Probably the Algorithm means he gets better metrics from 2 channels than one, uploading on his main channel too often might sabotage his metrics on big videos
Yeah but he explained in the main channel he couldn't make heavy scripted Christmas videos this year so he would post simpler ones on TopicArlo instead. Because he wants to keep publishing the more polished videos on Arlo
I dont want to sound mean but does anyone else sort of feel a distaste with this? Like i am not complaining about more Arlo, but I am starting to wonder what even was the point of this channel when its barely different than the content from the main channel and is still getting the same amount of views, if not getting more views? Edit: Just wanted to put more cents into this. This channel was supposedly just meant for Arlo to ramble about stuff, mostly unrelated or not having the same production value as the other videos he make without fearing it would hurt the other content on his main channel, but now it feels like he is starting to move away from his main channel cause this channel has for some reason become such a big hit. Kind of same thing has happened with other creators as well, especially Scott The Woz. Like this video and the other prediction video, i get it that arlo had to lower the production value etc., but i just dont see why he just couldnt make the disclaimer on the main channel and then upload them over there as it is. This feels like an effort to move away his content that he used to make and put them over here which is not gonna help gaining more audiance for the real channel, but rather this channel. And also like, he has made tons of videos where he is just rambling about stuff with no big effort to them on the main channel before. But i just want to end with that i do NOT complain about more Arlo, I am just not really vibing with him semi-straying away from his main channel.
@@shigerumiyamoto9612the main thing is that these videos are unscripted. Plus who really cares if one channel gets more love, its still Arlo so I don’t really care. Same with Scott on Scott’s Stash.
I played and finished 14 games this year. Only 3 were on my original backlog. The others I either bought, borrowed, or already had but didn't have it on my list. I changed how I look at my list, but if I can finish another 12+ games in 2025, I'll be well on my way to finishing all of it. At my current rate, and factoring in new games as well as games I drop from my list, I could realistically finish it in 4-5 years.
The next e-shop needs better content filters. Even with adult things toggled off for results, you still see NSFW content. This is a problem on every storefront at this point, but I expect better from Nintendo and their "kid-friendly" cultivated public image.
It's more than just content filter. Their standard of quality has gone done terribly. "Hentai" ai generated slop with barely an excuse for gameplay should never make it on the switch to begin with. It shows they're willing to let anything that remotely sells on the store, and it completely kills any sort of store scrolling.
@@SpiritofLibegonThis. I don't mind things like Senran Kagura, GalGun, OmegaLabyrinth, or Seven Pirates H. Cheeky stuff where everyone knows what's up, but at least they're actual games. It's all the "H*nt*i This, H*nt*i That" garbage that serves no purpose that having people think they're clever marketers.
My wishlist. - Metroid 2 + 3 remastered - Windwaker + Twilight Princess - A new 3D Mario - God of War - The Greek Saga remastered. - The next Horizon game.
Thank you for that final wish, Arlo. 2023 was the worst year of my Life. 2024 has been incredibly difficult. But pretty much everything turned around in these last few months. Things are looking up for a Top 5 year next year and if that happens I'll remember your wish. Love ya, you wonderful monster. Have a Top 5 year, yourself 💙
I've been a fan of your content since you first started collaborating with Lockstin and have been watching ever since. The past few years of my life have been very difficult for personal reasons but watching creators like you on TH-cam is one of the only constants I have left that has helped me keep going. Thank you for being you, Arlo, and thank you for the well wishes. Merry Christmas! :D
I played them this year through Prime Ha...The Prime Trilogy this and they're very good games. I go back and forth on which is my favorite There are so many things I love from each title. I want to say 3 but my brain says it's probably 2
3:16 Now that you mention reviving an old IP, I think an Ice Climbers adventure game for Switch 2 would be really cool, since I don’t think there’s been a new entry in that series in decades
You would think that we miss long scripted videos and that we are sad that TopicArlo is slowly becoming the main channel.. Well, while there is some truth in this, I'm just so happy to see a lot more of videos per week and to get more of Arlo talking about stuff !!We love you man, and we are ready for the third and fourth channel ! Happy holidays everyone !
I think it's time we got a new big 3D Donkey Kong game. Like DK 64, but no loading screens as you save a interconnected kong island that's been taken over by King K.rool
DK Odyssey would honestly make me more happy than an odyssey 2 . The idea of DK getting that semi open world level experience with 100s of challenges and secrets, and of course, a unique gimmick, is just really appealing to me.
Yeah, art works because there's a proper relationship of care between the dev and the player. An ai can't care about what it generates, so the player won't care either.
I want to see Donkey Kong make a permanent comeback. It's pretty evident that Nintendo wants the series to be an A-Lister, but it often struggles to find a developer that can house the series. Retro Studios appeared to be that, but randomly vanished after TF and came back to do Prime 4. Hopefully DK can get a new game with someone, be it Retro or not.
I wouldnt mind if they left behind the current (ish) 3d artstyle. The extremely mario-esque pixar vibe they have going on. What if they went more artsy, made it 2d, or even went back to pixel? What if it was like octapath or dqiii&2, a blend of 2d and 3d
Glad you're making this video my wishlist is: Miitopia 2 Animal Crossing game Switch Sport Resorts Mario Kart 9 Mario Oddesey 2 A new Pokemon stadium or colloseum Luigi's Mansion 4 3d Kirby God theres a lot of games I'd like to see but most of all I want a Tomodachi Life 2
Don't worry Tomodachi Life 2 will happen if they do because I'm waiting for Tomodachi Life to come to Switch and for 3D Kirby I think it's gonna be a sequel for Kirby and the Forgotten Land and it would be cool to see King Dedede, Meta Knight, Clawroline, and Elfilin being playable characters to go along with Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee and also adding new copy abilities and upgrades, new Mouthful Modes, and new Lands to explore and yeah.
@connorj1165 kirby games don't usually have direct sequels (with the exception of the dreamland (technically) quadrology). I think it may still have the copy ability upgrades, and more characters may be playable (like MK and D3), but the mouthful modes seem like a one game thing. I'm hoping for something dream related (like dream team) or something entirely space related (like Mario Galaxy) myself.
I don’t mind these kinds of videos as they’re the ones that made the original Arlo channel what it was during the original Switch lead up. The Arlo channel clearly became something different during the life of the Switch, but this conversational style of video is what made it special. I’m glad we’re getting this content, even if on a different channel
Switch 2 release wishlist: 1. Metroid Prime 4 2. Pokemon Legends: Z-A 3. Xenoblade Chronicles X 4. Remake of Twilight Princes AND/OR Ocarina of Time + Majora’s Mask 5. New 3D Mario
@@Edo_Luna_ I mean it's possible. They released Pikmin 1 and 2 together and 3D Allstars had 3 entire 3D Mario games. Sure, the Zelda games were Remastered versions, but still.
For the new 3D Mario, I would love to see them expand on the design mentality they had for Bowser's Fury, but maintain the perfect control and gameplay feel Odyssey had. I'm also hoping they give us the next big step for their NSO. Realistically I can see them giving Nintendo DS NSO a shot next, though Gamecube would also be a lovely surprise. And of course, more banger additions to the N64 and GBA NSO
I really don't get the obsession people have with a bloodborne remaster. the original was a ps4 game, it still looks and feels really good, and it's playable on ps5. Like, if yall were asking for ports to other systems I'd understand but what's even the point of a remaster?
Thank you Arlo, for being an amazing person! My wish is that the next Animal Crossing game keeps the same ideas of New Horizons, but expands and refines them. I wish we will see announcements for the new Mario Kart, another Mario sports game, a bunch of remakes, and a bunch of smaller games with the Switch 2 announcement in January, with a March release date. I also wish Metroid Prime 4 to release in October, possibly Oct. 10th, with the Prime Trilogy being shadow dropped after they announce the release date for MP4 in June. I wish for a FZero X & GX+ remaster, where they do something similar to Smash Ultimate by recreating every track in the series, add every racer, add a track editor, expand the garage, and include all of the music across the series. Let's take a step back from Nintendo and look at Playstation. I wish for another Ratchet and Clank game for the PS5. I wish Jak & Daxter would make a return. I wish for another Infamous where we get to play with a new set of powers. I wish for any reason to play my PS5.
Thank you for the well wishes Arlo and I hope your year is great too. I could really go with a very good year after this year has been fairly awful or lackluster in several ways. However, it's always comforting to come and listen to you talk about something.
@@greyowl3787 This is probably bait but incase not It'll probably get an fps boost on switch 2. I personally am playing the game fine at the fps it is. I don't think 60fps is very important for a turn based rpg even with the reaction elements.
Genuinely can't even tell it's not 60fps. For a game like this it's not a huge deal. But yeah Nintendo should throw in an option if you want more fps for worse visuals@@greyowl3787
One of my weird hopes that no one talks about but that I really want for Nintendo is that they make a way to gift eShop codes directly through the eShop. There are so many games that I want to send to people as gifts that you can't get through retailers, and there's just no good way to do that through the eShop.
I wonder if Nintendo isn't jumping to tv shows and all is partially because they already have long-running comics for their popular series. Mario, Kirby, Zelda, Splatoon... they may not be AS big over here, but they're certainly classics in Japan. But also, that should be THE reason they should be making series of them. I guess comics are just low risk and low cost. Like, if they adapted the Mario comic, people would call it character assassination. He's basically a completely different character in the comic.
Hear me out: ARMS but theres a single player campaign that is somewhat similar to SF6’s where there’s an open world city, you can run around, talk to characters, unlock cosmetics, ARMS, etc. I’d like to see the ARMS characters and a little more super hero-like, and with their funky arms and certain abilities you can run around the city doing stuff like spiderman-ing with the arms between buildings, or that kinda deal. I miss ARMS
Merry Christmas arlo! Thanks for all the fun and discussion you’ve given us it’s always a joy to watch when you upload. My main hopes for 2025 are that Sony does get back on track, which I think is possible given Astrobot, and that we get ports of windwaker and twilight princess as I’ve never played either of those.
Have a wonderful year too Arlo tysm!! I would love Metroid Prime 2 and 3 to be ported/remastered and be before 4, as I just beat Metroid Prime and loved it a whole lot, and want to play 2&3 before 4! I definitely do want both more indie games to get a big spotlight on them, alongside the gaming industry to not be so cruel next year.
Do you think it's just gonna be that planet robobot remaster/remake, or do you think that they may announce the next 3d Kirby game and release it within the year.
@@Silverguise admittedly it is a bit more mature then what nintendo would do for starfox. It would resembles something more like "The Battle Begins" which is fine, I would take it.
You know what they should do? They don't even need to stop adding the cheap low quality stuff. Just have sections. Nintendo published. Then third party games. Then like a nintendo seal of quality games. This can be the smaller stuff, but things that have been tested and played by like... reps at nintendo. Then everything else. It would make it easier to find hidden gems that aren't necessarily by big devs.
For me, it's an Epic 3D Mario, a new big DK adventure, bringing Yoshi to 3D or another 3D Kirby, and a revival of Star Fox. And please, Lord, would somebody take on Banjo Kazooie!! If it's good it will definitely sell well
3:52 Arlo saying "just give us something new" after describing the exact thing Nintendo's been doing for the last 30 years was a brutal reminder of what kind of fan this guy is.
My tall wishes: +3D Mario game with both epicness of Mario Galaxy and wackiness of Mario Wonder +ARMS 2, as adventure game +Awesome indie games +Happiness
Honestly speaking , even if they do ''mess up'' the e-Shop the Successor will still be selling like hot cakes. _But_ of course We can all hope they don't mess up(!)
Let's see....my wishlist for 2025 is: -New Fire Emblem game announced or old game (optionally a remake) ported into the eShop -Deltarune ch 3 released -A old Zelda game being available for the eShop (and not kept behind the Game Pass) -Silksong DLC (I haven't played Hollow Knight but I will eventually, so hopefully the DLC comes out before I get into it) -New Ace Attorney game -Sword of the Sea getting a Nintendo port -Subnautica 2 gets a Nintendo port -Miitopia 2 -Persona 6 announced -Finally, Switch 2 will be revealed and can handle more massive games
5:30 But Arlo, when they "keep things close to their chest" the thing people say is "well, I guess they don't have any games coming out and it's going to be a slow year. Maybe they're not announcing things because they have nothing to announce." There's literally no winning with this. Either they announce games too early or people believe they're not making any more games.
I don’t want MK9 anytime soon. The ideal would be either a new F-Zero or a remaster of GX early on to hold people over racing game-wise in the meantime, while the MK devs figure out how to give us something fresh and polished.
I hope switch 2’s pack in game is a nintendo version of astro playroom/astro bot. A game that celebrates the new hardware while also referencing so many things from Nintendo’s past (like im talking DEEP cuts - reference the old toys, hotels, baseball, etc)
My tentativeness around a Nintendo tv show is that they are so protective of their IPs that I can’t imagine we would get the level of characters and story we would like
Arlo now: Don't reveal games too far in advance Arlo in 6 months after Switch 2 release: THE HYPE TRAIN IS HERE, WHERE ARE ALL THE GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS!?
1. Persona 6 reveal & release 2. Hades 2 full 1.0 release 3. Haunted Chocolatier Update 4. Switch 1 enhancements on Switch 2 5. Divinity Original Sin 3 announced 6. Oblivion Remake being real 7. F-Zero GX Remaster 8. Fable being awesome 9. Banjo Kazooie revival announced 10. Avowed being awesome Those are my biggest wishes for 2025 (for now).
Coming week there's the same amount of time between now and Metroid Prime 4's announcement, as between Metroid Prime 4's announcement and the launch of New Super Mario Bros Wii... Also, since Metroid Prime 4's announcement i obtained a master's degree and did a PhD 😅
Honestly, I'm kind of happy what happened in the game industry happened because these massive AAA studios are finally getting punished for making bad games. My hope is at least some of these companies get their act together and make games their fans like instead of whatever niche audience they were aiming for the past year. Also, for the Nintendo v Pocketpair case to conclude, hopefully in favor of dev creative freedom instead of the lazy mega-corpse.
10:39 2nd Person. You get a camcorder in-game you can carry for 1st person but it takes a hand, you can set it down for a static view or latch it to a moving object for a moving view.
Besides Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends ZA, I just want more FromSoft games ported to the Switch 2 and a Chrono Trigger remake for its 30th anniversary
6:30 Metroid Prime Remastered sold 1.3 million copies. It did not even sell half the amount that the original Metroid Prime sold (2.8 million). It's an absolute travesty but I'm afraid the series is all fan service at this point.
@@Romapolitan True. Still disappointing though that out of 145+ mio. Switch owners, only so less want to play one of the best games ever. Fortunately it's still enough to be worth it for Nintendo.
YESSSS!!! METROID SHOW!!!! i actually was thinking abt this a lil bit ago and i think it would be cool if the metroid show took each season as the game, so season 1 - zero mission, s2 - samus returns and so on and then they could interconnect to a larger Metroid Prime live action film
For me, there is only 1 thing on that list and it's ANYTHING related to kingdom hearts. Doesn't even have to be 4 if we get ANYTHING RELATED TO IT ILL BE HAPPY.
man, i just hope the new system is strong enough to stand a lot closer with the competition at a great price, while touting a great lineup of first and third party games
TopicArlo and the secondary channel Arlo. It's really happening

However, it's always comforting to come and listen to you talk about something.
I dont want to get my hopes up, but a remake of TTYD would be a dream come true...what do you mean that wasn't a dream?
Had me in the first half not gonna lie 😂
A _proper_ remake this time with decent framerate ? Yeah one can only hope
@@greyowl3787 This is probably bait but incase not It'll probably get an fps boost on switch 2. I personally am playing the game fine at the fps it is. I don't think 60fps is very important for a turn based rpg even with the reaction elements.
Genuinely can't even tell it's not 60fps. For a game like this it's not a huge deal. But yeah Nintendo should throw in an option if you want more fps for worse visuals@@greyowl3787
people put way too much importance on frame rate. A game isn’t good because it runs at 60fps
Bring back the Donkey Kong cartoon
Our love is stronger than a golden banana
SHOWER YOU IN COCONUT CREAM PI-HIEEEES
yes
Awww... thank you Arlo for wishing all of us well!!
One of my weird hopes that no one talks about but that I really want for Nintendo is that they make a way to gift eShop codes directly through the eShop. There are so many games that I want to send to people as gifts that you can't get through retailers, and there's just no good way to do that through the eShop.
Love the detail of all the background gameplay being in snow ❄️ ❤
I wonder if Nintendo isn't jumping to tv shows and all is partially because they already have long-running comics for their popular series. Mario, Kirby, Zelda, Splatoon... they may not be AS big over here, but they're certainly classics in Japan.
But also, that should be THE reason they should be making series of them. I guess comics are just low risk and low cost. Like, if they adapted the Mario comic, people would call it character assassination. He's basically a completely different character in the comic.
I'm excited for Deltarune chapter 3 and 4
Hear me out: ARMS but theres a single player campaign that is somewhat similar to SF6’s where there’s an open world city, you can run around, talk to characters, unlock cosmetics, ARMS, etc. I’d like to see the ARMS characters and a little more super hero-like, and with their funky arms and certain abilities you can run around the city doing stuff like spiderman-ing with the arms between buildings, or that kinda deal. I miss ARMS
Merry Christmas arlo! Thanks for all the fun and discussion you’ve given us it’s always a joy to watch when you upload.
My main hopes for 2025 are that Sony does get back on track, which I think is possible given Astrobot, and that we get ports of windwaker and twilight princess as I’ve never played either of those.
17:50 thank you arlo
Who's Arlo? Is that this channel's monster's second channel? Big TopicArlo fan. Maybe one day I'll look into this "Arlo" too.
The corporate speak had me laughing until I gagged 9:48
Perfect timing! I needed a breakfast watch. 😅
I appreciate you uploading Arlo! Have a great year as well :)
I only wish for 1 thing: Wind Waker and Twilight Princess to be finally be ported to switch
Those are two things.
@@PhaythGaming Not if ported like a pack...kind of
PERFECT Timing
All i want in life is Kirby air ride 2
That's easily the Gamecube game I've put the most time into. I wouldn't be surprised if I've put 1,000 hours in the 21 years I've played.
@Dad_Shoes Its awesome isnt it?!😊
Yes but it needs active online for it to work well, unfortunately may have to be live service but there is a right way to do it
@@raymondjones7423 Absolutely, I still play it regularly.
@@Stratilex Super Smash Bros. Ultimate heavily relies on online play and that isn't live service. It should be fine.
Thank you for this year Arlo. I do hope your 2025 is better than 2024
Merry Christmas Arlo! Much love 💕
Merry Christmas Arlo!
Have separate EShops for 3rd party titles and 1st party throwback resells.
I hope you have a great year too Arlo!🎉❤
My wish for next year is that Arlo is able to stay healthy so he can actually enjoy his year without suffering
Have a wonderful year too Arlo tysm!! I would love Metroid Prime 2 and 3 to be ported/remastered and be before 4, as I just beat Metroid Prime and loved it a whole lot, and want to play 2&3 before 4! I definitely do want both more indie games to get a big spotlight on them, alongside the gaming industry to not be so cruel next year.
Other than a new 3D Mario and new Kirby 2025 has already confirmed most of the game I want.
Do you think it's just gonna be that planet robobot remaster/remake, or do you think that they may announce the next 3d Kirby game and release it within the year.
Star Fox is so freaking perfect for an animated TV show and I'm so mad that it hasn't been a thing yet.
FR
Fox in Space gave the perfect pitch that we'll never see
@@Silverguise admittedly it is a bit more mature then what nintendo would do for starfox. It would resembles something more like "The Battle Begins" which is fine, I would take it.
I'm shocked that with how big of a Metroid fan is, Arlo doesn't really care about Silksong
Thank you and happy holidays!
ahh the days of the Dot Matrix Printer paper lists. ^_^.
then you take the long hole punched pieces and turn them into an accordion
You know what they should do? They don't even need to stop adding the cheap low quality stuff. Just have sections. Nintendo published. Then third party games. Then like a nintendo seal of quality games. This can be the smaller stuff, but things that have been tested and played by like... reps at nintendo. Then everything else. It would make it easier to find hidden gems that aren't necessarily by big devs.
if they reboot mario super show i'd actually cry
For me, it's an Epic 3D Mario, a new big DK adventure, bringing Yoshi to 3D or another 3D Kirby, and a revival of Star Fox. And please, Lord, would somebody take on Banjo Kazooie!! If it's good it will definitely sell well
3:52 Arlo saying "just give us something new" after describing the exact thing Nintendo's been doing for the last 30 years was a brutal reminder of what kind of fan this guy is.
Love the wishlists, never miss.
My tall wishes:
+3D Mario game with both epicness of Mario Galaxy and wackiness of Mario Wonder
+ARMS 2, as adventure game
+Awesome indie games
+Happiness
Honestly speaking , even if they do ''mess up'' the e-Shop the Successor will still be selling like hot cakes. _But_ of course We can all hope they don't mess up(!)
Let's see....my wishlist for 2025 is:
-New Fire Emblem game announced or old game (optionally a remake) ported into the eShop
-Deltarune ch 3 released
-A old Zelda game being available for the eShop (and not kept behind the Game Pass)
-Silksong DLC (I haven't played Hollow Knight but I will eventually, so hopefully the DLC comes out before I get into it)
-New Ace Attorney game
-Sword of the Sea getting a Nintendo port
-Subnautica 2 gets a Nintendo port
-Miitopia 2
-Persona 6 announced
-Finally, Switch 2 will be revealed and can handle more massive games
Silksong is a standalone sequel, but other than that yeah. +1 for FE, Deltarune and new Ace Attorney 😌
I fully believe an FE4 remake will be a title on switch 2
5:30 But Arlo, when they "keep things close to their chest" the thing people say is "well, I guess they don't have any games coming out and it's going to be a slow year. Maybe they're not announcing things because they have nothing to announce." There's literally no winning with this. Either they announce games too early or people believe they're not making any more games.
Well I think the best rule to follow is don't announce games that haven't even started developing yet.
Butternut Squash? Yes Please!
Splatoon anime would be so sick and has so much potential
It would just be an adaptation of the Splatoon Manga.
Definitely need Metroid Prime 2 and 3 and Twilight Princess and Wind Waker HD. Much copium
I don’t want MK9 anytime soon. The ideal would be either a new F-Zero or a remaster of GX early on to hold people over racing game-wise in the meantime, while the MK devs figure out how to give us something fresh and polished.
My gut says that we're getting a 3D Donkey Kong made by the Mario team. And that's why the leakers are saying no Mario.
I hope switch 2’s pack in game is a nintendo version of astro playroom/astro bot. A game that celebrates the new hardware while also referencing so many things from Nintendo’s past (like im talking DEEP cuts - reference the old toys, hotels, baseball, etc)
My tentativeness around a Nintendo tv show is that they are so protective of their IPs that I can’t imagine we would get the level of characters and story we would like
Arlo now: Don't reveal games too far in advance
Arlo in 6 months after Switch 2 release: THE HYPE TRAIN IS HERE, WHERE ARE ALL THE GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS!?
1. Persona 6 reveal & release
2. Hades 2 full 1.0 release
3. Haunted Chocolatier Update
4. Switch 1 enhancements on Switch 2
5. Divinity Original Sin 3 announced
6. Oblivion Remake being real
7. F-Zero GX Remaster
8. Fable being awesome
9. Banjo Kazooie revival announced
10. Avowed being awesome
Those are my biggest wishes for 2025 (for now).
Coming week there's the same amount of time between now and Metroid Prime 4's announcement, as between Metroid Prime 4's announcement and the launch of New Super Mario Bros Wii... Also, since Metroid Prime 4's announcement i obtained a master's degree and did a PhD 😅
Honestly, I'm kind of happy what happened in the game industry happened because these massive AAA studios are finally getting punished for making bad games.
My hope is at least some of these companies get their act together and make games their fans like instead of whatever niche audience they were aiming for the past year.
Also, for the Nintendo v Pocketpair case to conclude, hopefully in favor of dev creative freedom instead of the lazy mega-corpse.
Thank you Arlo for either great year of content. Really one of my favorite content creators
OMG MERRY CHRISTMAS ARLO
10:39 2nd Person. You get a camcorder in-game you can carry for 1st person but it takes a hand, you can set it down for a static view or latch it to a moving object for a moving view.
we need a metroid show so it can cross over with castlevania and be Metroidvania: the series
Besides Metroid Prime 4 and Pokémon Legends ZA, I just want more FromSoft games ported to the Switch 2 and a Chrono Trigger remake for its 30th anniversary
I for one could not be happier about the studio closures and layoffs. Just look at Ubisoft. They deserve it for what they push.
I would love a complete remake of ocarina of time in the style of botw.
6:30 Metroid Prime Remastered sold 1.3 million copies. It did not even sell half the amount that the original Metroid Prime sold (2.8 million). It's an absolute travesty but I'm afraid the series is all fan service at this point.
No remaster sells more than the original. Maybe a remake, but not a remaster that basically got show dropped. Your expectactions are misplaced.
@@Romapolitan True. Still disappointing though that out of 145+ mio. Switch owners, only so less want to play one of the best games ever. Fortunately it's still enough to be worth it for Nintendo.
I think the shadowdrop didn't do the game any favors, either
My only wish for 2025 is more deltarune. I know it’s supposed to come out but can never be sure.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, ARLO! 😃
My only wish is for the Prime 4 OST to be an absolute banger
YESSSS!!! METROID SHOW!!!! i actually was thinking abt this a lil bit ago and i think it would be cool if the metroid show took each season as the game, so season 1 - zero mission, s2 - samus returns and so on and then they could interconnect to a larger Metroid Prime live action film
I miss the old arlo Videos, peak being the 2022 hype list. Man, those Videos were great!
For me it's monster hunter wilds, metroid prime 4, and idk what else lol.
I just want our regularly scheduled "Pikmin 5 is coming soon" followed by a 10 year hiatus
Well Arlo...it's been a year....bring us Pikmin 5
Splatoon would go crazy as a show wtf. It gotta be hiphop infused like crazy
I hope Nintendo puts some cash in dev and publisher pockets for tailor made experiences on their console
For me, there is only 1 thing on that list and it's ANYTHING related to kingdom hearts. Doesn't even have to be 4 if we get ANYTHING RELATED TO IT ILL BE HAPPY.
I really like ghost of tsushima and I'm really looking forward to yotei!
a Castlevania quality Star Fox series, please?
man, i just hope the new system is strong enough to stand a lot closer with the competition at a great price, while touting a great lineup of first and third party games
