Yay
Adam sessler, I knew you would come
Yes I will buy raycons! I love you arlo
I will do anything... for arlo
Your videos are "WONDERFUL"
CRINGE SORRY
I love how this game fully leans into the surrealism of Mario's world. It's the perfect way to make 2D Mario fresh again.
HOW THE HELL DO YOU KEEP GETTING TO BE IN THE TOP COMMENTS?
@@sahaprocks7751 Perfect timing and the kind of comment(s).
I never realized how absurdist the series was until the Super Nintendo world opened up and my cousin who knows nothing about Mario and I went. That and the Mario movie, when it contrasted the mushroom kingdom with “Brooklyn”.
You kind of just grow up with it and it’s just so normal. I realize how weird the series is now, and I’m happy they’re doubling down on how unique it is.
I mean, fresh is a strong word if you've played yoshis island, but I can accept that game isn't the most accessible at this point.
It’s something I was hoping would happen so much after getting into the Wario Land series a few years back and enjoying how weird they could get, especially after how safe NSMB was. I wanted to see that kind of surreal strangeness in Mario itself
one other thing about this game is that nintendo imposed no deadlines on the developers so that they wouldnt say "we cant do that because we have a deadline to meet" so they could put as much creativity and polish into this game as possible. absolutely a day 1 purchase for me
Yeah the Pokémon company would benefit from this
If this s true we better get postgame levels. I’ve lost all faith in creativity in the gaming space anymore. Things like kingdom hearts 1 and 2 were amazing creative games then kh3 was clearly too much of “what do the gamers at home want” and putting themselves in a box. Nothing new, surprising, or creative anymore
Honestly why do we even need deadlines for games
@@V8chump why is post game levels necessary? Why can’t they put the creative stuff in the game itself?
@@captaincozmo8529money
The level design full of little gimmicks really makes you think about how much the devs were looking at the kinds of things that players were creating in Mario Maker. I feel like seeing the creativity of the different kinds of levels and gimmicks that people were able to create out of Mario lit a creative flame in them to explore and push the boundaries on what he's capable of even further.
We need troll levels in Wonder
@@thedreadpirateblacktooth5551No we don’t please no I’m begging
That’s what I was thinking.
@@thedreadpirateblacktooth5551 The return of the invisible blocks from Super Mario 2; The Lost Levels.
@@TrueLadyEvilChan don’t forget the pick the correct path sections from Super Mario Bros 2.
This very much feels like a response to Mario Maker 2 and the community support that got. It's like the Wonder devs decided to pull a Penn & Teller act and say: "Okay, we showed you how the magic works- now let's go ahead and fool you anyway"
To me it feels like they’ve made a huge list of everything that Mario Maker can do…
And everything it can’t do.
And they did both.
Raycon better be paying arlo out the ass for how much effort he puts into their sponsorships
I’m sure he’s making a killing… let’s not worry too much about the 1% lmao
Guy created an entire universe out of a black void.
Not as good as Big Money Salvia’s.
Probably a lot, considering they're actually fucking dogshit headphones
@@laggianputcitation
Patiently waiting for your September Direct reaction.........
I feel like Wonder is doing a lot of what World did: introduce a million new crazy things we haven’t seen from Mario before. Like if the New series is an evolution of Mario 3, Wonder is an evolution of World.
So well said.
The "New" series didn't evolve anything. Quite the opposite. It purposely went backwards, and simplified everything.
@@alibabaschultz352nope, it actually has the most movement options compared to older 2D marios, wall jumping, triple jumping, and air twirl
@@alibabaschultz352 Just objectively not true actually.
@alibabaschultz352 the only unimingitive thing about new is that they kept making the same games. It was innovative at first, the problem is that they stopped innovating
Super Mario World had such a cool map, I hope this game leans towards that.
Ok
okay
I want Nintendo to lean into crazy maps again. One of my favorite games is Donkey Kong Country 2, and that map goes places, from K. Rool's ship and final boss location of the first game as the starting area, lava land as just the second area, then Florida, a beehive in the first half with the other half being an amusement park, then a haunted forest, then a rustic castle, then K. Rool's helicarrier. There's been jokes/critiques for awhile now Mario 2d games have felt samey with worlds recently being grass/desert/beach/jungle/ice/sky/fire for some time, and now the DKC series always has jungles in its worlds, gimme a new Mario, DK, Kirby, anything that takes us for a ride again. I want a game where we go from Grass, to the inber city, to a cozy French Bistro, to Arabian Nights, to a powerplant, then a DMV owned by the bad guy, just get crazy and creative with it again, take me to places I wouldn't in a million years predict the next area will be.
They won't do that again because most people confuse quit at the woods in that game sadly and don't get to experience the other half of it
@@thedastone1939shut up you’re like 11
ARLO THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR HAS A REMAKE FOR SWITCH NOW!!!
Cannot wait for alro to upload his reaction to the direct
After MARIO MAKER I felt like 2d Mario was officially dead because the online community pretty much did everything that could be done with the old school format. Really happy to see the effort put in to make 2d Mario Special again!
For a long time I fell out of love with direct Mario titles. I missed the exploration of 3D Mario, and the 2D games felt so basic. But with Odyssey and now this, Mario feels... Well he feels like how it felt when I first picked up SM64 back in the day. When gaming was still a magical experience for me.
Tbh I never felt like Mario Maker was a good replacement for 2D Mario games to begin with since not everyone likes making levels and the games aren’t as accessible for casual gamers as the normal 2D games are, plus a lot of the levels that you’re likely to find are either poorly designed or too difficult for some people. Not to mention most of the fun in Mario Maker is locked behind an online subscription that won’t last forever. If Mario Maker is going to exist, then regular 2D Mario games should exist alongside it imo.
SMW Rom hacks also push great boundaries with creative ideas too!
That game forced them to be creative, I like that
Most of Mario best games are 2D..
Odeysee felt boring at times. Sure the graphics was good but it felt too puzzling...
Mario games aren't known for puzzle levels except for paper Mario
quietly waiting for Arlo to show his TTYD remaster reaction LMAO
Mario's years of collecting and consuming special mushrooms have finally caught up with him: The Game
😂
The whimsical nature of the game is truly wonderful and the fact that it didn’t have a deadline is really amazing. Goes to show that the developers truly put love and passion behind this game. I will be buying it day one. Eagerly anticipating it
you never know you should wait and see it its as good as they say
@@radu9944i would say that this is one of those games is fun just by seeing it.
Waiting room for arlos reaction
arlo giving his nephews the keychains is very wholesome
so we're all hear waiting for arlo's reaction to the direct
The one thing I’m most excited about: NO TIMER
I’ve been counting down the days for a video where you outright say you feel better regarding your neck and the operation. I’m so relieved now I’m glad your healing. Tbh I’ve dealt with close ones getting sick and it getting either worse before getting better or not better at all. I’m just relieved arlo. I’m glad I can still watch all your sick videos
I bet there’s gonna be a cool fire level, where you’ll have to use the elephant’s trunk to put fires out
Seems like a cool idea, it could be simmilar to the Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze one - where you're putting out fires in the jungle
14:08
"The whole game is just filled with..."
Wonder?
"...surprises."
Oh.
I’m glad I’m not the first one that came here for TTYD remake😂
I was already excited to play this game but now my hype levels are off the charts
Same
same
I mean…. Everyone who’s made a video like this are the biggest Nintendo fanboys. They’d give this review for SMBU deluxe when it came out…. And that game plays like crap
idk that you watch enough Arlo my friend. he isn't afraid to be critical of Nintendo @@V8chump
@@V8chump You should of actually watched Arlo’s review for NSMBU Deluxe before making this comment.
I'm totally fine with just having video game levels, but if they can make the map more interesting than more power to them. In fact this game, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Sonic Superstars make me so happy that we're getting just normal platformers again, instead of just big sandboxes full of _immersion~_
Those aren't bad, to be honest.
@@jameslawrenson1208 I never said they were. They're just not my taste, so it's been a little disappointing to see the latest two Zeldas, Mario Odyssey and Bowser's Fury, Sonic Frontiers and the latest three Pokemon games all going the open world route.
But I know I'm in the minority there, especially with Elden Ring adding fuel to the open world craze. So many game of the year winners are big open worlds and I'm sure TOTK will get it this year.
Very weird to talk down on Odyssey like this, especially considering how long fans were waiting for the sandbox Mario formula to return. Or was the 15 year gap between Sunshine and Odyssey completely forgotten?
@@Yohoat Very weird to think they are talking down on Odyssey.
It really isn't though Odyssey isn't anything remotely like Sunshine, it is so open it forgoes level design.
This leads to the world feeling amazing or like crap depending on how you understand the movement.
@@Yohoat I wasn't talking down Odyssey at all, don't know where you got that conclusion, or why you felt the need to isolate Mario to make that point.
The point I was making was that Odyssey was one of many recent Nintendo games that focus on sandbox exploration. "Freedom like you never knew" doesn't ring as strongly when BOTW came out earlier that same year and had far more freedom.
If anything I liked Odyssey more because it had a mostly linear sequence of world maps.
This game probably single-handedly made water levels bearable with that swim dash badge lol. I am so excited for the badge system in this game.
I can't wait to see your reaction!!!!
I think Yooka Laylee & The Impossible Lair had the best "overworld map with a bunch of secrets everywhere" I've ever seen in a game. Very fun to explore.
THE THOUSAND YEAR DOOR IS GETTING AN HD REMAKE.
I honestly never cared much for promotions in the video and stuff, but this story Arlo has created with the Raycon stuff just makes me want to see what happens next. lol
I do appreciate that you were able to give us this much information without giving away a single plot point. I hate spoilers.
You care for the plot?
Since when has any 2D Mario had a proper plot lol
2:12 the thought of Arlo being this blue monster man driving is funny to me.
I noticed that their jump animations are just... chef's kiss. Especially Mario's. His jump looks near-exact to his jump animation from the OG Super Mario Bros. game. Also, apparently the death animations are a bit reminiscent to Super Mario World. Sudden stop when they turn to face the player with wide-eyed shock or grimace, then they stay upright while flailing their arms and legs as they fly up and fall off the bottom of the screen.
Super Mario Wonder is what I've always wanted a 2D Mario to be my entire life. It feels like a true step forward from the classics.
Arlo, I am SO happy for you that you can play Wonder! So happy! I’ll wait until Christmas to get my physical copy.
Indeed 2D mario's been overdue for an update for a while now they just kept cranking out the NSMB games and they weren't terribly different from one another. but Wonder 100% seems like it's the refresh the 2D series has needed. I like the badge system (but I didn't know about the part you have to earn them, but totally makes sense.) Looking forward to playing it when it releases next month!
ARLO THOUSAND YEAR DOOR REMASTER VIDEO NEEDED
Arlo is gonna be MIFFED when he sees todays announcement.
Glad you're feeling better, Arlo! I'm so glad you got to play this game! 😁😁
If Arlo- a not-so-much-of-a 2D mario fan- is heavily impressed with Wonder, then you know it's a banger game.
I cannot wait for this game!!! Great video as usual arlo. ❤
Same here!
God this is the best a 2d mario game has looked in years!! the new super mario games were cool when they first came out but after almost 10 years and every 2d game has mainly been like that including both mario maker games this looks so fresh and amazing.
So happy you were able to play! Aaah so excited to as well!
And can't wait for a full review one day 😆
I find it surprising that a monster like Arlo got to officially play Super Mario Bros Wonder BEFORE RELEASE. I wish I could be as lucky as him, but alas. Probably something against Wario.
I'd love a fully interactive world map like Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair. The map was equally as fun to explore as the levels it contained!
They could have even made the world like a puzzle like The Impossible Lair but you solve it with badges and puzzling skills.
I can't imagine how the speedrunning community will adapt to the wonder flower if the effects are actually random lmao
It is probably a different but consistent effect each level
I'm pretty sure the random element of the Wonder Flower is that it changes each level it's in in a way that is different from other levels, so replaying the same level twice would have the same Wonder Flower effects, but the next level changes the effects
They aren’t random though
they're not random, each level has its own effect.
I'm convinced that this inevitable Pikmin 4 video is going to be multiple parts 2 hours long videos each that are going to put the breath of the wild mega deep dive review that Arlo did back when his channel began to shame.
Everyone is loving wonder. We are in for a treat
Super Mario World was my first game when I was 3 and a half. Now Mario Wonder will be my sons first video game when he is three and a half years olds.
i really like the clay aesthetic of pikmin and miss it and the pikmin font in 4
I love holding down the sprint button while not moving it makes Mario
Look like he’s ready for battle
I can't wait for arlo to make a video on the paper mario remake. I know I've been waiting as long as he has for this beautiful remake
I cannot wait to see his reaction from todays Nintendo direct, it's gonna be great!
right??
Switch 2 is going to be pretty impressive considering how far mobile processors have come. Hell iphones running RE4 is pretty crazy.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder looks great it’s the innovative fresh take 2D Mario needed.
the new game looks way cooler than the old 2d games I also like the voice acting of the flowers
Arlo PAPER MARIO TTYD IS COMING!!!
Arlo, we won.
listening to a guy speak passionate about Mario is great day in my book. Feels like only nintendo can do these extreme changes in their flagship franchises than not only draw in new players but are not alienating experienced ones
Jumping up the same wall is a staple of the 3D Mario’s so im glad it’s here. In sunshine you had flud after a walljump, in Galaxy you had the spin to drift back, and in odyssey and now the new 3D world, you can turn around and dive back toward the wall you jumped off of. It’s a really important mechanic
Oh the next few days gonna be good 🍷
I love how you hit the bullseye on Nintendo getting their creative mojo juices going and going to town on this title. They really shined bright based on gameplay and just letting the player be as interactive and surprised by what a 2D platform could do. Finally! Something akin to the Super Mario World game.
Demo was great! It was difficult at times for slower players to keep up, they'd die off screen so when playing with multiple people keep that in mind. The Camera focuses on one player and I forget how it decides which one to focus on.
I couldn’t find the demo
Im glad theyre still doing 2d Mario. A lot of the levels in Mario Maker felt like they played themselves, or otherwise didn't have the same charm as the older 2d Marios. Granted i really liked the puzzle levels, but too many people didnt like those.
Mario 1-3 and World are a different series than anything that has come since. I’ve been waiting for this long-abandoned series to finally get the sequel it needs. I’m hoping this is it.
ARLO THOUSAND YEAR DOOR REMAKE!!!!!
As someone who has always bee pretty bad at standard platformers, the badges' effectiveness are really what my entire experience is riding on. I hope that there's a badge that allows you to hover at the same altitude like you could with Peach in 3D World because that would make this so much more fun
Arlo... watch the direct...
You cant go wrong with Mario with a twist
A very big twist 🐘
A. these devs are itching to make a mario rpg (praying)
B. a New Game+ option with all the badges would be nuts for speedrunning, excited for that
Three words: thousand…year…door 🙃
Glad to hear it! I pre ordered it and can't wait to try it!
Hey, Arlo, I'm really glad to hear you're feeling better again! ^^ That's awesome, you've got this, get well soon!
omg Arlo's going to lose his mind when he sees that Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is being ported to the Switch with enhanced graphics. How could Arlo miss doing a live reaction to the Nintendo Direct with that in it? As soon as I heard the news I came looking to see his reaction. :)
I’m so excited, I really hope it’s atleast challenging to an extent
I can tell from like the snippets of gameplay footage that they took some inspiration from fanmade levels in mario maker, can't see what other fun and wacky stuff this games got in store.
The art style feels like a cross between Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World, I was sold the moment I saw that we were finally leaving the plastic, child-cartoon feel 2D Mario has had since the Wii. I've had fun with New Mario Bros but this looks much more like Mario to me. Animations look so slick too, Mario is supposed to have just a dash of crude, adolescent humor that has been airbrushed out for too long. Man I'm excited for this one. What a year for video games.
That wall jump movement is a game changer. Movement is INCREDIBLY important for me as a gamer, and I LOVE mechanics like that 😍
I cannot wait to get Super Mario Bros Wonder it looks so much fun to play and also well you also gotta talk about the Nintendo Direct since it's happening this week so you better talk about that since everyone is
TTYD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Small thing but I already can't wait for this style to be in Mario Maker 3. I still hope they add 1 more retro style (or ideally, leave the old styles behind and add like 4 new ones: 3d World can stay, then Yoshi's Island, Wonder and idk Mario Sunshine or Galaxy or Odyssey or something), but really, even 1 new style and some extra power ups in the old styles does a tonne.
This game starts a new era in the Mario franchise!
When you started explaining how the badges work, my excitement for this game shot through the roof!
I don't know if it will hit the same polish as Rayman Legends for me, but I am very interested in Wonder just for finally changing the 2D Mario Formula
WAHOOO, IT'S GOOD!
Sooooo uh……… that Paper Mario TTYD HD remake, Arlo………… how you holding up?
Interactive elements on the map is why I like Super Mario Bros. 3's maps slightly more than Super Mario World's maps, it's also something I really liked about Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair. Hopefully Super Mario Bros. Wonder's map's will be just as involved.
Arlo reaffirming that he's not that big into 2D platformers in general again makes me curious about his thoughts on Wario Land, since he said he wants a new Wario Land instead of a new WarioWare. Really hope he eventually does a video on that.
Elephant bowser… I need it
Was one of the fortunate souls that went to Nintendo Live to play this game. While it was only for 15 mins, I had fun! This will be a hard game to put down, there's so much eye candy and animations that are feast for the eyes.
My biggest gripe with Nintendo Live were the crazy long lines, I didn't even get to get a merch as people reported being in line for two solid hours. I've waited in line for the concerts and photo ops, after PAX the day before my feet were done... and I was getting very hungry. PAX had concessions, Live did not and if you left you had to wait in line to get back in.
You know what game I would love to see get the Link's Awakening treatment, Super Mario Land 2. I played the heck out of that game as a child. Would love to see an HD version of that, with Color.
This is a small thing, but one of the things I liked seeing in the trailer was that you could kick shells upward like in SMW. SMW is my formerly favorite 2D Mario game, so seeing that feature show up outside of the SMW mode of Super Mario Maker 1 and 2 is something that makes me happy.
Edit: So I said "formerly favorite" because I think Wonder will become my new favorite :)
This is gonna put the NSMB series into shame. Everything from the different plot, to the evolution; yet still formulaic of the gameplay, the intriguing level designs, playing different characters, the challenge, etc. I hope this is how the future of 2D Mario games will take notes from.
Wonder if the Arlo clan all also has blue fur
I honestly didn’t know where Mario could go after Maker and this is like the best news ever to me
THOUSAND YEAR DOOOOOR
It honestly reminds me of all the fun I had with the 3DS Kirby games like planet robobot
seeing these explorable maps i really wish they did more with them. what if there is no longer a warp pipe in 1-2 but instead 1-2 is at this cliffs edge were after clearing the level stairs appear but if you explore the map you realize that there is a different way of getting up that is obscured by looking like something that is supposed to make the map look prety
this really feels like the first 2D Mario game that hasn't been phoned in since... what... Super Mario World? Super Mario Land 2? everything 2D since the New series first appeared on the wii has felt half-assed to me
…the New series first appeared on DS, and in what world was that one phoned in?
Hot take, I think New Soup DS is a more fun game than World.
The pirhana dancing was the most adorable thing 😭😭😭🧡
It’s the fresh innovation that 2D Mario needed can’t wait definitely going to pick up Super Mario Bros. Wonder!
