Switch and Wii U: To Port or Not to Port? 

"How do you make SSB for Wii U for Switch?" * cough * * cough * Super Mario *64* DS

you predicted the tropical freeze port.

If they don't make a new Mario Maker or port the Wii U one, they're basically shooting themselves in the foot. It was a system seller for a lot of people, and would have drastically changed the life of the Wii U if it had released much earlier.

7:55 "I need slopes" Arlo predicted the future

Is it weird that I want to hug you? You are just so darn fluffy...

I can't really think of any other Wii U games I want ported over, but I would throw money at a Deluxe Version Of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2

3:51 Arlo: I'm not exactly sure what they would do with an inhanced tropical freeze Nintendo: NEW FUNKY MODE!

7:45 This has aged VERY well.

How about a legend of Zelda remake bundle with Wind Waker HD, Twilight princess HD, and maybe even a Skyward Sword HD? 2 old ports and a new LoZ remake alongside it would sell really well in my opinion, especially considering how many new Zelda fans there are thanks to Breath of the Wild.

Clickbait, Arlo didn't grow a mustache.

Honestly, Mario Maker Switch should come with an Tablet/Mobile tie-in app that allows for you to build the stages on a touch screen.

You literally predicted the future on the Mario Maker

I need a port of Mario Maker.

Call me crazy, but a remake of Wii Sports Resort would be really fun. They could add a ton of new games, re-do the visuals, and more! I'd even be fine if it was a totally new Nintendo Sports game. They could call it "Switch Sports Resort" or something. They could have new and returning games, and expand Wuhu Island as well!

I can just imagine the PTSD he must of gone through when talking about color splash

Hyrule warriors is EXTREMELY underrated, please give it a try

Port over Breath of the Wild from the Wii U

How Super mario maker 2 could work: -Analog stick to move hand across the screen. Button, maybe X or something to pull up a grid menu of all the assets, you select one with a and then the menu leaves and you can place the objects around using a; they're always stuck to the hand until you press the menu button again, it drops and then press it again to open the menu once more. -Shaking could be another button control, don't know what. Maybe the "d-pad" could cycle through, click the right button for next option, left for previous. -and up and down could act as a quick select, have two items selected and it auto equips them, or they could be a cycle through of all assets, going from left to right. -All other controls would be the same New "party mode" -You select a time limit, e.x. Five, ten, or 15 minutes to make a level, the number of level players, and perhaps a co-op or vs mode -The creator undocks it, and makes it in undocked, either with buttons or like it was on WiiU, maybe modified since there isn't a stylus. -Once the timer runs out, the maker tests the level to see if it's possible, and if it is, dock the switch. If Co-Op was chosen, everyone gets a joycon and they NSMBWii style play the level all as colored toads (4 players only). If Vs was chosen one player gets a joycon and gets 1 life to beat the level. If they die, they pass the controller to the next player and so on; repeat once the last person goes. And for fun, new assets: -Slopes -Collectibles (star coins) -Placable water and lava; works like semisolid platforms -Fire flower can be shook to get all power ups in that game; goes back to flower if theme changes; make the costumes in all versions and they stay 8-bit.

Zelda HD collection (with Skyward Sword HD) >>>> All.

Looking back on this in March 2019, you were REALLY on for the most part.

Anyone else never want an Arlo face reveal for the soul reason it's a lot more fun to imagine the puppet is actually alive and running the channel?

I want a xenoblade chronicles X port, I never got a Wii u and since I'm a fan of the series, I'd love to have it on the go.

Sometimes I snap out and question... WHY AM I WATCHING A PUPPET TALK ABOUT GAMMMEESS either ways I still love you channel arlo😂

It's interesting to watch this a year out and see how close the predictions were.

Your videos are always so entertaining while still bringing up really good points, Arlo! I keep coming back to rewatch a lot of your videos precisely because of this, something I rarely do with other youtubers. Keep it up, my blue friend!

So... all that Arlo said wont happen. Because Nintendo surprises us and never does what we think they would do.

Honestly a game I'd like from Nintendo is New Super Mario Bros: All Stars. It could have 64, Sunshine, Wii, Galaxy 1 or 2, U, or 3D World. The problem would be choosing which ones. Personally, I'd go with 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 2 (it wouldn't really need Galaxy 1, but it'd be weird just to include the sequel) and 3D World. I'd avoid including the 2D titles because they are kind of trite at this point and they've already done a 2D All Stars twice. It'd be really cool to have a 3D collection like that without having to rely on just porting 3D world while giving everyone the satisfaction of having all the previous main 3D Mario games on one cartridge or download. I think it'd do really well for 2018 or 2019 to fill in a Mario gap without having to make new games.

I REALLY REALLY WANT VIRTUAL CONSOLE

Hey arlo! I'm new here and just subscribed! I love your content and am bing watching all of your vids! Keep up the great work!!!

I love watching this in late 2018 seeing what he got right and wrong. We got an all new Smash. Tropical freeze, Hyrule warriors, Yoshi, treasure tracker, and Bayonetta were all realeased too.

Great video Arlo! You're my favorite muppet! 🙊 I think touch screen-centric Wii U games could totally work when docked the Switch! The joycons split are essentially the same as Wii Remote and nunchuck, and curser control is almost just as responsive as touch screen controls in my opinion.

The Switch took almost every game that made the Wii U unique and now go count how many exclusives the Wii U has, and count how many you actually like. You see what I’m talking about?

You actually predicted donkey Kong tropical freeze and bayonetta, but wrong about hyrule warriors and captain toad, but great job!

Watching this in June 2018 is hilarious.

You got a lot of these 😌

Tokyo Mirage Sessions. The game is hugely underrated and deserves a port + sequel.

I just want Pikmin on Switch. NOW

I thought the title said «Wii U and switch: to port or nort?» Damn

The funny thing about watching this late: A lot of these Ideas are coming to the switch.

Honestly, the game I want them to port the most is Tropical Freeze. That's an amazing, yet extremely overlooked game and more people should get the chance to experience it. Also, I love you once again for using music from that game in this video. Amiss Abyss is actually my favorite song. Ever.

As a Wii U and Switch owner I'm not pissed off at all. For example I'm excited for Pokken cause I don't own it for Wii U but even games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I will eventully buy just not for the full price. And I'm also excited for people who were claiming the Wii U had no games thinking "hmmm... the Wii U was an awesome console after all"

Paper Mario is due for a change. They tend not to keep the same formula 3 times in a row.

You're exceptionally awesome, Arlo.

This is video is already over 3 months old and has aged like fine wine. If only because of the Bayonetta port idea, and what's more is that it is a Switch port of 1 AND 2, with a squeal already in the works. Wonder if Arlo will do a review of said Switch ports when they come out.

Am I the only person that wants Yoshi's Story 2? Yeah? Okay Ill go home...

Guys, I'd REALLY love to see Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors on Switch. Also, a port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE would be great too. Come on guys, we can MAKE this happen.

I like your personality and videos so I subscribed and hit the notification bell 😁

I would love to see a bunch of Wii U ports on the Switch. Yoshi's Woolly World being ported onto the same cart as the new Yoshi game would be INCREDIBLE. We'll see I guess. Nice job on predicting the Bayonetta II port :D

I love watching these videos in the future to see how right or wrong you were.

I’m from the future (2019) Arlo was right Mario Maker 2

@arlo you were spot on with Bayonetta 2!! good call dude

THIS AGED SO WELL WHAT.

Call it "Smash 4 Switch"

5 views and 1 like? That actually makes sense.

I love watching videos like this in 2021 when (nearly) every single game has been ported to Switch or has a sequel.

Favorite arlo video, hands down

I really hope they will bring back the Zelda games too. I would really like to play Windwaker again.

This is a surreal watch in 2021. -SSB Wii U: Successor instead of port (mostly CORRECT) -Tropical Freeze: Port plus Funky mode (CORRECT) -3D World: Coming very soon with relatively meaty extra content (basically CORRECT) -Xenoblade X: Nothing announced, but Xenoblade 1 was remastered (mostly CORRECT) -Pikmin 3: Port + a few extra features (CORRECT, except timeline) -Woolly World: No port (CORRECT) -Hyrule Warriors: Port AND sequel released (WRONG) -Mario Maker: Sequel (CORRECT, except timeline) -Bayonetta 2: Port (CORRECT) -Wonderful 101: Port (CORRECT, mostly) -Captain Toad: Port, no sequel ("probably not" turned out incorrect) -Rainbow Curse: No port (CORRECT) -Color Splash: Sequel (his preference was correct) -Star Fox Zero: Nothing (basically CORRECT) Overall, Arlo seems to have mostly nailed it - the only real wrong things (as of Feb 9 2021) were things he thought WOULDN'T happen.

This is the first time watching a video of yours on your channel, but I think you might have earned a subscriber. I agree with basically everything. especially Smash section. I also have other reasons to think that we are getting a new Smash and thats simply because of how many new games there have been lately. Most major Nintendo ips represented in Smash have had a new game. Donkey Kong is the biggest game without one and it could just have a stage from Tropical Freeze which released close Wii U. To me, a port would feel a little outdated on a Switch.

Really good analysis!

Is this real ? I mean I've been watch Arlo's videos all day and there is only two expansions either 1: Arlo's all ways watching 2: Or God has blessed me

Sakurai: I have an idea Miyamotto: What? Sakurai: Smash port for switch Miyamotto: hmmmm 1 month later Sakurai: IT PRINTS MONEY

Even tho this channel isin’t super meme dream comedy it still is so funny that a cookie monster doll talking video games

Hello exceptional Arlo!

Now Bayonetta 2 is actually coming to Switch!

little did he know that captain toad would actually be ported, and a new smash bros game would be announced

Interesting coming back to this now and seeing it again. Arlo didn't always call it right, but his reasoning was spot on - Nintendo didn't bring back Wonderful 101, Platinum hail-mary'd the game on their own. Hyrule Warriors did come back, but that was Nintendo taking the easiest win they could get on the "Zelda every year" promise. Except for Treasure Tracker being a pretty early "fill in the release gaps" port (to decent sales!).

You convinced me to pick up the Pikmin games on the Wii, Arlo. I've really enjoyed them too! So the only Wii U game that makes me sad i missed out on is Pikmin 3--I hope they'll port the game so i dont miss out on it. And since my 3DS was my main console for a few years, I already played many of the dual titles it shared with the Wii U, like Donkey Kong Country & Super Mario 3D Land, so I don't really feel the need to port the rest of these titles discussed to the Switch. I really want a robust Virtual Console though. Mario Party 1-3 and Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones needs to be on my Switch so badly! haha

Arlo Captain Toad is a port now!!!!!!! YES!!!!!

Wouldn't it be great to get a new 2D classic Wario land game on the Switch?

By the time I'm done binge watching your videos I am going to rip the doors off my neighbors car every time I hear the phrase level editor.

There's a Japanese rhthym called VOEZ on the switch that requires touch screen, therefore making you play handheld. Really good game btw!

I think for Mario party they should ditch the thing where it's a cart and go back to the individual turns, but keep bowser mode as a thing where you use another switch as local play. And maybe keep the amiibo party because of the thing of every remote having an nfc reader and writer, but maybe not because the left controllers not having one, so you couldn't play amiibo party with split joycons. One more thing, focus on the mini games, and the maps, and have a portable mode and console mode. Console mode, being the home console, one screen type thing, and portable mode, like a 3ds, ds where it is a lot of Mario parties and their own views. That would be great. Thank you for reading.😀

I really hope you're right about porting DKC: Tropical Freeze. It's so sad that game got completely overshadowed by Super Mario 3D World and Super Smash Bros. The Switch needs a Donkey Kong game. a port of Tropical Freeze would be better than nothing. However, I can't help but wonder if all the Donkey Kong Country references in Super Mario Odyssey's most shown off level New Donk City, is a hint at a 3D Open world Donkey Kong game in the works. Retro could definitely pull it off, they had no problems adapting Metroid into 3D with the Prime series, and since they're not working on Prime 4, they really could be making the next big DK game and make it way better than DK64.

Little did Arlo know that Nintendo just watches his channel for business decisions

Surprised you didnt mention Wind Waker HD! Thats one of my most wanted games on the Switch. It would be such a fun game to play on the go too.

I need dk tropical freeze and windwaker HD

I'd rather have a captain toad sequel than a 3d world port or sequel.

It's crazy to me that I remember watching this when it came out and that couple of years when Super Mario 3D World would get a port is now

We got 2 Wii U ports this month, and one is on the way for July, so I think it's safe to say we can expect more Wii U ports across the Switch's lifespan.

VOEZ is a tablet only game. so they have 1 there is no reason they shouldn't make more, like kirby and the rainbow curse. Even mario maker. make it have to be undocked to make levels and then you can play other peoples stages docked or undocked. That is not a turn off. I get it. The point of the switch is to be able to go from portable to hope but a few games doesnt mean they are scrapping that marketing strategy.

This video aged quite well!

Wow Arlo, a lot of these predictions were right.

2:06 LOL GREAT JOB K.O.ING YOURSELF XD (if that was you arlo, i'm sorry but that was funny XD)

I'd love to see a port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions, especially with less censorship for the non-Japanese localizations!

I'm going to make a pikmin level editor just for arlo lol

The game pad features could be portable mode exclusive. Genius

I have a brilliant idea! If the switch is docked you could use a cheap accessory where it's just a big touch screen that needs to connect to a docked switch and connect joycons to it so docked games like mario maker could work.

Hi im from the future and they announced smash 5 in 2018 yay :)

Wow- less than 200 dislikes and over 100k views? Arlo needs to be nerfed

I feel like Color Splash would have been a lot better if each card was usable any number of times, but you had to unlock them in various ways. Also, a customizable deck system could fill in the void that removing badges left, and adding deck limit restriction lifting and unique cards that are tied to a level up system could satisfy the progression side of things even more. The way it was set up in the actual game really stifled the possible deck-building fun that comes with collectible card games.

At this point, a TTYD port would put me in heaven.

The whole "Smash 4" thing annoys me. You know the Wii U one was the 5th one, right?

I'd rather a new Donkey Kong Country game, but yeah too many people haven't played it, I say go for the port

Hamlet wasn’t holding the skull for the to be or not to be speech, he was holding it for the alas poor yorick speech

I hope wonderful 101 gets a sequel instead of a port. Wonderful 101 is my favorite game ever. Merry Christmas

The MAIN reason I want a Smash bros port for Switch with just an extra handful of stages and characters and an improved version of Smash Run is.... .... I just feel Sakurai wouldn't be as motivated to do a better one. I think he gave it all on the last one, and it was because Iwata personally asked him, and Iwata is gone. Let Sakurai do something else

I really want a Star Fox Zero port because I didn't get this (or Pokken!) on my Wii U. I really considered it but after the bad reviews I didn't end up trying it. If they fixed the controls and made it more traditional, and maybe with a cheaper price tag, it would be a must-have for me!

0:02 Hello my exceptionally awesome RU-vidr!

I agree with pretty much all of your opinions.
