Lmao I feel you but that's an understandable reaction. The games are pretty enough even if not graphically the most demanding, not like they need to be.
Dread was good, but it's just a 2d Metroid. And Zelda was really underwhelming after 2 years. The first teaser was better. Not a shit direct, but definitely have low expectations if you thought it was darn good
@@wsemenske You gotta give them time. Unlike other companies, Nintendo makes a lot of their big games for their presentations. It’s just a lot to deal with.
@@wsemenske I personally think there wasn't much better they could do (except some Splatoon info). It wasnt the absolute best, but most people had something to look forward to, so I'm absolutely satisfied.
@@wsemenske "it's just a 2d metroid" i'm sorry what lmao? I don't think u understand the g r a v i t y of this situation. Tho everything else I can agree with.
@@wsemenske "Just a 2D Metroid" 😭 2D Metroid invented the entire Metroidvania genre, paving the way for Hollow Knight and Ori, and a new 2D Metroid hasn't been made since 2002. This isn't one of those genres where going from 2D to 3D is inherently better. Metroid Prime is fantastic but the progressive exploration in 2D Metroid is the real deal and incomparable. This isn't just padding until Prime 4 comes out, this *is* mainline Metroid. Not to mention, it's Dread, a game that's been in development hell since 2005 and is something of a legend.
I watched the direct and I couldnt even fathom the reaction Arlo was gonna have for Metroid Dread, and honestly I was stoked like I've never been before
Arlo screaming like a wild ape during the Metroid Dread trailer, and then coughing/clearing his throat throughout the rest of the direct is absolutely hilarious, and as a huge Metroid fan I relate to it 100%
Seeing Arlo's reaction to Dread the second time around was somehow even more satisfying. I'm so glad to have somebody sharing in my excitement about it!!
mark my words, I think the reason they haven’t revealed the title for BOTW2 is because it’s in of itself a spoiler, something involving sky/underworld with underground dungeons and playable zelda
Sounded like they just weren't ready to show a lot of it yet, but a lot of the map was already done, so they focused on that. Have to wait a while longer for more.
@@theoaremevano3227 the graphics look pretty rough if you keep your eye in one spot too long lol i’m sure they’ll make it look great by the end, though.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 think about how they don’t reveal certain features until the game is about to release (botw shiekah slate, acnh island editing) it’s a way of maintaining hype and keeping surprises all the way up until release
@@spoon7053 : I'm always skeptical of how games look online though since the actual consoles are at a point where some video services just can't fully keep up with them.
Very happy for Arlo. I’ll definitely get the game myself since I’ve never played a Metroid game before, but Arlo’s passion for the series has made me want to check them out
5. Metroid Dread 4. Metroid Dread 3. Metroid Dread 2. Metroid Dread 1. Arlo's reaction to Metroid Dread (Im joking, everything else at that direct was great too)
Top things I'm happy for from the whole of E3 and SGF: 5: ...... 4: ...... 3: .... Slime Rancher 2 looks... Kind of cool I guess 🤷🏻♂️.. But I've hardly even played the first... 2: Halo Infinite looks like a return to form for the series, I'll play that... But still not all that excited.. 🤷🏻♂️ 1: ......... 🤷🏻♂️ It was quite underwhelming for me personally, as you can see. I mainly just wanted Spyro 4 and Pikmin 4. And a new Chibi Robo would be amazing but that's never happening.
I wasn't so excited for Metroid: Dread, but man that was awesome seeing Arlo get that excited. You even heard his voice change lol. That was awesome and wholesome
I love seeing Metroid announcements just for Arlo's reactions!! 😁 It's just pure childlike glee and it's amazing. Congrats, buddy! I hope you enjoy the game!! 😄
The notification for this came across my phone about 15 minutes ago, but I had to wait because I had to watch his absolutely precious reaction to Metroid 5 more times.
I've been looking forward to this reaction!! When I saw the Metroid announcement, literally my first thought was 'Arlo's gonna be so pleased' - and it was great to hear that you were happy!
I'm so happy Super Monkey Ball is getting a collection, I loved the ganes when I was younger. Arlos scream at the metroid 5 announcement also blew my head off since I was wearing headphones. I'm glad hes happy though
Watching Arlo’s reaction to Metroid was so touching. I’m so happy for Metroid fans!!! Maybe this would be a good time for me to finally get into the series :’)
If you have a Switch and are subscribed to the Switch Online service then you already have one of the best games ever made at your fingertips: Super Metroid is ready for you in the SNES NSO App. Please give that masterpiece a chance.
Yeah, super's real good. I don't have NSO, so I grabbed it on my old New 3DS after Dread was announced. Much better entry point than the og NES game (at least for me, I tried it a few times a couple years ago and it hasn't aged particularly well) , though maybe the gba remake (zero mission) is better?
@@CarbonMage the old OG Metroid 1 is an absolutely terrible entry point nowadays. I would never recommend that game for an uninitiated unless they’ve experienced at least Super Metroid and it’s remake Zero Mission first, already love the franchise and want to look how it all began as a curiosity. Under no circumstance anyone should experience that game as their very first Metroid game. Do give Zero Mission a go! IMO it’s even better than the already great Super Metroid!
We all thought the rumored Metroid Dread would never happen but now Nintendo surprised us all with a revival of the project 15 years later! I 100% have to buy the Special Edition!
@@trainmaster997 Yep. I was 7 when Fusion came out and now I'm 26 when the sequel comes out so I've been waiting for this game pretty much my entire life.
Only played the original NES Metroid and Metroid Prime 1.. And I never completed either of them although I do want to get back to the original Metroid and properly complete it one day. But yeah this new one looks really cool.
14:25 - has the same energy as that youtube video where animals talk, a guy tells his dog about the bacon he's making and the dog goes "Yeah..yeah!.." with every word. Also bless your soul I wasn't the only one who legitimately cried over Metroid.
@@smart_0783 I don’t think that’s necessary true. Nintendo BANKS on nostalgia. They don’t always do the best job of it, but that’s what they do. They’ve had a profound impact on culture, and they acknowledge that. I don’t think they would let such a huge opportunity as the 35th Anniversary of Zelda pass without taking advantage of it. Especially when it would be SO easy to slap WWHD and TPHD on a Switch cart.
@@johnpbulger7893 Oh, yeah. I thought that was odd…ports are so easy for such a huge company. Why won’t they just slap the previous HD remakes on a switch cart and call it a day, I wonder?

SAME MAN IM SOO HYPED LETSSS GOOOO!
I was really excited for kazuya as a tekken fan, he threw his father in a volcano so that’s why the Ganon thing was there
Oh, nice!
Oh okey! Thanks buddy
Hearing Arlo freak out over Metroid 5 was the serotonin boost I needed today.
When Arlo says “really” I just think of this emoji “🥺”
We're all here to see Arlo freak out at Metorid Dread's announcement right?
Yes
He he released that video on it's own
@@doombat04 I realized that after I made this comment
Among other things, yeah.
Yes, I wanted to see his freak-out again but in full context. :D
14:47 This was the time a quite young man cracked. he has not been the same since
That was the most primal scream I've ever heard.
Arlos reaction to Metroid dread made me tear up over how happy he is
Arlo: *Sees Danganronpa* “Is this a 3DS game?”
Me: *Pain*
Lmao I feel you but that's an understandable reaction. The games are pretty enough even if not graphically the most demanding, not like they need to be.
Sammeeee
Ultimate Pain
I mean, the 3DS and PSP looked about the same.
Holy crap Arlo is based
37:17 THAT SQUEAK
Arlo's squeak as he thought and then got disappointed lol
Your reaction to Metroid Dread put a huge smile on my face
“Oh thank you for doing Just Dance next, I needed a break after that.” I love how it has become a recovery time after a big reveal!
SMT V finally looks like a true sequel to Nocturne. Couldn't be happier. 😭
🛐our prayers have been rewarded
Generic anime game
It even uses Press Turn! Although 4 has a version of it, too.
SMT V looking amazing. Also Arlo's reaction to it was pretty funny
@@jayandjlps wow you can not be happy
This was a DARN good E3 presentation
Dread was good, but it's just a 2d Metroid.
And Zelda was really underwhelming after 2 years. The first teaser was better.
Not a shit direct, but definitely have low expectations if you thought it was darn good
@@wsemenske You gotta give them time. Unlike other companies, Nintendo makes a lot of their big games for their presentations. It’s just a lot to deal with.
@@wsemenske I personally think there wasn't much better they could do (except some Splatoon info). It wasnt the absolute best, but most people had something to look forward to, so I'm absolutely satisfied.
@@wsemenske "it's just a 2d metroid" i'm sorry what lmao? I don't think u understand the g r a v i t y of this situation. Tho everything else I can agree with.
@@wsemenske "Just a 2D Metroid" 😭 2D Metroid invented the entire Metroidvania genre, paving the way for Hollow Knight and Ori, and a new 2D Metroid hasn't been made since 2002. This isn't one of those genres where going from 2D to 3D is inherently better. Metroid Prime is fantastic but the progressive exploration in 2D Metroid is the real deal and incomparable. This isn't just padding until Prime 4 comes out, this *is* mainline Metroid. Not to mention, it's Dread, a game that's been in development hell since 2005 and is something of a legend.
I watched the direct and I couldnt even fathom the reaction Arlo was gonna have for Metroid Dread, and honestly I was stoked like I've never been before
The bit at the end of the Metroid trailer when Arlo goes "Im riding hiiiigh!!" xD
First thing I looked for was the Dread reaction, not disappointed 😂
Arlo that reaction to dread made me so happy. Congratulations!!!!
“I played a Tekken” why did this make me laugh so much
Nintendo: "We aren't planning anything else for Zelda's anniversary, stop asking"
key word..planning....in a few months they will announce WW/TP HD ported to Switch
@@MsSparklesNGlitter it means they aren't planning anything.
Arlo screaming like a wild ape during the Metroid Dread trailer, and then coughing/clearing his throat throughout the rest of the direct is absolutely hilarious, and as a huge Metroid fan I relate to it 100%
My entire body filled with love hearing Arlo react to the "Dread" coming in. This is why I'm watching reactions, I'm so happy for you!
Seeing Arlo's reaction to Dread the second time around was somehow even more satisfying.
I'm so glad to have somebody sharing in my excitement about it!!
your enthusiasm about metroid dread is EVERYTHING. it's giving me so much life right now.
Once Metroid Dread comes out I think Death and Arlo will have another talk...
Maybe he will finally find his Raycon everyday e25 earbuds?
Arlo:
Let me live long enough to play Metroid dread all the way through and make a TH-cam video about it”
Death: “I’ll allow it”
That Metroid Dread reaction was priceless
mark my words, I think the reason they haven’t revealed the title for BOTW2 is because it’s in of itself a spoiler, something involving sky/underworld with underground dungeons and playable zelda
...but if it was a spoiler then how do you get the game without being spoiled?
Sounded like they just weren't ready to show a lot of it yet, but a lot of the map was already done, so they focused on that. Have to wait a while longer for more.
@@theoaremevano3227 the graphics look pretty rough if you keep your eye in one spot too long lol
i’m sure they’ll make it look great by the end, though.
@@Buglin_Burger7878 think about how they don’t reveal certain features until the game is about to release (botw shiekah slate, acnh island editing) it’s a way of maintaining hype and keeping surprises all the way up until release
@@spoon7053 : I'm always skeptical of how games look online though since the actual consoles are at a point where some video services just can't fully keep up with them.
I really love how Wind Waker is still what you use for your generic pre-direct footage.
"but where's the persona 5?" SMT just doesn't get any love huh?
Yeah man made me unsubscribe from Arlon for that one, was a really cringe thing to say after dogging on my most anticipated game of all time.
@@phillemon7664 imagine unsubbing because he doesn't like a game that you like.
@@phillemon7664 that's honestly fucked up lmao, what a weird attitude to have.
@@phillemon7664 If you don't even know what his name is then I doubt he valued your subscription.
@@phillemon7664 Guys that was a joke
Very happy for Arlo. I’ll definitely get the game myself since I’ve never played a Metroid game before, but Arlo’s passion for the series has made me want to check them out
trust me, you wont regret it
Thank Hylia I'm not the only one who thought the Monkey Ball thing was DK.
Me too lol. I saw bananas and all my brain could think was “DoNkeY kOnG!!!!” 😆
Sameeeeee
I was thinking is this DK, then I see Monkey Ball and I rmbred they had working for a new game a while ago.
DK is the leader of the bunch
Same here
I burst out laughing when I saw monkey ball
@@boychinwonder you know him well

Top things I'm happy for from the whole of E3 and SGF:
5: ......
4: ......
3: .... Slime Rancher 2 looks... Kind of cool I guess 🤷🏻♂️.. But I've hardly even played the first...
2: Halo Infinite looks like a return to form for the series, I'll play that... But still not all that excited.. 🤷🏻♂️
1: ......... 🤷🏻♂️
It was quite underwhelming for me personally, as you can see.
I mainly just wanted Spyro 4 and Pikmin 4. And a new Chibi Robo would be amazing but that's never happening.
5- Monkey Ball/Mario Party
4- Mario Golf Super Rush
3- Metroid Dread
2- Breath of the Wild 2
1- Shin Megami Tensei V
Your Metroid reactions always make me smile
"Really? Really!? Why would you just tell me that, why wouldn't you just- whatever, REALLY!?" -Famous Last Words
I wasn't so excited for Metroid: Dread, but man that was awesome seeing Arlo get that excited. You even heard his voice change lol. That was awesome and wholesome
I love seeing Metroid announcements just for Arlo's reactions!! 😁 It's just pure childlike glee and it's amazing. Congrats, buddy! I hope you enjoy the game!! 😄
As someone who grew up playing super monkey ball 2 I am unbelievably excited for the remaster collection
It looks great! I’ve only played a bit of super monkey ball years ago, but I definitely want to check it out
never played it, but nick robinson and brain matt have hyped me up!
@@spoon7053 I see you are a person of culture as well
The notification for this came across my phone about 15 minutes ago, but I had to wait because I had to watch his absolutely precious reaction to Metroid 5 more times.
The time has come again. We are hear to see the blue puppet yell about video games again
We are here for it
I've been looking forward to this reaction!! When I saw the Metroid announcement, literally my first thought was 'Arlo's gonna be so pleased' - and it was great to hear that you were happy!
I'm so happy Super Monkey Ball is getting a collection, I loved the ganes when I was younger. Arlos scream at the metroid 5 announcement also blew my head off since I was wearing headphones. I'm glad hes happy though
Watching Arlo’s reaction to Metroid was so touching. I’m so happy for Metroid fans!!! Maybe this would be a good time for me to finally get into the series :’)
If you have a Switch and are subscribed to the Switch Online service then you already have one of the best games ever made at your fingertips: Super Metroid is ready for you in the SNES NSO App. Please give that masterpiece a chance.
Yeah, super's real good. I don't have NSO, so I grabbed it on my old New 3DS after Dread was announced. Much better entry point than the og NES game (at least for me, I tried it a few times a couple years ago and it hasn't aged particularly well) , though maybe the gba remake (zero mission) is better?
@@CarbonMage the old OG Metroid 1 is an absolutely terrible entry point nowadays. I would never recommend that game for an uninitiated unless they’ve experienced at least Super Metroid and it’s remake Zero Mission first, already love the franchise and want to look how it all began as a curiosity. Under no circumstance anyone should experience that game as their very first Metroid game.
Do give Zero Mission a go! IMO it’s even better than the already great Super Metroid!
Genuinely happy for you Arlo!
I just wish I could have felt that excitement this year
Hearing Arlo absolutely lose it over Metroid put the biggest smile on my face.
i am a casual metroid fan but i am so happy for you and other true
metroid fans. y'all deserve it
I love that Arlo loves Metroid as much as I do. That seems so rare among TH-cam personalities for some reason.
I knew you'd be happy it's not a remake, but boy, your reaction really made my day!
We all thought the rumored Metroid Dread would never happen but now Nintendo surprised us all with a revival of the project 15 years later! I 100% have to buy the Special Edition!
Special? I’n getting the collector’s edition if they make one.
Was it not 19 years?
@@amosbilodeau8003 rumored in 2005, so closer to 16. From what I know, Fusion came out 19 years ago.
@@trainmaster997 Yep. I was 7 when Fusion came out and now I'm 26 when the sequel comes out so I've been waiting for this game pretty much my entire life.
They already scalped them all out of Target and Gamestop
I’m not even a Metroid fan and I enjoyed the new layer of fear for the series! Very cool.
It's similar to fusion, but I can't wait to see how they handle it in this game.
Yeah, it seems very similar to fusion but with even more fear added.
Only played the original NES Metroid and Metroid Prime 1.. And I never completed either of them although I do want to get back to the original Metroid and properly complete it one day.
But yeah this new one looks really cool.
Arlo’s face in the thumbnail is everything.
I still go back to hear Arlo’s reaction to the Metroid Dread reveal. It gives me life.
Arlo respectively freaking out about Metroid
Seeing the Metroid reveal warmed the cockles of my heart because I knew how excited Arlo would be! ❤
Idk why but it's so wholesome seeing arlo so excited
14:25 - has the same energy as that youtube video where animals talk, a guy tells his dog about the bacon he's making and the dog goes "Yeah..yeah!.." with every word.
Also bless your soul I wasn't the only one who legitimately cried over Metroid.
Wow! The same day? Excellent!
I am genuinely surprised that Arlo isn't a big Super Monkey Ball fan! I thought he would have geeked out at that collection.
That pleading at the end of the BOTW2 trailer, I felt that on a spiritual level while I was watching the presentation live
That YEEEEESSSS when the Metroid release date was announced omg I'm so happy for you Arlo 😭
Breath of the wild 2 is so great! I’m sad there is going to be no Zelda anniversary collection though. But still a great direct
We don’t know that there won’t be one, cuz they still haven’t had an anniversary direct. Same for DK.
@@stanstanstan2597 We won’t get an anniversary direct, don’t you get it?
@@smart_0783 I don’t think that’s necessary true. Nintendo BANKS on nostalgia. They don’t always do the best job of it, but that’s what they do. They’ve had a profound impact on culture, and they acknowledge that. I don’t think they would let such a huge opportunity as the 35th Anniversary of Zelda pass without taking advantage of it. Especially when it would be SO easy to slap WWHD and TPHD on a Switch cart.
@@stanstanstan2597 they said in the direct that they had no plans for it
@@johnpbulger7893 Oh, yeah. I thought that was odd…ports are so easy for such a huge company. Why won’t they just slap the previous HD remakes on a switch cart and call it a day, I wonder?
BY FAR my favourite reaction of yours
Been waiting for this since the direct finished!
Knew Metroid Dread would be right done Arlo's alley, and came here just to see his happy little reaction. Was NOT disappointed!
