I love having Mario be surrealist and weird, it’s such a good vibe for Mario. Not dark weird, just whimsical, goofy weird.
Edit: okay I do like dark weird in my marios sometimes, but it has to be rare for the impact to be good. Whimsical weird should be the gold standard.
Odyssey had hints of it. Wonder is leaning wholeheartedly into it and I love it.
Mario doing a Wario basically and I'm here for it
What’s funny is that Mario is ALREADY surrealist and weird. It somehow this kicks it up to a whole other drugged out level. It’s awesome.
“You thought Mario was drugs? Well this is SUPER DRUGS!”
It’s so unashamedly wacky-it kinda reminds me of super paper Mario in that regard
@@JazGalaxygosh darn it how did this comment make me audibly laugh. :]
It's interesting how Mario games are looking more weird and embracing the weirdness and almost dream-like aspects of the series. A kind of like "now that I think about it, this is weird, so why don't we try this weird thing too?"
I think they struck gold in that area, since Mario lacks any real gimmick, they can do anything they want. I believe Odyssey is the epoch of that oh so good weirdness.
@@TheGravityShifterMario's gimmick is that he's an Italian-American from Brooklyn
Because that's what Mario is supposed to be. He's a guy that fights turtles and eats mushrooms with the goal of saving his girlfriend (who happens to be a princess). Remember that scene when Mario first turned into a frog in Mario Odyssey? We need more of those weird, out there concepts and visuals if we want to see Mario return to form and succeed with the new games
Mario is taking a page out of wario’s book
@@Gloomdrake Only in style but yes lol
The thing that really impresses me about Penny’s Big Breakaway is how dedicated to the yo-yo gimmick it is. Everything involves the yo-yo. Sprinting is riding on the yo-yo like a unicycle. The air dash throws the yo-yo ahead and then uses the string to pull you to it. They didn’t HAVE to tie those moves to the yo-yo, but they did. To make the game more focused on its gimmick. And that shows love and attention.
Just what I would except from a game made by Evening Star games (libe that Knuckles Chaotix reference), they did make Sonic Mania alongside Headcannon after all.
It looks like what I wanted Yooka-laylee to be in terms of gameplay. I'm stoked.
These are the long forgotten words of a very wise man:
"So long, gay bowser".
Mario-1996
Mario's model in the RPG remake is just so good. He's this chonky lil man and I love him.
Same we both want to sleep with him so bad.
@@meatball533640 year old plumber booty 🥵
I hope Mario enters rehab and gets the help he needs.
The mushrooms have finally gotten to him
Glad to know I'm not alone in my thoughts
Like 69!
It may be the actual reality of the world he lives in
if he did that, there wouldn't even be a series anymore
I knew I was a fan of 2D mario but I didn't realise how much until I saw how excited Wonder made me. I can't wait
Right? After a decade of New Super Mario Bros being rehashed over and over again, I'm beyond excited to see Wonder.
@ionlydrinkjesusmilk7256 I actually love the NSMB games, but I am happy to see something new. Though in a way it was expected, I feel like this had to be what a post Mario Maker 2D Mario game would look like
@@ionlydrinkjesusmilk7256They listened to everyone’s wish that all of new super mario bros u was like that one level that was like a painting
This is the first time i've heard somebody else use the Wonder title, and it's cool.
SAME!
I think the reason they chose mint chip instead of chocolate is because so far each splatfest has had an obvious popular choice from the beginning so they are trying to avoid that
I feel they wanted to avoid making it look like they were shooting a bunch of "shiny brown substance" around the map. Little did they know the "white stuff" is just as awkward.
@@MrTailson1oh no it's gonna be the mayo all over again isn't it
Simpler reason: They already had a splatfest featuring dark/milk/white chocolate.
To quote NCS: IN THE BATHROOM!
They should of went with Chocolate, Strawberry, and Mint Chip if that was the case because not many people are gonna pick Vanilla
My favourite direct in years, full of wackiness and whimsey.
I absolutely love that they kept the Super Mario RPG characters all short and dumpy-looking. The game always had a sort of toy-like or claymation feel to it, so having the characters still look a little weird is perfect.
It's that same dark, spooky, Germanic folklore forest sort of aesthetic that garden gnomes come from, so I think it really fits!
Geno is literally a doll
They're really getting back into their experimental GameCube phase and I'm all for it. Please no more generic toads...

@@Memeking1179u literally.
The reason I bought Origami King.
Dark material, actual story, a villain made to kind of make fun of people like me in a lighthearted way. It's actually what I wanted
@@CassiusStelarit’s a shame Arlo wasn’t able to get into that the same way you did
Far too soon to say that but it is a step in the right direction.
Honestly was thinking the same thing, was giving off major gamecube vibes and I'm all for it.
Here's my theory for Dark Moon. I think there is going to be more info on it and Peach's game at the February direct next year. I also think Luigi's Mansion 1 will get Shadow Dropped there, with Dark Moon scheduled for March 24th (it's 10 year anniversary)
Sounds like a definite likelihood to me...
yea idk why they would do Dark Moon but not the first one. maybe since it's only been 5 years since LM1 HD
@@carl_consumer.of.reality My guess because they already remade the first game on the 3DS and they wanted to bring Dark Moon to a home console system considering it was the only mainline game of the Luigi's Mansion series to be on a handheld.
Sounds perfectly reasonable. If they said it was coming this year I would have guessed around Halloween, but they didn't and it was one of two games they bothered to say was coming out next year so first third of the year sounds likely. Might hear about it in September, if it's Jan/Feb.
This direct was a "sneaky good" one to me. And what I mean by that is my first time through it, only a couple titles really snagged my attention immediately; the Super Mario RPG and Pikmin 4.
But then as I sat down and processed each title, I began thinking, "Ya know what? This one could a banger... this one looks like it has promise too... okay... I'm picking up what this one is puttin' down..."
I think this entire direct is a better celebration of Mario than all of the 35th anniversary
Right? And the best part is it doesn’t matter what kind of Mario fan you are. You’re a Luigi’s Mansion fan? You’re covered. You like Warioware? Got something for you. You’re one of five Super Princess Peach fans? Believe it or not, you’re covered. Mario Kart? Check. You just like the traditional platformers? Here ya go! And if you’re an RPG fan? One of your biggest wishes just came true, happy birthday.
Nah. You had more with the 35th.
@@thelastdragon55513 game vs 5 games. Also weird that donkey Kong is still dead
I think that many things planned for the 35th was pushed back by Covid tho…
@@kirbehetcetera So you agree with me 35th had more?
I like how the direct started with Pokémon and then ended with Mario's fursona
Well since the game will need to allow all the characters to use all the upgrades...it's Peach's as well. And I think the internet is going to run with it.
So bowsers fursona is catbowser, Mario’s is elephant Mario…is Luigi’s going to be a kangaroo?
Same thing
@@SuperPrestogamerimagine if he gets a rhino
@@SuperPrestogamerkitsune luigi my guy
The color palette and overall design of Penny's Big Breakaway reminds me a lot of the more original elements of Sonic Mania, and that's a good thing.
Yeah, Studiopolis Zone vibes from the level they showed.
this really opens the door in my heart for another classic paper mario. if NSMB can redeem itself, then i have a little bit of hope
Hey I love nsmb but excited for a new one too
@@willwunsche6940 I like NSMB too, but I mean it was in a rut for so long in terms of innovation. if a series so notorious for being (let's face it) bland can wow us again, then paper mario could definitely turn around and make a big comeback. that's what I hope anyway
@@mino2123 well yeah it was certainly time for something now
I bet that hope is much higher now 😊
ik its 5 months later but its not a nsmb lol
The reason they didn't do chocolate for this Splatfest is precisely because we already had an entire Splatfest entirely around chocolate, which was Dark Chocolate vs Milk Chocolate vs White Chocolate.
Happy you got so much stuff coming your way, Arlo. All of Pikmin on one console, how wonderful !
laaaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I thought it was cuz chocolate would look too much like diarrhea
I love how this Mario game is really leaning into the "shrooms" psychedelics
Which is ironic considering the "wonder" item is a flower, probably done on purpose now that I think about it.
Just like in Yoshi's Island with touching fuzzies
I would rather have a Donkey Kong game where he smokes weade.
@@BBWahoo - I don’t know what those words mean.
@@BBWahoo Donkey kong's been doing too much banana monkaW
Kamek was originally planned to be in Mario Kart 64, and actually appears in some early screenshots, but was cut for the final game. So it's a fun nod for him to finally be in a mainline game.
This direct was phenomenal just for the reveal of Super Mario RPG Remake. This announcement is up there with Banjo and Goldeneye on NSO, and Sora and Banjo in Smash.
Waaaaay above them😊😊😊
Here's hoping for Banjo in Banjo 3
I am not a SMRPG fan or even that knowledgeable about it but that reveal shocked me. So happy for all you SMRPG fans!
It's more of a Remaster then a Remake, but besides that, I'm actually so hyped, Mario RPG is one of my favorite games, and now having the ability to play it again with a fresh coat of paint is just insane. Maybe now there's hope for a Paper Mario or Mario And Luigi Remaster.
The reason it's not chocolate for the splatfest is most likely because they technically already did a chocolate splatfest with Milk vs Dark vs white chocolate
to add onto that: it’s probably because they can’t reuse splatfest colors, and chocolate ice cream and milk chocolate would have the same color.
@@aurallyaddison
Wouldn't white chocolate and vanilla have very similar ink colors too though?
And I think a similar shade of blue might've been also used between the Water team in the Pokemon crossover and another Splatfest?
I also think its that they want to at least try to keep the teams balanced, and they believe that having chocolate would severely imbalance the teams.
@@Chugalg then why'd thy have Mint chip there.
Easy Big Man W.
@@bluebaron6811Some people don't like mint.
“Flowers talk to you”
“Mario was an elephant”
“*Daisy is playable*”
Ah yes all weird things
Even Nintendo knows daisy isn’t usually playable in Mario bros
@@genzsavedamerica2234 yeah but I think it was more of a "hey look at the stuff you can do in this new game" thing
Daisy in a non-spinoff is pretty weird. Am I wrong or was Super Mario Land the last time?
But they are
All 3 of these definitely come from an acid trip
I believe for the splat fest choices, that they're deliberately picking ice cream flavours to match with ink colors, and brown ink would look like... something else. Not exactly something fun to think about
Honestly I think that this one of the best directs that has come out recently. With the announcements of Mario RPG Remake and Super Mario Bros. Wonder it shows that Nintendo is okay with changing up and expanding their art style with Mario which has been a very sanitized franchise for quite a while now.
this is the happiest a direct has made me as a pikmin fan
I'm genuinely so happy for you!
@@lizzyblitz07 thank you, i really needed to hear that
I almost had a heart attack when they announced the ports of Pikmin 1 and 2
They really mentioned HD ports of Pikmin 1 and 2 and said:
"By the way, they are coming out today. Have fun!"
I've never played them, but this looks like my opportunity to change that.
shame they changed the logos..
@@chickennugget6684At least the logos in the title screens of the games themselves are faithful and look great in HD.
I was still half asleep in bed watching recaps and I shrieked and shot out of bed at "available today"
One of my favorite things about the old Mario games, is they all had their own styalized aesthetic, and I'm happy that they are returning to that.
I imagine they didn't include chocolate as a Splatfest flavor because that would mean one team is shooting brown goop all over the stage, and some players could get the wrong idea that it doesn't represent chocolate.
“Why mint chip? Why not chocolate?”
The splatfest colours are based on ice cream flavours and I question the wisdom of having a game where you squirt brown fluid across the stage.
Literally everyone would pick chocolate for the poop jokes, I can see your point
@@JDLMgreat, now everybody will pick Vanilla for the cum jokes
Doesn’t seem much different than squirting white liquid across the screen.
on second thought, didn't we already have brown ink for team milk chocolate? what's the harm in doing it again? and i don't think the fact that we had a chocolate themed splatfest should mean that we don't have chocolate as a team in the ice cream splatfest
There is the possibility that it's just Big Man trying to subvert expectations, since it does seem to be his Team for the Splatfest.
Honestly between the Mario RPG remake, Peach's game, and Super Mario Wonder, its glorious how much the core Mario series appears to be embracing the the weird and off beat again. Its worlds away from the 2010's sterilization the IP went through and we're all the better for it.
Believe it or not, the most exciting thing out of this direct to me was Batman Arkham trilogy… ever since I bought the switch I’ve wondered how awesome would’ve been to fly through Gotham in handheld mode or just play those games at comute… that’s finally becoming a reality to me haha
OHH MY GOOD FINALLY SOMEONE WHO FEELS THE SAME
I am so happy that they brought Pikmin 1 and 2 to the switch, cannot wait to get them
I feel like the only reason they didn't have Chocolate in the Splatfest instead of Mint Chip is because they knew Chocolate would just win in a landslide (or, a _mudslide_ one might say)
What a _Smear Campaign_ that would've been...
That and they probably didn't want the area to be covered in brown.
@@lydiajulianprower8356And white fluids are better?
@@blazeplayz9703 Let's not go there.
@@lydiajulianprower8356they’ve done brown before. they’ve done white before. they knew they couldn’t handle both at once
Elephant Mario is cool and all, but wait until you see Elephant Luigi, Toad, Peach, Daisy, and Yoshi
Yes
I hope the elephant power up is excessive to Mario or Luigi, kinda like in Mario 64 DS, because I don’t think Nintendo will have the audacity to include elephant Yoshi and make him as cursed as possible
Possibly more cursed idea, it turns them all into different animals and we get human Yoshi.
Rule 34’s already having its fun with the concept.
@@magicfishhobo381That’s insane but I need that to happen.
I’ve been looking forward to seeing your take on the direct all day!
There are people in Japan and Korea that have big problems with mint-flavored food as they feel it tastes like toothpaste when in fact it's meant to be the other way around to make toothpaste taste like a fresh treat. Mint chip might've been included to be a controversial choice for them while also including chocolate in the chip part.
i kinda feel the same way actually. Don't really like minty chocolate mostly because it's just toothpaste flavor lol
TIL they decided mint should be toothpaste flavor so that it'd taste nice... what
I’ve been thinking about this for a while, and I’m now comfortable saying that Pikmin 4 feels like a fan-Pikmin-game. Like, if you frequented Pikmin fan sites as a kid, there were a lot of tropes for proposals for fan games.
More human stuff, night mode, like 8 playable characters including Olimar’s dog Bulby (I know Oatchi is different, but he’s still a dog), bringing back the caves … like, this game feels identical to one off the pitches for a Pikmin sequel I read online as a kid. All that’s missing is a grim dark storyline and an infeasible amount of pikmin types.
*inhales copium* We MIGHT still get a decently dark storyline and more pikmin types!
Let's hope it isn't so.
Dark storyline? Olimar is pikminefied like in the bad ending of Pikmin 1. How is that not dark?
Idk, 9 types is a whole lot of Pikmin
I mean, I feel like Red, Blue, Yellow, Flying, Rock, White, Purple, Glow, Ice is already a near unfeasible amount. And Bulbmin might be back too since we're headed underground again.
As a yoyoer penny’s big breakaway is so hype. 1: the breakaway is an actual yoyo trick that’s fairly obscure so this tells me they know actual yoyo stuff and it looks so fun. Very excited to try it
…isn’t a breakaway the side toss that you go into the trapize? Thats not obscure at all?
Definitely my surprise game of the Direct, it looked really fun
I am not really excited for it myself but I just have to say this type of comments make me so happy, a hobbyist sees some hobby related stuff, appreciates it and gets hyped. I am so happy for you. Hope this game won’t disappoint
It gave me klanoa vibes and once they said it was made by the mania team I knew I have to check it out
I really hope Nintendo can finally losen up a little, and not make everything generic. This direct hints heavily towards that hope they keep it up!
I love this direct so much because the company finally took a risk
Which they never do anymore
I just know you're freaking out over the Pikmin reveals. I'm super excited for the Super Mario RPG, and let's not forget the epic meme that is Elephant Mario. All so great.
Nobody with a brain should pay those insane prices. Nintendo fans don't exactly have a high bar though so this is predictable
@@johndodo2062 What?
@@johndodo2062 they didnt even mention any prices in the direct
@@johndodo2062 BOT LMAO
I'm glad i'm not the only one who felt a weird vibe on this Direct. I enjoyed it a lot, particularly pikmin and pokemon, but it still felt strange.
Too good to be true
I have trust issues with Nintendo ….
Edit: and I believe they announced all the games to keep the switch alive until the next console is released along with a new 3D Mario. (and possibly a new DK and everything that we are craving for).
This definitely was an odd direct and I love it. It was so Nintendo in its curated novelty, it felt like they had a general theme. They are trying lots of interesting stuff now that maybe wouldn’t have been as exciting in the earlier years of Switch. I’m most excited for Mario Wonder. Has some DKC vibes to it as well as NSMB mixed with all the jr high school jokes kids used to make about Mario taking shrooms.
On the splatfest theme: yes i agree that mint chip isn't really 'in a set' with chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla, but they did just do an entirely chocolate themed splatfest, and i think they do try to avoid too much repetition in the themes.
Also mint chocolate chip is my favorite ice cream flavor so i may be biased haha
I’d called this direct the most Nintendo direct ever lol very fun and whimsical
I feel like the bizarreness of super mario wonder almost makes it feel like a spiritual successor to super paper mario. I'm so excited for it
The whole aesthetic reminds me of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, personally.
It looks like Mario finally graduated from shrooms to peyote flowers which are a whole different level of intense.
Can't wait to see the elephant forms for Daisy and Peach
Kamek being in Mario Kart was honestly the highlight for me lol. Him and King Bobomb have been the two characters I wanted added most and I didn't think either of them would actually be included in one the dlc waves but here he is. Also I love Luigis Mansion Dark Moon and I'm super excited that its getting a remaster for switch! Weird that they aren't doing the original game though to complete the trilogy.
Ooooooooh yeeeeeeesssss
That was my first thought with Luigi's mansion too. Why not do the first one that I would think a lot of people havent played
This was honestly a contender for the most hype direct since the Everyone Is Here Trailer and I’m not joking in the slightest. I am so full of joy.
Smash is overrated tho, there were better directs that that
@@BahhBahhBrownSheep Have the opinion of the actual game all you want, but there was a magic in that trailer that I have never felt watching anything else.
@@Mystic-Aidan Everyone is here made me happy in a way an ad has no right to do. It just kept getting better and better.
100% agree. This one hit me in all of the right ways the same way that smash ultimate direct did.
as a chocolate ENTHUSIAST, a chief of all things choccy, count cocoa, i was absolutely devastated at the splatfest teams. they KNEW team chocolate was gonna sweep, they were just too scared to see our carnage
I think the best way to articulate why I'm not excited about the new warioware is pointing out: we just got one two years ago, and it also means we aren't getting a new or ported rhythm heaven for a bit, since the team was busy. Get it together was fun, but it seemed to be setting down foundation for the series to go new places in the future, become more of its own thing, than just a minigame collection hosted by wario. And then we just went back. Even as someone who's a moderate warioware fan I just, didn't want to see this.
If they had shown Metroid Prime 4, this would have been the best Direct ever. But as a Mario fan, I'm extremely happy.
We already had a Splatfest centered entirely around chocolate back in February. I think that’s why Mint Chip is in its place this time.
if there was chocolate i would have a solid choice but idk about a team rn
@@TaxeAndStuff Same. I am split between mint chocolate chip and vanilla. If it was real life I would go cookie dough 🍪
Penny's Big Breakaway looks awesome and I don't know why it's giving me Gex vibes, but I can only hope it's as good.
Lately your content makes me happy, thank you Arlo. Never stop being your weird self.
This Direct reminded me of the GameCube Era
I need more of this
When they were about to announce the peach game and said mario wasn't the only one getting a game immediately thought waluigi lol
ME TOO!!!
Would've been the perfect Direct to announce it - a game with Playable Waluigi would be as Weird as you could get from Nintendo - and we have WarioWare!😂
Honestly I'm crazy hyped for the Super Mario RPG! And that Peach game has me very excited as well!
I've never played Pikmin, got a Dreamcast instead of the Game Cube, but this latest direct, really makes me want to get into it!
Elephant Mario is giving me... reservations? I might be wrong, but I think this is the first time he's ever fully fused into something via a power-up. Usually he just gets a costume change, but here he's 89% elephant.
It's been said over and over but the Penny's game looks like it would have been right at home as a hidden gem platformer on the 64.
Mario trusts his mushroom foraging a bit too much, and Wonder is just the result of his luck catching up to him.
As someone who is super familiar with SMRPG and the different toads from the original are all still here like we saw at the marrymore at 9:46 and in peaches castle with the chancellor at 9:42 so I don’t think all will be replaced with generic ones
UPDATE: there have been more images being shown on Nintendo’s Japanese website for the game and there’s 2 screenshots that prove definitively that they didn’t replace the original Mario characters with generic ones. One shows the first boss against the hammer bros and another show a yoshi race where you can see toads to the right that are the same as the original
As Chuggaaconroy said: "Finally! The Mario RPGs aren't trash!!"
Actually, if you look at the throne room one minor change is that Toad and the Not Toad Toads are now visually distinct.
Toad has a blue vest while the rest have red vests. In the original all the generic Toads were indistinguishable from Toad.
@@verdantmistral442 hmmm I never noticed that
@@TheLegoNation Yeah in the original all the Mushroom Kingdom guards had the same Sprite as Toad. Red spots and Blue vest. Now they are wear red vests but Toad is still wearing blue.
It is interesting because outside of sports games Toad hasn't been used much with Capt. Toad seeming to replace him or just being replaced with generic Toads himself.
So its neat to see him be distinct in a game where he wasn't before.
To be honest: It was the best Direct I have ever seen ❤
I am happy they are delivering with the Mario stuff. I was very pleased
To me this direct is 15 minutes of pure ecstasy with the Mario and Pikmin news, couples with the MSG collection and Detective Pikachu announcement, and the rest is just that one Just Dance showcase.
Haven’t watched yet, but I was right there screaming with you for all the Pikmin news!! It’s truly a sight to behold
WHAT HOW DID I NOT KNOW YOU WERE STREAMING!!!!! i gotta start watching them
With that double shadow drop today and Arlo streaming on twitch, I feel like a Pikmarathon is in order.
One comment before watching, Super Mario RPG alone made this my favourite direct of all time. Super Mario Wonder sealed the deal.
If they put in plain chocolate as an option, it would've probably been the runaway favorite and I'm sure they knew it. Mint chip was entirely intentional.
Glad to hear you are streaming
I’m hyped for Wonder and RPG! Good Christmas gifts.
im so happy that pikmin 4 is getting a demo. i honestly dont know if the pikmin series is for me, but i really want to try it out!
i just wish every game got a demo. i would get so many more games
Im obsessed with your profile pic 😂
So many games/series I have bought and gotten into due to demos. They really are great
I just pirate stuff to try before I buy. If they don't want me to do that then make a damn demo lol
@@mikehunt5542and then you buy after? based
@@roachdoggjr7020 yup I usually just play it for an hour or two to see if I like it. For me games are huge purchases so I just can't afford to buy a game and not like it.
Was worried this was going to be a placeholder Direct, since most of the things in the beginning we already knew about and a few had even been announced in other showcases, but then they just kept surprising me.
This was the best direct in recent memory, and I’m at best a casual fan of all the franchises talked about in it.
SMB Wonder is the inevitable conclusion to the question "How do we make a Mario game worth buying in a world with Mario Maker?"
Loving the trippy Mario - the art style looks amazing
Same
I quite literally just finished the live reaction. What timing.
Same!
Loving pikmin one! Been trying to emulate it and suffered to do it and immediately bought the bundle!
If they're bringing back Super Mario RPG, maybe there's the smallest glimmer of hope for Paper Mario...
Press X to Doubt.
My biggest worry for pikmin 4 is that there isn’t going to be any main characters to care about. You create your own avatar and so far they seem lifeless like miis. I hope they bring back the old captains we loved or at least find a way to make the new characters entertaining.
Why don’t you care about yourself
It looks like there’s gonna be plenty of characters to care about. Did you forget about the whole mechanic of rescuing crew members? They made a big deal about it
I thought people liked miis
@@megastarwarsrocks99 🤣
16:30 I literally just did because I realized I forgot. Thanks, Arlo!
Had more fun with this Direct than I usually do
I've just been going from Direct video to direct video. The party's still rolling!
I'm really interested in the Pikmin series now that all 4 games are on the Switch. I have 3 on the Wii U and tried playing it, but I didn't know what I was doing so I gave up. I can't play it now since my gamepad has a slight drift, so this 2nd wind (for lack of a better term) for the series has really piqued my interest.
the first detective Pikachu left off on a horrible cliffhanger and I played it back long ago waited so long for this
Arlo you might be the first person I've seen who wasn't absolutely thirsting over ganondorf's design.
Arlo I love your videos and your streams. I really loved the pre direct stream you did earlier it was fun to watch.
This direct was AMAZING! 4 Mario games with the return of SUPER MARIO RPG and an actual "new" Super Mario Bros. Game! Plus a peach game. Can't wait to play it!
Neat how mamuta and armoured cannon beetle are back which kind of makes sense considering the pikmin 1 and 2 ports
Thank you so much for talking about pennys big breakaway I think it looks awesome and no one is talking about it. I love the artstyle too
This direct was epic and weird arlo! One of the best IN YEARS!
Love your videos, Arlo! Keep up with the good work!!
Great job, Arlo.
Like Penny Snapcube said, I'd describe this direct as "Nintendo Direct Squished" because very character just got half of their height removed in almost all games shown at the start and inbetween.
I get it’s not Arlo’s thing but I’m so excited for the new warioware! One of my most played wii games Smooth Moves and this is just more of that
Smooth moves was awesome. Great game
To me, this direct was great. Nintendo came out swinging and showed the switch still has something in the tank till at least 2024. It also shows Nintendo knows what people want and are actually starting to give it to us.
This was probably my favorite direct ever. I got everything I wanted and more.
great summary of the direct kept on point and love the reviews
I'm most excited about Star Ocean 2. I haven't ever played any of the Star Ocean games, but the art style intrigued me, the premise interested me, and the game fully captured my attention when it went into combat and the audio descended into a cacophony of character battle voice lines. I love me a JRPG with battle voice line soup.
