
Codenames doesn't always have anything to do context wise with the actual game its a codename for. Like Spiral, Splatoon 4, doesn't need to mean anything in context of Splatoon 👏
I’m just here for the Peach Let’s Play. Having fun Zebra Gamer?
I really REALLY hope SPRed is a Super Paper Mario remake. Could the popularity of the TTYD remake be setting a precedent for the return of the golden age of Paper Mario??
I don't know if I would say Super is part of an golden age to Paper Mario due to controversy.
I really hope the next splatoon game is more focused on worldbuilding and characters.
I’m hope Spiral means an ARMS 2. All of the characters with the long arms have spiral eyes
Spiral makes me think of a nautilus. Perhaps there could be a resurgence of prehistoric creatures running amok... er, swimming amok!
Getting strong Ratatouille for the GameCube vibes from that codename
Spiral just makes me think of Gurren Lagann. I could see Splatoon going to space or dealing with some apocalyptic force that requires willpower and power of friendship combined to overcome it. And possibly some form of mech-like ability/gear/mech to use in gameplay.
That, or your main character is gonna get flushed down into the octolands at the beginning of the game like being flushed down a toilet into the sewers
So as a prequel you could call it Mario Odessey Minus One? Godzilla in mario confirmed?
That's just Bowser lol
I really hope that Spiral is a Splatoon 3 Deluxe for the start of the Switch 2's life. We still could really use third kits. Splatoon 3 is in a good state as of the start of this current season. And it could just end here. But it could still be so much more.
"Jump Up, Super Star", remember?
My uncle works for Arlo and he said Linguine Platinum is going to be Arlo streaming the Ratatouille game on PlayStation while eating spaghetti and meatballs.
