@@thod8820 I think every Link has jumped quite a bit. All 3D games allow jumping in one form or another and all 2D Links have had the ability to jump in atleast one game, right? So yeah, I think so. The only one I'm unsure of is Spirit Tracks Link. You know if he ever jumped?
The box part was hilarious! And thanks to Arlo's reaction at the end, we can finally confirm he is Cookie Monster's cousin. Nintendo's employees had their fun, great to see it.
@@jj2059 yes its about 5 ish hours on average to beat it from what ive seen, of course you can make that time quicker or longer depending on how you play and what all you want to accomplish. But with the randomly generated map each playthrough is unique and you could easily enjoy several playthroughs before getting tired of it, extending your playtime many times over.
This is the first time I’m happy to see arlo not go into spoilers, I really want to play this game but I haven’t been able to buy it yet.. thanks arlo!
Oh hey, I've already found out that the composer (Danny Baranowsky) behind this indie game was the same one who made music for Steambirds which I've enjoyed playing on Newgrounds and Armor Games back as a kid. So surprising and amazing.

what i like about your reviews Arlo, you don't spoil anything but at the same time help us understand what to expect from the game and help us understand what is the best way to see the game.
I downloaded this past sunday and played with a friend on co-op all afternoon until we finished it. It might take around 5 hours on your first playthrough, but replayability is really where this game shines. Totally love it, 10/10
Arlo, I just want you to know that I really just love you and your content. Your positive attitude and fun persona always keep me super entertained. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air and I get really excited when I see a new one pop up. Keep it up.
Working with Lennon’s got a similar gift. Thanks for your amazing review! I appreciate your balance of pro and con. You never just say it’s good or bad. You tell us what is good and bad. Thank you Arlo!
Fantastic. Thanks Arlo. Great review, as always! Also, thanks for including the unboxing of Nintendo's present to you. It made me so happy to see the tricks they played with the packaging and to see your genuine excited reaction to it. Can't wait for the review on those two games. You and Nintendo are awesome! :D
I don't even own a switch, but still watch this channel, as it is genuinely entertaining and refreshing to see someone genuinely passionate about games, while still being so positive and enthusiastic.
Hey Arlo, I haven't watched the video yet but I just wanted to thank you for doing all your reviews. It helps me decide if I should buy the game or not. I'm kind of wanting the new Spyro game on the switch, so when it comes out can you please do a review on it, it's ok if not just a suggestion. You make some of the best Nintendo videos EVER! Thank you for all your amazing videos. I am eternally grateful. (I like Toy Story, and that's a reference towards Toy Story 2 and 3, didn't know if you knew that, ok thanks for reading bye). Edit: Thanks for all the likes and feedback, It definitely helped.
I will say that I played it on the Xbox, and within the first few levels my muscle memory from back when I was a child playing the PS1 kicked in and I realized it controls exactly the same as the original. I would be baffled if the Switch version was really any different from the Xbox One or PS4 versions, at this point the Switch has basically the same button layout any other system does. I think its safe to trust other reviews already out on the remaster for this game in particular, though I will also add that as someone whose first console game was the first Spyro I am not preordering in case some major screwup happens andIwill wait at least a few days though I definitively plan on getting it. It is a great game I definitely recommend it.
Great review and that package unboxing was lots of fun! ^^ I've really been enjoying Cadence of Hyrule, it's so addictive to me. The music, the art style, the movement... I get sucked in and don't even realize how long I've been playing!
That bit at the end really made my day. I love when companies connect on such a personal level like that, which is why I predict they're gonna send Arlo a review copy of Metroid Prime 4. Whoever sent him that box obviously watches his channel -- how could they not send him one?
Bruuuuuh some serious romhackers could use this engine and create a epic handheld zelda title… I love this art style so much more then I did at links awakening … the pixels just melt my heart ngl
Azran127 people still play that game? (Not being sarcastic). I’m asking because I barely see videos for that game on UA-cam anymore. it’s like that game died as soon as it came out.
Some of the bosses felt too easy to me, like they were defeated before I got a chance to enjoy their theme songs. Especially Gleeockenspiel. Best theme, shortest battle.
Great review (although seemed kinda short compared to your normal review time). I totally agree that the price is pretty steep for a one -time playthrough. Your reviews are always great! You don't blindly gush like some other youtubers. You have good, constructive criticism and always do a great job conveying your thoughts!
Hey arlo you should review Dragon quest builders and its soon to release sequal dragon quest builders 2. Trust me you wont be putting it down until you finish it.
@@packers12to80 it's like minecraft but whit more resource management and some rpg element it's really hard to explain I recommend you try the demo on the eshop
It's pretty tight how you can appreciate a game that may not entirely be for you! Not many youtubers/game reviewers are able to seperate that fact. As someone who really likes games that allow a lot of freedom and meaty goodness, I'm glad you were able to bring up this games good points effectively
I found that playing through, the items that I used the most were bombs, arrows, goron bracelet, fire items, the rod that summons blocks, the boomerang to collect distant items, and the hookshot. The drum can also be really good for combat given it increased damage on the next turn
When the note said "Something you can farm" I almost lost my shit thinking it could be the new Animal Crossing. Stupid thought but my heart jumped for a moment.
Nice video! Oh, those Nintendo pranksters! :P This game looks really fun, I will definitely check it out at some point. It's funny, when you started describing all the different options and items and characters, even though I knew you meant it as a negative, I was like "That sounds awesome!" To each their own, right? Good job.
That box opening at the end was the best part, gotta love Nintendo. I own both stardew valley and overcooked. I love both of those games and im excited to see Arlos take on them.
It was a good game. Great music, as expected. I think that the structure made it inherently easier than the first, but I'm still not sure whether that was to its detriment or its benefit.
i noticed that too, as a person that has beat both Crypt and Cadence. Id say its to its benefit though, crypt of the necrodancer is more of a classic roguelike where your goal is to get as deep as possible and overcome hard challenges, but Cadence is more like an adventure and i think having lesser challenge helped it not feel too hard to beat and really gave me a sense of progression vs how crypt made me feel. but at the same time nothing can beat the euphoria of finally beating the final boss in crypt.
@@danielknight1760 true. My thing is... I beat cadence in a day... On original Crypt? I still haven't beaten cadence's route, one year after purchasing it 😅
@@seansimonalle8896 yeah i did the same, me and my brother beat cadence in a sizeable amount of hours, while crypt took me playing it on and off for about a year to beat, but this new game was a very fun adventure and it was so zelda-like that it scratched that 2d zelda itch that ive been having for a little while. i think both games are great and neither of them should be held above the other
The roguelike term is absolutely suitable. Not only the dungeons, but the entire world map is randomized each time you start a new game. It's what makes speedrunning a bit more interesting because there's always a searching aspect to the runs. Add to that really clever item usage (every dungeon has some skips if you're ingenious enough) and this is a really cool speedrunning game. I will say though that not using Zelda is a bit ridiculous considering how insanely broken Nayru's Love is, you can reflect every attack with it.
9:50 -- When you said the scissors were for hair, I was expecting a different kind of joke, like "I'm covered in hair and they were still hard to use."
Legend of zelda: "Link can't jump"
Cadence of Hyrule: "LINK CAN ONLY JUMP!!"
*Minish Cap and Wild Link laughing
Man the oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, and the people who live near the Wind Fish are Looking at you funny.
Everyone ignoring Zelda II having a designated jump button
@@ygsr All the sidescrollers do for that matter. Links Awakening does too! Has every Link Jumped at least once?
@@thod8820 I think every Link has jumped quite a bit. All 3D games allow jumping in one form or another and all 2D Links have had the ability to jump in atleast one game, right? So yeah, I think so. The only one I'm unsure of is Spirit Tracks Link. You know if he ever jumped?
Ok, with that kind of package, someone at Nintendo must personally watch this channel
Yeah that was VERY personalized...I love how cute and wholesome Nintendo can be with even something as simple as this
Factoid *camera pans to Doug Bowser watching Arlo videos*
Ikr
The multiple boxes and notes was really intense.
I love it. More unboxes like that.
Some random employee responsible for review copies is probably an Arlo fan.
Someone at Nintendo had a little too much fun trolling Arlo at the end of the video there. And they know about the scissors, Arlo!
because it was a gag and not a 'package from nintendo'?
means someone at Nintendo watches his vids and is fan, still that was pretty cruel what they did lol
1337n00binc I don’t think it was just a gag-
**Misses a beat by accident**
Well excuuuuuuuse me, game!
Well if it isn’t Christopher Moon how are ya bud
Yes
It’s my fault!
ALL MY FAULT!!!
Accurate. Lol.
*DEATH BY: MISSED BEAT*
Sorry I'm having some flashbacks at the moment
The box part was hilarious! And thanks to Arlo's reaction at the end, we can finally confirm he is Cookie Monster's cousin. Nintendo's employees had their fun, great to see it.
Sergio Serrano what do you mean we can confirm he’s the cookie monsters cousin. I must’ve missed that part
@@chef168 I was joking because he started to act desperate to open the box at 11:01, kinda how cookie monster behaves when he is munchkin cookies.
Sergio Serrano okay thanks
Nintendo just sent him a Russian doll of 18 boxes in response to his Star Fox Zero review.
The box bit at the end made my day, why can't everything be this wholesome.
Not everyone can be Arlo
Not that that is necessarily bad though, some cynical edge definitely has its place as well
The “oh my goodness!” Showed me this guy has worked with kids and knows what language to use!
Some say he’s still playing Stardew Valley to this day
tu tis däy
Just beat the game earlier today. Absolutely incredible.
Just BEAT the game earlier today
I’m sorry
Pun intended?
I beat the game the day after I bought it. Still worth it
@@jj2059 it is but I would play it again

I think that sprite of Link tapping his foot is the cutest thing I've seen in quite some time.
Next to Link's new aprereance in link's awakening switch remake
@@sailplanepilot1562 This is true.
I was waiting desperately for there to be nothing in the box. 😅
sure, but what was... his reaction was perfect. see you in a year, arlo!
i was waiting for another copy of 1-2 switch
Even worse than nothing. 😅
I was expecting a Mario 64 Bowser laugh.
I would have laughed so hard if it was just an empty box
« I LOVE THINGS I CAN EAT »
Better be the next intro Arlo
Or of course « More Tape »
That packaging from Nintendo was creative. Props to whoever packaged that for Arlo.
*Rhythm game or Indie Game?*
*Nintendo:* Both, both is good
Is it too much to ask for both?
Why do you pretend that those are mutually exclusive?
Even though you didn't say "yEs", I still don't understand how this is funny.
Road to Eldorado reference!
Yes
All that work and they didn't even give you physical copies! hahaha
found it quite funny actually XD
Idk if those games even have physical copies...besides it's quite funny to have a chain of boxes leading to a tiny download code sheet
@@chuckbatmangaming I believe they do have physical copies but those were released long after the digital release
ChuckBatman5 Overcooked 2 has a physical release. Stardew Valley doesn’t.
I could be wrong, but I dont think either game has a physical release.
The greatest unboxing on UA-cam
How cool is it that Nintendo see’s arlo as a trusted enough review to send a review copy
This is the first time I’m happy to see arlo not go into spoilers, I really want to play this game but I haven’t been able to buy it yet.. thanks arlo!
Me: Where’s has Arlo been for the past few days
Arlo: Gone, reduced to atoms
He's been at too many games 2019
Convention with Scott the woz!
@@TamsmitSam weirdly enough they only met at the con, their booths were just together for some reason

I gotta look up their panel! My two favourite game UA-camrs together is a dream.
You are the best Arlo! I'm still pretty new to the channel but I'm binging and I love the content!
"this might not be worth your money but it's definitely worth your time" this seems very fitting for your review

I’m probably biased though, as I am a musician
I love the ending of the video. You’re the best, Arlo!
That package was really cool, I love the humour of the gift being something small in such an oversized box
Nothin like an Arlo vid to start your morning.
The option to turn off the rhythm thing is a huge plus for me.
I see I'm not the only one to like my coffee with a side of blue hair.
I've been praying for this review from you for so long! I was worried it might not come! Thanks Arlo, very cool!
ARLO OPENING THAT PACKAGE WAS THE WHOLESOME CONTENT I NEEDED IN MY DAY

Nice to see you at too many games!!! I was actually gonna ask you about this game but didnt get picked sadly, glad to see you review it!!!
I would love to see a series mad out of this game I never complete games but I did for this game
all the review copies and the gift boxes totally make sense, arlo's kind of family friendly content goes perfectly with the nintendo brand
Everything about this video was a joy to watch!! ❤️❤️

Hey arlo you should review Dragon quest builders and its soon to release sequal dragon quest builders 2.
Trust me you wont be putting it down until you finish it.

I put it down, at least the first one. The second one looks considerably better. I just kinda tired of building games

And I could tell that you liked it in the first few seconds of game play!
Also that package was CRAZY!
I really liked the game when I played it, and I wish nintendo games could do this more. This reminds me of when pokemon conquest came out

Dude Christmas at Arlo’s must be so much fun
I freaking love whoever did that with the boxes 😂
Liked for that unboxing, theres a 1st for everything
wow good job Arlo!
This has been my favorite Zelda spin-off to date! In my personal opinion it's a perfect game for people who love music and who love Zelda game's
Best Arlo intro sound yet.
Things like that unboxing really make the people at Nintendo feel like humans
Nerdtendo 64 you're right! Most other companies probably wouldn't bother with things like that
This is a game that wants you to play as Yves.
I found that playing through, the items that I used the most were bombs, arrows, goron bracelet, fire items, the rod that summons blocks, the boomerang to collect distant items, and the hookshot. The drum can also be really good for combat given it increased damage on the next turn
I love this game so much! I'm not sure if it counts as such, but it's one of my favorite Zelda games so far!
When the note said "Something you can farm" I almost lost my shit thinking it could be the new Animal Crossing. Stupid thought but my heart jumped for a moment.
