I'm absolutely the kind of person who would normally be annoyed with something like a cursor in the middle of the screen all the time, but if that's pushing you away from the game just know that it was never a problem for me. When you're playing you don't really notice that it's there unless you're using it, and it's probably a lot more obvious when you're just watching footage of the game. Just something to think about.
Arlo I just want to say thank you for all of the videos you have created. Arlo, your personality and persona match perfectly, and you take a grain of salt for every game. Even if it is not your favorite, you find a way to show both pro and cons for all. Arlo, thank you for working very hard and giving it your all for good reviews for people who are considering the game. Nice review video as well! I hope to see more of you and your videos in the future! I wish you the best! Sincerely, PixelPerfect 😊 P.S. If you do a review on Super Smash Bros, please give a nice shoutout to the Inkling please! She/He’s a new character and needs some love! 💜
Arlo would you want a Diddy Kong Racing sequel that added characters from My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, Kirby, The Amazing World of Gumball, Bomberman, RWBY, Pop Team Epic, Persona 5 and FLCL? Kirby in particular gets pushed heavily as the protagonist
Speaking of those snacks, I called Nintendo customer service and the guy on the line was eating something. He was typing at the computer and said it was national cheese day, so nintendo gave everyone string cheese XD Gotta love nintendo
Axel Gray Whatever. I was actually on the phone and that actually happened. We even joked how Sony and Microsoft wouldn't give out cheese to their employees on national cheese day. I was calling about a broken joy con analog stick (right joy con, gray). I even have a repair number. But hey, I guess I was just doing to for attention, right? No one can tell a funny story cause it's all made up
We all know that in recent years, Toad has been seen as annoying and a nuisance. But you have to admit. He is one of the most darn cute characters to bless our souls.
As someone who's never played the Wii U version & only played the Switch version, I gotta say I really enjoyed this game. It's a really fun game that I managed to sinked my teeth into. I'm hoping this game sells more than the Wii U version did & encourages Nintendo to put more DLC stages in this game, especially ones that are based off the Kingdoms in Super Mario Odyssey, because 4 kingdoms is just not enough.
Sales were revealed in Japan and it's the second most selling game for this month right under Octopath. The original sold about 1mil+ so I expect this one to do even better with the bigger player base. Hoping it gets a sequel down the line.
I know people are hating on Wii U ports but if there's one more port I would love to see it would be Xenoblade X. Seeing as how huge the game is it would be great to take on the go to ease the daunting nature of the game by being able to play whenever and wherever. Like I said I know people are acting like Wii U ports are the plague but I would still love it none the less. Make it happen Monolith Soft.
Executer 66, there is something that most people seems to forget when complaining about the loads of ports coming in. The Wii U was a financial failure and is the least sold console in nintendo history according to stats. Games that were on the Wii U didn't got alot of sales. Therefore, it would be wise to port games that people missed out on during the Wii U era so that they still have a chance to play the best games that was on a console they didn't brought.
I never got a Wii U, and for me, Xenoblade X is the only port I really want from it.... and maybe like Mario Maker.... and those HD Zelda remakes look kinda cool.... and I woulda liked some of the Mario RPGs and retro stuff on the system, but other than that, Xenoblade X is all I wanted.
I don't like the fact that there so many ports (not just wii u games) that are on the switch or coming to the switch. I mean a (one year old) new console should have more new games then ports of older games.
Yeah, I search for fan made videos on a daily basis to make sure I library every video made by the community. I’m pretty proud of what it’s turned into
Oh boy... The "Arlo" we know could just be a scout from another galaxy waiting to report back to his superiors and have them take over earth. Scary stuff if you think about it
It was probably the embargo for the game. Meaning it probably told him when he is allowed to post his review and when he can post gameplay such as gameplay of the new content and the final credits and cut scenes etc.
This game is so adorable. The animations for these toads are so expressive. They don't talk, but they say a lot. It's not a really difficult game, but I like the variety of levels and it's a nice relaxing game. I like exploring the levels and finding everything. It's a short game, but good all the way through - has really excellent pacing.
I love Toad as a character. He is one of my favorite Mario characters, so I was excited when this was announced on the Wii U. I had been wanting Toad to get his own game for years, and I'm happy that Nintendo found a unique gameplay style for the character. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was a nice distraction and I will say that it was a unique experience. You know what would be really cool, though? A Super Mario Galaxy spinoff starring Captain Toad and his crew. They were all such cute characters in the Galaxy games, and I always wanted to see the shenanigans they were up to while Mario was out doing the real work. It would be a cute cartoon series, too. As you can tell, I love Toad. 😁
Just found your channel within the past 2 weeks and you are quickly becoming one of my favorite reviewers. I'm having a blast going through your old videos. Thanks for brightening up to my last few days and keep up the good work.
Man, I thought Scooby Doo was formulaic... I'm not sure if "characters get kidnapped every X levels" is better or worse than "'Your princess is in another castle!' every X levels," but it's definitely more obvious.
Interesting, you're the first person I've heard like the cursor in the switch version and the first to complain about the touch screen stuff in portable mode.
Fantastic video Arlo! Like always, you present great editing, good researching, and your unique personality. I’m proud of you and of all your hard work and you deserve at least 8,000,000,000 subscribers
Let me start off by saying that I love this channel. The thoughtful insights presented in each video are second to none. But.... I would really love to see more of the character of Arlo. Arlo’s screentime is usually limited to small chunks at the beginning and end of each video. The videos mainly consist of his voice. I’d love to learn more about this character and see him interact in different environments.
im legit crying the captain toad plushies and the backpack with the snacks is so cute its like "here, go on an adventure!! with ur companion captain toad and dont forget to eat bc adventuring is tough" idk its just so so cute to me my heart is melting
Between this bird, the lost kingdom one and the luncheon kingdom one I think captain toad is justified in saying don’t trust birds. Not to mention the Mario 64 birds but there’s a friendly owl so it evens out.
This review is missing from the "Game Reviews" playlist! Which is great because that means I wasn't finished listening to all your reviews, but now I have to hunt for more possible missing reviews from the playlist. Also, I love you channel Arlo! Keep up the good work :D
Everyone is saying $40 is a rip off. How? It’s a full very polished game. Yes it is a Wii U port but other Wii U ports were $60. Any lower then $30 than *WE* would be scamming Nintendo
Reused assets from 3D world, reused concept from 3D world, reused music from 3D world, no storywriting at all, lazy cutscenes and really short. It's a fun game but it barely cost anything to develope. Even if this wasn't a port Nintendo would still make a lot of profit with $30, and it is a port so anything higher than $30 is pretty unreasonable if you ask me.
And yeah other Wii U ports were $60, but Captain Toad isn't even comparable to games like Hyrule Warriors, DK country or Bayonetta for example, and even those are overpriced according to most people.
JustDean who the hell cares how much profit they make? Consumers should buy products that they deem worthy, not that they can get away with making a company’s job harder.
Surprised you didn't love the game, but your criticisms on touch screen controls are valid! I've been playing solely in handheld mode and hadn't found it a problem, UNTIL I was aware of how it played on the tv. Amazing video as always!
To all the parents out there, the two-player mode is a great way to introduce young children to platforming. My daughter is six, and is still getting the hang of using a controller. She gets to walk around and solve puzzles, and I can help out and make sure there are no baddies in her way. And Arlo, if you're still looking for a young child to give that other Toad plushie to, my daughter loves Captain Toad. Hint hint nudge nudge. You're my favorite blue monster. :)
Oh this game is so much fun! It truly feels like a little action puzzle game, it's really adorable. And the side missions can get really challenging, with a lot of creative and diverse missions. I can't recommend this enough. Especially if you manage to find it for about 30 bucks. Don't hesitate!
Another problem with the story is that it was supposed to be the prequel to 3D world but they just retconned it so it’s now a prequel to Odyssey. Did 3D world just not happen or something? A nitpick, I know
Not sure if anybody has said it yet, but in 2p mode, the 1st player can actually control the camera as well. You just hold the down button and move the stick for complete control or use the shoulder buttons to rotate horizontally. So yeah, the second player is even less useful after that, and there is even less cooperation required lol. Love this review though! I agreed with all of your points, although I am thoroughly enjoying the completionist aspects of the game. And some of those time challenges are tough!
Man I just got Captain Toad for $4.48! I'm excited to play with my fiancé, really didn't want to buy it when it was $40 and I was happy to see this once in a life time deal come up so I could grab it haha
I mean, if it was 2014 when I expected more from Mario and when Captain Toad did the generic Mario thing I’d agree with it. If 3D World came out today when the generic Mario problem wasn’t an issue, I’d argue slightly. 3D World and Captain Toad are completely different games.
I never want to hear another BotW review is coming from this channel again. Obviously it's not going to happen. Its been a year and a half and we moved on to other things.
Why do people keep complaining about the price of some Switch games (mainly ports) when you can usually find good deals to lessen their price, OR just wait until a price drop? And if it’s too much, then just don’t buy it. Things aren’t cheap these days.
With that thought it seems like Nintendo has perfectly made you into a Nintendrone. Wouldn’t you want games, especially year old ports, to be cheaper then new releases? I know I do. Why are Doom and Wolf 2 60 bucks when one of them is over 2 years old and the other is about to be a year old?
Kirby the Artist my comment wasn’t directed at you sorry lol but for the main comment.. Nintendrones like him/her seem to believe like wanting games (ports) to be cheaper are a bad thing
This was one of my favorite titles on the Wii U, but then I was unable to play it anymore because my Wii U gamepad stopped working and I couldn’t afford both a Switch and for my gamepad to be fixed, so I had to choose which to get, and so I just got the Switch instead. But I really missed playing this game, and so I’m so so glad it’s on the Switch now. This was definitely one port that I am happy Nintendo did for Switch! 😄😄😄
I saw this at Best Buy, and I said to my sister, "look who has his own game!" My dad offered to buy it for me for Christmas (we were there picking up Super Mario Party and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Christmas). I declined, because I hadn't seen a review or a playthrough yet. Still on the fence on this one, though, but I love Toad and Toadette, and I'm glad to see they have their own game (ok, so technically, Captain Toad isn't the same as the Toad I know and love, but it still counts). PS: I love your puns. I'm a sucker for a good "bad" pun.
I also missed out on Captain Toad, but rather than getting the Switch port, I picked up a second hand copy of the Wii U version at a flea market over the weekend.
This isn't a reused concept from 3D world, one of the designers wanted to make this game but Miyamoto (I think? One of the higher-ups) wasn't convinced that it would make a good game and that people would like it so they let him put a few levels in 3D world as a proof of concept. Or so I've heard.
1:00 Actually, they had the idea for the full game first; the Captain Toad levels in 3D World were there to see if there was an audience for a Captain Toad game.
I 100%-ed this game last weekend and finding all of the gems and completing the challenges really filled out the content for me. I loved this game, but I'm not sure I would have liked it as much if I hadn't taken that extra step to challenge myself, as I feel is true for many Nintendo games. If you only go for the star and an occasional gem you miss out on a lot of the game.
I'm serious when I say that I have no idea how you don't have at least double your sub count by now. I was legitimately surprised when i looked below the video and saw you only had 266k subs.
"For all my fun Toady adventures!" - Arlo, 7/19/2018 But seriously, now Arlo has to record himself with the backpack going on an adventure in the woods. Do it, Arlo! (Please.)
Another review... been on a streak recently, my friend. (Always good to see a new video though) Missin the old Arlo analysis videos though... much to discuss in recent memory!
Great review. I largely agree except for the mention of low content. Having just finished the game I feel like there was ample amount. It felt complete to me--though yes, a better narrative would've definitely heightened the "complete" feeling.
I'm absolutely the kind of person who would normally be annoyed with something like a cursor in the middle of the screen all the time, but if that's pushing you away from the game just know that it was never a problem for me. When you're playing you don't really notice that it's there unless you're using it, and it's probably a lot more obvious when you're just watching footage of the game. Just something to think about.

Now I can't stop looking at the cursor. Dang it Arlo!
well, I've played Super Mario galaxy in 2p mode so I've gotten used to it
Out of curiosity, there was an extra rolled up paper with the first Captain Toad plush. What was that?
Arlo would you want a Diddy Kong Racing sequel that added characters from My Hero Academia, Little Witch Academia, Kirby, The Amazing World of Gumball, Bomberman, RWBY, Pop Team Epic, Persona 5 and FLCL? Kirby in particular gets pushed heavily as the protagonist

Axel Gray Why would I make it up? What reason would I have to do that? That actually happened, don't see how it's so hard to believe.
NintenSnow Plays! attention

Michael Swirsky Thank you, you're cool haha.
Nintendo watched your review of Paper Mario where you complained about Toads... they are not giving you gifts, they are actually trolling you.
Yakov 😂😂
Makes a lot of sense xD "Just give him Toad related stuff"
Trolling? Or Toading?
Lol
@@lpsoldin3162 both
We all know that in recent years, Toad has been seen as annoying and a nuisance. But you have to admit. He is one of the most darn cute characters to bless our souls.
He's only annoying if hundreds of copies of him are being used as NPCs in the Mario RPGs.
Nope. He is not cute, at least to me.
uh no he's fat and fucking ugly
Except that he is a freaking *god* in Mario Kart
*yoshi*

Meta Shade I agree DLC would be awesome :)
They should add back in the 4 levels they removed from the wii u version.
Based on sales of the consoles it’s pretty likely it will even if the game isn’t that good
Damn Arlo right off the bat you TOADally used my best toad pun...you didn't leave me *MUSHROOM* to over pun you!
go live in a cave

Am I the only one that thinks that the Toad Brigade would make a great tv show?
The Gaming Lion I actually kind of miss those guys from Galaxy.
Hey, they are in Odyssey! The purple one is back too! I have no idea why, but I was sad when the purple one wasn't in Treasure Tracker.
For some reason I always loved them in galaxy and wished they were playable
I want a show about bowsers minions.
That... would make an interesting tv show. I would like to see a first episode about that.
And puns are vitamins for Arlos
I din't know there was an Arlo fan community. Oh wait, just not the TH-cam channel. But really though, gotta love the dedication. Arlo is real cool.
Yeah, I search for fan made videos on a daily basis to make sure I library every video made by the community. I’m pretty proud of what it’s turned into
"Arlos" Are they a species now or something?
Who know? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh boy... The "Arlo" we know could just be a scout from another galaxy waiting to report back to his superiors and have them take over earth. Scary stuff if you think about it
We need more Arlo unboxing Toads and voicing/playing with them
Nah
Probably gonna pick it up myself. The demo was really fun.
That first Toad very clearly had a special note on his bag and it pains me that I will never know what it read
I want to know too :(
It was probably the embargo for the game. Meaning it probably told him when he is allowed to post his review and when he can post gameplay such as gameplay of the new content and the final credits and cut scenes etc.
Adam Ashbaker yeah, it probably is. You just never know though
I literally laughed out loud when Captain Toad was telling the audience not to trust birds in a very raspy voice.
"Not after last time... Not after last time..."

I love Captain Toad. I can't get enough. I hope they make more Captain Toad games with lots of DLC!
How does an Arlo wear a backpack without shoulders?
Those Captain Toad plushies are too adorable.
Interesting, you're the first person I've heard like the cursor in the switch version and the first to complain about the touch screen stuff in portable mode.
RockYeahh different strokes for different folks
Fantastic video Arlo! Like always, you present great editing, good researching, and your unique personality. I’m proud of you and of all your hard work and you deserve at least 8,000,000,000 subscribers
Nintendo is trying to distract Arlo from his opinion that the game doesn't have enough content with Food
Great editing job on this video, I love how you cut together the camping scenes.
What's that paper that was rolled up behind the first toad plushie?
It could be a map Nintendo expected Arlo to take and make a skit about it
Just came across your channel and after watching one review I'm instantly part of the notification squad! Love it!
Arlo's speaking voice sounds remarkably like a grown up Toad.
Let me start off by saying that I love this channel. The thoughtful insights presented in each video are second to none. But.... I would really love to see more of the character of Arlo. Arlo’s screentime is usually limited to small chunks at the beginning and end of each video. The videos mainly consist of his voice.

Hearing you say "pun intended" about the turnips was oddly gratifying
Can you review Octopath Traveler next?
that's probably whats gonna happen
He better! Its about time he reviewed a fantastic RPG
Gotta get him into Xenoblade as well.
I second this. I've been waiting for it.
No. Nobody has time to play a 90hr game and then review. He still needs to get BoTW done
11:34 I was playing Splatoon 2 while watching the video and I got matched up with a guy called Totti the moment you said that.
im legit crying the captain toad plushies and the backpack with the snacks is so cute its like "here, go on an adventure!! with ur companion captain toad and dont forget to eat bc adventuring is tough"
idk its just so so cute to me my heart is melting

Putting the snacks in the bag was so extra...I hope whoever thought to do that got to see the video and how happy it made you!
But did the snacks include... BUTTERNUT SQUASH?
I was half expecting a bird to appear at the end of the video that would abduct the other toad plushie. ;)
Arlo has best puns
You know, this video is a double edge sword, the puns either make you gain a little bit of happiness or make you lose a little bit of your sanity.

Omg that Captain Toad plush is adorable.

in other words if you baught the wii u verson it is not worth buying it again

Yes, but what idiot owns a Wii U.

At least I waited to buy LOZBOTW for switch instead of Wii U.
oh my god that Toad plushie is freaking adorable! also the Replica backpack is so cool, i don't even wear backpacks & i would love to have one

Love this review though! I agreed with all of your points, although I am thoroughly enjoying the completionist aspects of the game. And some of those time challenges are tough!
$40 is kinda a lot for this game, I think $20 or $30 would’ve been better.

Classic Sonic So what? I should of been $40-$20 on the WiiU too.
You know eshop price aren't "real price" (in my country it is 40 euros on eshop but I can find it for 30 in lots of store)
No it wasn't. The Wii U version was $40 as well...
I love waluigi. Sad he is not in smash. But whatever it will still be fun
Man I just got Captain Toad for $4.48! I'm excited to play with my fiancé, really didn't want to buy it when it was $40 and I was happy to see this once in a life time deal come up so I could grab it haha
Nice
Controversial opinion: Captain Toad is better than Super Mario 3D World
How so?
I mean if you're a person who loves puzzle games more than 3D platformers, sure! I guess.
NumberOne#1 Neither of those games are the same genre. It’s like comparing madden 08 to Splatoon 2.
Kai Mikoshi As someone who loves 3D platformers and hates puzzle games, I love Captain Toad and hate 3D World.
I mean, if it was 2014 when I expected more from Mario and when Captain Toad did the generic Mario thing I’d agree with it. If 3D World came out today when the generic Mario problem wasn’t an issue, I’d argue slightly. 3D World and Captain Toad are completely different games.
Arlo has now convinced me that he is a real living puppet after he started grabbing things
I never want to hear another BotW review is coming from this channel again. Obviously it's not going to happen. Its been a year and a half and we moved on to other things.
Yep it totally didn't happen ... ( does a 7 part review series of botw which is 2 to 3 hours long )
Two seconds after Plush Toad's warning:
* A seagull grabs it and flies away.
Why do people keep complaining about the price of some Switch games (mainly ports) when you can usually find good deals to lessen their price, OR just wait until a price drop? And if it’s too much, then just don’t buy it. Things aren’t cheap these days.
Yoshi Miner Kirby Star allies is prime example of this price issue.
With that thought it seems like Nintendo has perfectly made you into a Nintendrone. Wouldn’t you want games, especially year old ports, to be cheaper then new releases? I know I do. Why are Doom and Wolf 2 60 bucks when one of them is over 2 years old and the other is about to be a year old?
Panda'sBass. Hey, hey, hey am no Nintendrone, I honestly want ports to be cheaper.
Kirby the Artist my comment wasn’t directed at you sorry lol but for the main comment.. Nintendrones like him/her seem to believe like wanting games (ports) to be cheaper are a bad thing
Panda'sBass Oh okay, thank you for clearing that up.
Keep up those puns, Arlo!
Also, they really should've given you a Toadette plushie instead of just two toads.
WIIU ?????????
I now have all versions of the game
im happey
This was one of my favorite titles on the Wii U, but then I was unable to play it anymore because my Wii U gamepad stopped working and I couldn’t afford both a Switch and for my gamepad to be fixed, so I had to choose which to get, and so I just got the Switch instead. But I really missed playing this game, and so I’m so so glad it’s on the Switch now. This was definitely one port that I am happy Nintendo did for Switch! 😄😄😄
40$ is a straight rip off
yeah, and it was a rip off there too
That's actually a pretty good Toad impression. :O
I might buy Captain Toad just because Nintendo gave a cute gift for Arlo
Okay but now I want to see Arlo cosplaying as Captain Toad with the backpack. :-P
I saw this at Best Buy, and I said to my sister, "look who has his own game!" My dad offered to buy it for me for Christmas (we were there picking up Super Mario Party and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Christmas). I declined, because I hadn't seen a review or a playthrough yet. Still on the fence on this one, though, but I love Toad and Toadette, and I'm glad to see they have their own game (ok, so technically, Captain Toad isn't the same as the Toad I know and love, but it still counts).
PS: I love your puns. I'm a sucker for a good "bad" pun.
I also missed out on Captain Toad, but rather than getting the Switch port, I picked up a second hand copy of the Wii U version at a flea market over the weekend.
"This makes ports like Super Mario Galaxy way more doable"
*X-Files theme intensifies*
I enjoyed this game on 3DS. It has beautiful graphics and music and very fun gameplay.
Nintendo giving you snacks for your adventures is so adorable oml
That ending reminds me of the Zelda Theatre. (Make more of those, those are hilarious)
Yes.
This isn't a reused concept from 3D world, one of the designers wanted to make this game but Miyamoto (I think? One of the higher-ups) wasn't convinced that it would make a good game and that people would like it so they let him put a few levels in 3D world as a proof of concept.
Or so I've heard.
1:00 Actually, they had the idea for the full game first; the Captain Toad levels in 3D World were there to see if there was an audience for a Captain Toad game.
Captain Toad and Toadette get kidnapped by that bird more than Callie puts on the Hypno Shades!
I recently bought this from the thanksgiving eshop sale. Love it so far.
“Trust no birds!”
Oh I agree. Dem pesky birds... 🐦
I 100%-ed this game last weekend and finding all of the gems and completing the challenges really filled out the content for me. I loved this game, but I'm not sure I would have liked it as much if I hadn't taken that extra step to challenge myself, as I feel is true for many Nintendo games. If you only go for the star and an occasional gem you miss out on a lot of the game.
I'm serious when I say that I have no idea how you don't have at least double your sub count by now. I was legitimately surprised when i looked below the video and saw you only had 266k subs.
"For all my fun Toady adventures!"

But seriously, now Arlo has to record himself with the backpack going on an adventure in the woods. Do it, Arlo! (Please.)
I had this game on the Wii U, but I always thought it was really only fun to play in short bursts, a few levels at a time.
Thank God for the Switch.
Another review... been on a streak recently, my friend. (Always good to see a new video though) Missin the old Arlo analysis videos though... much to discuss in recent memory!
Great review. I largely agree except for the mention of low content. Having just finished the game I feel like there was ample amount. It felt complete to me--though yes, a better narrative would've definitely heightened the "complete" feeling.
This review gives me hope for a Wonderful 101 port on the Switch. A true hidden gem of the Wii U.
Arlo! I love your content , keep it up! Great Video 👍
There's 3 gems, an optional objective, a Pixel Toad, but also a speed run objective, with a star to mark completed levels, if I recall correctly.
