Nintendo Direct 2/8/23 Live Reaction and Commentary 

It's so good seeing arlo this happy as well

Nathaniel Bandy

striving for originality

oh hey, didn't see you there (if you get this reference I love you)

feel that soo much 🤣

Colourblind people in the audience: Oh...

me when red pikmin

The Chip's Challenge King on an Arlo video! What a timeline we're in 😂

We see 🥹 We do see 🥹🥹

See a red Pikmin: STEEEEVVVEEE!

Pikmin of Metroid: samus travels between planets to fight giant slugs

... and Paper Mario, for different reasons...

Same, it's because we love him 🥺

i think of how much i love pikmin then i think of arlo like "man i cant wait to see his reaction"

Me too 😂

So 20 play throughs then. Seen as you can finish it in 10bhours fairly easily.

@@Miyakans probably yeah

@@Miyakans seems like something arlo would do.

@@Miyakans No, 1 playthrough, 10 days straight. People have spent more time dissecting 5 frames from a zelda trailer, you're lying to yourself if you think a diehard fan can't squeeze out 10 days on a single playthrough. Put a Nintendo logo on a stone and these guys will manage to bleed it. The joke is that Arlo really loves Metroid, get it?

im trying to 100% it right now!

Going Toad mode for that one, and boy he earned it

It sounded like a poofesure scream for a moment 😂

The meme potential

Bro went full on toad lol

regular "OH MY GOD A PHAAANPY" energy

We are truly blessed to have such easy access to this ancient forgotten knowledge

for a second I thought it was a fire pikmin, glad the pikmin expert corrected me

ikr? I mean Ive played the third one and its DLC heaps, but i dont know much about the lore

I personally saw that Pikmin as maroon, glad that was addressed, thanks arlo

yeah and im pretty sure the words went through a translation error saying "red pikmin" when arlo said it was a "red pikmin" hope they fix that pre release

Sounds like toad screeeeeeaming

Sounds like Poofesure

The Metroid Dread announcement was definitely entertaining, there have been a few legendary Arlo reaction moments like that, but I gotta say, I think this one might be the best in terms of being funny.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one dying by that. 😂

when the cough starts I just get concerned for him

Arlo sounded like an eric andre bit, lmao

It's not a legit Direct without Arlo being sick at this point 😂

@@w1ndw4ker95 Fr😂😭I feel so bad but he always cracks me up one way or another

Direct: Shows metroid prime remastered Arlo: intense excitement Direct: releasing today Arlo: literally implodes

🤓 um, acshualley itsch figyurativly 🤓

Oh, mine was FULL.

Oh some people did see it coming They just kept claiming a new Prime remaster was coming for the past 5 years 💀

Knowing this fact made me like Doug Bowser far more than I did before. Which, to be fair, I knew nothing about him before.

@@godofthecripples1237 He's just like, the average executive guy in USA. Which is a darn shame, by namesake alone he was primed to be _the_ memeable guy, and yet they didn't even try to deliver except his introduction.

@@crazykim in his defence the guy he replaced was a meme GOD so I can see why they didn’t really bother trying to.

weird way to spell yolol

pikmin 3 on the switch is really great

ive you have a switch, check out the Pikmin 3 free demo

Less than 4 minutes in I'm already losing it at "IIIIIIIIICE PIKMIN"

To be fair, the series really isn’t for everyone. They are really well made games that have a ton of charm but there’s a reason they’ve never been major sellers.

😂😂😂

💀

That's terrifying

it was summoned

Real meme material

This is the perfect comparison lol

Watching his reaction to the Metroid Prime remaster is basically like the N64 Kid all over again.

It really is.

Literally happiness concentrated in its purest form

I wish I was that excited about something in life lol haven’t been since I was a kid really

I was going to skip right to his Metroid Prime Remaster reaction but waited for his Pikmin 4 one first after this comment lol

His reaction to the Metroid Prime remaster being dropped today is just as good, if not better!

And Vinny Vinesauce

lmao it was great

yeah he ate so well he's gonna need a nap!

I don't know why everyone started describing video games as food. Is it a societal lapse into hedonism thing? Or do you all have the vocabulary of a 7 year old and that is the best you can do?

I will call it metroid prime remake, cause the game its literal build from 0

🤓🤓

@@LimpRichard it's commonplace slang, grandpa. (And not just for videogames - any group defined by a common interest receiving the thing they like in better-than-usual quality and/or high-than-usual quantity is described as "eating good".)

You should definitely give Pikmin another chance.

222th Like, I agree

But there were so many types of farming in the farming direct.

I'd say the most prevalent theme was detective games, with (I think) four of them.

@@corb805 That’s true.

Strangely I was more shocked and excited for this Pikmin trailer than he seemed to be, and Pikmin isn't even my favourite franchise.. idk this trailer just really hit me like it's gonna be a huge new step for Pikmin.

PIKMIIIIIN

@@cookiesontoast9981 if he wasn’t sick he would’ve had a bigger reaction 😊

Same once I saw metroid prime my first thought was about how happy Arlo's gonna be!

I somehow missed who those characters were while watching it live and I almost had a existential crisis when I saw it in this video xD

I've never touched Xenoblade and even I was like "Damn Xenoblade fans must be shitting their pants rn."

@@sagehanson190 To be fair it was heavily implied in the third game that the DLC will most likely be what you saw in the teaser, anybody who played through the game expected it while the people who have yet to play the game had a massive spoiler dropped on them.

@@sagehanson190 I dont know how you even understand whats going on in those, I can never tell

@@varkster6860 It's like anime openings my dude, blatantly spoilery if you know what's going on, and just random imagery if you don't. Tbh, it's the most spoilery for someone like me, someone who played through 80% of XB1, half of 2 and like a third of 3.

Made me wanna cry bro such nostalgia

I screamed just as loud as you did for Layton, exept for Fantasy Life. We've won, my friend.

Same. I was not expecting it at all and that made it even better!

I audibly gasped. I thought that series died with the Lady Layton game.

@@Nathan-du3js I feel you. that along with fantasy life. I totally thought that level 5 was completely done for...

Agreed

It's a 40 minute video. Did you watch it on 15x speed??

@@charlieblanchard5644 No, but the first two minutes solidified it. His reactions are priceless when it comes to Pikmin.

we love seeing Arlo so happy, hyped and excited

I literally waited to watch the direct with Arlo haha

That’s absolutely genius

All of em are great! 3 was way better thanbI expected, too!

Do it.

you should! They’re so good!

@@themc3140 That's fixed in the Wii version, bridge death isn't though...

I'm here to grant you amnesty to skip the first if you want.

Couldn't help but smile at the random shouts of "ARLO!!" in the live chat on RU-vid during the Pikmin trailer

Same here!!@

Same

I agree and would like to add, 23:18

These 3 are him top 3 franchises? 🤔

My exact reaction as well 😂

We need something to wash our mouths after Forsaken. Desperately

Fr. Bit of a jrpg enthusiast myself, but even so, there were so many titles recently that just look bland as hell.

Impressively, still a great Direct for jrpg fans too

Shockingly positive this is why I love Arlo

remastered is a good omen, they're building the hype

He was looking forward to seeing a remaster or remake of some sort

Itll be a launch title for Switch 2 😄

Tbf getting the remasters in would be a REALLY good lead up to making 4 happen

You should really try it!

YASSS

That's straight up never happening

I truly hope so

basically 3 level 5 games all at once. Still wishing for a new dark cloud game but its obvious fantasy life just took the main idea of dark cloud 2 :D

I can honestly say that I was not expecting that voice from a withered and mummified corpse; I guess I was expecting something somehow both deeper and raspier, if that makes sense.

@@matthewmuir8884 I don't think it's Ganon personally. I think it's likely that he's a Ghirahim-like character.

@@matthewmuir8884 I don’t think he’s going to stay mummified for long.

@@elijahscott5561 The voice being a second-in-command and not mummy-Ganondorf would make a lot of sense. Perhaps it's the new Master Kohga (Creating a Champion confirmed that the name Kohga is given to every new leader of the Yiga Clan)?

@@chris_wizzudz Hm... maybe. If that's the case, then I hope we get at least one fight against the mummified version of Ganondorf before he rehydrates. I remember being a bit disappointed that we never got a fight against the giant flying boar head version of Calamity Ganon in Breath of the Wild. When I saw that version of Ganon, I imagined a paraglider fight kind-of like what the corrupted-Naydra fight was like but on a much bigger scale; that could've been really cool.

You are a god

ICEEEEEEE PIKMIN 3:29

35:57 for MP:R shadow drop

Same!!
