Doom is a technological marvel for the switch, if you told me last year I would get that game on a handheld, I would have laughed, but soon I will be able to play one of my favorite FPS games anywhere I go! Amazing...
Church Cybergoth now here's a man with a conflict! If you played Doom before, get Odyssey first, but if you haven't, you should get it first and go into Odyssey blind when you get the chance
I get you love that franchise, and I don't mean to put down the gameplay at all, but the support from even one extra third party takes priority over a new Golden Sun game. Isaac has waited for quite a while now, a chance in another year or two will be best, but now Nintendo needs the heavy hitting exclusives and the third party support.
I really want a double pack, whether it's a remake or a port. The worst part of the original GS1&2 is the file transfer. Dark Dawn was disappointing. I don't want another game like it. If they can make it look good, let you return anywhere and get stuff you missed, and make an interesting story, i'm sold. Personally, i think a whole new cast is necessary, and not just kids of the old party members.
You know, they might actually go for that. I didn't even consider a remake, but Nintendo certainly does these days! It all depends on whether modern gamers even remember Golden Sun that well. Dark Dawn was a *very* mixed bag. I loved the world exploration, as usual, although their decision to retcon some of the "Asian" countries as being completely different was a bit strange. The combat was enjoyable, but not challenging at all. My favorite boss battle, and the first one I found difficult, was an optional one *after* the end of the game. And the story was pretty poor, just above fanfiction level. Still, I had fun with it. A new Golden Sun game would be a risk, and Nintendo is not taking risks right now. Maybe in a few years, once the Switch hype dies down and they can't rely on their mainstays for everything.
can we talk about how in the odyssey segment in the direct you closed your ears and shouted lalalala when Koizumi said there's more kingdoms not revealed yet
I've seen a couple of people in reaction videos who got more and into the game the more they talked about the combat system from 'I've avoided being sucked into Xenoblade so far; I like JRPGs I'm just not sure I have time for another one' to 'shut up and take my money' from the over detailed combat explanation segment of the xenoblade 2 footage, so apparently there was an audience for handling Xenoblade 2 that way, but it killed the pace of the direct for me as well, and I've been pumped for this since knowing it was going to be a thing.
I just recently purchased Xenoverse 2, amazing port. I will be buying La noire, doom, wolfenstein, rocket league, and nba 2k18. Skyrim is a game I bought 2 times already, and fifa is a shit port. I am doing my part supporting the switch, because it deserves it, I am a proud day 1 purchaser and I have yet to be disappointed.
Jason P I wouldn't overlook FIFA. From what I've read, it's actually pretty solid. The only major thing it's missing is The Journey, which most people didn't seem to care about anyway. Its smooth 60fps and solid gameplay definitely makes it seem better than NBA2k, which has multiple issues and a despicable microtransactions model.
I'm early so I'm going to go ahead and say that you are an asset to the UA-cam community, Arlo! Your content is always so poignant and well constructed, and your fantastically earnest sense of humour makes your content ceaselessly entertaining and relatable
I would love to see the Kingdom Hearts games get put on the Switch as well as 2.8 and KH3 because i'll be honest here. Even though I played all the games like 3 times each I'd still buy it anyway lol. Cuz like you said in the past Arlo, Nintendo made a SMART marketing plan here!! (now alongside that I'll be begging for Persona 5 and Neir Automata ports too)
DetectiveEthanaterSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer Nier Automata would be great, especially if it isn't horribly glitchy like the PC port, and Persona 5 would obviously be great, but I doubt either of those would happen. Well, Persona 5 could happen, as the mainline SMT games are on Nintendo systems, even if Persona isn't, but they're both still unlikely.
Lol, it took them what, 10 years to finally finish KH3? It'll take them another 10 to port it to the switch 😂 I do want to see any of the KH titles though
Mixingmetaphorsoup : what are you on about? Nier Automata is fine on PC! I got it and it runs better then the PS4 version I played, maybe you need to stop pirating games or uninstall mods that break games.
caio lima viana A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word, or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. In this case, critics often say Nintendo or their console is failing, hence "doomed", but in this case, it plays with the word as the title of the game "Doom". Don't forget, you can look up meanings of words on Google.
Every step forward Nintendo makes with the Switch, they take two steps backwards with UA-cam. *faceplam* For those who don't know, they've sent emails to channels in their Partner Program that you can no longer livestream their games if you're in the Nintendo Partner Program. _It doesn't specify the consequences if you do livestream, but still a horrible decision._
Javier Gómez I've heard the exact opposite. Vinesauce has recieved no claims or emails against them, and they're one of the larger streaming groups out there. One of the chat members in last night's stream said that as a Presentation Partner, that user DID get an email. Let's maybe just wait a week for more reliable sources to confirm whatever's going on.
Oh man, because if i think streaming, i think youtube. As vinny vinesauce said last night when he was talking about this, it's probably because nintendo pays people in the partner program. They wouldn't be able to monitor livestreams, and thus couldn't give an amount to pay for it. Besides, twitch exists for streaming. Quit your whining.
Red_Milk I honestly think that at this point, a face reveal would spoil the experience. It would be like seeing the puppeteers behind Sesame Street and The Muppets. To us, those puppets are the actors and feel just as alive as the human characters, and revealing the puppeteers would just kill that feeling.
Great video, Arlo! I've been enjoying your videos more and more, especially when they're open-forums like this one. I always get excited for a new video discussion, and hopefully, they'll get longer!
Time travel. Nintendo Europe time travels to the future to get the finished game, comes back to the present and releases it. I mean, what other explanation could there be :P
rodos stan these different release dates should just be done with. I can understand if Japan gets it first if a game needs to be translated or vise versa but in any other situation, why does this still happen? It's 2017 ffs. We have seen very controversial games having a world wide release many times, proving it can be done
okay so... I have no reason to get Doom on PS4 or Xbone, I've got a computer that can play it already. maybe not maxed out graphics but it can play that game as well as them and the mouse controls are better anyway. Especially with a Steam sale, I've got no reason to want it on any other platform... except the switch. That portability is HUGE. It's a meaningful difference and while the graphics will obviously not be bleeding edge, that portability alone makes the experience worth being on another platform.
Prettymuch, it really cant be overstated how much the portibilty makes a unique difference compared to other consoles. I see nore and more pc aryans consider buying a switch next to their rig too.
My ultimate dream is for Dark Souls to get released on the Switch. It's most likely going to happen, since there is lots of evidence, but I'm still keeping my fingers crossed.
Drewsefer89 darksouls 3 was the first game to be leaked as a port and even showed a image of it on the switch, not counting FROM SOFTWARE is listed as a third party supporter of the switch
Nice video, Arlo. I like the amount of opinion you're committed to. This is a great way to get some new info (which you had). I also like that you got yourself on-screen plenty, too. Makes a big difference! Keep it up!
7 років тому+3
So far I’m supporting the switch and 3rd party developers, got nba 2k18, xenoverse 2, going to buy doom, Skyrim, la noire, Wolfenstein 2, I’m looking to get Mario rabbits, and I have like 16 games on my Switch already, for the me the portability sold me on, if I want graphics I’ll play on my gamer Pc, but I can’t take my pc with me lol. The switch is an amazing device. Hope more people realize that and also developers.
@Milbox R It's dumb because it's partly funded by Microsoft and thus is not likely going to any of their competition. But I agree, Cuphead on Switch would be nice.
Omar Mohammed As much as I would love that, I put it in the same boat as Ori and the Blind Forest. Never gonna happen because it's owned by Microsoft, but it would be completly awesome to have on the Switch.
I walked outside! But I was killed in the process. :( HEY Arlo, do you know that you were in a video by videogamedunkey? He is a UA-camr with 3 million subs, and he showed you as an example of a good game reviewer! I am very happy for you. You do such great work, and your style is so fun and special. Keep being you!
I already have Doom on the PC, but I would much, much rather play it on the Switch. I'm so glad they're porting it over. Also really looking forward to Wolfenstein 2 now that I'll be able to play it on my platform of choice.
I found this channel today and i've been binging so many videos! It's so easy to forget Arlo is a puppet.. Honestly it doesn't even cross my mind most of the time! It's just a great channel! Awesome content!
I don't understand why other games with good graphics can't come to switch if switch can handle games like doom and wolfenstein I just wanna play dark souls on switch
Usually because games with high budgets take a long time to make or port, and most of the games you have heard of (Red dead, Kingdom Hearts, etc) started development before they knew what a Switch even was. It's hard for large budget games to be flexible because so much money is riding on every decision, you have to time the release dates with your marketing teams, it's better for a big budget title to release on time and buggy than delay it, because literally millions of dollars are at stake. Now that devs know the Switch is successful, it's easier to have Switch in mind from the beginning of development instead of trying to half-ass a fast port at the last minute.
I played Meat Boy Forever at PAX. I'm not sure if they mentioned the infinite runner part, and as of now pressing any direction on the stick is slide, but it's super fun and addictive!
Fun fact: The wiis entire NAND (aka how much data could be saved to the console) was only about half a gigabyte. That means that the Wiis' OS, update data, game save data, AND Wii Shop Channel games all had to fit on a memory chip many times smaller then most flash drives are these days. SD cards helped, but that was tacked on after the fact, and likely didn't affect their size standards.
The worst part is the shitty Sony fanbase that is trying to convice us that it's not a betrayal because we're not worth to play it,because MH was for sony first (that doesn't mean anything,final fantasy was for NES first so it must be on nintendo only for this?)and other crappy stuff...ok,you have the game,good for you,so why the fuck are you bitching only because Nintendo fans are sad just like YOU in 2009?
Very good video! I personally have never heard of that Team Meat story, so that was news to me. 11:09 And no, I won't go for a walk outside Arlo. It's a dark cold night in early December!
A Person With a Name I think that game could've been better after trying a demo of the PS4 version. I hope enough people request a Switch version of FighterZ.
A Person With a Name It's great, So great that's it my favourite game on the Switch(I have MK8D, Arms and Splatoon 2 As well). If you want to face me, my FC is 7964 8018 4790.
Arlo - I sincerely love all of your content. What's your take on Nintendo's...uh, take... on online infrastructure? It's killing the Splatoon 2 and the new Fifa 18 communities (both of which represent demographics that are crucial to ensure future success IMO) in the inability to play directly with their friends. I'd love to know your thoughts on that. Thanks for the fantastic content as always.
The voice chat option is definitely not fixed it may have improved some problems but it is still really bad, an alternative app is still a much better option (aka Discord or Skype).
IF nintendo is changing they need to... -Have Mother 3 on the Switch -Stop taking down Fan-Made projects like Pokemon Uranium -Actually listen to what the fans want from their platforms
Average Joe No one's arguing it's legal but it's still a dick move. They don't have to take it down, they just did because they can and it's a blow on their image. They just shit over the passionate work of fans of their game and made themselves look like jerks. Fangames don't impede on official games sales. People will still buy the next game in their favorite serie no matter how many fangames they play. They should let fandom thrive. I don't know about Uranium because it's a bit too wierd to be concidered a canon entry but shit like am2r they'd be better of hiring the dev and producing a switch release.
The fact is that am2r would have taken away from the sales of samus returns. It still did despite being removed. It seemed like a dick move before we knew returns was coming but the fact is that it was a good business decision and you're just holding onto a grudge that you have no reason for now.
Great video as always. You do a really good job with put in good content and good editing in your videos. I got a minor issue though. The "switch is DOOMed" is used before and it is used by really bad youtubers. So when I look at the title I think about them and get this bad flashback. I am probably the only one who feel this way and it is a nice play of words. Great video as always, you are awesome~
D4V3Z02 That's cool, for me it's kinda a comprimise for what i'd rather play on the go. If its a game that requires a long sitdown like skyrim, pc it is, if it's more stylized i'd prefer it on the switch. ....would still kill for DkS1 and 2 on the switch tho.
Arlo isn't exaggerating. DOOM (2016) is like a perfect video game. JUST the main game has fun challenges, perfectly balanced achievements, a rip-roaring "story" of good times and hilariously bleak dialogue (Demonic Possession now at unsafe levels?), tons of actual exploration and clever secret-finding, awesome platforming that's mixed in with the combat, sick homages to past games, and its anchored by an amazingly appropriate soundtrack and graphics that are just gorgeous. But it ALSO has all the DLC for free, an Arcade Mode, a freaking map editor that lets you play single-payer and co-op maps with your friends (Co-op custom DOOM!!!), and even some competitive multiplayer if you want that. It is everything you want from a video game if you like FPSes. I personally don't want to play it on the switch compared to 1440p on my PC with a mouse, but it is a big title that absolutely earned its critical acclaim.
You know... I've been subscribed for so long, I just realized... Arlo is a blue muppet. He is so eloquent and has such a good personality, you kinda just forget about it.
Definitely beautiful outside here in Houston. I was just out soaking up some sun.🌞 Great video, the Switch has a bright future, I have a very strong feeling Nintendo is in a mood to continue to really surprise us. Expect some big announcements at the top of 2018.😉 Keep it Gaming!✌
I am so pumped for something similar to the Nintendo Switch Presentation from January. Well I hope there's coming one in January/December again with a great amount of titles coming to the Switch in 2018. The Directs are great but they are in my opinion, mainly for new smaller games or more information. I would love them to have a presentation like they did in January and announce all the new big things happening in 2018. Talking about online and maybe virtual console. More stuff about Yoshi and Kirby, and possible new announcements for the rest of spring and summer and some for Fall and Winter. Then more at E3, about the rest of 2018 and some trailers for 2019. Just the thought of watching everything unfold what they have planned for 2018 and kept us in the dark of not knowing what to come. Man that makes me excited.
Relatedly - Switch is on pace to generate the most software sales for any Nintendo system in North America (physical only) in it's launch year since software sales tracking began (I think that's 12 months rather than 'in the cullender year') and there are indies who are reporting that the Switch version of their titles have sold more copies than all other platforms combined. This thing is selling software, and was doing even during supply shortages of the hardware.
It actually is a beautiful day here today. 80 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny and there is a nice breeze. Maybe I will go out for a walk. Good call! Seriously, the Switch is in a position to do amazingly well. Third party and Indie games thus far have been selling extremely well. I think it will only be a matter of time before more big third parties start showing up. I think Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 will even make the jump to the Switch after Square Enix said they were looking into bringing FFXV via the Unreal Engine 4. Since FF7R and KH3 are already built in Unreal Engine, half of the work is already done.
The point you made about Isaac was amazing, when I got my switch I was going to go buy Mario kart. And I was looking then I saw Isaac. I always meant to buy that game but I wasn't much of a pc gamer. So I saw the opprutunity and got it. Mostly because there wasn't much out like you said
Actually Binding of Isaac came out on 3DS, there wasn't any issue over the religious themes, that rumour stems from McMillan doing an april fools post over it. There was some discussion a while back though on how they were going to bring it to the system with the system hardware being so old - without making compromises it would have run poorly.
I'm REALLY hoping the Switch version of Skyrim, DOOM 2016, and Wolfinstin 2 do well because it will hopefully encourage more 3rd party devs to jump on the system. You're completely right Arlo, the Switch needs as many good 1st and 3rd party games as possible as soon as possible to prevent it from completely fizzling out in 1 to 2 years like the Wii did.
Arlo: "Go outside! It's nice out!"
Me: *Looks outside only to see rain and lighting.* "Yeah, A walk sounds nice right about now."
Drakeborn I like rain. Rain is nice.
*sees eggs cooking on sidewalk*
I don't want my skin turning darker than it usually is.
Drakeborn I can’t go out there are war happen in my area
Laughs in 2020
Doom is a technological marvel for the switch, if you told me last year I would get that game on a handheld, I would have laughed, but soon I will be able to play one of my favorite FPS games anywhere I go! Amazing...
Should I get doom or Mario first HELP
Church Cybergoth now here's a man with a conflict! If you played Doom before, get Odyssey first, but if you haven't, you should get it first and go into Odyssey blind when you get the chance
"GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING"
Me: "Finally, Arlo addresses the fact that he's naked in his videos"
From the title alone I was scared, damn you arlo for making a witty and worrying title!!
SnivyLink
You can also find a few others (mostly old videos) saying that the switch was gonna be doomed in general.
magoichi75 The Doomed thing is a ironic meme at this point tho.
So when is NASA bringing a Switch to Mars so someone can play DOOM on Mars.
LordSpleach This is a big step for the humanity kkkkkkk
One small step for man
One huge step for gaming fanboys!
And so the purpose of the universe was complete
It'll probably go to the moon first...Lol
Nolan Lake way over your head
same with you buddy...I already know Elon Musk's race to get to Mars...but we are gonna go to the moon again before we get to Mars.
How about another Golden Sun game on the Switch Nintendo? Please?
why are you asking arlo?
I get you love that franchise, and I don't mean to put down the gameplay at all, but the support from even one extra third party takes priority over a new Golden Sun game. Isaac has waited for quite a while now, a chance in another year or two will be best, but now Nintendo needs the heavy hitting exclusives and the third party support.
Oh, I wish. But Dark Dawn *did not* do well. I don't even know if Nintendo will let Camelot make a non-sports title anymore.
I really want a double pack, whether it's a remake or a port.
The worst part of the original GS1&2 is the file transfer.
Dark Dawn was disappointing. I don't want another game like it.
If they can make it look good, let you return anywhere and get stuff you missed, and make an interesting story, i'm sold.
Personally, i think a whole new cast is necessary, and not just kids of the old party members.
You know, they might actually go for that. I didn't even consider a remake, but Nintendo certainly does these days! It all depends on whether modern gamers even remember Golden Sun that well.

A new Golden Sun game would be a risk, and Nintendo is not taking risks right now. Maybe in a few years, once the Switch hype dies down and they can't rely on their mainstays for everything.
can we talk about how in the odyssey segment in the direct you closed your ears and shouted lalalala when Koizumi said there's more kingdoms not revealed yet
Let him be pleasantly surprised :D
Anyone else decide to go make a sandwich while they were talking about Xenoblade?
i'm hyped as hell for xenoblade 2 and I still thought that segment was way too long and boring af
I've seen a couple of people in reaction videos who got more and into the game the more they talked about the combat system from 'I've avoided being sucked into Xenoblade so far; I like JRPGs I'm just not sure I have time for another one' to 'shut up and take my money' from the over detailed combat explanation segment of the xenoblade 2 footage, so apparently there was an audience for handling Xenoblade 2 that way, but it killed the pace of the direct for me as well, and I've been pumped for this since knowing it was going to be a thing.
I can't blame him, I'm also trying to avoid spoilers for Odyssey.
> reads title
> notification cuts off at "DOOM"
> insta-click
ShadowJonathan Lol! Almost like he did that on purpose! 😁
I was kinda scared when I read the title
The WiiShop limit was 40mb
Matheus Sereniski pathetic.
Blake Blast I know, right?
Matheus Sereniski
*wow*
40 milli bits is less than one letter of code. I think you mean 40MB or 40 mega bytes.
Kyle Netherwood it's obviously 40 mega bytes, stop being a smartass
See folks. This is how you do it. It’s ok to be a fan. Arlo is a Nintendo fan, without the typical fanboyism that’s running rampant. Good going :)
I just recently purchased Xenoverse 2, amazing port. I will be buying La noire, doom, wolfenstein, rocket league, and nba 2k18. Skyrim is a game I bought 2 times already, and fifa is a shit port.

Its smooth 60fps and solid gameplay definitely makes it seem better than NBA2k, which has multiple issues and a despicable microtransactions model.
Xenoverse 2 really surprised me. It has framedrops in the city ocassionally, but overall it's a great port.
Fifa is brilliant. It has everything a FIFA game would need. I highly recommend it
I'll be buying skyrim for the 5th time, I just love the game, and it's always been my dream to play it portable.
I'd be careful with 2k18 and look into the mess with microtransactions first..
You said that if a Nintendo fan would play one first person shooter, they'd make it doom.
Two words.
Metroid.
Prime.
Matthew the Hylian Prime is more of an action adventure first person shooter than a fps that requires you to shoot everything on front of you.
Matthew the Hylian Metroid Prime wasn't a shooter, hell it even had a lock-on mechanic.
I think he meant FPS that are actually about the shooting. -To which I say Prime 3.-
Metroid Prime is not a shooter.
It is a shooter, it just doesn't care about the shooting.
I'm early so I'm going to go ahead and say that you are an asset to the UA-cam community, Arlo!
Your content is always so poignant and well constructed, and your fantastically earnest sense of humour makes your content ceaselessly entertaining and relatable
MadCyantist - He really is the Nintendo of UA-cam.
Anyone ever notice that Arlo never blinks? Spooky.
Matt Selby I think he said something about him training for multiple years to not blink
He blink when you blink so..............
He blinks offscreen
I would love to see the Kingdom Hearts games get put on the Switch as well as 2.8 and KH3 because i'll be honest here. Even though I played all the games like 3 times each I'd still buy it anyway lol. Cuz like you said in the past Arlo, Nintendo made a SMART marketing plan here!!

I can understand if KH3 doesn't make it but I can't see a reason why 2.8 can't make it.
Lol, it took them what, 10 years to finally finish KH3? It'll take them another 10 to port it to the switch 😂
I do want to see any of the KH titles though
DetectiveEthanaterSpiritOfBobbyFulbrightGamer Sony shot first, on that one.
Mixingmetaphorsoup : what are you on about? Nier Automata is fine on PC! I got it and it runs better then the PS4 version I played, maybe you need to stop pirating games or uninstall mods that break games.
I want octopath
Xavier Estellés it's gonna be weird when they give it an official name.
So excitred for octodad traveler
Xavier Estellés octopath traveller is not bad for a name
that title scared me, til i realized it was a pun xD
Megan Henderson me too
What is a pun?
caio lima viana A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word, or the fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings.

For those who don't know, they've sent emails to channels in their Partner Program that you can no longer livestream their games if you're in the Nintendo Partner Program.
_It doesn't specify the consequences if you do livestream, but still a horrible decision._
StupidMarioBros1Fan that sucks
StupidMarioBros1Fan Misinformation. The news were that ONLY partners could stream nintendo games.
LozPlaya because you have less than 100 subs and most likeky arent in the nintendo partnership program...?
Javier Gómez I've heard the exact opposite. Vinesauce has recieved no claims or emails against them, and they're one of the larger streaming groups out there. One of the chat members in last night's stream said that as a Presentation Partner, that user DID get an email.

They wouldn't be able to monitor livestreams, and thus couldn't give an amount to pay for it. Besides, twitch exists for streaming. Quit your whining.
I'M GONNA SING THE DOOM SONG NOW!
doom doom, doom-doom doom...
I swear Arlo deserves more subs then he has already.
Arlo, that intro basically sums up why i love this channel and everything it stands for. Please, never change. thx
Arlo is the only youtube channel i'm ok with not having a face revel
Heck, i think everyone who's watched at least 3 of his video would agree with me.
Red_Milk I honestly think that at this point, a face reveal would spoil the experience. It would be like seeing the puppeteers behind Sesame Street and The Muppets. To us, those puppets are the actors and feel just as alive as the human characters, and revealing the puppeteers would just kill that feeling.
Yeah it would be awful and I totally agree with you
Great video, Arlo! I've been enjoying your videos more and more, especially when they're open-forums like this one. I always get excited for a new video discussion, and hopefully, they'll get longer!
Actually Binding of of Isaac came out at march on the switch...EXCEPT in Europe where it came out this month for no reason.
Shade of winter
And yet you guys are getting a Kirby game *2 MONTHS* early. Even earlier than *JAPAN*
How is that even possible?
Time travel. Nintendo Europe time travels to the future to get the finished game, comes back to the present and releases it. I mean, what other explanation could there be :P
Europe has alot more regulations
A shame really
I want everyone to play Isaac it's one of the best games of all time
rodos stan these different release dates should just be done with.

BlockSquad1000 I need Wind Waker
I want them to make a Darksoul trilogy on the Switch.
If they did a Dark Souls trilogy, imagine the maintenance and spread-out fanbase... it would be empty, and possibly more laggy.
Wait! Evidence of Dark Souls coming to the Switch? Please elaborate. Oh praise thy lord of sunlight.
Drewsefer89 darksouls 3 was the first game to be leaked as a port and even showed a image of it on the switch, not counting FROM SOFTWARE is listed as a third party supporter of the switch
my boi arlo keepin it family friendly for that youtube ad sense (ok hand sign emoji)
I was lukewarm on Skyrim coming to the Switch, but I'm really excited for Doom.
After a long, hard, exhausting day
Here's Arlo to brighten it his way! :)
I get what you were doing with the title, but it's still kinda confusing
Nice video, Arlo. I like the amount of opinion you're committed to. This is a great way to get some new info (which you had). I also like that you got yourself on-screen plenty, too. Makes a big difference! Keep it up!
So far I’m supporting the switch and 3rd party developers, got nba 2k18, xenoverse 2, going to buy doom, Skyrim, la noire, Wolfenstein 2, I’m looking to get Mario rabbits, and I have like 16 games on my Switch already, for the me the portability sold me on, if I want graphics I’ll play on my gamer Pc, but I can’t take my pc with me lol. The switch is an amazing device. Hope more people realize that and also developers.
You want to know how Bethesda can singlehandedly boost the return sales on the Switch?
Fallout 4. Anytime, anywhere.
I know this is dumb but I hope cup head comes :p
Omar Mohammed how is that dumb exactly? Its a popular game
Omar Mohammed
No worries, man. Cuphead wouldn't be so bad.
@Milbox R
It's dumb because it's partly funded by Microsoft and thus is not likely going to any of their competition.
But I agree, Cuphead on Switch would be nice.
Omar Mohammed
As much as I would love that, I put it in the same boat as Ori and the Blind Forest. Never gonna happen because it's owned by Microsoft, but it would be completly awesome to have on the Switch.
I think they anouced its an Xbox and pc exlusive
I walked outside! But I was killed in the process. :(
HEY Arlo, do you know that you were in a video by videogamedunkey? He is a UA-camr with 3 million subs, and he showed you as an example of a good game reviewer! I am very happy for you. You do such great work, and your style is so fun and special. Keep being you!
I already have Doom on the PC, but I would much, much rather play it on the Switch. I'm so glad they're porting it over. Also really looking forward to Wolfenstein 2 now that I'll be able to play it on my platform of choice.
I found this channel today and i've been binging so many videos! It's so easy to forget Arlo is a puppet.. Honestly it doesn't even cross my mind most of the time! It's just a great channel! Awesome content!
Palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy.
There's vomit on his sweater already
I don't get why this is happening right now
Daddy’s spaghetti 🍝
peter Katz He's nervouse but on the surface...
peter Katz Arlo's pasghetti.
I like how arlo played the splatoon 2 campaign music over a clip of dooms insane violence. Nice touch!
I don't understand why other games with good graphics can't come to switch if switch can handle games like doom and wolfenstein
I just wanna play dark souls on switch
Usually because games with high budgets take a long time to make or port, and most of the games you have heard of (Red dead, Kingdom Hearts, etc) started development before they knew what a Switch even was. It's hard for large budget games to be flexible because so much money is riding on every decision, you have to time the release dates with your marketing teams, it's better for a big budget title to release on time and buggy than delay it, because literally millions of dollars are at stake. Now that devs know the Switch is successful, it's easier to have Switch in mind from the beginning of development instead of trying to half-ass a fast port at the last minute.
do I have good news for you buddy
The file size limit for indie games on the Wii Shop Channel was 40MB, for anyone wondering.
It's storming so much outside right now but I'm gonna go out because I must obey Arlo, our God.
No you are wrong. The real face of Arlo is unknowable, the puppet which you see is mearly his disciple.
It’s getting pretty nice out here in the Coachella Valley, thanks for the vid Arlo
I LOVE YOU ARLOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I played Meat Boy Forever at PAX. I'm not sure if they mentioned the infinite runner part, and as of now pressing any direction on the stick is slide, but it's super fun and addictive!
The switch is doing pretty well for itself.
Fun fact: The wiis entire NAND (aka how much data could be saved to the console) was only about half a gigabyte. That means that the Wiis' OS, update data, game save data, AND Wii Shop Channel games all had to fit on a memory chip many times smaller then most flash drives are these days. SD cards helped, but that was tacked on after the fact, and likely didn't affect their size standards.
i might have shed a tear when i saw monster hunter
Me too
Vitalij Brem The betrayel...
The worst part is the shitty Sony fanbase that is trying to convice us that it's not a betrayal because we're not worth to play it,because MH was for sony first (that doesn't mean anything,final fantasy was for NES first so it must be on nintendo only for this?)and other crappy stuff...ok,you have the game,good for you,so why the fuck are you bitching only because Nintendo fans are sad just like YOU in 2009?
Very good video! I personally have never heard of that Team Meat story, so that was news to me.
11:09 And no, I won't go for a walk outside Arlo. It's a dark cold night in early December!
Dark Souls series on Switch!!
how do you feel about about dark souls remastered?
I'm not going outside, Arlo, it's 3:30 am and I'm in Australia.
"Big mean dog". Heh.
Also....
Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo switch (soon enough)
Insane Comedion not soon enough
Hey Arlo!!! I love your videos man. Take it easy!
Anyone gonna mention Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2?
A Person With a Name im hyped because I dont have a ps4/xbox onr
A Person With a Name
I think that game could've been better after trying a demo of the PS4 version. I hope enough people request a Switch version of FighterZ.
A Person With a Name It's great, So great that's it my favourite game on the Switch(I have MK8D, Arms and Splatoon 2 As well). If you want to face me, my FC is 7964 8018 4790.
TheSuperSayian 7020 I don't actually have a Switch or the game. I just like it.
TheSuperSayian 7020 I've been wanting this on my switch, i just cant tell if its worth it.
"I don't want to be responsible for you going outside". Lol.
Arlo - I sincerely love all of your content. What's your take on Nintendo's...uh, take... on online infrastructure? It's killing the Splatoon 2 and the new Fifa 18 communities (both of which represent demographics that are crucial to ensure future success IMO) in the inability to play directly with their friends. I'd love to know your thoughts on that. Thanks for the fantastic content as always.
Fifa's fuckup is on EA.
IndyPapiChulo I think the voice chat option is fixed, and splatoon 2 isn’t dead
The voice chat option is definitely not fixed it may have improved some problems but it is still really bad, an alternative app is still a much better option (aka Discord or Skype).
BigBossJelly - 64supermarioreturns Give them time regardless
Apparently Travis Strikes Again was in the Indie section, cause the plot involves Travis fighting through different Indie game worlds.
IF nintendo is changing they need to...
-Have Mother 3 on the Switch
-Stop taking down Fan-Made projects like Pokemon Uranium
-Actually listen to what the fans want from their platforms
Alexander Familton they're doing #3
Alexander Familton With the recent attention Metroid is receiving, Nintendo is starting to do number 3.
Average Joe No one's arguing it's legal but it's still a dick move. They don't have to take it down, they just did because they can and it's a blow on their image. They just shit over the passionate work of fans of their game and made themselves look like jerks. Fangames don't impede on official games sales. People will still buy the next game in their favorite serie no matter how many fangames they play.
They should let fandom thrive. I don't know about Uranium because it's a bit too wierd to be concidered a canon entry but shit like am2r they'd be better of hiring the dev and producing a switch release.
The fact is that am2r would have taken away from the sales of samus returns. It still did despite being removed. It seemed like a dick move before we knew returns was coming but the fact is that it was a good business decision and you're just holding onto a grudge that you have no reason for now.
Fuck fan games, use that talent to make original indies on Switch instead of PC hacks and ripoffs of games other people made. Shut them all down.
Great video as always. You do a really good job with put in good content and good editing in your videos. I got a minor issue though. The "switch is DOOMed" is used before and it is used by really bad youtubers. So when I look at the title I think about them and get this bad flashback. I am probably the only one who feel this way and it is a nice play of words.
Great video as always, you are awesome~
NINTENDOOM!!!!!!!!
keiichimorisato98 nintendome?
keiichimorisato98
That deserves a love.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM (bender)
I stopped to look at your profile picture and I got say..... *_N O I C E_*
it's also the background of my computer, PSP, PSVita, AND PS3, i don't have a PS4 yet, so i don't know if i can change the background image.
Switch is also getting the LA Noire rerelease. That's not quite a "vote of confidence" from Rockstar, but it does show their interest.
Held off buying it on pc just because of that. Loved the game on the 360 can't wait to get back into it again
I don't think anyone would complain if you did make a whole video on DOOM Arlo.
Arlo. I may consider unsubscribing if there's another pun.
Don't listen to em Arlo! Use all da puns!
Oh come on, he had to take a *shot* at it once.
But puns make the world go round!
That kind of threat is completely pun-called for.
Though I pun-derstand why you might get sick of them after a while.
WHOOHOO IT'S ARLO TIME!!
The Nintendo Switch is doomed to have DOOM 2016.
Get it?
Carlo Nassar no.
Come on, man. This comment is for fun.
Ethan Wylie
😡
Bethesdrones like ninstation and Ethan are exactly why we need to stop being afraid to admit nuDoom sucked.
Patrick Bateman
Your opinion, dude.
Outside there's an angry dog holding a poison gas canister. What do I do Arlo!!
All those PC games I already have and won't buy for the switch :/
D4V3Z02 That's cool, for me it's kinda a comprimise for what i'd rather play on the go.
If its a game that requires a long sitdown like skyrim, pc it is, if it's more stylized i'd prefer it on the switch.
....would still kill for DkS1 and 2 on the switch tho.
Yeah, same here. The portable aspect means nothing for me.
Here in south Austin it's been raining a bunch the last few days so I think I'm gonna stay inside if that is alright with you, Arlo
Who else like me wants Overwatch on the Switch!!
Arlo isn't exaggerating. DOOM (2016) is like a perfect video game. JUST the main game has fun challenges, perfectly balanced achievements, a rip-roaring "story" of good times and hilariously bleak dialogue (Demonic Possession now at unsafe levels?), tons of actual exploration and clever secret-finding, awesome platforming that's mixed in with the combat, sick homages to past games, and its anchored by an amazingly appropriate soundtrack and graphics that are just gorgeous. But it ALSO has all the DLC for free, an Arcade Mode, a freaking map editor that lets you play single-payer and co-op maps with your friends (Co-op custom DOOM!!!), and even some competitive multiplayer if you want that. It is everything you want from a video game if you like FPSes. I personally don't want to play it on the switch compared to 1440p on my PC with a mouse, but it is a big title that absolutely earned its critical acclaim.
The system is definitely showing up at more retailers now. Passed up 5 consoles. Still dipping my toes. It feels great!
Getting Doom, Wolfenstein II and Skyrim, bought DragonBall last week. For the record it is 65 degrees here with a beautiful clear blue sky.
I just picked up Golf Story for my Switch and am very glad I did.
You know... I've been subscribed for so long, I just realized... Arlo is a blue muppet. He is so eloquent and has such a good personality, you kinda just forget about it.
Definitely beautiful outside here in Houston.
I was just out soaking up some sun.🌞
Great video, the Switch has a bright future, I have a very strong feeling Nintendo is in a mood to continue to really surprise us.
Expect some big announcements at the top of 2018.😉
Keep it Gaming!✌
Video doesn't start. Anyone else?
Saw the word "discussion" expected this to be 1hr long and have Andre and Derek as guest lol
I can confirm that it is indeed a beautiful day outside.
Arlo, it's raining here. I'm not taking a walk in that.
I am so pumped for something similar to the Nintendo Switch Presentation from January. Well I hope there's coming one in January/December again with a great amount of titles coming to the Switch in 2018. The Directs are great but they are in my opinion, mainly for new smaller games or more information. I would love them to have a presentation like they did in January and announce all the new big things happening in 2018. Talking about online and maybe virtual console. More stuff about Yoshi and Kirby, and possible new announcements for the rest of spring and summer and some for Fall and Winter. Then more at E3, about the rest of 2018 and some trailers for 2019. Just the thought of watching everything unfold what they have planned for 2018 and kept us in the dark of not knowing what to come. Man that makes me excited.
I was in a huge storm when u said go outside...
I still went out though
The Octopath Traveler demo is AMAZING
2:12 Wii can’t fit super meat boy on the wii hehe
Ok I’ll go him now
So... are we ever getting another "Arlo Sings the Hits of"?
Doom, Wolfenstein and Octopath whenever it launches. I’m lookin so forward to all of them
Relatedly - Switch is on pace to generate the most software sales for any Nintendo system in North America (physical only) in it's launch year since software sales tracking began (I think that's 12 months rather than 'in the cullender year') and there are indies who are reporting that the Switch version of their titles have sold more copies than all other platforms combined. This thing is selling software, and was doing even during supply shortages of the hardware.
How come u didn't do a live stream of the Nintendo Direct a few weeks ago
Dammit, I was just about to go out into my poison gas-filled neighborhood for a leisurely stroll.
There are so many good games coming out I barely paid attention to the indies in fear of finding more good games
I'm a beautiful friend! You're a beautiful friend! We're all beautiful friends!
Man that final part hits different now
This is like the mustard in the bread of success yes the mustard of greatness
Where’s the Arlo update?
It actually is a beautiful day here today. 80 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny and there is a nice breeze. Maybe I will go out for a walk. Good call!
Seriously, the Switch is in a position to do amazingly well. Third party and Indie games thus far have been selling extremely well. I think it will only be a matter of time before more big third parties start showing up. I think Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 will even make the jump to the Switch after Square Enix said they were looking into bringing FFXV via the Unreal Engine 4. Since FF7R and KH3 are already built in Unreal Engine, half of the work is already done.
What is that music for the warning at the beginning?
It's currently raining...right now..........I'm not going outside
The point you made about Isaac was amazing, when I got my switch I was going to go buy Mario kart. And I was looking then I saw Isaac. I always meant to buy that game but I wasn't much of a pc gamer. So I saw the opprutunity and got it. Mostly because there wasn't much out like you said
Actually Binding of Isaac came out on 3DS, there wasn't any issue over the religious themes, that rumour stems from McMillan doing an april fools post over it. There was some discussion a while back though on how they were going to bring it to the system with the system hardware being so old - without making compromises it would have run poorly.
I'm REALLY hoping the Switch version of Skyrim, DOOM 2016, and Wolfinstin 2 do well because it will hopefully encourage more 3rd party devs to jump on the system. You're completely right Arlo, the Switch needs as many good 1st and 3rd party games as possible as soon as possible to prevent it from completely fizzling out in 1 to 2 years like the Wii did.
I want Darksiders 3 so badly. Those first two helped make the Wii U years bearable
