Plot twist: that intro was made only to comply with COPPA
I thought the same damn thing
I mean, I love Arlo as it is, but can you imagine him overhauling his image as a hardcore, nail biting hardboiled character XD
If it works it works
Beat me to it...
COPPA sucks
So fun fact. By the time the Sticker Star backlash happened, they had already been heavy in development of Color Splash. The moment they finished developing that one, they went right into the Wii U game. By the time they realized that people hated the formula, they were probably too far in to want to scrap it. That’s probably why they didn’t even attempt to fix anything after its initial release. They just kind of accepted its fate and just moved on
That makes a LOT of sense... And it was a wiiU game, so it probably wasn't worth delaying production, and thus increasing the budget for a game that didn't have enough machines to run it on out there to make it a hit, anyway.
That does make sense.
By the Time the Wii U released and Color Splash feasibly went into production.
It makes it likely that by the Mid-Way point they just said screw it and decided to take the backlash.
Maybe, this is why it's taking so long for a new Paper Mario game? They're busy trying to make it as good as possible.
@@ballzcorps5146 I certainly hope so. Mario RPG's have been going down in quality for some time now. Hopefully they will keep making something more. Even if they don't go back to the original formula, hopefully they do something that actually works well
@@ballzcorps5146 i hope your correct
in my opinon i better see huey talking about this video IN THE GAME
(like that's gonna happen...)
There was four year between sticker star and color splash. They had plenty of time to change things.
Color Splash 3 years later...3 years later
i came back for this very comment
Now 4 years later for ppl in 2024
I’m baffled by how much genuine fear I could see in the arlo puppet in that ending
Noah Vining puppet?
Noah Vining What puppet? That’s Arlo. A blue furry man.
Who's gonna tell him
Arlo is a sentient being. Not a PUPPET
I found it hilarious how he could convey that much emotion
The sound of the computer closing was so meaty, I wasn’t ready for that
Felt so good.
You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?
**smeck**
“meaty”
Spockbaca exactly
ngl I went back and replayed it a few times for the asmr
"well if we add toadsworth then we'd have to give EVERY toad a name!"
but the toads in paper mario *did* all have names...
Yep. Back when they had names. In the first two.
My favorite Color Splash Toad is *squints* Blue Key Toad.
My favorite toad in super paper mario is toad because he *was* the only toad in the game
My favorite toad in PM was the one in Sticker Star that had red dots on his head
They weren't really names. They were descriptions
Nothing like "Tayce T." or "Russ T."
Just "Blue Toad", and such.
Somebody has to watch the castle ;)
So Arlo, I have a 10 year old that loves watching you’re videos. Our family loves your channel, including my 10 month old. I usually have your videos on in the background while we read books, cook, play and do chores. But the opening to this specific video scared the crap out of the baby. He stopped playing and just stared. The tears started coming so I scooped him up and ran away to another room in the house. All so you wouldn’t be scary to him. It was hilarious. Just wanted to share my dumb little story and let you know that all ages love you.
how wholesome
@@polymerwario WHOLESOME BIG CHUNGUS KEANU MOMENT !!!!!
awwh hah
Just read the comment and immediately had to watch the intro again while thinking about how that scared the live donkey bongas out to a little kid somewhere at some point. This is hilarious.
@@spimbles Don't be rude about it
Arlo: is sad because paper Mario isn’t good anymore. Also Arlo: Gets his channel because of it. *Ive won but at what cost*
And in the end it was all worth it 😊
It was a hell of a bargain.
TTYD SWEEP RAAAAA
The opening sequence was really technically impressive.
How's that? It's just a blue dude walking around his apartment...
@@Jecht81 He wasn't blue... He was
_Monochrome_
@@Jecht81 To clarify what I mean, I was impressed by the puppeteering work in creating a performance where you can really feel arlo's trepidation. That combined with excellent camera work to create mood. Arlo must have had someone to help him with all this. I know we try not to bring up the fact that Arlo is a puppet and not really as we see him, for various reasons. But I wanted to acknowledge that a lot of excellent work went into that sequence. Much more than if a regular non puppeteered youtuber did a similar sequence.
@@slochedplays9585 What??? Are you saying Arlo isn't real??????
@Critical Triangle But but but imma least 5...
Arlo: Too much color isn't COPPA compliant
Also Arlo: _Perfect time for a _*_color splash_*_ video!_
I think that was the point he was trying to make by making it
Monochrome Arlo was terrifying
Now or never, right?
Not anymore, they changed the rules to be less strict

5:16 - 5:24 "It's like writing a bunch of books that go nowhere, & then writing a book about how sad you are, & _that's_ the one that makes you famous!"

Welp, who else came back to watch this after the trailer for Paper Mario: The Origami King?
Josiah Ball me
I’m just here because I’m bored
So what's everyone's opinion on the game so far? It looks great, I like the story, but I haven't seen enough of the battle mechanics to form an opinion on them
Yup
@Baron Butt No, they aren't connected in any sort of timeline sense. You're good.
In this episode: Arlo gives an excellent reason why he shouldn't have taken down his "Pikmin for 3DS Hurts Me" video.
Interesting.
Yeah, imagine how many more YTP would be made
Cinnamon Noir he really shouldn't have. Even if someone uploads a video that's just pure ranting...let them be lol...people sometimes care way to much about other people's opinions on something.
He took that video down?
Arthur
Arlo ytps.
They exist?
*HellRay*
Yep, and for some reason they’re all about the Hey, Pikmin video.
The cinematography of that into sequence was beautiful.
Yeah i hope he will do more things like that
I've played every Mario RPG. Intelligent Systems, Alphadream, even Squaresoft's Mario RPG on the Super Nintendo. If there was a Mario RPG I was THERE. I loved how they took Mario's simple, fun world and expanded on it so hardcore fans could really have something to sink their teeth into. Sticker Star seemed like a placeholder until a "true console Mario RPG" came along, but instead we got Color Splash and I was heartbroken. The Mario & Luigi series is in trouble now that Alphadream's gone bankrupt. It makes me feel like Mario RPG's, once a Nintendo staple, may cease to exist entirely. Maybe they will.
But I ain't giving up hope...
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT METROID PRIME 4 BAYBEEEEEEEEEEEE
Maybe the next Paper Mario is a normal RPG again. The only reason why they changed it is because Mario & Luigi and Paper Mario were to similar
Nintendo got the rights to M&L so they are most likely going to make a new one (hopefully they wont ruin it as the reason they ruined PM was because they wanted M&L to be the core RPG games)
Have you played the fan games
So basically, wait 15 years or so.
@@H1ghland1 is there fan games?
That opening was TERRIFYING!!! The only 360 game I could clearly make out was "Singularity"?!? Truly the stuff of nightmares...
“I did not have fun, I did nooooot- Oh hey Pikmin!”
I've never even seen the Room but this is hilarious
Hey Pikmin for the Nintendo 3DS?!?!?!

Also Arlo in 2036: They never Remastered Thousand Year Door
i don't find that funny
i kind of feel bad for him
The pain is just too real.
There is just too much that time cannot erase!
ok but fr tho
@@TKize777Which Arlo said this?
When you said go watch the review, I felt that. Most other yt’ers wouldnt say that because they hate their old videos. But you still hold yours up
You should do a Color Splash Three Years Later... Three Years Later...
And then in 3 more years we can have a Color Splash Three Years Later... Three Years Later... Three Years Later...

13:08 "Nary a character can open its mouth without the writers sticking some little gag in there."
That can be interpretative very differently depending on how you define "gag"
Hohoho I see some rule 34 stuff right here
the concept of arlo rule34 both scares and confuses me
"BLAGH! The game SHOWERS you with coins!"
Luigi's Mansion 3: *Sweats profusely*
To be fair at least the coins in Luigi's Mansion 3 has a purpose of being there since you're being ranked at the end of the game just like the first game.
Luigi’s mansion 3 is beautiful
At least in Luigi's Mansion 3 getting a bazillion coins A. Feels awesome when you suck em all up and B. Helps you get a better rank.
Luigis Mansion 3 is a lot better than Dark Moon.
The coin showers in LM3 serve the purposes of instilling a sense of accomplishment, allowing for the creation of clever setpieces with the power of the Switch, and teaching the physics to players by encouraging them to experiment with the destructible environments and individual objects.
Color Splash Three Years Later... Three Years Later...
The problem you were describing about the cards being the worst of both worlds is 100% on point.
I'm the RPG gamer who saves consumables like each one is the Holy Grail. I also hate manual looting in most games. And inventory management is the worst. Color Splash Frankensteins these together into some sort of endless nightmarish loop of gathering, sorting, using and losing that leaves me cold, shivering and dead inside.
It's the Chain of Memories problem.
"it's been three years..." Arlo: Breath of the Mario.
Arlo...
Arlo.... wake up...
oh shit oh fuck he has his airpods in he can't hear us
@@Dark0neone 😂
It's been 3,000 years. ArloZ X and Y.
“It’s been three years...” and Arlo has finally upgraded from a chromebook
I'm reading on a Chromebook
@Foxy356 problem, schools use all there funding/majority on tech, as in most are used on Chromebooks ._.
@sebbe Cheaper, easier to manage, productivity software is dirt cheap, breeze to add more to the inventory for less money, and easier to replace if broken (no need to train an IT staff or send boxes of the things to a Louis Rossman).
sebbe Nothing can be downloaded onto a chrome book and ran which means the school doesn’t have to pay for a good proxy/antivirus software
My boyfriend is a diehard Chromebook fan and I have (over time) started to get it. They're integrating (sorry if that's the wrong word) Linux more and more so you can use steam and play low intensity games which is fine for most people. Chromebooks are incredibly fast and snappy, and stay fast for so much longer. If the vast bulk of your computer usage is browsing, in the Google ecosystem, or available as an app, Chromebooks are actually awesome and most average people who spend thousands on the best machine would be fine with a much cheaper chromebook (my dad has a surface, mum a MacBook pro, both as overpowered word processers and Netflix machines)
That said I love my XPS 13 to death and couldn't imagine getting a Chromebook until the Linux functionality is comparable to the experience of using Windows. My bf is a bit of an early adopter in that regard.
I just don't get why they didn't make another franchise. It's clear they like the format, they think it's quirky and worth ignoring backlash, if they just had this series take the "Paper" name and they provided the traditional series with a new format like the Yakuza games I doubt there'd be so much hostility
I mean ttyd remake so theyre returning to form it seems
I honestly couldn't agree more. Since they decided to effectively rewrite Paper Mario's identity, we now exist as a divided fanbase. While I personally am very excited for the TTYD remake, I still worry that no matter what direction the series takes, some portion of the fanbase won't be happy about it. They've put the series in this awkward situation where it will be very difficult for them to please everyone.
Arlo it's a month past Halloween, and yet this is the most fearful I've been all year
Coppa? Yeah me too, buddy..
@Kono Mono Coppa, problably
Gotta comply with Coppa, can't be child friendly.
For some reason, watching Arlo casually and silently using a laptop made me laugh.
Especially with that sound!
**smek**
“BLAAAAAAA!”

Arlo, remember when you said something along the lines of "just tell your favorite creators you appreciate their work"? Well, I appreciate your work and the entertainment and information you provide. I love you, you blue furball.

Just made a review 6 months later
You guessed correctly he did
It's been three years, and Paper Mario is still dead
Every direct I get my hopes up, and then get extremely disappointed
I say keep it that way if SS/CS is the direction the series is going.
All the Mario rpg's are dead.
Well, I'm not exactly dead. But the doctors have me on life support, so maybe your right
It's kinda funny how both Mario RPG series completely imploded, and for entirely different reasons.
Super Paper Mario wasn't like the first two and while it got a lot of hate from some, it still has a big fan base and is very convincing in the story aspect. Just goes to show what Color Splash could've been if they put as much love into the mechanic design as they did with the graphic design.
It also has to do that Super Paper Mario at least continues the charm and lore of the first two Paper Mario games. Literally the only thing it's holding mostly back is that Super is change from RPG to Platformer that acts like RPG. But it still feels like a true continuations from the first two games, while Sticker Star and Color Splash change too much in a bad way to the point they feel like a completely different series.
@@retrofan4963 Exactly, they still carry the same spirit
Super Paper Mario is weird and different, but fun and great.
"It's almost entirely devoid of any real personality" works for Sticker Star but it is also how I'd describe Sword & Shield. The complete lack of strategy is the same as in Color Splash, the game plays itself. Style over substance, you're describing the current pokémon with every sentence. I almost wish you were as much into pokémon as you are into Paper Mario so you could give a review of this level to the pokémon switch games too, most people that give them honest reviews are accused of being toxic or haters of gamefreak.
Nintendo: "We have Fire Emblem and Xenoblade now, all our other JRPGs can either die or become baby games to create little future FE and XB consumers."
Finally someone brings this up.
I couldn't agree more. Doesn't help that Mystery Dungeon, who had that "Paper Mario but for Pokemon" charm, also died out. Paper Mario is stuck between the main Pokemon games scenario where it's lifeless but still continuing, and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon scenario where it's dead even though it hasn't really left with full closure and would be still charming with a new game.
Yet everyone only talks about how PM is in that middle ground, because main Pokemon still gets showered in praise no matter what they do and PMD is just flat out dead with barely any flame of hope for it left in the fans.
@@autobotstarscream765 Nintendo didn't even make Color Splash or Sword and Shield though. Maybe blame Intelligent System and Game Freak instead of pointing the finger at Nintendo for something that didn't even make.
@@extremmefan7305 Hey, at least Mystery Dungeon has hope. It helps that even the worst game (which, IMO, was Gates to Infinity) was still a great time.
@@tastethepainbow "Hope"? What "hope"? If a long-time spinoff is killed at a certain generation we know that it won't come back anytime soon.
Happened with Rangers, happened with PokePark… PMD is also still niche to the point where no amount of demand would make them consider the idea of making a new one that'd actually sell as much as they'd want to.
Ok I know everyone says how colorsplash sold bad because it wasn't what fans wanted, but you also have to look at the fact it came out on the Wii U and close to the end of its life a dying console that was literally on its way out nobody thinks that could have affected sales too
This is why they need to release a ttyd remaster, they can see how beloved that gameplay style an type of game is, then people who never tried it get to play an ofcourse it would sell out the ass since the switch is popular
@@solidillusion8008 yeah I have never played ttyd but I would love to
it's funny
we spent so long watching nostalgia critic videos ten years ago that we really couldn't process just how bad he was at filmmaking
the first 90 seconds of this video show a real grasp of cinematography, composition and atmosphere that was just never in those old videos
i demand an arlo movie
nah it was always pretty easy to spot how shit nostalgia critic was at everything he did
I was young, and didn't have enough of a grasp on cinematography or... quality... to work out it was garbage content
@spigui500 That’s a very scary statement you have there.
To be safe from youtube COPPA regulations, Arlo will start his next video with a low-framerate explosion, fading to reveal his blue furry hand pointing a gun towards the camera. He remembers Pikmin 3DS so you don't have to.
Well that's just... What?
Well if we're just going to go on about whatever I'll recommend
"Boney plays Resident Evil 3 Nemises Great Wall of Critic"
Not even just because it make fun of him, it's just a nice funny video I hope will get you to watch more Oney Plays videos. He'll make you shake your belly like a bowl full of jelly.
“Lets open up this old wound”
Are you okay?
Im concerned
What?
"Let's open up this old wound"
"Who hurt you?"
"Color Splash."
@Bold One That would be very complicated without having the source code and/or digital tools created for modding that specific game. You might be able to change some things more easily, such as maybe injecting some code that changes paint scraps to allow you to use them to upgrade hp or max paint, but even that wouldn't be super easy. Depending on how the game's data is structured, we may be looking at something near impossible. Now if it was on PC it would probably be much easier as you could likely use a program like Cheat Engine to inject code in conjunction with Lua scripts to edit the game. Even then it'd be a lot of time and effort, and would likely have to be done by a team of REALLY passionate fans... And then Nintendo would shut the project down and we'd be unable to play it anyway. XD
It’s ok Arlo, Color Splash can’t hurt you anymore. You can calm down.
Then, 6 months later...

@@mrtanaka475 Ok thanks
What i loved about the previous Paper Mario games (64, Thousand Year Door, and yes, even Super) is the fact they have so many memorable moments, are in general very fun to play, and all have gripping storylines. I find myself going back and replaying them every now and then.
Sticker Star, Color Splash, and even Origami King unfortunately don't have those levels of charm. I've played all of them through to the end, but even i can't bring myself to even try a new playthrough of any of them. They have a few good parts/story beats scattered throughout (color spalsh and origami king anyway), but the bad outweighs the good and i just can't get back into them.
This vid is old and this comment section, but goddamn I hope The Thousand Year Door remake sells like hot cakes and Nintendo pays close attention to those unit numbers and finally realizes what exactly made longtime fans fall in love with this franchise. Cause after the remake, we really need to see a return to form sequel, or an adaptation of Paper Luigi's quest to save Princess Eclair.

Senior Shrek Hella original there, sure nobody else has ever done this before?
o yeah the ending, its been a while since Arlo talked about hey pikmin.
I keep saying, if they just released a direct sequel to TTYD - no gameplay overhauls, no major changes to the core system - and just changed up the story and characters, I would deem it a greater entry than Sticker Star and Color Splash combined.
Innovative ideas are great and all, but you don't have to fix what isn't broken in the first place
The suggestion I keep throwing around, that I still consider to be the best of both worlds, is, since the story of Super Paper Mario wraps up so neatly with all the bad guys either redeemed or unreachable, to have a sequel to TTYD with all the characters from both TTYD and Super Paper Mario as party members. The game could start with Mario getting back home from SPM’s universe, and being told he and his old and new friends had work to do. Since the weirdness of SPM’s playstyle came from the “other dimension” aspect of it, the mechanics and gameplay would be akin to TTYD. Then, you could have a postgame that could act like a story sequel to SPM, the story a lot of people loved but still felt somewhat unresolved. Boom, win-win.
The Illusionist Nintendo would never sell a game where playing another game was required to understand any of the initial characters...
Drageoks Llechtim Nintendo does what Nintendo do, man; I gave up trying to make rules for them a while ago. If they wanted it to happen, they could make it work.
Yeah but people always complain that series get stale and it's the same thing over and over again. If they take it upon themselves to change it, then I guarantee you that eventually people would complain.
@@thekirbyguy4576 true but if someone told me "do you want me to try a new mechanic with this game but the game end up super bad or you want me to make the game the same thing it's been for years but continue decent or good"

Arlo, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this content and how far you’ve come. The first video I saw of yours was the “lyrics” of ocarina of time songs video. That was four years ago. I was in high school. My, how time flies.
Arlo, you should really try Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling! It's an amazing indie game heavily inspired by the first two Paper Mario games, and it truly feels like an actual spiritual sequel to The Thousand Year Door!
I think he should give a peek during his freedom.
Good news. I am from the future, and he did indeed review it!
@@user-vj2nt7jf7z About to say that, but then noticed you did
He did and he liked it
it was his best game of 2020
The visual look of this game was fantastic!
I definitely want more of the papery style if they make another one, just more of the good story and combat
keep the Comedy
made me think of gumball
Fine. Despite not liking it myself, the papery art style can stay if that means we will get a good game again. However... REMOVE THE WHITE OUTLINES. PLEASE.
I can't stand the white outlines around the characters. It really makes me dislike the artstyle. The backgrounds look good, though.
Please play Bug Fables: The Everlasting Sapling. It's a charming indie game that encapsulates the visual style and mechanics of paper Mario while having great writing and adorable characters.
IronXCaliber Seriously the best game I’ve played in a long time, and I’m not even done with it
I've been trying to get Arlo to look into Bug Fables for three years now, and I've had no success. I'd literally buy him the game at this point just so that he could play it and hopefully give some exposure to it. But I can't find any way to actually get his attention.
Hopefully this post of yours gets some upvotes. Succeed where I have failed.

@@parkerargyle4112 I found the tweet, and... The fact that he's not sure if he's going to talk about the game is really weird to me.
Like, what? It's a really good game, after a style of game that he clearly wants, and it would greatly benefit from the promotion. Is his Nintendo bias so great that the fact it's missing the Mario coat of paint enough to make him not want to discuss it?
I appreciate that he at least knows of the game but I can't fathom why he's so quiet about it.
@The SNES Man You should. There, three now.

Arlo: let’s take a look back Nintendo: let’s not
You could say that, or his comment, "It's like Nintendo just didn't care" about everything they released in 2016. Star Fox Zero, Pokken Tournament, Paper Mario, Rio Olympics, and yes, I'm going to say it! Twilight Princess HD all felt like half hearted projects kicked out the door just so there would be something, ANYTHING, until the Switch released.
Watching all these videos are really helping to keep the boredom away while stuck at home. So well done & great even rewatching 😄
I actually really enjoyed this game. I thought the writing was clever enough and funny enough to carry me through the gameplay. The story was pretty original too. The combat system was flawed, but the overall gameplay of filling in colorless spots was extremely satisfying to me. Not a perfect game by any means but I still really enjoyed my time with it.
My feelings exactly, well said
Exactly - it was better than Sticker Star (although an improvement of that game _probably_ wasn't the direction they should've gone with).
PowerPancake499x Completely agree. My dream Paper Mario game would be a combination of the story of Super Paper Mario, and the gameplay of Thousand Year Door.
I honestly agree. I even had some fun with the combat. This is a truly underrated game.
Now that I think about it, that would actually be really great - you get the best of both worlds that way. All that's left is the HD visuals of Color Splash (although it doesn't have to all be paper).
I can still hear Arlo whispering in my ear.....

"hyrule has come to ruin"
I haven't played the game or anything but since you started talking about the origins of this channel, I just wanted to say that I love your videos! Your concept of the blue monster is a great solution to staying anonymous while keeping it fun for us. The reviews are great: you are honest, say original things and make me think about games I thought differently about. Keep the good work up! Thanks:)
A random comment to this video but I truly appreciate all you do. Your content truly has an impact. Thank you!
Arlo be like
"My disappointment is unmeasurable... and my day is ruinned..."
Review brah lmao
0:00 - 1:28 "Maybe if I'm a horror muppet, COPPA will leave me alone! D: "
And it comes full circle, Arlo's Color Splash video was the first of his I saw and immediately subbed. Keep up the excellent work you blue furred delight.
Loving the face time you've been giving, Arlo! You have such a way with facial expressions!
"Color Splash's unpleasant parts are WORSE than I remember!"
Aaahh, what a sweet sound that soothes my soul
...man, do I despise this game to an unhealthy degree.
I wanted to enjoy it but I really couldn't. (And some people seem to think that we'd hate on it on purpose but I'm not spending money on anything just to hate on it.) Sticker Star was the ultimate crushing disappointment though.

@@poison4822 From playing the first 3 games (though I played TTYD first), I absolutely loved the story, the unique and memorable characters, the humour, the emotions, the sidequests and the little quirks. I felt absolutely none of that in Sticker Star and only a bit of it in Colour Splash.
Sticker Star in particular felt like a New Super Mario Bros. game without a timer and those games eventually became bland through repetition and little creativity. The game also had a very pointless and frustrating battle system - seriously, there is no need to battle at all. There was pretty much no unique characters; 99% of them were Toads with no distinguishing features and I find that especially galling considering the first game on the N64 had a wide variety of characters that weren't just Toads. Where's the friendly Koopas, the friendly Boos, the friendly Goombas?
I know Mario games aren't considered the greatest stories ever but I do feel the Mario RPGs offer very good ones outside of the usual "Save Peach!" routine. Mario had to save the Star Spirits in the first one, Mario had to collect the Crystal Stars, discover what the 'treasure' was and stop Grodus in the second and in the third game, the whole party had to prevent the multiverse from being erased. They made me laugh, made me emotional, made me happy. I get that from the Mario & Luigi series too and that's my favourite for so many reasons. But from Sticker Star and Colour Splash, I felt none of it. Sticker Star had pretty much no story (certainly not on previous PM levels) and while Colour Splash did have better writing, it still lacked the developed world of those earlier games.
I want to stress that I don't want to hate the games and I never wanted to be disappointed by them because wishing for such things is frankly idiotic; why would I deliberately waste money on something to hate upon it? But I have no love for the latter games at all.
(And yet I have a blossom of optimism. Nintendo has been a lot better with Mario recently; more expressive, more creative. Mario + Rabbids was a great, enjoyable surprise. I hope to see a full-fledged Mario RPG with partners and charm and heart again.)
Nobody:
Arlo: makes 30 minute dramatic video about paper Mario
Me: keep it up I love it

I just wish that Nintendo could put super paper Mario or ttyd on switch
Walther Penne ttyd is a fifteen year old GameCube game, the 3DS could probably run it.
@Walther Penne It requires more power than Oddesy and botw? Somehow, I highly doubt it.
M G the 3ds is just as powerful as the GameCube. The switch could probarly run it.

This is the best 2019 intro
THIRTY MINUTES?
I’M READY FOR THIS.
I love you @Arlo so much! You're videos are getting better and better!
The tone change in the beginning is just like in the origami king trailer
The game: You get a card! You get a card! YOU Get a Card!
EVERYBODY GETS A CARD!!!
Arlo you’re so handsome in black and white
Still waiting for Color Splash 3 years later 3 years later
WAKE UP, ARLO, PLEASE
0:00 Well at least there ain’t bright and vibrant colours!
That means you avoided another $42,000!
Great job Arlo!
I've only been watching you for a short time, but boy am I glad to have found you! Each of your videos are a joy to watch, and very entertaining! Thank you for what you do.
Hey I remember that video. I thought it was goofy that some guy was making video game content with a puppet. Since then you've cultivated a niche for yourself among a sea of content creators. I have been watching a lot of your videos in the last few days and I have to say I am impressed at the time and effort you put into your videos. Keep up the great work.
Arloo we did it!!!
The only thing that gives me hope for paper mario is the master quest mod as well as Bug Fables which is a spiritual successor to Paper Mario thats on steam.
I’m so happy I played this game before researching reviews. I really enjoyed it for what it was. Yea there’s flaws but I still found it entertaining. My son loved watching it.
