Nintendo Is Sitting on a Golden Opportunity 

Here's that video I mentioned about Nintendo and legacy content in case you haven't seen it yet. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PE3rGiEQ8GE.html

Arlo: Nintendo is missing an opportunity. “Do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?”

It's official. Raycon will soon rise to dethrone Raid: Shadow Legends as the dominant ad.

Nintendo: There will be significantly less releases this year Us: So how are you going to fill that gap? Perhaps with legacy content? Nintendo: What

Raycons: "let's make arlo our spokesperson" Arlo: *has no ears*

I love Arlo’s addition of random noises and phrases during his opening. “Gonna mow the lawn” made burst out laughing

8:05 "even if they don't think they're going to tank again..." Kane: Shows mario using a tank. You're really thinking about every word aren't you? also have a great chicken, beef, provolone, sandwich or whatever.

"Late-stage capitalism" isn't a term I ever expected to hear Arlo say.

"Tell nobody I live like this" "Fish."

Video: Nintendo is missing out on an opportunity Thumbnail: shows burger Nintendo should become a fast food franchise

Raycon: "Hey, you wanna advertise our fancy new earbuds?!" Arlo, looking at his earless muppet face in a mirror: "Uh...do you WANT me to...?"

In short: Nintendo has money, but it could have more money if they got their head out their butt.

We must resurrect those whom we've lost Kid Icarus Metroid (kinda) Pikmin (kinda) *F - Zero* Star Fox Earthbound/Mother Golden Sun Wario Land Mario Strikers And many more.

“Is nintendo sitting on a golden opportunity?” Uhh....only every day. Which one specifically are you talking about?

Man I could go for a sandwich.

"They've made some really massive mistakes before" *shows trailer for Nintento Switch Online* Smooth, Alro. Very smooth indeed. XD EDIT: I'VE made some massive mistakes before. XD

I find myself having a hard time getting too optimistic when it comes to Nintendo releasing new installments to their smaller IPs. They seem to be going the route of milking their safest IPs more and more lately with only the very occasional risky venture. But I'd love to be genuinely surprised and see the likes of F-Zero, Mother, Pikmin, Star Fox, and Chibi Robo again.

13:33 HAL actually said the next game in the series is gonna be really ambitious, and there’s gonna be a sort of “new era” or something, so here’s hoping...

8:17 “Tell nobody I live like this” Arlo: “Too bad Kane. Too bad.”

"Not having some weird gimmick to hinge a new game in that series on" ...Yeah, let's not forget what happened to the Sonic Riders series or even Banjo & Kazooie, poor souls deserved better. Plus the sitting on IPs doing nothing or taking an eternity to work on them again reminds me of a certain company but I cant put a finger on it *_COUGH_*_ VALVE _*_COUGH_*

Hearing Arlo say "late stage capitalism" isn’t something I was expecting today.

Nintendo: "What could we possibly do with a new F-Zero?" F-Zero: *Has never had online multiplayer and has a great track editor that's locked to the N64DD*

I played the video at 2x speed so Arlo could get his sandwich faster.

Arlo’s Mouth: “Marketing. Games” Arlo’s Brain: *mmm, sandwich*

Got emotional when you showed footage of Wario Land 4. It's literally my favourite game of all time. If you reading this haven't had the sheer pleasure of playing it, please do! It's 12 freaking years since Wario Land Shake Dimension came out, and I'm still waiting for a new installment lol

Arlo Facts: Arlo is 30ish years old. Arlo has "ears" to use wireless headphones. Arlo is blue.

With Nintendo’s IPs it reminds me a lot of that scene from The Incredibles when he’s looking up to see if any of the Super heroes are still alive.

Nintendo should be using Smash as a marketing/hype machine. Add characters from Golden Sun/FZero/Advanced Wars --> Announce new installment. It worked for Fire Emblem

I want to play The Original Paper Mario because of Arlo

I NEED A NEW KID ICARUS WITH THE STYLE OF UPRYSING :,0

A “golden opportunity” you say? As in....Golden Sun? Nah but for real I hope nintendo brings back golden sun.

I'd love to see them give some of these less popular IPs a real try. I've often looked a the Smash Bros rosters and imagined "What if every franchise represented here was executed to the level of a Mario or Zelda?" There's so much untapped potential. It's really a self-perpetuating cycle when Nintendo sees certain IPs as less valuable, invests less in them, makes less impressive games than the ones they make for their flagship series, sees that they sell less, then use that as evidence that the IP itself lacks value and potential.

6:59 "Even in the case of extremely old properties with no recent releases" I mean, look at what happened with Fossil Fighters and the Jaidenanimations video back in January. The interest in FF skyrocketed.

"Tell nobody I live like this" "Fish" Top ten anime reveals

Honestly a really good thing they could do that will make everyone happy is *RELEASE ALL PAST POKEMON GAMES ON THE SWITCH STORE!*

They should give us a new Wario Land where you can play Co-op with Waluigi, this would also give Waluigi a better chance to get into Smash

F-Zero alone would be amazing on Switch. Don't give me the whole "we can't think of any new ways to improve it" schlock, Nintendo.

"...and big guys becoming even bigger guys!" Arlo says as Mario goes from a T-Rex to a 3’8” plumber.

The gamecube was my darling. I grew up with it, and I felt like I lost a part of my soul when I had to throw my original one that I bought on launch day out. I would 100% sell my gamecube and rebuy my entire game library if they released everything on switch. Handheld mode is that big of a game changer for me.

It's kinda sad how a good chunk of these slept-on IPs have reps in smash bros, and if they didn't, those games would be far, *far* more obscure

everyone thinks "the switch is half way through its life..." I think this system could easily go 10 years even if the hardware gets dated. The second Switch will probably be more of a mid cycle refresh.

15:02 This is the reason for Pokémon’s diminishing quality compared to the rest of the industry, this right here

"The best time to release a new Golden Sun is right now" PREACH

I’ve made this argument before but a factor that isn’t being considered is bandwidth. They only have so many developers, and so much time. They need to deliver 2-3 big hits a year in order to ensure that their console’s install base grows at a good rate (unlike the Wii U). They could counteract that problem by purchasing more developers/create new teams within their developers/or collaborate with a 3rd party. Untested relationships are a risk and could end in the failed development of a game (metroid prime 4’s start for example). So they have to get their console to a healthy level with the production of dependable sellers. Only now can they make that gamble of producing neglected IP which means that development for these games won’t be complete until the end of their current generation’s life cycle. That also puts those games on a dying console like the case of Metroid: Samus Returns. So maybe we’ll get those titles when we start hearing about Switch 2. Which is disappointing but it’s a function of an industry that need 3-4 years to deliver a product and life cycles of consoles are typically 5-8 years.

I've said it somewhere else: I really think they should just "give the Paper Mario Franchise" to a different character if they really want to make something different out of it. I keep suggesting making it a Captain Toad spin-off. Maybe it will result in an exciting new franchise. It feels like keeping the "Paper Mario" name has become some kind of misguided crutch at this point...

We need to get Arlo a sandwich. He doesn’t have one and he NEEDS one

Arlo: *is getting a sandwich* *Everyone liked that*

I love how Kane times game clips with Arlo’s words so often. It’s very satisfying to watch.

It hurts seeing Wario in general being a dead franchise. I grew up with Wario Land, and Wario Ware was great as well (for the most part) If Nintendo abandoned the Wario games because Game and Wario and Wario Ware Gold flopped I wouldn’t know what to say. Those games didn’t flop because of the franchise but because of what they were and what systems they were on.

"Those chibi robo fans deserve a chance!" Hey Arlo, Scott here...

Captain Falcon is a well known meme at this point, so I’m sure a new F-Zero would sell just because he’s in it.

Alternate title: Nintendo is Sitting on a Sandwich

Arlo, I want to just say that I really enjoy these videos. I can't begin to say how nice it is to wake up in the morning and see one of your videos on my homepage. It really does make the days in lockdown better. Thanks so much, Arlo & Kane

Nintendo would make tons of money if they look into remaking Wario’s Greatest achievement Wario Land 4. Or making a the Ultimate Classic System of the Virtual Boy. Do you think they will remember Wario Land? If they do then that would be Incredible Incredible.

10:09 can we get an f in the chat for the poor editor? He has to listen to Arlo ramble about and hype up masterpiece games for a console that their not on.

A new Golden Sun on the Switch would be so amazing! I love the F-Zero games too.

Series Nintendo hasn’t represented on switch yet: Pikmin Star Fox Kid Icarus Punch-Out!! Wario Ware Rhythm Heaven NES Remix Pilot Wings Earthbound F-Zero Golden Sun Chibi-Robo Battalion Wars Sin & Punishment Nintendo Land Wave Race 1080° Mario & Luigi Dr Mario Mario Golf Mario Sluggers Super Mario Strikers 2D Metroid Wario Land

I really want a new Chibi Robo game! Imagine giving it the Luigi’s Mansion treatment, a full modern HD entry! All the fun things they could do!

As soon as I read "Golden" I thought about Golden Sun, oooooh boy the feels. Hope it returns some day :'(

Golden... SUN? I’m a ravenous boy let me have this.

8:05 "and even if I don't think they're going to tank again" *shows gameplay with a tank*

A new Golden Sun, Kid Icarus & F-Zero would be amazing! 😭

I agree, there are so many good games that are just stuck in the past especially with their more neglected IPs

With my first console being the 3DS, and not getting a Wii U, I have not got to experience pikmin or metroid and really want to. Please Nintendo, release these as new titles on switch

Nintendo: Brings IP to Switch Nintendo: "Tiny Dude is Big Now"

Arlo: they've made some really big mistakes before * shows Nintendo switch online*

17:37 Ah yes, Shirtless Caddicarus for 3DS. That was my favorite game. This joke legit made my sides hurt.

I just want a new Kid Icarus :( I would even take a remaster of Uprising.

I found one of Kane’s secret Easter eggs, at 4:05 when arlo says bursts out of the gate Mario bursts out of the manhole Edit: also at 8:06 when arlo says the word tank there’s a clip of Mario possessing a tank Since I saw Kane’s tweet about Easter eggs I can’t stop seeing them

Missed opportunity to see Arlo’s ears. Guess it’s still gonna be a mistery...

And they'll continue to sit on that opportunity until they die.

I feel like Nintendo could hand off F-zero, Star Fox and Punch out to just about any halfway decent developer and they would have a hit on their hands. I know Nintendo always claims those series don't have any fresh ideas but just let someone else do it use the established formula and strike while the iron is hot. This is far from a yearly release schedule.

Im waiting for the “super mario: Odyssey” of Donkey Kong games! Please nintendo 😩

"For all I know, Pikmin 4 is on the way!" Very funny, Arlo.

RU-vidrs: Make a video Raycon: My time has come

Real talk, whenever people show screencaps of Icarus oprising I get a little giddy, one on my absolute favorite games

nintendo is obsessed with the idea to do things differently than everyone else and also than they did before. but it was never their only and not even their biggest strength. their biggest success factor nowadays is that they care. they care about games. they care about gameplay. they do not make interactive films, they dont make games that make you say "woah this would be an amazing movie". so in my opinion, they need to get rid of that miyamoto type philosophy that you only should make a new game in a series, if you can revolutionize said series. thats not what players want. players always want a mix of familiar fundamentals and then new features or sometimes even just a new story to play through. add one or two aspects, dont reinvent the wheel.

I feel like Nintendo needs to port over all the old Zelda titles. I've never played Wind Waker, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or a plethora of other titles I think I would enjoy because they're all on dead consoles I don't own. And believe me, I've tried to get them. This goes for other game series as well. Really, this whole video just sums up my thoughts exactly.

The editing jokes are 11/10 thank you for the laughs.

your puppet acting skills are really natural looking and nuanced and amazing. thank you for this video and all the hard work you put into your channel! keep up the great work!

That "Angrily explaining to a friend with a mouth half-full of sandwich" analogy was just...superb....

**sees thumbnail** “Ah yes, my favourite Nintendo IP, McDonald’s.”

GIVE ME PIKMIN 4 NOW NINTENDO

I don't comment on Arlo videos despite having watched for 3 years, but honestly, this is one of the most concise, well-spoken videos with only one response: Arlo gets it. Everything was proverbially nailed right on the head. The second I heard "in a healthy business, it isn't worth achieving success now at the expense of success later..." I knew this was fantastic. Keep up the great work, my blue furry friend!

Using your Intro *Click* Animation as a To-Do List reminder is by far one of the funniest things I've seen on this channel.

Nintendo needs some more variety. The franchises placed on the priority have been the same 3, Mario , Zelda and Pokemon, maybe throw in smash bros in there. But Nintendo has great potential to attract new types of fans, like racing game fans, the only known racing game on Nintendo in general is mario kart, Nintendo could attract new fans and attention when they see the famous Captain Falcon outside of smash bros, it definitely applies to other genres/franchises

I always love the way you articulate yourself. You can take an otherwise mundane topic and make it really engaging to watch/listen to

The 3DS was my first games console I owned myself, and I pretty much used that as Pokémon machine, but when I got the switch, I got all types of games, it had my first mario game, first Zelda (which is now my favourite game), first animal crossing, first smash Bros, first animal crossing and the switch facilitated all that, it's bringing in people like me, which is a great thing. Now I wanna become a metroid fan, or a pikmin fan, hell i'd love to play F-zero, I'm open to more games because I've heard people who have played the old game, and now I'm kinda excited with them

I love that clip of your editor playing ACNH. “Tell nobody I live like this.”

6:25 didn't expect arlo to come in hot with the criticism of our economic structure but i'm here for it.

Is it just me or are Arlo's videos really good to fall asleep to? I love his smoothing voice and the way he paces his videos.

"Tell nobody I live like this" ... "fish"

Kid Icarus, please.... I would throw up from sheer happiness if they showed even an Uprising port. Or the best thing ever, an open world where you can fly using the power of flight. Arlo, I love this video, and please make a vid on Kid Icarus: Uprising! Like legit, I has so many ideas and concepts for Nintendo for a new Kid Icarus game. Characters, Gods, Enemies, Locations, Bosses, Weapons, Mechanics, Controls, etc.

**Sees Wario in Thumbnail** For years, I've been dreaming of this moment!

Of all pictures to use for a Caddicarus cameo... You picked the goddamn perfect one.

Anyone Knows the Name of The Song that starts playing at 10:27 ? I've heard multiple times and really like it but dont know where its from (is it DK? Animal Crossing?)

When will Arlo release a video covering Late-Stage Capitalism called "The Proletariats Are Sitting on a Golden Opportunity" ?

"You know when the best time to try bringing back Golden Sun is? Right stinkin' now!" Amen!

Arlo: *says Tank* Editor: *Put's in footage of Tank*

I love your analytical videos about overall trends and finances! It inspired me to look into it specifically within the Pokemon franchise; it's quite to see patterns and potentials...
