I’m really glad you still made this video Arlo! I hope this means you’re more willing to compromise on these type of videos; scripted content was at some point the premier content on this channel, but what we’ve always loved is hearing you share your thoughts on the status of the gaming industry. If those videos come out off the cuff more, I’d personally be happy they’re still coming and that you’ve taken steps to make your workload lighter.
Also, generally great recap on the year. Hope the holiday season isn’t too harsh on ya!
@DontReadProfilePhoto Okay *reads name*
The idea of fuzzy blue Arlo wearing pants is both comforting and terrifying for some reason
Not to mention him shaving. 😳
Down there?
If it helps, just realize he probably wears them on his head. 😂
@@ravenebony2267 Now I want an episode to start with Arlo wearing pants on his head
I picture Cookie Monster in overalls which doesn’t seem that bad tbh
PUTTING THIS HERE BECAUSE THEY DESERVE SO MUCH MORE CREDIT
The team behind Octopath Traveler, Bravely Default, Triangle Strategy, LIVEALIVE and games like those is called Team Asano! They’re under Square of course but any time people talk about these games they just say they were made by Square Enix but Team Asano deserves to have their name known because they’re so freaking talented and amazing! Team Asano! TEAM ASANO!
who?
Kirby and the forgotten land was one of Hal’s biggest peaks but scarlet and violet was a mixed bag , still a chill year except for a few things
And Next Level completely dropped the ball with Battle League
I wonder at this point what Nintendo has to do to not have a "chill" year. I guess having main Mario and main Zelda is the only way?
Well scarlet and violet is the greatest and Kirby is surprisingly my GOTY next to Arceus since it's back and forth for me!
@@TheSpeedfoever Arceus is better than SV tbh. At the very least until they fix all the big bugs. After that, it would be debatable, since I personally love the ability to catch Pokemon without entering into a battle and they removed that for some reason.
Kirby and the Forgotten land is amazing tho.
@Jowe Arceus is better...
This year my Switch was basically a Smash Ultimate machine. Lack of mental energy meant I just couldn't work myself up to playing most games, but it's so easy to hop on and play a few matches or tourneys. Ended the year with like three hundred hours of Smash, a couple of other games with ten or fifteen, and that was about it. Going to try to tackle the backlog in the new year.
Same for me man, I've only been playing Smash this year (Excluding other systems). I've been playing casually for the most part
Man, and this doesn’t include any of the Mario Movie trailers. It’s crazy to think how 2022 already looked amazing in late 2021, only for the February Direct to basically double the number of games we could expect.
This retrospective on 2022 has me very excited to see what Nintendo has to show in the first 2023 Direct, especially since they’ve only got 5 games announced so far and one or two of them will release before then.
Whatever happens with Nintendo this year, Happy New Year to all!
Arlo, I just got a switch this year and watched about two dozen of your videos. You have a great disposition and I've come to value your input when it comes to games I want to buy for my kids or even for myself as the Switch has been great for both of us. Looking forward to checking out your videos in 2023!
This has been my favorite year for Nintendo. It may not have had the highest highs, but it had such consistent quality with a large console exclusive released almost every month, and most of them were great. The September Direct from last year was my favorite direct and set up this year greatly. Some of my favorites included Pokemon Legends Arceus, Kirby, Mario Rabbids Sparks of Hope, Triangle Strategy, Bayonetta 3, and Dragon Quest Treasures.
Oh wow, I completely forgot Dragon Quest Treasures released.
I haven't seen or heard a single thing about it, must have been overshadowed by Pokemon S/V.
2022 was a good sequel to 2017 for Nintendo, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Bayonetta 3 are my personal favorite games of the year
personally it felt more like 2018, kinda weak. i'd say 2020 but that had an excuse
In both games the main villains are very simular
@@DonutTPOTer 2020 was the weakest year but that gets an *. But for the years that didn’t have the plague messing things up, this was the year of AA and A games (from Nintendo). Bayonetta 3 is good and all but, for me, I could have just replayed the first two games and had about the same amount of enjoyment. The DMC games no longer really impress me anymore. They just have this “samey” feel to them. I much prefer Platinums weirder efforts (e.g. Wonderful 101).
Well then try bayonetta origins that looks different
@@DonutTPOTer 2018 feels more accurate. 2017 this is not. Hard disagree with Arlo about the niche stuff defining 2017, 2017 was good because it had multiple AAA games in the same year, not just BotW and Mario Odyssey, but MK8D and Splatoon 2. We only got 1 1/2 of those in 2022.
The casual format made this the best wrap up yet… this is what we want! Happy New Year!
When it comes to third parties, No Man’s Sky was such an amazing surprise. The port is just stunning and it’s quite an experience. Massive massive kudos to Hello Games for that.
Thanks for continuing these Arlo! I always love reminiscing on the year with these recap videos.
I ate good this year.
Xenoblade 3 blew me away so much, it's by faaaar my favorite game of the year and probably all time.
As a massive FE and Warriors fan, Three Hopes for me is the best FE game on the Switch (for now, maybe).
Wasn't much into the gameplay before, but Bayonetta 3 also slapped way more than I expected.
And of course as a big Kirby enjoyer, Forgotten Land was great, tho for me way too easy compared to the 2D games.
Really looking forward to 2023 with FE Engage, Persona 3 & Persona 4, Spongebob Cosmic Shake, more Booster Course Pack and of course Pokémon Scarlet/Violet DLC.
Hopefully we finally get Advance Wars too.
Kirby slaps that cringey @$$ anime sh##
So we usually get the showered, shaved, and pants-wearing version of Arlo? Didn't know.
Switch Sports is the first game I have ever managed to get my mom to try, like she has never played any video game since like pong. So for this reason alone its a very special game for me.
You probably don't hear this enough, but I love you and your channel, Arlo. I love that you're just a fuzzy blue guy playing Nintendo games. I think it's great that you're the first person the internet collectively thinks about when anything Pikmin happens.
You're wonderful. You're my favorite channel for gaming news. And I hope the new year treats you well!
Xenoblade 3 has captured me. I don’t ever play JRPGs or even RPGs, but I gave it a shot based on how pretty the game looked. I’m surprised how much I dig this game!
I got it for Christmas and am really excited to start it soon.
@@eclipsicalbluestocking1182 you’re in for a treat. If you’re like me and the combat is a bit of a turnoff, just give it time and it becomes fantastic as it evolves. I’m only about 15-20 hours in, so I have quite a bit to experience myself (the campaign is around 60 hours even if you skip side missions).
Xenoblade 3 got its hooks in me from the start, sucker-punched me in the middle, and blew me away at the end. It's my favorite rpg in years and my personal GotY.
@@ravenebony2267 Awesome! I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds 😊
Yay! Arlo’s wrap up! I don’t comment often, but new year’s is in just over 4 hours in my time zone, so I just wanted to say Happy New Year!
Arlo, I don't understand why you say Xenoblade isn't your thing?
Xenoblade is a huge story based game, I was always under the impression that that was your jam. If you haven't given them a try in a while, I really would recommend you do so because based on your videos I feel like they're the exact kinds of games you'd enjoy.
It could be the gameplay that he doesn't like. It is very MMO-like gameplay despite being a single-player game.
I know that the gameplay has been what kept me from enjoying the Xenoblade games, with the exception of Xenoblade X because X, unlike the others, had great exploration.
@@matthewmuir8884 Exactly right? I just don't understand why some Xenoblade fans don't accept it's simply how he feels. Everyone has their own choices - but seeing one fanbase force their narrative over someone's choice is a bit churlish & immature if I'm being frank. Let the guy say as he feels for now, he's just making a chill recollation video.
Arlo, I finally played pikmin 3 and good lord. It was my first pikmin game and it was everything you ever said it was. I didn’t think I would like it but it’s so addicting and fun and I’m so excited for pikmin 4.
If you get a hold of pikmin 1 I would greatly reccomend it even if its a bit old. Though even as an avid Pikmin 2 enjoyer its a bit of an outlier in the series compared to 3 and 1.
I didn't know about Sakurai's channel! Thanks for bringing it up, Arlo!
i saw the world premiere splatfest of splatoon 3 advertised on the switch home page, and decided to download the demo for the hell of it. now i have discovered my new hyperfixation, and i’ve loved this game since. my first shooter game in fact! i’m -A rank :)
woomy :)
@@mccookies3664 woomy :)
I do kinda hope he brings back Arlo Plays just one more time, just to see how he starts that Pikminning 4. Of course, he might have a heart attack of joy on camera if that happened
Imma tell you something Arlo, you definitely don’t have to do huge 2 hour long videos for us. We are all happy with a 15-20 min video. We all love you and are just happy to have you here (:
The whole caramel popcorn whiplash at the end like the popcorn happened to be strolling by unexpectedly and he just happened to see it and chase after it.
I wish I could see a grown man play that out I'd die😭😭😭😭
As a massive splatoon fan this year was great on Splatoon 3 alone
Happy new year, Arlo!
Thanks for a great 2022 mate, keep up the good work
There’s a bit of a notion going on with how games are dying or loosing quality and yet Nintendo is out here casually just dropping quality still.
I’m so glad I got my own Switch after so many years of not playing Nintendo (since the Wii and 3DS) but damn I missed out on a lot. There looks to be another year with 2023 hopefully of hype Switch games/news
I thought Arlo was going to crap on the September direct but then I remembered who I was watching
I really really really don’t understand why Arlo isn’t into Xenoblade games? They have everything he seems to be into? Open world RPG with great characters, whats not to like?
The story, characters and world do attract people to Xenoblade games, but the gameplay tends to be what drives people away. I know that in my case, the MMO-like combat in the games is really boring, and Xenoblade X was the only game in the series where exploring the world was actually fun.
@@matthewmuir8884 Xenoblade x is the most MMO like out of the series. Whenever people say they don't like the combat it because they drop the game before the full combat system is fully introduced or they watch clips online of the first hours where the full combat system isn't unlocked yet. Xenoblade 3 also has exploration closer to X with tons of side content that feels just as good as the main story.
@@metroidcypher I played all the way through X and most of the way through 1; the combat is boring at the fundamental level (at least to me). X at least had things like targeting specific limbs of monsters/skells to disable enemy attacks and stuff like that; at least some element of thought during combat. Otherwise, every fight in Xenoblade games comes down to pressing the cooldown-based abilities in the right order to maximize DPS; the moment you have the best pattern figured out, the game plays itself.
It's especially bad in 1, where the best solution they could think of was to introduce _spike damage_ halfway through the game: they made a game where the only efficient way to damage opponents was the break-&-topple combo, and then halfway through, they flooded the game with an invisible punishment for toppling enemies. It was stupid.
I understand why it was delayed but I’m hoping we hear more about Advance Wars 1+2 soon, I was Uber excited
I’m starting to think it’s been cancelled or something. Not trying to be pessimistic or anything but would Nintendo really hold back on those games because of the conflict in Ukraine? It’s so silly. Somebody is always at war with each other on this planet.
Arlo's "final video in 2022": Releases in the afternoon of 2023 in Australia.
I remember when Xenoblade 3 got revealed most people had a very negative reaction for it just existing. But I would consider that direct to be the best day of my life and it is my number 1 favorite game as of right now
As someone who has never played xenoblade why would people hate a new game in a series if it’s not bad
@@myrealusername2193 im pretty sure most people said that they wanted their favorite games to get a sequel instead
Yeah that one day, February 9th I think, was the start of a very tedious wait for Xenoblade 3. I remember I actually thought about it at least once a day because of how excited I was for it!
@@HoldenDude123 Which almost was pretty much Xenoblade 3. I even like it’s take as the main characters not only avoid acknowledging the last 2 games but outright are more in the dark on this than we would be. Tons of situational irony.
@@HoldenDude123 people hate anything that has anime artstyle. i mean some are the ones making it lok bad but not all
Ngl Advance Wars is just really sad to me. It seems like they just have a complete game but they couldn't sell it this year because Nintendo found it in poor taste I guess? They just lose all the steam of advertising it and with the Switch probably hitting its last major peak it probably will not sell well whenever it does release.
As for Fire Emblem Engage, it seems to be selling amazingly preorder wise but even as a major Fire Emblem fan I am not too interested in picking it up, idk why though. It just feels off.
It feels off? It's a standard fire emblem game similar to awakening
Where's the Let's Predict Nintendo's 2023? Also Arlo has work. I'm really intrigued now.
Xenoblade 3 is one of the best games I’ve ever played and is one of my all time favorites now
Thanks for great content in 2022, Arlo! Looking forward to all of your videos and thoughts this year
This year was the least I’ve ever played my switch. Played Kirby which was amazing and Splatoon 3 which was great but definitely didn’t feel like 2017 to me
Xenoblade 3 and three hopes were quite fun for me.
Arlo: “Make Paper Mario an RPG again.”
Also Arlo: “Xenoblade 3 not my thing.”
Hmm…
Yes, I’m tired of this blatant double standardizing, Arlo. Maybe Nintendo won’t make Mario another RPG cuz the people who want them don’t actually play RPG’s.
Yeah exactly. He constantly wishes for something that would just be what Xenoblade is.
Xenoblade is a very, VERY different kind of RPG from Paper Mario. This is like telling an F-Zero fan to just “go play Mario Kart,” or telling a Melee fan to just “go play Guilty Gear.” They’re fundamentally different kinds of games even if they’re in the same broad genre.
To be fair. Xenoblade is very different from the Paper Mario rpgs. I love both and miss the old PM games. But not everyone is going to like both types of rpgs.
@@FedoraKirb Still being generally dismissive of JRPG’s is telling though.
Still feels like NSO is not even close to a reasonable service when compared to emulation.
Other than that, everything was pretty good this year. Here's hoping next is as good, if not Better.
It definitely isn't. And I wish more people were upset that there are now three different versions/models of the Switch, yet all of them have the same internal hardware and outdated performance.
When will you do your 2023 predictions video. What’s the hold up
When will you do your Prediction Video on 2023, I been waiting for that
As a huge fire emblem three houses fan, three hopes is great. As a non kirby fan, I really liked dream buffet too!
Happy new year, Arlo!!
This is fine.
But I'm looking forward to the predictions video for next year. Will you still make one?
This year was amazing, and I was definitely glad to spend it with Arlo’s videos!!
The Booster Course Pass is the new Smash dlc fighters.
Jokes on you, within my timezone it's actually your FIRST video of 2023!
As a Xenoblade and Pokemon fan, I thought it was pretty good
To be honest, this wasn't a good year for me (in terms of nintendo games). I kept waiting for BotW 2 only for it to be delayed to next year. Plus no Odyssey sequel. There was a lot of jrpg games, which I'm simply not a fan of. It's cool, saved some money, so that's not bad, but I hope 2023 gives us the true sequel to 2017, with TotK and another Mario game.
This year was alright for games, if you weren't an RPG fan then your only "nintendo-ey" options were really just kirby, splatoon, and mario kart DLC (and kind of pokemon with legends arceus), but I'm glad to see a lot of people enjoyed the games that released this year. Really looking forward to next year, I think it's going to be as big as Nintendo 2017 if not bigger
EDIT: And Nintendo Switch Sports! I forgot about it because it didn't really have much to it
Scarlet/Violet introducing even better 3D models than Legends Arceus & _finally_ the full true Open World for the 1st time in the series. Yes it had flaws both gameplay & graphics wise (mostly fixed after the patch) but it's still a real landmark for the series - exploring has never been so seamless & fun. The story for those who actually played it was very intriguing.
I mean, he liked it a lot anyway. 🤷♂
In the past I've done scripted content BUT: the opening to every Arlo video in 2022
Happy New Year Arlo!
1:10 I’m just a bit terrified to think of what shaved Arlo would look like.
I want the run trilogy to get ported to switch
Arlo: I haven't shaved or showered.
Me: I wasn't aware muppets did that.
Arlo talking about stuff he's not into can sound kinda patronising.
also he normally does a recap video where he looks back at his predictions for the year and makes predictions for the new year, is he still doing that?
If you’re talking about the 2023 Predictions, it’s still coming! The editor’s just recovering from having to edit the 4-hour Pikmin video, lol.
I give this year a 8/10 but I think 2023 will be a 9 since TOTK is there NOW and I can't wait for the new year! Also happy new year everyone!
Yea you could argue 2023 is already better than any year since 2017 because it’s the next big Zelda game and there hasn’t been a big Mario or Zelda game since then. Yes there was a Mario game but it want a full Odyssey experience.
This was a very good year for Nintendo first party stuff, not perfect since the 2 sports games and the technical state of SV bring it down a bit, but other than that we had around 8 very good to excellent games of all kinds, which Is great and most of them were mainline stuff, plus the third party side was super solid, especially thanks to Square Enix. Anyone not happy with Nintendo this year could only be for having a super specific taste or only caring about Mario and Zelda.
I agree with what you’re saying but didn’t this feel like the year of A and AA games? Nintendo’s “big” release was Splatoon 3 and I have a hard time believing that game pushed the developers to push the envelope. It seriously looks like Splatoon 2.5… which is kinda whack since Splatoon 2 was 1.5.
I think I’d be more tolerant of a year like this if Nintendo stopped pushing out half baked Mario Sports games. Back on the Gamecube, heck even the N64, Mario Sports games were games I looked forward to. My friend and I STILL play Toadstole Tour until today because it really hasn’t been bested. Actually, that’s not true. World Tour was amazing but it’s locked to a handheld so multiplayer is a pain. Just imagine a world where we got all the same releases but Switch Sports and Mario Strikers were AAA efforts. Now THAT would have been a banger year. Instead we got the long troubled development game of Bayonetta 3 (which actually turned out okay but really feels like more of the same). A sequel to Xenoblade, a game that seems to have really satisfied the fans but for people who’ve been curious what else that studio can make, that seems to content to sell to a very narrow audience.
It was a year where you can’t say Nintendo didn’t put out software but is going to be forgotten quickly. Not exactly like Nintendo during the 2000s when they had some of the best games of all time coming out each year. I don’t know, it feels like Nintendo is doing what they always do late in a successful consoles life cycle: phoning it in.
I mean... This was a year with 3 pokemon titles, 2 multiplayer and 2 that felt like mainline titles with massive changes from previous generations... Even if both were not as visually appealing as desired and buggy they were both very ambitious. And if you think you played ALL of the content from Nintendo's biggest games this year you're either wrong or have way too much free time.... Though there were dead spots in the early year.
@@leeartlee915 ...or you just having nostalgia for the 2000s
@@jowysw If I have nostalgia for any time period, it would be the mid 90s. 1994-1998 was packed with games that have become lasting classics.
@@leeartlee915 honestly, I don't get why people view the 2000s era so fondly with Nintendo. The GameCube sold poorly and because of that had long draughts of games. I guess now that the have the full library they see it with different eyes but at the time was not good. Just like the Wii U, people were surprised with how "so many games" they were only after the fact because they saw the full list.
To me it also seems like, unless Nintendo releases a big Mario and a big Zelda that year, then it is a "slow" year for some people. Something I don't get
At the beginning, Arlo said he hasn’t shaved because it’s Christmas. But has he ever shaved? What does a furry blue monster look like without fur? I hope it looks better than hairless bears….
I 100% agree with your doubts about Fire Emblem Engage. Three Houses was my first Fire Emblem game and I absolutely loved it. The characters and social aspect of the game were the main reason I loved it so much, but from what we've seen in the trailers for Engage there doesn't seem to be very much character interaction. It seems like Engage will be a lot more focused on the combat, the one thing that has always made me not super interested in the Fire Emblem series. Don't get me wrong, the combat in Three Houses was perfectly fine, but I don't see myself playing a game where that is the main draw.
I'm a big Fire Emblem fan, my favourite FE game to this day is Path of Radiance, and I agree that, while it is very important, the combat is not the main draw of an FE game.
For me, the thing that gave me doubts about FE Engage are twofold:
1. The first trailer said that the protagonist is a divine dragon, and yet, all we've seen of the protagonist is them being a typical sword-wielding FE protagonist. It was bad enough when Fates heavily advertised Corrin being a dragon only for it to only be relevant for 1 chapter in the game, and this is even worse: you promised a dragon protagonist; give us a dragon protagonist.
2. Day-1 DLC. This is a big one; they announced an expansion pass for Fire Emblem Engage all the way back near the beginning of December, with wave 1 of the DLC releasing this month (the same month the base game releases) and wave 1 is pretty substantial: extra levels, an emblem of the house leaders, and an emblem of Tiki. Wave 1 of the DLC reeks of being content that was removed from the base game so they could charge extra for it, and I don't want to spend full price on a butchered game; I don't want to support anti-consumer business decisions.
Wait no prediction video!?
Splatoon 3 is easily my highlight of the year, just an amazing sequel that improves so many aspects of the previous games while adding some really game-changing stuff for all the anarchy modes with the new movement abilities and special weapons
Happy New Year to you too!!!
here's to 2023!
This was the year I finally started buying retro games and consoles instead of just emulating!
I'm also very excited for 2023, tears of the kingdom, silk song hopefully, and crowsworn maybe, is going to be fun
Looks at mario golf and aces and you would know mario strikers was going to be the same with the lack of content at launch.
My favorite arlo videos each year are the prediction videos...
8:25 ah man I freaken love awoofys too. Like, one of my all time favorite kirby enemies now. Possibly my favorite videogame characters in general.
Was a packed year for me, all my fav franchises got new entries in them. Pokemon, Splatoon, Monster Hunter, Xenoblade, etc.
You didn’t just include Pokémon on that list, did you? You literally get a game every year for that annualized series. I’m not saying you shouldn’t enjoy it (that’s another discussion) but it’s like saying you were stoked to get a Madden game this year. Of course you did, you always do.
@@leeartlee915 It's a bit different this year. Pokémon got two big releases with Arceus and S/V, and if someone is satisfied with both of those games then that's a big deal.
@@TriforceWisdom64 Like I said, that’s like looking forward to Call of Duty… except those games are actually well made.
@@leeartlee915 🤓 "uh actually you always get a pokemon game every year!" *pushes up glasses*
Bruh literally who asked. Yes OBVIOUSLY pokemon gets a game most years (not every, 2015 and 2020 there weren't any major new games iirc other than dlc). Doesn't change the fact that we still got one this year, which is why i included it in my list of favorite franchise releases THIS YEAR. Being yearly released has nothing to do with making that statement or not, the games could be released 5 times a year and that would still fall under games released this year from my fav franchises. 🤓 Actual nerd emoji moment dude, LOL. "Uh technically pokemon is yearly released, so that shouldn't be mentioned" Make your new years resolution to touch grass
@@YoungstaJoey-j2s Holy cow, The Pokemon company skipped an entire two whole years? That’s nuts. I’m surprised they didn’t go under. Oh that’s right, people buy their games no matter how glitchy and unimaginative they are. Anyone up for a round of Shinning Pearl? It’s 2003 graphics in 2020s!
Happy New Year folks
Really enjoyed Nintendo in 2022, especially their rpg offerings.
Hopefully 2023 can bring us a strong output of great games with a more diverse lineup so everyone can have fun.
If you enjoy (and have time) RPGs, this year was incredible. But take out those titles and what are you left with? For me, if I wanted to get a couple of rounds of Splatoon in, I can boot up the edition they already released on the Switch. It’s kind of hilarious. Splatoon 2 still has a huge amount of players. I think that while the die hard fans bought the new game, there is a huge segment of Nintendo fans that were like me and said “ummm, yeah I’m not paying 60 bucks to play a game I feel like I already own”.
I don’t know, this always happens with Nintendo. Each year seems to really do it for half the fans and lets down the other. But if Nintendo keeps to their releases schedule next year, I think they will satisfy the majority of people. So that’s my hope: 2023 will be the swan song for the Switch.
To me it felt like every non-rpg game from Nintendo this year had that one thing that disappointed or turned me off from buying.
(Except Kirby. Kirby was great)
Yay review of 2022!!
Can’t wait for a great 2023!! Feel 100% soon!
Kidnapping April O'Neil and sweeping Kano's tushy
Happy New Year!
Good year for nintendo. Better than 2017
Yep, agree. 👍
Honestly enjoyed this Year for games! After the Zelda Tears updates, I have not been so properly hyped for a Zelda game since Skyward Sword!! Tears has a lot of those Majoras Mask vibes, it feels much more like a return to the 'Traditional Zeldas' that I love.
Happy New Year to Arlo, Kane, and everyone who makes this Arlo channel the delightful space it is
Mario Strikers is considered a massive disappointment by most of its players. You probably didn't feel this way because you only played it briefly, but there's very little variety and barely any content. Basically once you've played it for a couple of days you've seen everything that the game has to offer.
Even the free demo of Smash Bros. for 3DS had more variety and more staying power.
Arlo are you gonna do a prediction video for 2023??? That’s one of my favorite videos of the year on RUclips
Mario Strikers 3 could have been the next big thing, it mechanically plays great. But the online multiplayer is restrictive and discourages friends from playing together by limiting team play. This did a LOT of damage in the early days. I don’t know if the game can recover from that.
Everyone of the Mario Sports games should have been bangers. My favorite Mario sports series is the golf games and the last one, World Tour, was incredible. They literally could have just remade that game for the Switch and it would have been better than Super Rush.
I think those games really highlight why the Switch years of Nintendo have been a really mixed bag for me. There’s been amazing titles, don’t get me wrong, but there’s also been a lot of phoning it the heck in titles as well. Mario Sports games are the lettuce that holds the sandwich together: at first seemingly unimportant but when it’s bad, it makes the whole thing fall apart. Nintendo seems to be really good at giving us AAA titles and some solid A releases…. but what the hell happened to the nice creamy middle AA games? They just don’t seem to give a crap about those being evergreen.
There’s a reason why people still play the Mario Sports games on the Gamecube; they were quality releases. Instead, we got a sequel to Splatoon…. a game we got at launch that was honestly not all the different to the game on the Wii U. There’s a reason why people called Splatoon 2 essentially a Deluxe version of the Wii U title. Guess I’m just salty that we got that instead of a new Star Fox, F-Zero, Donkey Kong, hell I’d even take a Pushmo title at this point.
I have a very strong feeling Nintendo is going to do something weird with the special editions of Zelda TotK. I believe they are going to release a large special edition for some countries and a pitiful small one for others like they did for Skyward Sword. I really hope the Special Edition Switch isn't Japan only (if they decide to release one) or give a significantly different design to the three different regions they recognize.
the packaging and design of a totk oled was leaked on nintendo life and if i remember right the box was european, so i’d assume it’s hitting all regions
@@dopewizrd I think that leak is fake, and it's for one kinda silly reason and I could be wrong;
In TotK, Link's RIGHT arm is the one that turns glowy magical. But in that leak, the design referencing it is on the LEFT Joy-Con. Maybe it's just me but I feel like the team(s) that handle Zelda and Zelda-related merch have keener attention to detail than that.
Thanks for everything man. Of all the gaming stuff I follow I like your channel the best. Hope you had a good Christmas.
it's "live a live"
like "alive"
rhymes with like
both times.
it's ライブアライブ in Japanese
Refusing to acknowledge the Partner Direct at the end of June, even though it was friggin' LIT, especially compared to the showcases that came before two years prior.
My favorite 2022 release on switch was the Persona 5 port! I've been loving it, I'm glad its finally here
Yeah I got the port of P5R a few days ago and I too am really enjoying it! Interesting story and the time management aspect of the gameplay is actually pretty fun.
I'm so excited for the new Big Fat Review series and what you decide to do with it in the coming year :)
happy new year arlo 💙
Wheres the prediction vid
Happy new year
Love you Arlo, I know everyone says this but you truly are my favorite channel every since I found you. Keep up the great work and happy new year!
I love your videos,you're like a Ray of sunshine ✨
2023 predictions video with some butternut squash please?
What?
10:04 That Goalie took out his frustration on Mario's head
14:14 Kirby's Dream Buffet is super fun!
BUT whenever I try to play online now the rooms are always empty, I'm lucky if I find even 1 human to play with (the game will give you subpar bots to play with if no one enters your room within the time limit. The game doesn't tell you they're bots but you can double check by checking the players you recently played with in the switch friend menu. They're only an actual person if you saw them enter the room before the time was up.)
AND I really wish it had better local multiplayer, right now you can only have 2 players on the same console but it'd be so fun if I could just bring this game to a friend's house or something and let 4 people play. Mario kart has done this for years, there's no reason not to include 4 player local multiplayer D:
Basically as much as I want to play this game again I just can't find anyone to play with. The online servers are empty and I can't have fun sharing the game with my local friends because there's no local 4 player mode
Happy new Year Arlo!. I found your channel this year and you’ve quickly become my favourite Nintendo RUclipsr. Looking forward to the amazing content.perspectives you have in 2023 😊🎉
Arlo should review Mario and Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Splatoon 3.
