I am all about the Metroid hype. I literally bought my Switch the day after the original Prime 4 announcement in eager anticipation, and was equally disappointed when it was subsequently delayed. Been getting good use out of my Switch with Hyrule Warriors and Breath of the Wild in the mean time at least. Seriously though, this wasn't even the first time Metroid was the reason I bought a new consol. I did the same thing with the Wii and Other M... yeah, that didn't turn out so well, although I don't hate that game as much as most either. Still, really got my hopes up that between Prime 4 and now Dread, my Metroid "obsession" will pay off this time.
If they had just gone straight into the Metroid reveal without mentioning Prime first, everyone would have immediately assumed it was a Prime trailer and then potentially been disappointed that they still don't have anything to show from that game. That seems the most obvious reason they announced it before showing it.
@@adamx9065 The "They took so long on the 4th one, they ended up making the 5th one before it!" jokes would be all the more ready, though no more accurate.
Wish it would’ve gone something like “we are hard at work on Metroid prime 4 but dont have anything to show just yet. We have been working on something else though…”That way they temper expectations but they don’t outright say “we’ve been working on a new Metroid game”. Small change but I think it would have been meaningful
Watching all the live reactions, I think Nintendo made the right call stating that they were still working on Metroid Prime 4 before giving us Metroid Dread. I think there'd be confusion if you did a cold open.
So many people o watched STILL were like, "is this Metroid Prime 4?" Even after the Metroid 5 title card came up. I guess they just forgot about Fusion being Metroid 4. So yeah, clarifying what they were about to see was a good call.
@b p no its like, metroid snes is metroid 1, metroid samus returns is metroid 2, super metroid is metroid 3, metroid fusion is metroid 4, metroid dread is metroid 5, then theres also metroid prime with its series of games (frankly numbering the 2d metroids like this feels unnecessarily confusing but eh)
The Kazuya reveal was a surprise, but the whole throwing people off a cliff is kinda iconic for his character in cutscenes since the first game, I kinda realized who it was just before they showed his face XD
I'm ashamed of myself. I only knew it was Kazuya because of the Death Battle I watched, (Heihachi vs Geese, or Ryu vs Jin if you wanna get more at it) I really said 'This looks similar..To someone with a bald head.'
Meh. I don't get the appeal. WarioWare looks like a bunch of shitty minigames that people play on their phones. I really don't get why people get excited over it.
@@RyanStorey1231 i guess it’s the narration and funny things you do with the controller. That and the array of WaCKy characters. I’ve never played the WarioWare games, but I mean they look fun with friends
The Mario Party decision was probably to prevent backlash. They may have foresaw people getting mad that they were locking off online play in an entirely seperate game. Preemptive backlash prevention.
@@pxnchx93 yeah its weird, cos aside from the aesthetic it shares nothing with super mario party, but at the same time its not like its a new game either
@@pxnchx93 i don't care about the division of consumer base, at the end of the day they will still earn the same amount of money, i want more and better mario partys and its great that they are delivering, hopefully this one gets dlc
Something about Metroid Dread and Breath of the Wild 2 just feel different. It feels like we are entering the "cool phase" of switch games, Splatoon 3 gives me those vibes too. They just feel so different and thats exciting
Me too. I don't know what it is, but these games have such a different vibe to them. It kinda feels like Nintendo has started to understand their fanbase and I LOVE that.
For me it’s an indication that Nintendo is going to drag the Switch out for as long as possible, i.e. through the ninth console generation. They’re rolling out the sequels to big Switch games and using that new momentum to carry them for years the way the 2017-18 titles.
@@Gemnist98 Well that's usually my favorite part of a console's life cycle. Plenty of good games are already out, and the new ones are making full use of their hardware. Recca, kirby 64, prime 2, and botw are some of my favorite examples.
@@Gemnist98 That's a good thing to me. I love these later life games that make great use of the system and don't put me in a position where I feel like I need a new console.
I get the idea the "telling you what they're going to reveal before they play the trailer" comes from how they got burned a few times in the last few months by telling people "we're going to announce an unspecified thing" and then everyone got hyped for the next industry-breaking game and it turned out to be very niche DLC.
Yeah I agree. And regardless of how exciting Metroid 5 is, I think especially for the Dread trailer it made sense to mention Metroid 5 beforehand, because it has to "compete" with Prime 4 hopes. So it was nice to address Prime 4 quickly and then move on. Though, there might be more exciting ways of saying "this is not Prime 4", so it was sort of the safest option.
@@Progga1 Yep, if Samus dropped in on-screen everyone would immediately freak out and think it's Prime 4 and then feel underwhelmed when it was a 2D game. Some superfans like Arlo would still be super excited, but I think most people would feel baited if it didn't end up being Prime 4.
yea, it makes sense to tell people what they're gonna reveal before the trailer if it might be just a niche DLC, but they Know they're gonna show metroid 5. They know they're announcing something pretty big, so they shouldnt be afraid of backlash for this particular game right?
@@mr.moodle8836 Also, despite being really excited for BOTW2 I'm glad that they didn't show much because it would have stolen Metroid's thunder, and Metroid REALLY needs a win. We can learn more about BOTW2 a little later
I mean, I'm glad a lot of people get a character they love, but since I never played Tekken, and only knew about the throwing into lava thing from youtube videos, I'm sad to say that this was the most disappointed I've been in a reveal ever since Byleth (and I was angry then because Three Houses took all the special unit slots FEH's annual ballot)
@@Luchux177 I’m thinking about having a kid, have them get cancer, contact make a wish foundation, and force my kid’s wish be getting Nintendo to release Walugi as the next DLC in smash
At this point it's mostly opinion. I just wish the people who are disappointed it wasn't their preferred character could let it go and maybe learn something from the people who are excited why exactly Kazuya and Tekken are worthy additions to the series.
Today I passed my university acess exams with quite good marks... and when I get out I remembered that Nintendo E3 was happening. New metroid and new zelda details announced. One of the best days of my life.
Exactly! I had a good laugh when he started tossing other characters....and ofcourse, Kirby of all things, survived. XD Would have killed me if Kaz tossed Pikachu but, Namco'd be on think ice with the Pokemon Company.
a lot of people are a bit confused/underwhelemed by kazuya's reveal making him throw people off the edge of a cliff, but just so you know a lot of tekken fans like myself immediately recognized the scenario and were very hyped about his reveal (for context, in the games he throws his own son off a cliff because of how lions allegedly throw their cubs down ledges to test them)
Not a tekken fan- -but it felt a little to fast, i feel like they should have played it a little slower, drawing out Ganondorf's death a little more, maybe showing the lava splash, and showing his shadowy figure for a second before zooming in onto his eyes for the splash text. I think thats why most people were underwhelmed.
Yeah tekken was really big during the peak era of arcades, a defintive game of the ps1 the best selling console of its era, best sellers on the ps2, ps3, and current era of consoles. And one of the best international scenes of any fighting game.
Mh stories 2, dagonronpa, Botw 2, and Shin Megami Tensei 5 would like to have a talk with you ( Shin Megami Tensei V and Botw 2 are the only new games but the other 2 are cool as well )
@@mr.preston1632 Stories 2, Danganronpa and SMT5 had all been announced prior to the direct tho. We literally saw the trailed for Stories 2 yesterday. I've always felt like E3 should be for amazing things, revealing new IPs, etc. Not a single new IP this year.
My only gripe with SMT V is that the UI is straight up lifted from TMS (Tokyo Mirage Sessions) and it's not stylized like SMT IV'S was. That game's design and UI was incredible for the setting
I think you underestimate the popularity of Tekken. Tekken 7 alone has sold 7 million copies way more popular than most other DLC characters other than Steve and Sephiroth
@@meathir4921 literally just Googled "tekken 7 copies sold" and he's completely right. Even ignoring 7, Tekken is a Pillar of 3D fighting games, so Kazuya getting in is a pretty huge deal.
Tekken is the third biggest fighting franchise after Smash and Mortal Kombat so it is pretty huge, plus it is already pretty intertwined with Nintendo since they made Pokken Tournament
Yeah, Arlo misses the mark on this one. Tekken is an absolute institution in the world of fighting games. Even if he doesn''t care about the character, getting Tekken into Smash is necessary for Smash to (even further) cement its place in FG history.
@@easyygo3008I think they mean like Metroid which games aren't often. Plus advance wars is back after 10 years this also cruising N USA car game also hasn't been around since n64.
Regarding what you said about Kazuya in Smash, he actually does have a lot of reach, believe it or not. The Tekken franchise has sold over 50 million copies (and that’s not even including the amount of times people played it in the arcades), but it doesn’t have a lot of overlap with the Nintendo community, so it doesn’t seem as large as something like Banjo (whose entire franchise has sold less than 10 million, but is very intertwined with the community). From an outside perspective, this was a great decision that’ll likely get more than a few people to pick up the game. By the way, the whole Kazuya-throwing-people-off-a-cliff thing is actually a reference to the series, where he and Heihachi kind of have a back-and-forth of doing so to one another.
I was curious, so I looked it up: despite the age of the franchise, there's only 3 rather minor installments that were released on nintendo hardware (Tekken Advvance, Tekken 3D and Tekken Tag Tournamenent 2). So it doesn't break the "must have appeared on a nintendo system" rule, but it's true that it's really not something people associate
The real problem is _when_ he was announced. People know that there are only a tiny amount of slots left in the roster, so they really need to make them count. If _Kazuya_ was announced earlier it probably wouldn't be a problem, but now there are only two (and now one!) slots left, they really need to be super dooper special. Remember, the last two fighters in _Smash Wii U_ were Cloud and Bayonetta: both *mind-blowing* picks. All I can say is that the last one better count (Please be Dante. Please be Dante).
it is true, ask people on the street who Banjo is and who Saku yu guy whatever his name is. i’ve played hundreds of games and Tekken is one that has never come up in conversation. it’s not discussed on the Internet or in my personal life and i know for a fact that all the people saying Tekken is so important are full of shit. i’m not a fanboy, it is just a fact Banjo is more popular and was heavily requested for years for Super Smash Bros. get your head screwed on right.
@Hkg 1 really isn’t bias, i’m 21 and I adore Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie. they are some of my favorite games. but it’s not bias, i’ve played on every type of system and i’ve played fighting games as well. the reason i like Banjo more is because it’s a better series, the reason why it’s so popular is because it deserves the hype.
@Hkg 1 “generic levels” absolutely not. “the camera” Just like Mario 64 if the camera annoys you that much it’s your own fault. it really isn’t a bad camera. just not as perfected as later 3D platformers. “too much collectible” That’s the point of the game, maybe don’t play a platforming game if you hate collecting things. “the questions they ask at the end are too hard” no they aren’t, pay better attention during the game. the question game adds replay value as well, it’s to the games benefit.
Damn Arlo you seem hard to please today haha. I thought the BotW 2 ending trailer was great, it showed just enough new mechanics to get my interest but not too much that I would have no questions. I am so happy about that, and a 2022 release date is pretty good considering the world situation. I was never under the impression it would release before holiday 2021 to begin with, so 2022 doesn't seem that bad! We haven't had a warioware game in YEARS, and although they are not for me I definitely don't think it was inevitable. Metroid goes without saying, that's just great, and I loved your reaction by the way. Mario party is pretty nice, the DS game you mentioned didn't have any boards, just mini games -- it sucked. The new one is giving people what they want, classic boards and loads of minigames: not something I will play but definitely a step in the right direction. And then Kazuya, again, I don't care much for him but tekken is HUGE. This is a really big reveal for a lot of the playerbase, and he looks like he might have some fun mechanics. The only things I really cared about were metroid and BotW 2, kazuya will be another character to play around with, but everything else I think takes a step in a good direction for Nintendo. Lots of people wanted a more classic Mario party game with proper online, warioware has been gone for years and 2D metroid, I never thought we would see that again. This direct made me happy, and I think it stands leagues above anything else we have seen this year at E3.
Exactly! He complains so damn much about everything. I know his job is to review games and be critical but he’s never happy bro. Like “Oh yeah tekken doesn’t have much reach”, “Warioware was inevitable”. Like things like these i thought were huge surprises to be thrilled abt but yeah apparently not for the fluffy blue man

Mario Party: The Top 100 literally only had a collection of minigames and nothing else, which was disappointing considering 80% of what makes Mario Party fun are the boards, so to have a game with classic boards as well, and fixing the problems from Super Mario Party from what I saw, is very exciting as an MP fan.
I don’t play Mario Party at all, but I’ve heard enough to where the moment I saw the characters were walking around instead of being in a cart, I knew the fanbase would be crazy happy.
@@sethjansson5652 Super Metroid is the only one I’ve played and that experience is enough for me to give Dread a chance when it comes out. That’s how good Super Metroid is.
@@thekiwistraveljournal2992 Yeah, but I am still excited for Mario Party Superstars. I loved Mario Party 2 and Mario Party 8 was nostalgic and underrated, and I even have Star Rush as a guilty pleasure. Heck, I even have the gamecube Mario Party games on Dolphin and enjoyed them(By myself. Sad). I haven't played MP3 yet, I used it for the animation debug to use in my videos one day just like SMG4, and I have ever played the first game, so this is amazing.
don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful here but Tekken has a HUGE reach especially the comparison you made to banjo. Tekken's overall series sales is 50 million units sold and from what i can find on google banjo is somewhere around under 10 million. If someone can find an exact number let me know :) Banjo is more associated with Nintendo though compared to tekken which only has 1 or 2 games on a Nintendo platforms so in that regard it has bigger reach to people like you More nintendo focused consumers and tekken is definitely not that lol
I wouldn't say it's appropriate to compare a large franchises sales to that of a single game. Tekken has had the chance to benefit off of its popularity multiple times, while despite any popularity, banjo managed to do it only twice. You'll find a lot of tekken games sell at similar numbers, even though they've benefited from being on larger consoles or being in the much larger modern market.
@@AndresLionheart There is also Pokkén Tournament (Pokémon Tekken). It is a spin-off and initially was also on the Wii U (but later the Switch) though.
I think overall nothing really BLEW MY MIND this time, but there was plenty of good, solid, "little" things that made this a good one. The only thing I can really say I was disappointed in was the Smash reveal, and that's only because I personally don't care about Tekken
Same here, but I kinda understand the excitement. I had unnecessarily high expectations for Dr. Eggman to get revealed this direct (beforehand), but Sonic fans will get their Smash sweets in due time. (I even imagined how Eggman's reveal trailer would go; despite not being a Tekken fan, I immediately knew, about 2 to 3 seconds in, that another character was being revealed.)
@@camthesaxman3387 It's even *more* respectable considering how complex, flashy, intimidating (and cool) Kazuya's combos are. He seems like a fun character to play as/fight against, especially when you know what you're doing. *EDIT:* Frankly, I'd say that his combos are the most complicated of all the fighting game fighters in Smash. _Don't fight me over that statement..._
It's funny he thinks the build up for Kazuya was misleading considering throwing people in a volcano is a Tekken tradition and Sakurai was very aware of that.
I lost my mind at Danganronpa. That series has been confined to very few video game consoles. The fact at all the main games got on to a Nintendo platform is pretty big
Yeah I feel that Arlo is unaware of certain gaming series that are huge and success that isn't Nintendo. He clearly underestimate the popularity of Tekken, it's more than the fact that it's been around for a long time, it's one of the biggest fighting game series alongside Street Fighter. You don't need to be a Tekken fan to realise that. Danganronpa is a similar thing as well, it's a very popular series and now it's available on Nintendo platforms is good news. I feel that people should be more optimistic and tamper their expectations sometimes. People shouldn't be disappointed and upset that it's not a character they want for Smash. What if Spyro makes it in and not Crash, are they going to say "wasted slot" and "nobody asked for this". But yet they complain about too many Sword fights, smh. 🤷🏾♂️
Metroid was never a very popular series. It was Prime that got people interested. I remember having to drive all over town looking for Super Metroid when it released because nobody was even carrying it. You couldn’t even find it for rent. It printed really low numbers in its original run.
Same with Terry for me tbh, it's "cool" to get the crossovers with the big fighting games especially when they have most of their inputs from the actual game but all ot really translates to is a character I won't bother to actually learn because I'm unable to make full use of them, lol. I've kind of just accepted I'll always be a little disappointed whenever the reveal isn't Sora or Dante but I'm fine with that since we've already gotten some insanely good ones like Banjo.
@@ExaltedUriel Clearly you're from the US, thinking that Banjo is huge, and Dante would be cool, but that Terry somehow isn't fucking off the charts incredible. Please remember that Smash is an international game. I'm sure people from South America were more stoked than ANYONE when it came to Terry.
For Kazuya, I'd argue he has MORE of a reach than Banjo does. Tekken is one of the best selling franchises around and a lot of people know who Kazuya is since he's a major character from the games, back to being the protagonist of the first game and a villain later on.
Yeah it honestly isn’t even close lmao. Kazuya/the Mishimas and Tekken have a HUGE presence in the gaming landscape and Banjo-Kazooie is pretty much totally unknown outside of the “N64 nostalgia” crowd.
Furthering this: Banjo Kazooie on the N64, 20 years ago: 3.2 million sales Tekken 7, a game still being sold today: over 5 million sales And that's not taking into account how Tekken 3 (that was 20 years ago, like Banjo on the N64) sold something like 8 millions. So statistically, Kazuya is a far bigger deal than Banjo, yes.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but how many people buys Tekken games exclusively for the multiplayer with friends and barely even registers the names of most of the characters though? Tekken has loads of characters, right, so there’s a decent chance a large percentage of its player base hasn’t even touched him. Some western fans massively overestimate the pull of Banjo though.
@@jonfresh42 Just about everyone who's played Tekken at some point knows who Kazuya is and has more than likely tried him out. Even setting aside the story modes in which he's usually the main character, he's everywhere in the advertisements and takes centre stage in the game's box art. Not to mention he's literally the character the game defaults to on the character select screen, which is obviously going to push people to at least experiment with him. He's also consistently one of the most highly used characters in the game. Kazuya's are plentiful online. Just about everyone in the Tekken community is able to memorise a lot of the series cast in general anyway. There are a lot of people who play Smash exclusively for the multiplayer that can still name most of the characters, even from games they haven't played, and it's no different in Tekken.
"The Kazuya reveal was anticlimactic" Throwing people off cliffs is a Mishima family tradition. It fits perfectly with him and his game. You could say the same about the Ryu trailer but that opening shot was a reference to Street Fighter intros.
I'm sure Nintendo will do botw 2 right. All I want to know about it now is the name, and what's up with Ganondorf. just more insight on him and how he managed to rip like half of the main world from the 1st game and put it in the sky
In the live reaction Arlo said that he didn't know much about the games and he's never played one so I'm not surprised he didn't have anything to say. Hopefully he plays it when it comes out because it's a great franchise.
@Aaron McCombe i mean he makes it his business to talk about these things, he could of at least had the decency to talk briefly on ONE OF NINTENDO’s LITERAL HEADLINES in the Direct to be quite honest these nintendo-tubers sometimes smh 🤦
Yes Arlo my dear blue gumdrop, throwing someone off a cliff is a very iconic canonical thing with Heihachi/Kazuya in Tekken lol and I assure you every Tekken fan went crazy for that 😛 I’m so HYPE! Also Arlo is just spoiling us with this content ☺️
I’m happy for those who got what they wanted by I’m honestly absolutely gutted that they didn’t do anything substantial for zeldas 35. I just wanted twilight princess on switch man :(
You see, this is a very funny pun. He said "dreading" because a part of the game's title is "Dread". He said he wasnt "dreading" the release of a new "Metroid", and this is the best part, because both "Dread", and "Metroid" are in the title. 10/10 joke, your pfp represents perfectly my reaction to this comment, hope you follow your dreams and become a comedian
@@tumamaeswatona7827 Yea I was legit rotf. It's such a funny pun because he said "dreading". I agree this dude should definitely become a future comedian because I almost died of laughter.
3:32 So to clarify, what's significant here is that Mario Party Top 100 didn't really have boards. It had one generic board with very underwhelming gameplay, and other than that it was *just* minigames. Mario Party Superstars actually having classic boards in addition to new minigames is a lot more substantial in comparison. Hope that clears things up :)
I looked up Kazuya and immediately learned why the cliff was used for the reveal, it’s literally a reference to his story. I just think in your position you should really look into these sort of things. Especially if you want to go the game journalist route.
A couple things I really wanted to see like Odyssey 2 and Mario Kart 9 as well as that rumored donkey kong game didn't happen unfortunately, but I can't get mad at a new smash reveal (even though I don't know the character or play tekken), new warioware, metroid and Mario party games plus a botw 2 update. Solid overall. The one thing I will say though is that it felt a little bit underwhelming for an e3 direct in the sense that it lacked the big hitter that gets everyone hyped. Like the last one had Banjos smash reveal and the BOTW 2 reveal. Games like the new metroid are really cool but not huge games and it was inevitable that we'd be getting BOTW 2 news at some point. Not saying that it was bad by any means, just saying that in that regard I can see how some people are disappointed
I agree with you so much I felt they focused too much on games that weren’t that big. They could’ve revealed lots of these games in a normal direct. I also felt they spent way too much time explaining old games.
I personally wanted a peek at the Kirby game that HAL was hyping up. Hopefully that means they're making sure that this is the best Kirby game they can make. Other than that, Direct was hype.
I heard Microsoft's was pretty good, and I honestly really liked Razer's lol. The guy at that show as super enthusiastic and it made a otherwise standard or even boring presentation pretty entertaining imo
Microsoft killed it. They had a lot of great announcements, with most of them coming to Game Pass. Especially great if you like RPGs. I don't care for nostalgia stuff, so I thought the Nintendo Direct was a waste of time, except Metroid 5 and BotW 2.
Personally I love the toy style with Links Awakening and Advance Wars, it fits the aesthetic of all the original games with adding a ton of cute charm on top of it. I like toys, what can I say lol
Tekken was brought up a bunch before Ultimate came out, especially people predicting Heihachi. He was a Mii Costume in Smash 4, and Tekken is made by Bandai Namco. A lot of the speculation went down because Heihachi was once again made a Mii Costume during the Minmin reveal trailer. Up until this reveal, every single new franchise's Mii Costumes were revealed with the character from that franchise, never before. Edit: Forgot to mention that Sakurai himself said that Heihachi was considered for Smash 4.
I feel like Arlo is overestimating the popularity of the games he loves. Like a Metroid is cool and all but the entire series as a whole has only moved 17 million copies. Compare that to like Tekken which has sold 50 million copies or Mario Party in which Super Mario Party moved 14 million units ALONE. It's not that I'm saying a new HD Metroid isn't a big deal it is, and part of it's lack of sales is due to Nintendo's lack of pushing the series. Just felt like a bit of bias from Alro's part but other then that a great vid.
Yeah, Arlo is incredibly bias and it really is funny hearing him saying outrageously wrong thing like "Banko Koozie has a bigger reach than Tekken" That's some clown shit right there
Fatal Frame has me hyped! I've always wanted to play Fatal Frame but never had the chance to. I hope it's great and I will greatly enjoy the opportunity to play it.
Samus Returns also released on the 3ds the year the Switch came out. I fully believe if it had been a Switch title it would have crossed a million at least
The thing about Returns for me was that it was a remake if Metroid 2. I didn't like the premise of hunting down Metroids and that's it. I did play AM2R and it wasn't as jarring as I thought it'd be but I know I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I had to pay money for it and play on the 3DS. Dread though? 100% buying it.
Arlo. Tekken 7 outsold Twilight Princess. I read on twitter that Nintendo fans live in this bubble where we don't realize just how large other franchises are and I think it's right. Like I had no idea how big Tekken was until I looked into it.
I was expecting another federation force situation or that they just gonna say that samus suit and Canon are now available for MH rise since that was a thing since MH 4. When the metroid 5 poped up i was just speechless, took me a while to realize what just happened.
Kazuya has way more reach than Banjo Kazooie because Tekken has sold a lot more copies than all 3 Banjo games combined which isn’t even close in comparison and he’s been well known since 1995 when the Tekken franchise started. Do your research!
Yeah I know it was a little weird to say but i think he meant in the way of popularity for Nintendo fans as well as being less hugely surprising and out of nowhere where people are slipping their shit with Steve or Cloud etc, the Tekken rep is important but I guess it just seems to be more predictable and makes sense more because of it being such a major fighting game series.

1:47 'He's not gonna have a massive reach like banjo' Tekken has had seven games, a handful of spinoffs, predates Smash Bros, and has a pro scene that the devs actually cares about. You're entitled to not like the character but how does a character from a series as HUGE as Tekken have 'no reach?'. Kazuya/Tekken reps have been the air ever since Smash started to be developed by Namco Bandai, it was a matter of time. He's not just 'karate punch guy' he has like thirty fucking moves that they're somehow squeezing into a game with three attack buttons. You're right that Banjo is a character that a lot of people really wanted and its a pipe dream come true that hes in smash after all this time, as is most of the DLC characters like Joker, Sephiroth, Terry and Steve, most of which not a lot of people ever dreamed of being in. Kazuya absolutely makes sense and is just as much of a big deal as any of the new additions, especially a character thats had three games and one of which was good lmao
Personally, I'm not hung up on the idea of them presenting a trailer the right way. Nintendo directs are meant to be a means to show off a game and whether or not a game looks good matters more to me that whether or not the advertisement was done correctly. If I got the game I wanted, I'm not gonna nitpick.
Of course, It rlly depends from person to person. Some might say it was “Saved” because they got what they wanted out of it while some might say the opposite because they didn’t.
Advance Wars, an old, neglected GameBoy property, is back. If Golden Sun were to return, it would be in the same boat. Their developer, Camelot, will be wide open in a few days when Mario Golf releases. They've also already finished Mario Tennis, so the essential, every-generation Mario Sports games are done. We are in the 2nd half of the Switch's lifespan, where most major franchises have 1-2 new games, and the time has come to experiment with B-series and new IPs. The Switch is super successful, with a huge installbase known for giving less popular series their new best-selling entry. Now is the opportune time for Golden Sun.
Camelot is a veteran enough studio that I'm certain they're already working on their next project already and have been for at least a year. Re-Boot Camp had to have been in development for quite a while so if Camelot really is working on a Golden Sun 1/2 pack like WayForward is with Advance Wars we could see it by the end of next year.
Hey man. I've been playing Nintendo games since 1987, when I was a kid, and I didn't even play any Metroid until 2010 when I picked up the Metroid Prime Trilogy - and got addicted. The base can grow. I will buy that, and anything else that they make of Metroid, and I'm playing Samus Returns on my 3DS as I speak.
I picked up Metroid with Metroid 3 (Super Metroid) and have obviously played everything since (and prior). I didn't love Samus Returns as much as most people, so I'm a little apprehensive about Dread playing similarly, but that isn't gunna stop me from getting a game which is a proper follow-up to Fusion. More than anything I wanna know what happened to her suit post-X! I am still happy Samus Returns exists though, because now I can play Zero Mission > Returns > Super > Fusion > Dread and not feel like I'm missing anything =D
The Kazuya announcement is a huge deal. That's a massive franchise we have there, surely bigger in terms of sales and popularity than most of the DLC characters we got so far, including Banjo, Joker and Min Min. I think Arlo is just not appreciating the announcement, the modality, the vulcano joke and the way the character is built because he's clearly not a fan of the series (during the live reaction he wasn't even sure he's from Tekken, and he's the literal face of Tekken).
Arlo! Shin Megami Tensei 5! At least give it a mention that was my personal highlight! You did the jrpg dirty! Haha super excited for Metroid and BOTW2 as well
I liked the Direct a lot. It's the first time in a long while it felt like I wasn't watching ''RPG Direct with a few surprises here and there''. This was definitely a Direct for the little guy. Niche, lovable titles like Super Monkey Ball, 2D Metroid, WarioWare and Advance Wars
i still cannot believe Dread is a real thing that exists now. It's been nothing but a legend for years
I am all about the Metroid hype. I literally bought my Switch the day after the original Prime 4 announcement in eager anticipation, and was equally disappointed when it was subsequently delayed. Been getting good use out of my Switch with Hyrule Warriors and Breath of the Wild in the mean time at least.
Seriously though, this wasn't even the first time Metroid was the reason I bought a new consol. I did the same thing with the Wii and Other M... yeah, that didn't turn out so well, although I don't hate that game as much as most either. Still, really got my hopes up that between Prime 4 and now Dread, my Metroid "obsession" will pay off this time.
And its coming this year, right?
@@KuroNoMori october 8th. my birthday. happy birthday to me, from Nintendo
I'm so hyped for it ot looks is smooth
This is what it would feel like if Half-Life 3 was announced, I think.
If they had just gone straight into the Metroid reveal without mentioning Prime first, everyone would have immediately assumed it was a Prime trailer and then potentially been disappointed that they still don't have anything to show from that game. That seems the most obvious reason they announced it before showing it.
100%. Every single reaction would've been "Prime! Prime? Wait what is this? Why are they showing this and not Prime?"
Totally. And I'm sure a lot of people would be confused when "Metroid 5" pops up on the screen like "I thought they were working on 4?"
Furthermore, the last time they marketed a Metroid game badly...
Yeah Federation Force’s dislike counter still sucks
@@adamx9065 The "They took so long on the 4th one, they ended up making the 5th one before it!" jokes would be all the more ready, though no more accurate.
Wish it would’ve gone something like “we are hard at work on Metroid prime 4 but dont have anything to show just yet. We have been working on something else though…”That way they temper expectations but they don’t outright say “we’ve been working on a new Metroid game”. Small change but I think it would have been meaningful
Watching all the live reactions, I think Nintendo made the right call stating that they were still working on Metroid Prime 4 before giving us Metroid Dread. I think there'd be confusion if you did a cold open.
So many people o watched STILL were like, "is this Metroid Prime 4?" Even after the Metroid 5 title card came up.
I guess they just forgot about Fusion being Metroid 4.
So yeah, clarifying what they were about to see was a good call.
@@Agent719 Yeah
I saw a few people assume that it was Metroid PRIME 5 and joked that the developers just scrapped 4 to work on its sequel instead
@@stevenquast2841 lol Metroid Prime 5? That's very funny. But sometimes we forget that there's people who follow these series less than we do.
@b p no its like, metroid snes is metroid 1, metroid samus returns is metroid 2, super metroid is metroid 3, metroid fusion is metroid 4, metroid dread is metroid 5, then theres also metroid prime with its series of games (frankly numbering the 2d metroids like this feels unnecessarily confusing but eh)
The Kazuya reveal was a surprise, but the whole throwing people off a cliff is kinda iconic for his character in cutscenes since the first game, I kinda realized who it was just before they showed his face XD
The music was a dead giveaway
I'm ashamed of myself. I only knew it was Kazuya because of the Death Battle I watched, (Heihachi vs Geese, or Ryu vs Jin if you wanna get more at it) I really said 'This looks similar..To someone with a bald head.'
Kayuya: *throws kirby off a cliff*
Kirby: Oh no! anyway...
I thought it was his dad at first NGL
Was I the only one who thought that was an ejection from Among Us?
"WarioWare is one of those inevitable things... so it's not exciting."
Bro, this is the first fully new WarioWare game in TWELVE YEARS.
Oh, I forgot Gold was a 'best-of' compilation
After playing wario ware on the Wii U and 3DS, (Wario Ware Gold), I have to say I’m super excited for this new game
Meh. I don't get the appeal.
WarioWare looks like a bunch of shitty minigames that people play on their phones. I really don't get why people get excited over it.
It’s just a 60$ ds game. Apparently according to a lot of people and Nintendo mini game collection = breath of the wild.
@@RyanStorey1231 i guess it’s the narration and funny things you do with the controller. That and the array of WaCKy characters. I’ve never played the WarioWare games, but I mean they look fun with friends
The Mario Party decision was probably to prevent backlash. They may have foresaw people getting mad that they were locking off online play in an entirely seperate game. Preemptive backlash prevention.
Good point
No, it was just to test the online servers.
I would still have preferred that to be dlc for super Mario party, I feel they’re dividing the customer base
@@pxnchx93 yeah its weird, cos aside from the aesthetic it shares nothing with super mario party, but at the same time its not like its a new game either
@@pxnchx93 i don't care about the division of consumer base, at the end of the day they will still earn the same amount of money, i want more and better mario partys and its great that they are delivering, hopefully this one gets dlc
Something about Metroid Dread and Breath of the Wild 2 just feel different. It feels like we are entering the "cool phase" of switch games, Splatoon 3 gives me those vibes too.
They just feel so different and thats exciting
I love later gen games, especially since they feel more wacky and out there, ya know?
Me too. I don't know what it is, but these games have such a different vibe to them. It kinda feels like Nintendo has started to understand their fanbase and I LOVE that.
For me it’s an indication that Nintendo is going to drag the Switch out for as long as possible, i.e. through the ninth console generation. They’re rolling out the sequels to big Switch games and using that new momentum to carry them for years the way the 2017-18 titles.
@@Gemnist98 Well that's usually my favorite part of a console's life cycle. Plenty of good games are already out, and the new ones are making full use of their hardware. Recca, kirby 64, prime 2, and botw are some of my favorite examples.
@@Gemnist98 That's a good thing to me. I love these later life games that make great use of the system and don't put me in a position where I feel like I need a new console.
I get the idea the "telling you what they're going to reveal before they play the trailer" comes from how they got burned a few times in the last few months by telling people "we're going to announce an unspecified thing" and then everyone got hyped for the next industry-breaking game and it turned out to be very niche DLC.
Yeah I agree. And regardless of how exciting Metroid 5 is, I think especially for the Dread trailer it made sense to mention Metroid 5 beforehand, because it has to "compete" with Prime 4 hopes. So it was nice to address Prime 4 quickly and then move on. Though, there might be more exciting ways of saying "this is not Prime 4", so it was sort of the safest option.
@@Progga1 Yep, if Samus dropped in on-screen everyone would immediately freak out and think it's Prime 4 and then feel underwhelmed when it was a 2D game. Some superfans like Arlo would still be super excited, but I think most people would feel baited if it didn't end up being Prime 4.
It was a safe play, at least for metroid.
yea, it makes sense to tell people what they're gonna reveal before the trailer if it might be just a niche DLC, but they Know they're gonna show metroid 5. They know they're announcing something pretty big, so they shouldnt be afraid of backlash for this particular game right?
@@mr.moodle8836 Also, despite being really excited for BOTW2 I'm glad that they didn't show much because it would have stolen Metroid's thunder, and Metroid REALLY needs a win. We can learn more about BOTW2 a little later
Tekken’s place in Smash is a bigger deal than you’d think. The franchise is immensely iconic as a fighting game series.
I mean, I'm glad a lot of people get a character they love, but since I never played Tekken, and only knew about the throwing into lava thing from youtube videos, I'm sad to say that this was the most disappointed I've been in a reveal ever since Byleth (and I was angry then because Three Houses took all the special unit slots FEH's annual ballot)
@@Luchux177 It’s fine to be a bit let down by a character reveal, but in the end it’s about how you go about it.
@@Luchux177 I’m thinking about having a kid, have them get cancer, contact make a wish foundation, and force my kid’s wish be getting Nintendo to release Walugi as the next DLC in smash
His criticism was that it made TOO much sense adding him and that it didn't break any ceilings they way Cloud or Snake did
At this point it's mostly opinion. I just wish the people who are disappointed it wasn't their preferred character could let it go and maybe learn something from the people who are excited why exactly Kazuya and Tekken are worthy additions to the series.
Personally, what I liked the most was seeing gameplay of SMT V and knowing that it is indeed coming in November.

a lot of people are a bit confused/underwhelemed by kazuya's reveal making him throw people off the edge of a cliff, but just so you know a lot of tekken fans like myself immediately recognized the scenario and were very hyped about his reveal (for context, in the games he throws his own son off a cliff because of how lions allegedly throw their cubs down ledges to test them)
Not a tekken fan-
-but it felt a little to fast, i feel like they should have played it a little slower, drawing out Ganondorf's death a little more, maybe showing the lava splash, and showing his shadowy figure for a second before zooming in onto his eyes for the splash text. I think thats why most people were underwhelmed.

Arlo, I dont think your heart would have been able to handle the Metroid 5 reveal if you didn't know it was metroid going in.
I think Arlo would have considered it a good Direct even if it had nothing but Metroid Dread followed by dead air for 35 minutes.
Mh stories 2, dagonronpa, Botw 2, and Shin Megami Tensei 5 would like to have a talk with you ( Shin Megami Tensei V and Botw 2 are the only new games but the other 2 are cool as well )

@@mr.preston1632 Stories 2, Danganronpa and SMT5 had all been announced prior to the direct tho. We literally saw the trailed for Stories 2 yesterday. I've always felt like E3 should be for amazing things, revealing new IPs, etc. Not a single new IP this year.

Forgot to talk about SMT5, only a few people would've popped off over that but those people popped off SUPER hard.
Ah yes worse persona
Was thinking the same. Also given how Arlo has been consumed by Monster Hunter lately, you'd think he'd mention the new one.
That basically describes the SMT fandom in general. There may be fewer of them than other big series, but those fans are SUPER dedicated.
I know some purists will crucify me, but I just can't get excited over what looks like Persona 5 minus the parts I enjoyed.
My only gripe with SMT V is that the UI is straight up lifted from TMS (Tokyo Mirage Sessions) and it's not stylized like SMT IV'S was. That game's design and UI was incredible for the setting

@@KetsubanSolo I know how much T7 sold; I play other fighting games and take part in the FGC. But the Smash DLC has some really big sellers.
Tekken is the third biggest fighting franchise after Smash and Mortal Kombat so it is pretty huge, plus it is already pretty intertwined with Nintendo since they made Pokken Tournament
Also... y'know.... Namco develops Smash.
Yeah, Arlo misses the mark on this one. Tekken is an absolute institution in the world of fighting games. Even if he doesn''t care about the character, getting Tekken into Smash is necessary for Smash to (even further) cement its place in FG history.
Wish we could get tekken on switch.
Wait Mortal Kombat is big? Wow. I had a feeling it got big in the US (gratuitous violence and all of that) but its weird to see it typed out.

Regarding what you said about Kazuya in Smash, he actually does have a lot of reach, believe it or not. The Tekken franchise has sold over 50 million copies (and that’s not even including the amount of times people played it in the arcades), but it doesn’t have a lot of overlap with the Nintendo community, so it doesn’t seem as large as something like Banjo (whose entire franchise has sold less than 10 million, but is very intertwined with the community). From an outside perspective, this was a great decision that’ll likely get more than a few people to pick up the game.
By the way, the whole Kazuya-throwing-people-off-a-cliff thing is actually a reference to the series, where he and Heihachi kind of have a back-and-forth of doing so to one another.
I was curious, so I looked it up: despite the age of the franchise, there's only 3 rather minor installments that were released on nintendo hardware (Tekken Advvance, Tekken 3D and Tekken Tag Tournamenent 2).
So it doesn't break the "must have appeared on a nintendo system" rule, but it's true that it's really not something people associate
im sure the 5 tekken fans are popping off
The real problem is _when_ he was announced. People know that there are only a tiny amount of slots left in the roster, so they really need to make them count. If _Kazuya_ was announced earlier it probably wouldn't be a problem, but now there are only two (and now one!) slots left, they really need to be super dooper special.
Remember, the last two fighters in _Smash Wii U_ were Cloud and Bayonetta: both *mind-blowing* picks.
All I can say is that the last one better count (Please be Dante. Please be Dante).
@@graemevaughey7432 cloud was 3rd last Corrine and Bayonetta where released on the same day
@@graemevaughey7432 also neither Corrine or Bayonetta where that big in fact both generated alot of backlash
1:46 is Arlo saying that Banjo Kazooie is more popular than Tekken? Because that's demonstrably untrue
it is true, ask people on the street who Banjo is and who Saku yu guy whatever his name is. i’ve played hundreds of games and Tekken is one that has never come up in conversation. it’s not discussed on the Internet or in my personal life and i know for a fact that all the people saying Tekken is so important are full of shit. i’m not a fanboy, it is just a fact Banjo is more popular and was heavily requested for years for Super Smash Bros. get your head screwed on right.
@Hkg 1 really isn’t bias, i’m 21 and I adore Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie. they are some of my favorite games. but it’s not bias, i’ve played on every type of system and i’ve played fighting games as well. the reason i like Banjo more is because it’s a better series, the reason why it’s so popular is because it deserves the hype.
@Hkg 1 it has not aged poorly, you probably just have ADHD.
@Hkg 1 “generic levels” absolutely not. “the camera” Just like Mario 64 if the camera annoys you that much it’s your own fault. it really isn’t a bad camera. just not as perfected as later 3D platformers. “too much collectible” That’s the point of the game, maybe don’t play a platforming game if you hate collecting things. “the questions they ask at the end are too hard” no they aren’t, pay better attention during the game. the question game adds replay value as well, it’s to the games benefit.
@Hkg 1 I mean you sound about 14 years old so maybe come back to it when you are older or better at it.
Damn Arlo you seem hard to please today haha. I thought the BotW 2 ending trailer was great, it showed just enough new mechanics to get my interest but not too much that I would have no questions. I am so happy about that, and a 2022 release date is pretty good considering the world situation. I was never under the impression it would release before holiday 2021 to begin with, so 2022 doesn't seem that bad! We haven't had a warioware game in YEARS, and although they are not for me I definitely don't think it was inevitable. Metroid goes without saying, that's just great, and I loved your reaction by the way. Mario party is pretty nice, the DS game you mentioned didn't have any boards, just mini games -- it sucked. The new one is giving people what they want, classic boards and loads of minigames: not something I will play but definitely a step in the right direction. And then Kazuya, again, I don't care much for him but tekken is HUGE. This is a really big reveal for a lot of the playerbase, and he looks like he might have some fun mechanics. The only things I really cared about were metroid and BotW 2, kazuya will be another character to play around with, but everything else I think takes a step in a good direction for Nintendo. Lots of people wanted a more classic Mario party game with proper online, warioware has been gone for years and 2D metroid, I never thought we would see that again. This direct made me happy, and I think it stands leagues above anything else we have seen this year at E3.
Exactly! He complains so damn much about everything. I know his job is to review games and be critical but he’s never happy bro. Like “Oh yeah tekken doesn’t have much reach”, “Warioware was inevitable”. Like things like these i thought were huge surprises to be thrilled abt but yeah apparently not for the fluffy blue man

don't mean to sound rude or disrespectful here but
Tekken has a HUGE reach especially the comparison you made to banjo.
Tekken's overall series sales is 50 million units sold and from what i can find on google banjo is somewhere around under 10 million. If someone can find an exact number let me know :)
Banjo is more associated with Nintendo though compared to tekken which only has 1 or 2 games on a Nintendo platforms so in that regard it has bigger reach to people like you
More nintendo focused consumers and tekken is definitely not that lol
I wouldn't say it's appropriate to compare a large franchises sales to that of a single game. Tekken has had the chance to benefit off of its popularity multiple times, while despite any popularity, banjo managed to do it only twice. You'll find a lot of tekken games sell at similar numbers, even though they've benefited from being on larger consoles or being in the much larger modern market.
@@cookiebandit18 I mean ttt2 was the lowest selling game and Tekken 7 was the highest and they came right after each other

Yeah I feel that Arlo is unaware of certain gaming series that are huge and success that isn't Nintendo. He clearly underestimate the popularity of Tekken, it's more than the fact that it's been around for a long time, it's one of the biggest fighting game series alongside Street Fighter. You don't need to be a Tekken fan to realise that. Danganronpa is a similar thing as well, it's a very popular series and now it's available on Nintendo platforms is good news.
I feel that people should be more optimistic and tamper their expectations sometimes. People shouldn't be disappointed and upset that it's not a character they want for Smash. What if Spyro makes it in and not Crash, are they going to say "wasted slot" and "nobody asked for this". But yet they complain about too many Sword fights, smh. 🤷🏾♂️
Nobody was talking about Kaguya because after Heihachi got turned into a Mii Costume everyone was convinced Tekken was out of the running
I thought we learned our lesson from Min-Min
i literally just finished super metroid the other day, so seeing a new 2d metroid was insane. totally buying it
Me too!
If you haven't played it yet, play Metroid Fusion. Super Metroid is Metroid 3, Fusion is Metroid 4, and Dread is a direct sequel to Fusion.
I think they said that dread catches you up on everything
Never played metroid but i'm down for dread, looks great
Seeing this sentiment go around quite a bit
This pleases me
Metroid was never a very popular series. It was Prime that got people interested.
I remember having to drive all over town looking for Super Metroid when it released because nobody was even carrying it. You couldn’t even find it for rent. It printed really low numbers in its original run.
Try out super Metroid on the SNES for switch while waiting. Still holds up great
@@JazGalaxy Metroid never popular?? What??
Wow, really?! Don't bother, this game is a disservice to this most amazing of series!
Start off with Prime1. You will _not_ be disappointed.
Seeing Arlo so excited is so wholesome
More like refreshing, considering the constant whining XD
Kazuya for me is the most “polite golf clap” smash reveal
Same with Terry for me tbh, it's "cool" to get the crossovers with the big fighting games especially when they have most of their inputs from the actual game but all ot really translates to is a character I won't bother to actually learn because I'm unable to make full use of them, lol. I've kind of just accepted I'll always be a little disappointed whenever the reveal isn't Sora or Dante but I'm fine with that since we've already gotten some insanely good ones like Banjo.
Having a fighter in a fighting game does t excite me as much as someone like duck hunt or cloud
@@ExaltedUriel Terry and Kazuya are big deals in Asia. These are the smash picks that definitely highlight the gap between the east and west
@@ExaltedUriel Clearly you're from the US, thinking that Banjo is huge, and Dante would be cool, but that Terry somehow isn't fucking off the charts incredible. Please remember that Smash is an international game. I'm sure people from South America were more stoked than ANYONE when it came to Terry.
I shrugged when Terry got announced but literally fist pumped for Kazuya given how much Tekken 4 I played on the PS2 as a kid.
If they didn't tell us, we would have assumed it was Prime 4, that's why they did it.
For Kazuya, I'd argue he has MORE of a reach than Banjo does. Tekken is one of the best selling franchises around and a lot of people know who Kazuya is since he's a major character from the games, back to being the protagonist of the first game and a villain later on.
Yeah it honestly isn’t even close lmao. Kazuya/the Mishimas and Tekken have a HUGE presence in the gaming landscape and Banjo-Kazooie is pretty much totally unknown outside of the “N64 nostalgia” crowd.
Furthering this: Banjo Kazooie on the N64, 20 years ago: 3.2 million sales
Tekken 7, a game still being sold today: over 5 million sales
And that's not taking into account how Tekken 3 (that was 20 years ago, like Banjo on the N64) sold something like 8 millions.
So statistically, Kazuya is a far bigger deal than Banjo, yes.
I’m not necessarily disagreeing with you, but how many people buys Tekken games exclusively for the multiplayer with friends and barely even registers the names of most of the characters though? Tekken has loads of characters, right, so there’s a decent chance a large percentage of its player base hasn’t even touched him.
Some western fans massively overestimate the pull of Banjo though.
I feel like Tekken is a bigger name itself but the iconic character from there is Heihachi, not Kazuya.
@@jonfresh42 Just about everyone who's played Tekken at some point knows who Kazuya is and has more than likely tried him out.
Even setting aside the story modes in which he's usually the main character, he's everywhere in the advertisements and takes centre stage in the game's box art.
Not to mention he's literally the character the game defaults to on the character select screen, which is obviously going to push people to at least experiment with him.
He's also consistently one of the most highly used characters in the game. Kazuya's are plentiful online.
Just about everyone in the Tekken community is able to memorise a lot of the series cast in general anyway. There are a lot of people who play Smash exclusively for the multiplayer that can still name most of the characters, even from games they haven't played, and it's no different in Tekken.
16:47 "I had an inkling!" Wait. How could you, Arlo? You just said there was no Splatoon 3 news in this E3 Direct! 😅
That pun was horrible, take my like
I’m completely satisfied. Several games of interest to me and Botw 2 on top of it all. Can’t wait to play the age of calamity dlc on Friday too
i’m relieved we at least got something tangible about botw2 after two years of radio silence.
Technically we got news last year even if it was just "production is coming along fine"
@@BJGvideos you’re right. though the news was only about when we’d get more news for botw2. not actual news about the game.
"The Kazuya reveal was anticlimactic"
Throwing people off cliffs is a Mishima family tradition. It fits perfectly with him and his game. You could say the same about the Ryu trailer but that opening shot was a reference to Street Fighter intros.
So much Arlo content in one day! Nintendo should do this every E3
i was extremely confused by the title until i realized it was about metroid. well played.
I'm sure Nintendo will do botw 2 right. All I want to know about it now is the name, and what's up with Ganondorf. just more insight on him and how he managed to rip like half of the main world from the 1st game and put it in the sky
Yeah, I think I was a little underwhelmed by the botw2 trailer, and getting a little more detail (or a title) would have satiated me.
I would not be surprised if the name is just "botw 2" tbh... also, Id rather see the Ganon(dorf) explaination in game, not spoiled beforehand
yeah an explanation on how he made skyloft 2.0 would be nice
Kazuya in Smash was actually the announcement that got me most excited. This was a phenomenal direct.
Did you just say Tekken dosent have the reach of banjo? 😐 most Tekken games outsell the entire banjo franchise per game
Right? I was cracking up when he said that. Arlo's normally on point, but that comment was so hilariously off and tone-deaf.
We all know the units sold isn't what creates hype for a smash reveal.
@@peronkop We all also know that "hype" is completely subjective. What's "hype" for one crowd is disappointing or just "okay" for another.
Dang I was hoping to hear your thoughts on SMT V
In the live reaction Arlo said that he didn't know much about the games and he's never played one so I'm not surprised he didn't have anything to say. Hopefully he plays it when it comes out because it's a great franchise.
You guys see the box art?
Hooooly shit
Chad smtv vs virgin pokemon sword and shield
@Aaron McCombe i mean he makes it his business to talk about these things, he could of at least had the decency to talk briefly on ONE OF NINTENDO’s LITERAL HEADLINES in the Direct to be quite honest
these nintendo-tubers sometimes smh 🤦
a bit disappointed that there wasnt more zelda considering its the anniversary (i need a ww/tp double pack) but honestly it was pretty ok
Same I was hoping for a collection
@Carter Steidley 2026 :,)

Let's make it 4
Weeeeellllllll, Skyward Sword HD kind of put the final nail in that coffin. Nintendo wouldn't want to cannibalize their own sales.
@Krish Shah sorry im a majoras mask kinda girl 😳
Yes Arlo my dear blue gumdrop, throwing someone off a cliff is a very iconic canonical thing with Heihachi/Kazuya in Tekken lol and I assure you every Tekken fan went crazy for that 😛 I’m so HYPE! Also Arlo is just spoiling us with this content ☺️
shin megami tensi was the absolute highlight for me, it made me incredibly happy to see how good it looks.
I’m happy for those who got what they wanted by I’m honestly absolutely gutted that they didn’t do anything substantial for zeldas 35. I just wanted twilight princess on switch man :(
I feel this feel. I was a little surprised how casually it was mentioned in the video.
They really did Zelda's anniversary dirty and it's heartbreaking.
Indeed... 💔
Same, Zelda is my favourite franchise and I have no interest in the game and watch, so all there really is other than that is skyward sword HD

You see, this is a very funny pun. He said "dreading" because a part of the game's title is "Dread". He said he wasnt "dreading" the release of a new "Metroid", and this is the best part, because both "Dread", and "Metroid" are in the title. 10/10 joke, your pfp represents perfectly my reaction to this comment, hope you follow your dreams and become a comedian

"Did you hear about the new Wario game?"
Wario? Where?
"Yeah. It's Warioware."
Oh... okay...
Yea at first I was "YES MORE WARIO!.....oh just warioware....I just want a new Wario World game...."
3:32 So to clarify, what's significant here is that Mario Party Top 100 didn't really have boards. It had one generic board with very underwhelming gameplay, and other than that it was *just* minigames. Mario Party Superstars actually having classic boards in addition to new minigames is a lot more substantial in comparison. Hope that clears things up :)
I looked up Kazuya and immediately learned why the cliff was used for the reveal, it’s literally a reference to his story. I just think in your position you should really look into these sort of things. Especially if you want to go the game journalist route.
A couple things I really wanted to see like Odyssey 2 and Mario Kart 9 as well as that rumored donkey kong game didn't happen unfortunately, but I can't get mad at a new smash reveal (even though I don't know the character or play tekken), new warioware, metroid and Mario party games plus a botw 2 update. Solid overall. The one thing I will say though is that it felt a little bit underwhelming for an e3 direct in the sense that it lacked the big hitter that gets everyone hyped. Like the last one had Banjos smash reveal and the BOTW 2 reveal. Games like the new metroid are really cool but not huge games and it was inevitable that we'd be getting BOTW 2 news at some point. Not saying that it was bad by any means, just saying that in that regard I can see how some people are disappointed
I agree with you so much I felt they focused too much on games that weren’t that big. They could’ve revealed lots of these games in a normal direct. I also felt they spent way too much time explaining old games.
A lot people aren't disappointed. Arlo, for one.
I personally wanted a peek at the Kirby game that HAL was hyping up. Hopefully that means they're making sure that this is the best Kirby game they can make.
Other than that, Direct was hype.
@@reev9759 well yes not everyone will be disappointed we’re all different. I just felt there was something missing Idk.
@@tastethepainbow I’d love a new Kirby game I’m sure they’re pushing the envelope with it and are taking they’re time.
This was the best Direct in a loooooong time. After an underwhelming E3 this really satisfied.
I don’t see how this was underwhelming when we got Forza, Halo, Elden Ring, etc
Best of a bad bunch.
I heard Microsoft's was pretty good, and I honestly really liked Razer's lol. The guy at that show as super enthusiastic and it made a otherwise standard or even boring presentation pretty entertaining imo
Microsoft killed it. They had a lot of great announcements, with most of them coming to Game Pass. Especially great if you like RPGs. I don't care for nostalgia stuff, so I thought the Nintendo Direct was a waste of time, except Metroid 5 and BotW 2.
Microsoft did better than Nintendo In my opinion.
Personally I love the toy style with Links Awakening and Advance Wars, it fits the aesthetic of all the original games with adding a ton of cute charm on top of it. I like toys, what can I say lol
I think the toy aesthetic will definitely make that one BHR mission sting all the harder too: Toy Box.
Tekken was brought up a bunch before Ultimate came out, especially people predicting Heihachi. He was a Mii Costume in Smash 4, and Tekken is made by Bandai Namco. A lot of the speculation went down because Heihachi was once again made a Mii Costume during the Minmin reveal trailer. Up until this reveal, every single new franchise's Mii Costumes were revealed with the character from that franchise, never before.
Edit: Forgot to mention that Sakurai himself said that Heihachi was considered for Smash 4.
I feel like Arlo is overestimating the popularity of the games he loves. Like a Metroid is cool and all but the entire series as a whole has only moved 17 million copies. Compare that to like Tekken which has sold 50 million copies or Mario Party in which Super Mario Party moved 14 million units ALONE. It's not that I'm saying a new HD Metroid isn't a big deal it is, and part of it's lack of sales is due to Nintendo's lack of pushing the series. Just felt like a bit of bias from Alro's part but other then that a great vid.
Yeah, Arlo is incredibly bias and it really is funny hearing him saying outrageously wrong thing like "Banko Koozie has a bigger reach than Tekken" That's some clown shit right there
Fatal Frame has me hyped! I've always wanted to play Fatal Frame but never had the chance to. I hope it's great and I will greatly enjoy the opportunity to play it.
Buy Metroid Dread people. Metroid needs another comeback! This should be a multi million selling but Samus returns barely hit 500k.
Samus Returns also released on the 3ds the year the Switch came out. I fully believe if it had been a Switch title it would have crossed a million at least
The thing about Returns for me was that it was a remake if Metroid 2. I didn't like the premise of hunting down Metroids and that's it. I did play AM2R and it wasn't as jarring as I thought it'd be but I know I wouldn't have enjoyed it if I had to pay money for it and play on the 3DS.
Dread though? 100% buying it.
I’m buying day one! 🙋♂️
@@RaffoPhantom you missed out on a great game
with the $60 price tag expect another METROID with lackluster sales...
I was already expecting botw 2
But OMG, I’m still surprised with Metroid Dread!
In my opinion, Metroid Dread was the one announcement that elevated this direct from "pretty good" to NEAR PERFECTION.
It came out of left field man. Nobody was expecting it. I’m buying it day one
Yay for Arlocast! I watch your videos as podcasts anyway so having a Spotify option to listen to is great!
Arlo. Tekken 7 outsold Twilight Princess.
I read on twitter that Nintendo fans live in this bubble where we don't realize just how large other franchises are and I think it's right. Like I had no idea how big Tekken was until I looked into it.
Yeah, Nintendo Only's really need to play other platforms. It's really hysterical seeing them saying wrong shit with confidence due to Bubble Bias
Glad to see you excited man! Keep up the good content !!
I think I’m most excited for the Mario party thing, seems perfect !
I know! FINALLY another good Mario party game, it only took them 14 years
In my opinion, I liked that they announced Metroid Dread before the trailer mostly because it took me a few seconds to process.
My brain was too used to hearing at as a joke. I was like "Yeah haha. Piss-oooooooooo my goodness"
I was expecting another federation force situation or that they just gonna say that samus suit and Canon are now available for MH rise since that was a thing since MH 4. When the metroid 5 poped up i was just speechless, took me a while to realize what just happened.
Kazuya has way more reach than Banjo Kazooie because Tekken has sold a lot more copies than all 3 Banjo games combined which isn’t even close in comparison and he’s been well known since 1995 when the Tekken franchise started. Do your research!
Yeah I know it was a little weird to say but i think he meant in the way of popularity for Nintendo fans as well as being less hugely surprising and out of nowhere where people are slipping their shit with Steve or Cloud etc, the Tekken rep is important but I guess it just seems to be more predictable and makes sense more because of it being such a major fighting game series.
you got a podcast now? that's so cool, I don't have enough of your content here some weeks, glad to know

1:47 'He's not gonna have a massive reach like banjo'
Tekken has had seven games, a handful of spinoffs, predates Smash Bros, and has a pro scene that the devs actually cares about. You're entitled to not like the character but how does a character from a series as HUGE as Tekken have 'no reach?'. Kazuya/Tekken reps have been the air ever since Smash started to be developed by Namco Bandai, it was a matter of time. He's not just 'karate punch guy' he has like thirty fucking moves that they're somehow squeezing into a game with three attack buttons.
You're right that Banjo is a character that a lot of people really wanted and its a pipe dream come true that hes in smash after all this time, as is most of the DLC characters like Joker, Sephiroth, Terry and Steve, most of which not a lot of people ever dreamed of being in. Kazuya absolutely makes sense and is just as much of a big deal as any of the new additions, especially a character thats had three games and one of which was good lmao
Exactly i feel like some mfs just don't realize how HUGE Kazuya and Tekken is for a LOT of people
Personally, I'm not hung up on the idea of them presenting a trailer the right way. Nintendo directs are meant to be a means to show off a game and whether or not a game looks good matters more to me that whether or not the advertisement was done correctly. If I got the game I wanted, I'm not gonna nitpick.

Advance Wars, an old, neglected GameBoy property, is back. If Golden Sun were to return, it would be in the same boat. Their developer, Camelot, will be wide open in a few days when Mario Golf releases. They've also already finished Mario Tennis, so the essential, every-generation Mario Sports games are done. We are in the 2nd half of the Switch's lifespan, where most major franchises have 1-2 new games, and the time has come to experiment with B-series and new IPs. The Switch is super successful, with a huge installbase known for giving less popular series their new best-selling entry. Now is the opportune time for Golden Sun.
Camelot is a veteran enough studio that I'm certain they're already working on their next project already and have been for at least a year. Re-Boot Camp had to have been in development for quite a while so if Camelot really is working on a Golden Sun 1/2 pack like WayForward is with Advance Wars we could see it by the end of next year.
Hey man. I've been playing Nintendo games since 1987, when I was a kid, and I didn't even play any Metroid until 2010 when I picked up the Metroid Prime Trilogy - and got addicted. The base can grow. I will buy that, and anything else that they make of Metroid, and I'm playing Samus Returns on my 3DS as I speak.
I picked up Metroid with Metroid 3 (Super Metroid) and have obviously played everything since (and prior). I didn't love Samus Returns as much as most people, so I'm a little apprehensive about Dread playing similarly, but that isn't gunna stop me from getting a game which is a proper follow-up to Fusion. More than anything I wanna know what happened to her suit post-X!
I am still happy Samus Returns exists though, because now I can play Zero Mission > Returns > Super > Fusion > Dread and not feel like I'm missing anything =D
Like Arlo said, Kazuya's reveal didn't have that much buildup, which left me feeling eh. He himself looks cool, though.
Tier-A content Bruv. Perfect example of quality content that makes TH-cam as awesome as it is. Cheers Mate
Man if i saw this title yesterday i would have taken this a completely different way
The Kazuya announcement is a huge deal. That's a massive franchise we have there, surely bigger in terms of sales and popularity than most of the DLC characters we got so far, including Banjo, Joker and Min Min. I think Arlo is just not appreciating the announcement, the modality, the vulcano joke and the way the character is built because he's clearly not a fan of the series (during the live reaction he wasn't even sure he's from Tekken, and he's the literal face of Tekken).
💯
