0:49 “I highly suggest watching all of the cutscenes”
Somewhere on the other side of the world Sakurai feels a disturbance.
First comment
The reason why sakurai never gave smash 4 a story mode was because the cutscenes were rewards and he didn’t like the fact that you could just look it up on TH-cam with out have to work for it
@@isfren5482 to me that's still a petty reason, guess he never noticed pretty much all games have a similar "issue"
Isai Frenette Unfortunately, that’s just how the world works nowadays.
@@isfren5482 yeah,so he made kirby rye only survivor.
Subspace Emissary:
The inspiration for what was, until earlier this year, the longest fanfic ever written (4million+ words).
what the hell overtook it
@@ilexdiapason I would also like to know lol
From what I heard it wasn’t the longest fanfiction. It was the longest piece of literature ever created.
@@ilexdiapason A Loud House fanfic
Could I have a link to that fanfic?
Preach good sir!!!!
2 years later. Hello
Oh hi
*PAPA SAKURAI LOVES ME MOST*
Dangit I was gonna comment that
Lucas M your name says lucas but it shows pirahna plant
Who said that
That’s the truest statement ever said
I should really scroll further down before I post my comments lmao
NINTENDO
CINEMATIC
UNIVERSE
Billiondollar idea
Or, NCU for short. *:3*
And hey, if Detective Pikachu proves to be as popular as the trailer has been so far, maybe they'll be able to start making other live-action versions of their IPs. If all the movies are popular enough, then have it following a similar formula to the MCU and have a big crossover event... a live action movie of Smash Bros...
Illumination making a Mario film? Make subspace HD
What if detective pikachu is the first of the NCU 🧐 (like Ironman for the avengers and the MCU)
Pretty sure the ending was not meant to 'wrap up' anything.
Since you have good guys and bad guys and all sorts of different characters from different universes, I don't even know how you could. This isn't a cartoon from the 80s after all.
It was more like a message, that they can finally breathe after pretty much the master of destruction met his end. It was a fitting end because that's the only goal any character could have: To have new beginnings.
My issue is that the ending didn’t even explain half of what was going on in the story and why it happened. It really did feel rushed.
@Christoffer113 You ever watch Fargo or Gone With The Wind? They had endings with no real 'conclusions'? I guess they're extremely lazy and not thought out in any way.
Especially since it’s possible to finish the game with only Kirby, Luigi, Ness, Bowser, King Dedede and Sonic. They’d have to either automatically give you every character or make multiple cutscenes for each possible scenario
It all would have been fine, if we'd gotten to see just a little bit more character interaction as an epilogue.
Various groups patting each other on the back for a job well done, certain people heading their seperate ways...
But they genuinely were running out of time and money by the end of things, which is why Sonic's introduction (and gameplay) are so rushed.
The ending is the opening to world of light
*Subspace Emissary* the standalone game - out in 2020!
Could also be a huge 30 bucks DLC for SMB Ultimate.
...a kid can dream at least...
Markus Kramer - Oh man, I can only hope and then hopefully Nintendo follows up with a COMPLETE/Nintendo Select version of Super Smash Bros.: Ultimate physical copy with ALL the Updates/Patches/DLC.
I would literally pay upwards of a hundred dollars if they made a dlc for ultimate
Bro
Fuck
WHY HAVEN'T THEY DONE THAT!?!?
ARE THEY ALLERGIC TO MONEY???
10:39 "Kept you waiting, huh?" It's a famous quote from the Metal Gear Solid franchise.
It's also a cheeky joke at the fact that they saved Snake's debut for so long into the campaign.
Oh wow, this is bran new information
How did this get 150 upvotes.
Conspiracy.
Really happy to see a positive look at the Subspace Emissary
Most videos I see online hate it for some reason, but honestly I played Subspace way more than I played any other mode in any other Smash game
I literally played it so much that my disc doesn’t work anymore
RIP my copy of Brawl, it’s tripping all over disc heaven now
I liked it. Most of the reasons people bring up for not liking it are entirely valid, I'd even agree with most of them but none of them bothered me that much when playing through it and even looking back on it. I don't know how much of that was Brawl coming out at the perfect time for me, I'd just left college so at that point nearly all of my gaming was single player and 'hey this primarily multiplayer game you like's next installment has more single player content than ever before' - the adventure mode which the first couple of times through were cool but quickly became repetitive replaced by an overarching 10 hour story campaign... But I like Subspace.
I had literally the exact same experience. I had to buy a new copy of brawl because after playing my first copy so much, it melted.
Brawl is perfect, so was Subsapce!
Its a new generation now. Edgy kids have grown up after brawls time and think its cool to hate
@@maverickay5807 Uh... It's actually completely the opposite.
It's the kids who grew up on Melee and 64 that hate Brawl, because the general gameplay was so different and lackluster compared to what they were used to. But the new generation at the time didn't have any of those preconceptions, and fell in love with it. The newer kids that would have grown up on Smash 4 probably don't even realise that Brawl exists, much in the same way that most of the kids that grew up on Brawl had no idea about Melee. And even though Brawl is such a massive portion of my childhood, my biggest source of nostalgia, and one of my favourite games of all time... it's not perfect. Not by a long shot. It has all the bells and whistles you could ever want in your entire life, but that all gets a little soured by how hard Sakurai dropped the ball on the fundamental gameplay because he was so desperate not to make a Melee 2. Subspace has some rushed bits and lackluster level design, even if the rest of it is probably the best thing to happen... ever. So I can see why it's not for everyone. Still... Funny how times change.
I played through Subspace once and hated nearly everything about it. I think the only things that I did enjoy were the ridley boss fights.
The actual meat of it, the levels, were completely uninspired. meandering dreck with generic hazards and visuals. For a crossover game like this I have no idea why subspace opted not to primarily focus on environments and enemies from nintendo games. Would it have been too much work? If so they shouldn't have even bothered with an adventure mode of this scale to begin with.
It's hard for me to look at SSE and not see a total waste of time and resources.
Nintendo Cinematic Universe.
YES!!! A SMASH BROS CINEMATIC UNIVERSE! DO IT!! We have Pokemon and Sonic both done pretty good, next is Mario's turn.
If Smash 4 actually had Subspace 2 I might have actually bought a Wii U
I know what you mean. Smash 4 kinda felt 'little' without a story mode. The missions were not bad, but nothing that could beat the Subspace emissary!
Hey that rhymes!
@@mr.glurak9492 Subspace is bullshit. Why? It just brings more toxic people yelling at Sakurai for not bringing subspace into ultimate poor sakurai
@@TH-camr-xi6qo The Subspace was everything a Nintendo fan could ask for, and still has tons of great memories for me. I couldn't wish for me a better crossover story.
@@mr.glurak9492 Sakurai said the Subspace was complete hell and he never wanted to do another one. So they just made a Way Simpler one in Ultimate for Sakurai (and his team) health. I hope you care about Sakurai’s health
"Anything goes"
Rayquaza
Haha I get it
@touma it's a joke about how mega rayquaza have his own tier level called "anything goes"
@touma so this special form of Rayquaza called Mega Rayquaza utterly broke the competitive scene at every level- it was so good that the Pokemon online battling community (called Smogon- it's unofficial but it's a huge presence in competitive Pokemon) banned it from the BANLIST TIER. They had to make a new tier called "Anything Goes" specifically for it.
given the context of the comment, im sure it was just a coincidence
@@DukeApples im pretty sure it was too, but it was still funny for those who noticed it
Actually Mega-Rayquaza is in the mega-ubers tier, which is the banned from the uber tier but Mega-Rayquaza is the only one there so when people want to use it, they have to go to the Anything Goes mode in Pokémon Showdown which eliminates some stuff like being unable to freeze and sleep more than one Pokémon, not being able to use moves that lower accuracity or raises evasion, etc.
When I first saw Wario turn Ness into a trophy, and Lucas had to run away in the rain, abandoning his beloved friend while Wario cackles in victory, I cried. Not a single tear down my face. I BAWLED.
Normally I'm a big Wario fan, but even I thought "that S.O.B. must pay" when I saw that.
Lucas and Ness actually don't even know each other at all
@@ginorincon9183
In the smash universe, it appears that they do. It doesnt really matter what happens in the Mother series, since this is a seperate cannon
Same
Dont you mean brawled.
....Did you say 10 years since Brawl came out? God, I feel old.
SAME
...when you’re having fun
*old snake gif*
Reading this comment made me feel even older...
@@greysquirtle5144 bro for real it’s now two years later since this comment 😂
I enjoyed the ending of subspace but I understand your perspective.
I was satisfied with them all standing on the cliff looking out to the sunset, which I think is where the Smash Ultimate World of Light Trailer takes place.
Where did sonic come from in subspace? I think they could have walked up afterwards.
ghostoftime1 Zelda can change form to sheik, why not a different Zelda? Idk that’s a good point, maybe a few days later or something
@@adamjones6473 sheik is zelda (-_-)
Darius Cross I’m aware
@@dariuscross2946
He already said that
That Arlo kid moment will go down in history as the greatest joke EVER
Eh I wouldn't go that far
The thing is, Arlo...
Look closer.
That cliffside overlooking waters at sunset.
World of Light starts right there.
*Subspace Emissary hasn't ended just yet.*
I hope you are right.
Remember when Nintendo said, that Smash 4 is going to have a story mode, but they scrapped it because people posted and spoiled cutscenes in the Internet?
Cool idea, but it doesn’t explain where the Ultimate newcomers came from after Brawl’s ending. :/
@@Triff3599 Well, the Story Mode from Ultimate isn't Subspace Emissary.
guess what it did actually
because the idea of this being the next one is an insult
Subspace Emissary was amazing. I was 20 year old when i played it, but 10 year old me was at the helm the whole way through. Just being blown away time and time again going "wooah this character and this character just did that", or "this new remix is incredible", and "he was behind it the whole time". I still get giddy just thinking about it.
_"Weirdo robot with a kid inside"_
That's Porky, my guy. At the end of Mother 3, after he ran away in Mother 2, we find - and then fight - Porky, who is still in the "Weirdo Robot" that he ran away in at the end of the last game; but it's a _really_ long time later. Porky is old now, and has basically been paralyzed. He uses his robot to fight, and to keep him alive. ...And now you know all that mostly useless information. You're welcome!
TruPotato also his only implementation in ultimate is his empty absolutely safe capsule, so he just might be coming back . . .
Hasn't overuse of time travel made him effectively immortal, not his robot? Or am I misremembering?
@@13nrandom Nah, you're right
The reason why sonic had no build up was because he was put into the game really late. Hence the reason why brawl was delayed for a little and why most of Sonic's moves are spin dashes. Also, it's not Nintendo you should be thanking, it's daddy sakurai. Btw, if you want to see a even more epic story, play kid icarus uprising. Trust, daddy sakurai directed it too.
Technically, it was nintendo since they forced sakurai to make it
@@putridmoldyman306 correction, they didn't force him to do it. When Nintendo announced a smash title for the wii, Sakurai was surprised without them letting him know. Nintendo asked if he wanted to direct the new title, if he said no, it was just going to be a melee port with new features and stuff. So Nintendo never really forced him, they just asked.
@@isthatajojoreference That does sound like he was forced though.
So,I should thank shakuria for the laziest representation of any character in smash?I understand brawl but his changes from brawl to ultimate at just giving him star fox moves that "at laggier but cover more distance"
@@ahmadkazan7994 He's doing his best
At this point, I’d just want Subspace Emissary remade into an hour long film on the eShop or something. That’d be neat. Won’t happen though, lol
...or you could just watch it on TH-cam.
@@amber_toiletbowlfingers Watching in the youtube is what made Sakurai quitting on make a successor to Subspace -.-
Watch it on youtube. The platforming in Subspace was soooo bad, it's a slog to get through.
@@Linkzx007 Literally EVERY game has a movie supercut on TH-cam, Sakurai just wanted an excuse for not doing a story mode on Wii U
If people just want to watch the cutscenes shouldn't they be able to? If Nintendo did release it on the eShop/DVD/Netflix, I'd say go right ahead and buy it. But they haven't.
And if watching the cutscenes for Subspace was enough for people to not want to go out and buy Brawl... I don't really know what to say. The vast majority of people who would think those cutscenes were cool are hardcore Nintendo fans who bought Brawl on launch. If it was something like Final Hallway XIII on youtube hurting sales, I might believe you, but not Brawl.
I can't get over "Papa Sakurai loves me most!"
I disagree on the ending being lame; I think the reflective scene with every character on the cliffside, looking out onto the giant X as the vocal theme plays, was super emotional and impactful. It's a bittersweet lamentation. The ROBs are gone, and worse still, there's no more video game to play.
I also think The Great Maze is one of the absolute coolest twists in gaming history and can't go unmentioned; the climax happens and you (correctly) think you've only got one or two levels left, and then the game just suddenly goes "Everybody dies except Luigi. Go unlock all of them again. Oh, and by the way: you're playing a Metroidvania now. This last level is half the game." How often does a game just friggin' decide it's a different genre and double its length without warning?
And all in all- excellent retrospective~
"and double its length without warning"
I mean...Symphony of the Night...and that's kind of the weakest part of the game when you get over the initial excitement...Symphony is fan-friggin-tastic, but the second half proves exactly why the game only really worked right-side up.
Only one reply, WHAT!!
Friendly reminder to buy a lan adapter for your Switch for the best online experience for Ultimate! :D
KiddKoalaz :(
I bought one for Smash before Smash was announced, no joke. When that part aired I laughed as I just knew I’d need it 21 months or so down the line, lol.
I can't the router is too distant from my switch
why the generics doesn't work?

Someone: "Infinity War is the most ambitious crossover event in history"
Me: Subspace
To be fair, Infinity War was best written big crossover event movie to date.
@@realar Not for me that never gave a shit about Super Heroes. I still prefer Subspace
Not gonna lie, I’d be down for a Smash Bros anime
I just love how the characters were so expressive that they could convey everything without the need for dialogue. With everything from the facial expressions to the body language, words weren't necessary. I also love the subtle nods to the source material, like how Pikachu was able to do a ton of damage against Ridley because electric type moves are strong against the flying type.

When I saw that title, I thought you were talking about the Philips CDI.
the ytp experience is just right
I thought he was going to talk about Balloon Fight online!
i thought he was talking about ROBLOX Battle Royale
Honestly, I would kill a man for a proper Subspace Emmisary-type "cutscenes" based on that doofy YTP-based Smash Bros Lawl thing...
My favorite part was seeing the characters interact, how they kept so much personality in them despite having no lines. Makes me wish Ridley and K rool got in during brawl so we could see how they'd behave with characters like Sonic or Snake. Then again, I'm just happy they're in at all.
Arlo: "This mode is-"

Edit:(Thanks for all the likes guys!!)
7:08 God, I love you Rob. You were the best and most emotional character in subspace. And you were a robot. Give Rob an Oscar
Yo this was the first smash game I got (didn't even know what smash bros was) I got it for my 8th birthday and was super amazed to see all of my favorite characters in one game. It was surreal, It felt like a dream come true but in the literal sense, like it was something I could only think of in a dream. Such a crazy time in my life. I can only imagine a kid growing up on the switch who has no idea about smash bros is going to get this new one for Christmas an go nuts.
SSE was great for three things:
1. Unlocking characters
2. Cutscenes
3. Boss Fights
Everything in between was a chore.
I actually loved the level design and randomness (except SUBSPACE) and one of my favorite moments was the Halberd levels and ending them with the silly moment when G&W just appears out of Shadow Bugs and joins the team
For you maybe
"Papa sakurai loves me most" XD that had me dying
What makes it more valid is that Kirby is the only character that survived in the World of Light intro!
My body is ready? Yes please!
You've been eating lots of butternut squash, I see
Is that a question?
Subspace is what brought me to the world of gaming and introduced me to so many characters
I enjoyed just about everything about Subspace as well!
World of Light is alright, but only gets good to me at the latter third.
Honestly, Brawl is one of the most epic installations to the franchise!
After the meta knight vs lucario fight :
Meta knight : You kicked my butt...let's totally be friends.
There is this people that hated Subspace Emisary just because gameplay mechanics and thought it was terrible and no fun.
And then, there is us, people like Arlo or me, that are just dreamers and who really love this games individually. And watch them interact each other was just amazing. This crossover was huge for me. And even the platform gameplay made sense, like it was not only watching the cutscene, you then were able to drive the story and play through it. I really loved Subspace Emissary and it really touched me to hear someone that loved this as much as I did. My inner child will never let it go.
I completely agree ; I'd pay full price for a 'Subspace 2', lots of the comments section didn't seem to like the platforming but I found it fun especially given the context of all the characters coming together and now, with Mega Man, Villager, Inkling and Ridley as playable characters this would be a dream come true.
I have to point out, with regards to the Earthbound rep in Subspace. The Mother series was actually incredibly popular in Japan at the time Brawl was released, because just two years before Brawl's release the third and final entry in the series, Mother 3, had come out so it was pretty much expected that they'd dedicate a section for that game. It was far from obscure in Japan, basically.
Subspace is the best thing that exists in the smash history.
More Smash
Mooree Smash
Mooooooreee
Moooooooooooreee
Moooooooooooooooore Smash
MOAR
It saddens me he doesn't know Earthbound...
Something about you seems familiar.
Oh yeah yeah
1:18 just a friendly reminder star allies was the exception when it came to Kirby’s quality not the rule. I’d highly recommend picking up one of the Wii or 3DS games
Isnt there only one wii kirby game?
M.O Epic Yarn and Return to Dreamland. While some consider the former a spin off I don’t since it’s still a 2D platformer and lots of fun
Why are people pushing this "star allies is bad" train? It's quite similar to the wii/3ds games, and those were awesome!
@@pondscum9363 It's too easy and lacking in content compared to other kirby games
Epic Yarn is ok but kinda dull for some. Return to Dreamland might be my favourite, and Triple Deluxe is very good as well, and I've heard that Robobot is great as well but I didn't play that one. Star Allies is fine as well but not really worth the price.
Honestly, the music is crazy good in the game, and it helps this mode a lot. Bramble Blast and the Super Mario Land Underground Theme remixes are some examples
aw man I LOVED Subspace Emissary as a kid. I also loved Peach and when she breaks up a fight by offering tea out of nowhere? That was a formative experience for me lmao.
11:42 And Kirby comes in and is like “No, Papa Sakurai loves me da most!!” 🤣😂🤣😂
Every time I pick up Brawl again I have to play Subspace again. Always.
So, I'm not the only one who thought the Subspace original enemies and bosses were cool? Awesome!
I loved the cut scenes!!!
The part where Lucas feels guilty about Ness turning into a trophy and Pokemon trainer comforts him always gave me many a feel
DK and Mario do cross over in Mario vs Donkey Kong though.
mario odyssey has a whole world dedicated to donkey kong. He didn't really choose a good example lol
@@joakkar True that. let's not forget that they also crossed over in Donkey Kong '94 for Game Boy. As well as umm, Donkey Kong arcade from 1981 if you wanna count that iteration of DK.
That's debatable at BEST tho. Mario vs Donkey Kong is a series based on the classic Donkey Kong arcade game, to the point of focusing on Pauline as a character over any Mario or DK exclusives. You don't get to see Cranky Kong show up as an NPC in New Donk City, not even Diddy. You feel me?
@@JacksonJinn Yes but Mario and Donkey Kong do cross over in Mario vs DK. Same with Donkey Kong '94 for Game Boy. Even if other characters are missing, Mario and DK are still there and do cross over
To be fair, Mario vs. Donkey Kong has Toad, Peach, and Luigi in some form.
Wonderful video!
I never thought there was anything wrong with the ending to The Subspace Emissary. I took all of them standing together on the cliff looking outwards while Brawl's theme played as being a fine ending. Oh, and there's also the really awesome credits.
All in all, I love The Subspace Emissary.
The cut scenes were cool and all, but let's remind ourselves on how ridiculous Sub Space Emissary was on Intense difficulty. I remember repeatedly dying from that one freaking mini-armored-tank enemy with the spear, that could kill you in a single hit! And a bunch of them coming at you ALL AT ONCE! I could probably write a novel on how ridiculously op all the enemies were!
Mario and link meeting was one of the best part. Or when it was only Luigi, Ness and King Dedede saving everyone
Well, they are making a Mario movie. If it succeeds, then its not impossible for there to be more movies. A smash brothers movie is unlikely, but maybe they'll move into comics or manga where a smash story would be possible.
I'll be damned if I have to come back to this comment ten years from now and give you a congratulatory you told us so
The Wii era has a lot of amazing sequels to Nintendo series
Its a small detail, but I liked how the Petey Piranha fight gave you the option to choose to save either Peach OR Zelda, and it changed the story somewhat depending on who you chose.
As a fan of EarthBound? Everything to do with EarthBound in Sub-Space Emissary was beyond fantastic. The story for Lucas was just amazing. Perfect 10's across the board.
Great video! Though I thought you were too generous to the actual gameplay in the mode. But the cutscene are awesome and ridiculous. ☺️
This just wanted me to replay Subspace again
Hakaco. i just did it a few weeks ago XD
Subspace was and still is a beautiful story mode for the Super Smash Bros series. This mode will never be forgotten
I just discovered the channel and I have to say youre the best gaming channel on youtube Arlo! You capture the childlike sense of wonder and joy that Ive loved about video games ever since i was a young'un! Keep up the good work Mr. Arlo!

I loved Subspace Emmisary. I remember sometimes I'd turn on my Brawl and literally just watch every cut scene like a movie. I've watched that movie at least five times (not counting the times I actually played through it).
Could you imagine how insane a story with all of Ultimate's fighters would be? Or even just someone writes an entire fanfiction of it and maybe includes some characters that didn't make it into the game.
world of light is the sequel that takes place directly after subspace
Yeah I pretty much agree with you 100%. Subspace had its flaws, but damn if I don't love it. Plus I've always wanted a Nintendo crossover that wasn't Smash Bros.
Out of all the Arlo videos that I love, and there are a lot, this may be my absolute favorite 😊
World of light continues were subspace leaves off
If we get Tabuu as the final DLC character I would be MORE THAN OK WITH THAT. I don't care how random he was at the end of SSE, he's friggin' awesome and I wanna play as him.
RIP Arlo. He died. He dead.
"relatively obscure"
hes one of the main antagonists in earthbound and the main antagonist in mother 3
I knoe that a lot of people dislike brawl but it will always hold a special place in my heart the subspace emmisary was a grand adventure with so many characters and this giant cross over blew my mind away as a kid and the memories of struggling against tabuu until I finally just about managed to beat him.

*DID YOU JUST SAY KILL ON YOUR FAMILY FRIENDLY CHANNEL*
The Mlg Pyro More!
PsychokinRazalon More what
How's that inappropriate?
The Mlg Pyro thats right, the preferred term is “unalive”
Kids need to learn that everything dies. It's sad but true.
My Arlo Academia.
Nothing but *S M A S H !*
I don't know where I was going with that either.
15:30 is the best cut scene I have ever seen. Every playthrough that one scene gets me. The way Mr game and watch dances in the back! Magnifique!
Duuuuuude. What do you mean, nothing? You get the song with subtitles telling you what the SSBB theme means! That last image of everyone standing side by side on the cliff while the song is going on about how friends, allies, rivals and sworn enemies are all equal comrades in glory. I cried, man. I cried the manliest tears out there.
Getting about the same vibes from the world of light song, too.
That ending was funny XD
10:41 “kept you waiting, huh?”
I didn't own a Wii growing up and could only play Brawl at my friend's house. Once a week, I would get to go to his place and play the next chapter of Subspace Emissary. It was like watching an interactive TV show and I loved every single bit of it. Taboo was definitely a "What?" moment for me, but after I learned about his true meaning, the whole experience had another layer of meaning to me.
Subspace Emissary. In my childhood, it was a masterpiece and it shall forever hold a spot on my favourite gaming moments of all time list.
Absolutely yes.
Yay new arlo video
A lot of people thought The Great Maze was boring but I kinda liked it and was like Smash as a Metroidvania game. I would love to have a mode like that in a smash game where you go around a giant map finding treasure and unlocking characters in a Metroidvania style.
11:09 Objectively the most pure and truthful possible interpretation and explanation of anything in media history.
Arlo, Please Play the mother series. You won't regret it! Take your time ;D
Dax Masterix Yes! I second this! I’m sure he’ll love it.
When he said "weirdo robot with a kid inside" I was like "OH YOU HAVE NO IDEA"
I third this
@@jeremytewari3346 you should give me an idea =) I've never had an immediate urge to play mother because I heard its pretty grindy, so I stayed away because I couldn't find any justifications for the grind , but I bet you know something I don't about it. I've heard the story elements are sort of bizarre, but is it all that?
joey mancuso So here’s the thing. Most people prefer Earthbound/Mother 2 over the others, but I think Earthbound is harder to get into the longer you wait, as it’s gameplay does have some very dated elements, but I wouldn’t say grinding is one of them. Without grinding the game is pretty beatable, and I think that the argument about grinding comes from the fact that the start of the game is a huge difficulty spike from the start, so lots of people are inclined to grind. Earthbound’s quirkiness and its experience are what the game is about, but if you want a more heartfelt recommendation for the game I’d ask someone else, because I don’t think I can give one, mostly because I see Mother 3 as a vast improvement. It fixes all major gameplay problems and has a great story, in addition to the quirky humor and charm of Earthbound (one of the game’s 8 chapters is pretty much exactly like Earthbound in an homagey format because the game is super different.) I would definitely at least try to play Earthbound, at least up until you reach the location Fourside, and if that doesn’t do it for you then you can stop there and either watch a let’s play or pick up Mother 3, as you will probably be able to understand the story at that point with simple inferences. As for Mother 1/Earthbound Beginnings, while it did technically come first, I think it would be much better played after completing Earthbound, as it gives lots of context to the game but is in no way required to understand the basic plot, whereas Mother 3 makes much less sense without having at least seen the first part of the game. Mother 1 is also a much harder game to get into the series from because of its admittedly dated mechanics, but still definitely worth playing or watching a play through of (the latter might be better)
So you should play the games in this order. First play Earthbound, if you finish it, go back and play Mother 1, and then play Mother 3. If you only play the first part of Earthbound, skip straight to Mother 3, don’t even bother with Mother 1 as you probably won’t like it, and then if the game makes you feel so inclined go back and finish Earthbound and then maybe Mother 1. Well that’s my take.
Hey Arlo do you have plans to review Pokémon Let’s Go out of Curiosity?
God, words will not and can not express my love for the Subspace Emissary. I remember I got her from my aunt around Christmas 2009 and I played it for a straight year just doing bits and bobs whenever I had the time or if I wasn't playing another game, and then I finally got to the Great Maze. I had no internet except for nanas old desktop so I didn't Google how to do it, and I was confused for a good bit trying to find out what you're meant to do but oh my god the feeling of satisfaction when you actually realise what you're meant to do is so goddamn satisfying I cannot express it. I had so much fun just going through the different parts of the different missions and fighting all the cool ass bosses and just generally loving it in every conceivable way. I can probably go on for about 50 paragraphs about my love for the subspace emissary but I'll try and put an end in around here somewhere. I loved the story and the plot and the fights and the general everything. The subspace emissary was just so god damn amazing I hope to god they put something like it in ultimate and along with some other things like the missions and all that the subspace emissary is the reason brawl is the best smash game. If you read all of this you're an awesome person. Bye
As a Nintendo fan and a HUGE Metal Gear fan, it was absolutely beyond delightful and epic to see Solid Snake interacting with Meta Knight and the gang.
My life will not be complete until there is a Smash Bros game with the scope of a Xenoblade Chronicles game.
So long as it’s not waifu chronicles shulk beats rex any day
Well you're gonna live a very incomplete life then
@@TheWeedIsland unfortunately.....T_T
lmao your life is never being completed
subspace emissary definitely had a ton of impact and felt like "the coolest thing ever" at the time. Buuuut I'm not sure I agree about it actually being good. the platforming was barely functional, but enough to carry the concept... but the actual fighting, in a fighting game, was the problem. the way enemies essentially had no knockback, while the characters are designed around the knockback their moves cause, made any sort of combat extremely unfair and unsatisfying, and some levels completely ignored this and went WAY too hard with enemy density. even in my first playthrough, fully blinded by "this is the coolest shit ever" googles as a teenager, I could clearly notice this, but it was just conceptually awesome enough to power through it.
never ever would replay it.
I am proud to say that Subspace Emissary was a huge section of my childhood.
Arlo the best video you have made I have been waiting for someone too make a subspace video and no one has thank you arlo
It was falsely advertised that Sonic and Mario would team up in Subspace Emissary in his reveal trailer and I'm still admittedly salty about it. I'm not holding my breath for World of Light though.
Sonic is in brawl you can have them team up if you want
@@frostyblade8842 Yeah. But it's not the same as having them team up in a story setting with cutscenes where you actually see them interact with each other.
To be fair, I think the fact he was approved late into the development of the game might have had something to do with that.
@@numebernode I still wish they didn't tease us with a possible team up in Sonic's reveal trailer.
@@BigHailFan they totally teased it, Mario and Sonic are both running around in one of the jungle SSE levels in Sonic's reveal trailer.
I know this video is about Subspace, but I think people need to wait to actually play World of Light before passing judgement on it. Im sure WoL will have more than just one awesome story based crossover cutscene. The key is that the gameplay focus is different. Subspace was basically a platformer while World of Light is using the spirits to create RPG elements to give your fighters new abilities. That seems like a great direction to take the series to me. Now that it’s been done once, the novelty is gone and they can’t just have us jumping and running around cookie cutter worlds with smash mechanics again. I don’t know if WoL will be “better” but it will definitely add something new.
Nope. That one "awesome" cutscene was just it. There isn't any other besides particle effects going on in sky/space.
No, there is no interacting within the cutscenes
@@nuibaba280 Yhere are more cutscenes, no clue what they are like though
I saw the leaked cutscenes, there are no character interactions.
Guess what, WOL absolutely did NOT have anymore cutscenes. And RPG elements in a fighting game sounds like an awful idea. That turns the game into a pencil pushing mediocre strategy game that you can cheese or get horrifically frustrated at. And spirits don't give you new abilities, they give you stats. That's it. It's a terrible direction to take a fighting game. It takes away skill and wit and makes it "boom, got the thing, now you win or die."
Hey Arlo. I just have the urge to let you know that I think you are one of the best creators out there. I know it sounds cheesy but there is no video of yours I don’t enjoy to watch. Your commants are both smart and funny. The vids often bring back so many memories, just like this one right here.
I guess I just like the concept of the wise hand puppet.
Great I can watch you on Switch now.
Keep on doing what you do!
Greetz from a German Fan. 🤘
The "kid in Arlo" explaining that scene was the best thing. Period!
