- My last update before the launch of the Switch. Possibly my last update ever, because I think my head might just explode on March 3rd.
Here's the GameXplain video I used the joycon desync clip from:

The Switch chooses the gamer, Mr. Arlo
Woah!
+Arlo Hi Arlo! ^-^
It's not just about how much graphical power can be shoved into a system! It has so much more to offer!
Well said!
Hey didn't know if you were just dull or uninformed but they system doesn't come with a game so you have to buy one. Of course Zelda is 60 so.........
When you're the cookie monster but the doctor says you can't eat cookies so you go obsess over something else
1sonicthe . LOL
1sonicthe lol wow, I love Arlo's vids so much.
I always thought he looked more like Grover after losing his nose in a horrible accident.
Mark Haynes are you working on episode 2?
Yeah, but Solid Snake
Never click baits, a puppet who talks about video games (usually Nintendo), good humor, AND valid points!?!?! You sir have a new subscriber!!!
Bman He was popping in recommend for months before I finally clicked. I had no interest in a gaming channel hosted by a puppet. Those were the dark times. So glad I finally clicked.
8-Bit Squirrel lol
> Comment posted 2 minutes after video posted
> "new subscriber"
Sure. Right. Definitely.
Bman And sings Barenaked Ladies
Idk man I didn't see any exploding heads in this video
WHERE ARE MY J O Y C O N B O Y Z!?!?!?!?
...yieh bet seled sneke
hacker dackers Mr. kissass ready for duty sir!
hacker dackers over here
kid awesome army06 Wow y'all are fast af
yee
I got a Switch ad for this video
*Nice*
noice
Luke - Ario Yeah but Soild Snake.
nuice
Nater Fernat that's a good thing
Danny Brown that's a good thing
Of all youtubers, how did you not get a review copy, you deserve it!
?Mystical Universe? it is a wrong answer, stop misinforming people
On Twitter, Arlo said Nintendo didn't offer him one.
VGM Studios At least our little peanut Chadtronic got a review copy.
Stinking Watchmojo got one
He simply doesn't have enough influence yet. You need at least an average of about 100-500k views per video to start getting review copies and early access to games.
This is stupid, I mean, who's gonna watch an Arlo video at 3 in the morning.
Oh BOY 3 AM!
nice reference :)
It' 2 AM by the time I finished
In canada it is now 3:24
11:30 pm in Cali.
Albert Locke it's 8 a.m in Denmark
I can see the future:
"Oh no, Arlo brought his stupid Nintendo thing to the party. We're DRINKING Arlo, we're having CONVERSATIONS"
what video was that I forgot it and I didnt mean to
Pizza Poosta it's the Karen meme if you've seen it, the girl bringing her switch to a party
***** yeah but wasn't it part of a parody of the reveal?
Yeah... But Solid Snake.
WHAT IS YEAH BUT SOLID SNAKE
It's weird to imagine a muppet going into a Best Buy.
We never see Arlo's legs, we just see his neck sloping down, so I imagine him as a fuzzy blue Slug with Arms.
RedGeoBlaze yes
I bet there's a tragic story behind Arlo's lack of a right arm.
Toast Guy He had one sometimes... So a wizard did it!
Toast Guy very tragic......
😪
Maybe he is left handed
I feel kind of bad that Nintendo didn't send you a Switch to review. They sent them out to so many other channels, even some that aren't really about Nintendo. They should have sent you one too! Oh well, at least we can all ride the hype train together and experience the joy of Nintendo Switch at the same time.
Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what's up. They seem to be really hesitant to establish any sort of relationship with me. My best guess is that I killed my chances with my more critical videos. Fingers crossed I can get through to them one of these days so I can review more games.
Arlo I think maybe you need a certain amount of subs. Im sure you'll get the next console.
Yeah, Shofu even got one... are they Muppet-phobes?
They sent one to swiftor, who doesn't even upload Nintendo content😂😭😭.
Thinking that you gotta be apart of the Nintendo UA-cam program
"Sing campfire songs. Bring snacks. Get in our tent and tell ghost stories"
Pretty sure those ghost stories are gonna be about the Wii U era.
Pioxys lol
Nah, the ghost stories will be about the virtual boy.
Dipper Pines lol
We had Pikmin 3 tho, so it wasn't really that bad
*looks at thumbnail*
wow i can't believe arlo is fucking dead
Mr. Waffle the 2nd too bad he died the week before the switch comes out.
Mr. Waffle the 2nd Yeah but Solid Snake
Again.
Yeah butt solid snake
He's not dead yet, the thumbnail is merely a vision of the future. According to the description, he's going to die of a head explosion on March 3rd. 0_0
Never change Arlo... Never change!
W8 what are you doing here?
Who the heck are you?
I keep seeing this videos in my recommendation and it’s so interesting to see how skeptical we were back then
Best buy is going to wonder why a blue cookie monster is buying a Switch
Artheros5
Cookie Monster is already blue
Artheros5 He looks more like a noseless Grover.
+Naruto
Grover is also already blue.
Artheros5 that's racist. Not all blue people are cookie monsters
Some different opinions - The return dont people turn blue when they drink silver? Theres a video of a guy on youtube with that color
Arlo
Directed by Michael Bay.
The thumbnail isn't an ocean; it's a sillhouette of a treeline with a sunset in the background
RyuuSix BOOM
I just remembered something...
March 3rd was the release of Super Smash Bros Brawl on the Wii almost 9 years ago.
Hard to believe that Smash Bros Brawl is going to be 10 years old next year.
Ardhamon5000 Oh my god I feel so fucking old
Shrek The Ogre You really wanna feel old? It will be the 20th anniversary of Smash Bros 64 and in 2021 it'l be the 20th anniversary of Melee.
Ardhamon5000 Woah, that's right! I think that getting Brawl was the first time I bought a game on launch date. Man, the years just fly by...
Ardhamon5000 not really for me lol the wii is already over a decade old😆😵
They should launch the Super Smash Bros Port on the 3rd just to remind us that Brawl happened 9 years ago
(Dad walks in) "What are you watching." (me) A puppet talking about video games. (Dad leaves)
God damnit son why don't you watch porn.
doop pood
Lmao
doop pood Your dad is saying to himself, "It's just a phase...it's just a phase..."
What puppet?
Watching this before the Switch 2 comes out is CRAZY
Much love from a fellow og Switch-preorderer ❤
how cute is this little blue guy, he's so excited lol
Chris L I know right?? he's like a kid in a candy store!!
Bman yep
Chris L yeah
But Solid Snake
Chris L you excited for spring training?
theokchannel I sure am! How about you, do ya like baseball?
I will be living vicariously through your unboxing and first impressions videos as I missed the preorder and have to work all night on the release. if it makes you feel any better, your videos will be a great service to those in the same boat as I am.
But sorry, I'm not watching your Zelda related videos until I get the game myself and play the heck out of it!
I think GameStop is taking walk-in names so you might be able to claim it early and pick it up after your work night.
My favorite time of the week! When Arlo uploads a video with such conviction and Enthusiasm that i have no other choice but to bow and praise him on whatever the hell hes talking about.
I don't want a face reveal. It would just ruin the immersion.
What are u talkin bout? He shows his face EVERY SINGLE VIDEO
There are actually videos of him where he shows himself, here’s one: ua-cam.com/video/0b8wfe2t0yQ/v-deo.html (don’t watch if you don’t want the immersion ruined)
Let it be known that I was here before the "yeah but solid snake" meme. Once it spirals out of control and you get millions of subs, I was here.
TheJayDoctor same
ayy
👌
And we, the survivors, will try to avoid the spoilers until christmas. Enphasys on "try"
Ceres Golden Cross - Indies y Clásicos I'll probably just avoid the UA-cam and some FB pages. My friends aren't Nintendo fans, so, the only way everything will be destroyed is if trolls do the "Kylo Ren kills Han Solo" in every unrelated post. (At the end, the spanish zelda community isn't that big so i hope we have no problem)
AVOID THE FUCKING INTERNET
Ceres Golden Cross - Indies y Clásicos no Listen, here's how you avoid spoilers: You don't go to any Nintendo news and don't go to the comments on anything Nintendo Related. Best Wishes.
Yeah, but Solid Snake!
Grandle Jams Yeah but "Kylo Ren kills Han Solo" in a tutorial of how to install something on my computer. Now you see the problem?
"Taking a moment to look at a switch-less life..."
So does that mean the light switches in my room don't count?
PFFFTTT... please. Everyone knows voice activated lights are the way to go now.😝
Even though my brother's have proven to have an EXTREMELY hard time getting the ques to do what he says.😜
+Kolawole Oluyedun yeah but solid snake
Zelda.
my gods, zelda. I can't wait to sit on the couch with my 2 year old in my lap trying to steal my controller. my 8 year old telling me not to hurt the animals. my wife giving me shit when I die a bunch. can't wait to play.
DevinAK49 hah too true
DevinAK49 Good thing the Switch is portable ;) Run for your life my friend.
DevinAK49 Play on the toilet.
Myst I just stay up late to get some more focused sessions in.
_"my wife giving me shit when I die a bunch."_
Relationship goals, much.
Only true Arlo fans will see this video after watching the new Calm before the “Switch 2” and “NX” storm vids.
Last time I checked you where at like 10k, and I was like: How does this guy not have more subscribers!?
I know you wanted to avoid zelda spoilers but solid snake is in botw
Shiny Eevee I'm not sure if I want this to be a joke or not.
BayLaugh Animations It's true. He is hiding under a box.
Solid LINK
do we know if it's solid snake? does he say something that only SOLID snake would say?
Yes but in BoTW they use the old English name for solid snake "Erect cock"
Yeah I git nothing better.
I love how I've never heard Arlo swear, yet, the comments have NO CHILL.
I got a Nintendo switch ad for this
Ryuben69 Ellis First things first, Imma say all the words inside my head!
I got an ad for bomberman on the Switch
Sony are doubling down on Horizon Dawn Ads in my Region. Last 2 weeks it's been the Horizon Dawn ad 9/10 times.
OTPulse zelda is blowing away the socks off of reviewers
Haruhi Suzumiya So is Horizon, don't be a fanboy.
Does anyone binge watch the big fast switch playlist just to relive the days before the switch?
OH BOY I'M SO EXC- I have no money to buy the thing.
The Shinsh i had to buy the 600 dollar bundle to get mine
Zachary Kaplan mine was 600 lol dude at gamestop told me it came out at noon instead of midnight i got there at 1 and they were sold out and i was all you sold out in an hour? And they were al no it came out at midnight. And i was all dude here told me noon? So i had to buy a bundle cause dude got his facts wrong
Cry me a river
The Shinsh yep I am hoping to get it at Christmas in about 8 months ok that’s a lot longer anyway than I thought well I will just have to say on my Xbox on the Star Wars battlefront in the mean time I will be about 3 years late to get the switch well I was 2 years late to the wii u so i will see everybody in MARIO kart in 8 months... sigh
Ryan Miller nope getting it in 4 months hopefully. I was hoping to get it for Christmas but we can’t afford it so I’m combining my birthday and Christmas money to get it but I still might not be able to afford it so I might have to wait 1 or maybe 2 even years to afford it 😞
RIP Arlo he was the best of us and the bluest of most
this gonna be the longest week of my life
march 3rd is actually my birthday too so it feels like everyone is counting down to my birthday xD
majorbobfunction Happy Birthday on March 3rd!
majorbobfunction Happy Birthday on March 3rd!
majorbobfunction HAPPY BIRTHDAY... I hope you are reading this on your birthday...
majorbobfunction
Happy birthday. Go fuck yourself.
Your birthday was one of the best days of my life.
I finally got my hands on the game I've been sore from hyping over the past two years. I also lucked out because I got the last switch in at my local walmart.
*Yeah, but Solid Snake*
der Synchronizer +
der Synchronizer yeah...but *snake pass*
Where is that from anyways?
Duke It's from the Arlo "BotW Spoilers everywhere" video which was uploaded a few days ago
DANG IT WHIS!!!!
I've pre-ordered the same as you Arlo, I'm sure BOTW will handle just fine on regular controller.
Lets make "Yeah but Solid Snake" a new meme
too late
WadiYaTalkinAbeet ? It is.
Like **WOAH TECHNOLOGY**?
WadiYaTalkinAbeet ? Have you looked at the comments sections after that video? I think it already is
WadiYaTalkinAbeet ? yeah but Spoiler snake
How are you gonna play the Switch with only one hand?
sometimes he has two hands
He has two hands.
Sometimes he has three hands ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
But only sometimes
Here's a hint: Hand #3 may or may not be *inside* of Arlo...
That means he's gonna have a "hand baby"!
*inverse facepalm*
One Week. One week. ONE WEEK BEFORE PRETTY MUCH NO ONE GETS THE SWITCH BECAUSE THE PRE ORDERS SOLD OUT IN THE FIRST TEN MINUTES.
Waluigi Jumpman The switch. I meant to say that no one gets the switch including me. I'll change it
I mean, I got a pre order lol
In Europe it didn't I've mean pre ordered (I'm British)
The Batman I preordered mine at a Walmart like 3 weeks ago, so..
Fixed
After watching calm before switch 2 storm, then calm before NX storm, and here and yeah and awesome ☄️
Snap!
Arlo, I only recently found your channel, but your sheer enthusiasm, your sheer... LOVE for what you do, for Nintendo, for Zelda, for Pikmin, for the Switch, I love it all.Thank you for doing what you do, It's so amazing, and so are you. In order to not explode from sheer Switch Hype I've been just devouring all the Arlo content I can, and I love it. I love it so much. It's so good. Thank you.
*Breathes* SWIIIIIIII-
So basically you're like Cartman waiting for the Wii to come out, hang in there man, don't get Butters to help freeze yourself!
I"M SUPER HAPPY TO SEE MY LOCAL STORE IIISSSSS DOING A MIDNIGHT RELEASE!!!!!
*INTERNAL SCREAMING IS NOW ACTUAL SCREAMING*
It would be pretty funny if you did a little skit at Best Buy when you pick up the switch
That Other Guy and he did!
Watching through the back catalog of switch content on here in 2023. Would love to see more collabs between you and Lockstin; I'm a huge fan of both of you.
Arlo Arlo! I’m from the future! Temper your expectations for Metroid Prime 4! TEMPER YOUR EXPECTATIONS FOR METROID PRIME 4!!!
A world without a Switch? **Looks**
Pretty sad
fight me
SHOW YA MOVES!
Yeah but solid snake
Yeah but solid snake
Brantley Cooper what do you mean by that?
Atropos148 inside joke. watch trying to stay spoiler free for breath of the wild
Yeah, that's like a trigger sentence for Arlo
Yeah, but Zelda Snake.
Brantley Cooper yeah but solid snake is a meme now XD
i cant lie arlo....I LOVE YOU. your channel is amazing and i love your voice its amazing to me also i cant wait for the switch myself the HYPE is real (im going to midnight release at gamestop) also will you do another video on super mario oddesy
2years later, I just wanted you to know that I'm reliving the hype before hopefully purchasing my own switch later today. Thanks for letting me in on the hype that I missed the first time due to having little money 2 years ago.
thank you arlo,your videos always never click bait and your always honest,thanks for always making me smile!,I've been a proud subscriber for a long while.
Thumbs up if you're Arlos biggest fan
Chase Byrne I challenge everyone to a puyo puyo Tetris battle to claim that title!
Chase Byrne BUT THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!
ItsaGamer05 it's me
Yeah
but solid snake
It's me.
I don't want a face reveal, I want an Arlo covers Barenaked Ladies album
No problem Arlo. I got your furry back.
Thanks bro.
Your channel has got to be my favorite for my Nintendo perspective, your humor and opinions are always on point
I love you arlo. you represent everything exactly how I feel and use I would talk in a yt video. especially the part with the exact switch one you'd like. I can totally relate
Hey Arlo, have you considered a let's play for Zelda? I know they'll be everywhere, but I feel like there's a lot of charm in the way you do things and that you'd really be able to bring something to the table (especially going in blind, unlike really any UA-camr I know of. I have to wait an extra week and a half to get home before I can play, so it would be greatly appreciated:P
Though the more I think about it, the more I realize you probably want to experience the switch both docked and undocked, one of which is much harder to record. Anyway, make sure to have lots of fun, and at least give us some form of Zelda impressions at some point.
Hey Arlo, I just realized: why isn't Nintendo sending you a Switch personally a week or so in advance like these other UA-camrs? Now correct me if I'm wrong, because I still consider myself new to your channel, and this is my first official time commenting on one of your videos, but I believe you have all of the same credentials that these other UA-camrs have: you review games, you have news on upcoming games and give your thoughts on them as well, especially Nintendo ones, and you do have unboxing videos, not limited to just games btw. Not to mention, you make videos reviewing accessories, like Amiibo's, because some of your first videos on your channel are this and you still make videos like this. So yeah, I believe you should have gotten a free Switch with a copy of Zelda, just like many of your fellow UA-cam colleagues did. That way, you could get both the "unboxing" and "first impressions" videos out of your way now, instead of waiting for the launch date. I personally don't like this man; they're treating you like you're a noob, and you are arguably one of the most popular UA-cam creators out here now, especially when it comes to the video game critic category, and quite honestly, definitely one of the funniest in my opinion.
Alangh Arlos a smaller channel in the grand scheme of things.
Darkfrost 1802 yeah but people way more forgettable with like 3k subs have gotten one
Derpinator9000 you said yeah but and not solid snake
ChickenAmerica if you think his viewers are children, why the hell are you watching his video?
I don't know, man. All I can do is keep on hoping for next time. Thanks for the kind words though!
The switch has already failed, it doesn't have waluigi in the avatar select screen.
The Potato Assassin : Gamer of gaming exactly
a valid reason. but what if you could use a waluigi mii?
Somebody gets it. #freewaluigi
Now how am I going to get married?...
The Potato Assassin : Gamer of gaming warios better im sorry
I love Arlo's videos. He's so positive and upbeat about everything, his UA-cam personality is a breath of fresh air.
I've been really down lately and haven't found much more than cynicism around the Switch. Seeing someone just talk so warmly and passionately about anything gives me hope. Thank you.
I'm trying to play my Nintendo switch but this one player keeps kicking my ass.
Imperial Conterial Is it TheLegend27?
Is it Arlo?
Kool Cuzzie yeah, TheLegend27!
Is it TheArlo27?
I think we're confused. Some people must be playing that crappy Game of War. Us REAL gamers get our butts kicked by TheArlo27.
every morning i wake up, i say how many days there are until the switch launch. am i alone?
no
yes
J O Y C O N B O Y S W H E R E A R E Y O U
*JOYCONBOYZ*
J O Y C O N B O Y Z
Every time I go back and watch old Arlo videos and hear him talk a lot about how he wants the virtual Consol to come back. I just remember what we know now about the virtual console and feel slightly sad and then just start laughing
I started singing "One Week" by Barenaked Ladies the first time you said "one week," and then you actually started singing it, and it made my day.
Dear Arlo:
Your cool.
Sincerely: A fan.
Hermon ThyGreat You're*
I have failed you grammar god! I must commit sepukuuuu!!!!
*stabs myself*
what?
I'm more excited for arlo getting a switch than I am getting a switch
when I get my switch, in gonna cradle it in my arms like a baby
Joe1up There is a game on one 2 switch that allows you to do exactly that
'They are precious to me'
The ring is starting to consume him.
"Zelda. That's it." Fuzzy blue man after my own heart, same here.
XDDDDD
My little brother walked in and asked
*Why is Grover on your screen?*
DMAN 62102 accurate
So does Arlo only have one arm???? Or is his other arm paralyzed or something?? Lol good work man love the content
kei2kurama
He did switch his arm.
kei2kurama He doesn't like that arm. He is left handed, I geuss.
i think the thumbnail is made by Michael Bay C:
I freaking love you, Arlo. You are among the absolute best UA-cam has to offer. You're so damn charming. This channel always puts me in a great mood. :D
Your enthusiasm for the Switch is getting progressively more and more adorable. I'm not sure my heart can take watching you finally get your fuzzy blue hands on one.
Yeah, but solid snake
?ekanS diloS tub ,haeY
ekans?
atimholt Read it backwards.
(If you can't figure it out, it's: Yeah, but Solid Snake)
+Pixel_ I freaking died.
This has to be a pretty unique channel that deals with game reviews, news and somewhat-vlogs. It's always great!
You are the most serious UA-camr I know, and ironically, you're a puppet. That makes you perhaps the most ridiculous, making you either seriously ridiculous, or ridiculously serious. Either way I love it.
Trying........ so HARD.................TO be................................PATIENT............!!!!!!!!!
WHERE ARE MY WII MOTE BOYS AT??
Ok I'm done
I always play Smash with Wii Mote Sideways (I'm Casual).
CertifiedAwesome Yeah!!!
I can't wait to have a Cool-Nintendo-Guy-Nintendo-Switch-Party!!! :D
PixelDough just so you can turn non cool-Nintendo-guy-Nintendo-switch-party people away and make them sad?
“It’s been ONE WEEK since you looked at me”
amazing videos Arlo, I've loved seeing you blow up after being with you around the 20k mark. My hype is through the roof
Did you get nothing from nintendo? :(
I am not surprised to be honest he is new as he mentioned in this video, but I am sure that next time he will. I really hope he does too since I would love seeing a video of him talking and unboxing something nintendo gave him fro free.
He might have gotten e-mail about an offer to get a review copy, and could've turned it down. I'm pretty sure they usually contact you before sending you any review units as to accept the embargo which your given to not spoil whatever they dont want out,
Idk I see what you mean but I doubt he would turn it down. I mean if Arlo's most recent videos have anything to teach us its the fact that he cannot wait for the switch and zelda.
I believe to get review copies you need to have a minimum of 500,00 subscribers for a UA-cam channel or 30,000 views a minutes for a website. I reckon that Arlo will definitely get the next console though because I started being subscribed in October when he had about 65K and now he has 115K. If he carries on growing like this he'll have 500K in no time
Wooly Void A Chanel called Switch force (30K Subs created in December) has been given one so I don't know why Arlo wouldn't be offered one
The outro music is great.
I was supposed to be watching this video but this one ad keeps kicking my ass
Is it thead27?
I just wanted to say thank you for your interesting insights and humour during this pre-switch launch. I look forward to continuing to see what you have to say in this brave new world. :-)
I was gonna make the 'One Week' joke, but you beat me to the punch, bravo Arlo.
Threw your hands in the air and said YOUR CRAZZYY!
On a serious note, Arlo toootally should have gotten a free switch from nintendo
Arlo how come Nintendo didn't send you a Nintendo Switch !? You have made so many videos for the Switch (and great ones btw) I though you would have one by now
Well yeah
BUT SOLID SNAKE
I also immediately thought of the song One Week on the 24th. Great humor, great videos, and surprisingly the whole Muppet thing works. Liked and subscribed.
An Arlo video about switch hype on my birthday is the best present I could get!
I wish my mom was alive so she'd play the Switch with me
Sahil Nanavaty bruh
Sahil Nanavaty You have my condolences.
I wish you didn't assault my _FEELS_
nvm she was taking a shower
