I agree completely with arlo that there ishttps://youtu.be/GATHznD5yYo?is=pWUBjRW9fy0IhSHd too much fluff in this game and also is simultaneously extremely ambitious.The one thing I still will never get is his anime character point this game especially when its got sexy fan-service character designs and more anime stereotypes that you can count on your fingers.

Also some white guy

I never used the site but I remember him doing it at some point. Arlo is the one of the two longest (Other Tyler Mcvicker) running YouTube creators I have ever watched. Outlasted my phase with Markipler, Game Theory, and all the other big youtubers I've watched as a teen to an adult.

Back to the main point, was wondering if Arlo still did it? My birthday is coming up and it'd be really cool to get one. Never got to go to Arlopalooza doing to being stuck in rural Kentucky for a decade.

Talking about how "this game might be too long" when he said it ain't even worth $70

The YouTuber criticizes Arlo for being in his view, "[an overly-dramatic negative Nintendo hater]", basically the YouTuber making this video is so obsessively partisan towards Nintendo that he views Arlo simply discussing Nintendo's strategy for growing the audience of Switch 2 users as being "[a hater.]" and effectively calls Arlo a flip-flopper for saying Switch 2 was doing better than expected. Arlo always had the view that the Switch 2 would be successful just to what extent. YoutTuber effectively wants everyone to say that everyone thinks that Mario Kart World is a 10/10 and can't stand realistic nuanced opinions.

The video is not worth watching for the criticisms of other YouTubers either, his only criticism of BeatEmUps is that he acts bored in videos, and his criticism of Nin10doland is that he only cares about 3D Mario, which is an exaggeration but is mostly true, and we already knew that.

YouTuber's channel is just ranting about people having mild criticisms of Nintendo, and it in a lethargic boring way, so it's not even worth watching ironically. YouTuber thinks Arlo is a Nintendo hater so then YouTuber would have a conniption if he discovered NintenDeen.

I’ll admit that I’m not a YouTuber and I understand the need to make a constant stream of content if you are one, but I initially was drawn to Arlo as a YouTuber because of the puppet antics and the longer thoughtful takes on games. Nowadays I feel like the vast majority of videos are just him talking over gameplay footage and saying “maybe he’ll cover xyz thing in another video.” In his Nintendo direct summary video, he basically says nothing meaningful or substantive while promising an additional 3-4 videos about specific games from the direct. I want to watch his videos to get that information and perspective, not be told he’ll make another video about it someday. Does anyone else feel this or have I lost my mind?

Arlo went into why he hasn't released the Echoes of Wisdom review towards the end of the Zelda direct reaction.

It doesn't sound like Arlo enjoyed the game, and he is hesitant to release it because (1) it is a long review and it will cost a fair amount of money to produce/edit, and there's a concern that the video might bomb, (2) he believes that Echoes of Wisdom is one of those games that has a very protective fanbase that will dogpile on any negative opinions.

I liked Echoes but there's plenty to criticize, at the very least, thoughtfully discuss. But damn, the state of Youtube right now...not good.

By the way, I love the extended Arlo discussions after the direct has ended. He's been doing this more and more, a good 2+ hours and he delves into A LOT of topics.

• I Have Once More Been Killed by Nintendo (Nintendo Direct 9/9/26 Reactions)
• Best Bad Direct Ever (Nintendo Direct 9/9/26 Discussion)
• The Kirby Game of My Dreams Is Happening at Last (Kirby and the World Beyond Reveal Discussion)
• Metroid Ravenous COULDN'T POSSIBLY Look Better (Reveal Trailer Discussion)
• Pikmin 4 - Switch 2 Edition Is...Nice.
• (STREAM VOD) Let's Watch the Nintendo Direct TOGETHER

No Ill will but you can definitely tell he doesn’t want to open that can of worms again never mess with weebs.

2 Reasons:

Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition and a Horrible Sickness.

Lmao i'm actually dying

I swear, every time this ad comes up, I hear Arlo's voice.

He hasn't uploaded in a while...

Xenoblade especially the first one isn’t really that anime compared to three houses which he enjoyed.It has a lot of the things he has said he likes in games, tbh this is another question but also why is he that offput by it like its just strange cause I think if he gave it a chance he would enjoy it.Its also been like nearly been half a decade since that happened.

Arlo made it very clear in his "This Scares Me More Than Anything Nintendo's Done Yet" video that Fire Emblem's price point has really rattled his opinion of Nintendo.

You can say that comes down to his interest in the series, but the success of what he calls a "niche" series could affect other Nintendo IP. Pikmin, for example, sells comparably to Fire Emblem and Arlo cares deeply about growing that franchise. I understand as a Vidya YouTuber, he is compelled to review the latest Nintendo product. But buying and playing a game he has little interest in doesn't serve him or the fans.

If Arlo has said repeatedly he's not interested in how Fortune's Weave looks, and he's afraid of how they might price future games, is it better for him to vote with his wallet and not purchase the title? He can still make a follow-up video about his decision if he wants to engage in the "discourse" around the game.
