Cost of living is high because building houses is illegal; it has nothing to do with video games. PC games are cheaper than ever due to competition. The biggest price increases are seen in well known brands, like Coca Cola, Nintendo, etc.

WWE 2k24 I love wrestling but really? Really that was nominated

As a 40-year-old mediocre gamer, I'm *very* happy Astro Bot is so kind and merciflul, and isn't any harder than it is. The few challenge levels were way enough for me. I don't have the reflexes, patience, or time to get good enough for some games, and it always bums me out to miss out, even if there's plenty of game for me too. But here's a platformer I can actually complete! Even the challenge levels! 😍 I love it so much 💙

If the games for the new switch system are a blanket $70 MSRP. The only way I’d buy them as well as the system is IF the physical games are complete on the cartridge and don’t require any additional downloads to play😈☠️💣 I don’t mind paying higher prices for physical games so long as the games are complete and fully on the cartridge… if I’m shelling out that much for a game, it better be polished complete and have most if not all of the bugs worked out of it. I’m sick and tired of premium prices for subpar unfinished jank.. As an example if Stellar Blade or the FF remake is on the new switch system 🤔 I’d definitely pay $70 for them Most of my collection for my switch is not big first party games ( actually all but 4 games thinking about it) ironically the third party games run and preform better 😂 Inflation is a sneaky thief in the night as is corporate greed😈

Will we get a big fat review of TOTK? Probably

I'm out of the loop. When did Pokemon become transformers?

I really want new game plus or an extra level because I’m so sad I can’t use all the cool stuff I obtained because I already played through all of it by the end of the

I use to check the eShop every Friday, but there's a few companies that rerelease the same game literally every week and no one's stopping that. If I could block companies from the main page (like you can do to a KZbin channel) that would go a reeeally long way for me. Folders. Most 1st Party NSO games available. I'm all for GameCube, but Gameboy doesn't even have Mario Land yet... Getting screenshots off the system. Scan 2 QR codes to get 10 at a time? I just stopped taking screenshots. More internal memory. I download everything, so my 500gb drive maxed out. Had to get a 1.5tb. Oh, and folders.

I can hear the bootcamp now. "What ideas do we have. Anyone?" "I've got nothing."

like where do you want link to go? hyrule is so varied: grassland, town, desert, tundra, mountain, jungle, cave. its not link is going to space. i'd love another weird/trippy dark world a la link to the snes.

uh-huh

What are you talking about?? No need for smoothies? You didn't play in Hero Mode ...

Did nintendo pay you to say it was a good idea to keep the same map and they it is so much changed? did we play the same game??

They Wokified the story for the times by having P.P. saving Mario throughout the movie, instead of the other way around.

Wow, 8 years ago. Here in December 2024, eagerly awaiting the S2 announcement 🖤

if a bunch of ppl said this earlier maybe they woulda done it for the next game guess we need wait another 14 yrs

Why do you get sick so often?

Can anyone actually confirm to me that Cyberpunk on PC was bad on launch week? I get the PS4 stories… I had 3 systems in my house running it that week. One was running an RTX 3090, which was probably what it was developed on at CDPR for a while. So obvious it would work. One with a GTX 1080. Worked perfectly. Then another Linux system I was using to test things for Steam Deck before it came out with a GTX 1070 in it. Also worked perfectly. The GTX 10 series were already 4 year old cards if I’m not mistaken. I definitely caught some minor animation bugs but I’ll take that over any Fallout or Ubisoft game having crashing and bugged main quests. Share below and be respectful to each other. I’m curious.

Gotta be honest ps4 is better.

I haven't even bought Pikmin 4 yet in part because of the price of 1+2 and 3. Can't justify it yet. Would totally have bought it if the others were priced lower

Where is the vod?

Wouldn't be an Arlo video without the gratuitous SquareSpace ad....🙄

I think botw and totk are some of the worst zelda games made ever. But I bought it day one 70+ cause I honestly just miss the hype of midnight releases.

Well we did get an alarm clock in October so that can count as new hardware 😂

Absolutely my fav 2d Mario

i just want them to drop nvidia’s inefficient chips release a switch oled, everything else is a waste of money and bad budgeting on the system. the power we have out of budget phones like the poco x6 pro, and their efficient 4nm, while still being under 300$, things like that is exactly what we need for switch 2. it’s very feasible to be under 400$, with a switch oled screen, mediatek chip, and the value will be made with the amazing games they would bring. people don’t care about the hardware, so it should just be cost and power efficient, resulting in a good price and great battery life, which people do care about. edit: i also want it to be small. not too much bigger than the current switch. a more efficient chip allows for a smaller form factor, since you’ll need a smaller battery (although you should utilize both an efficient chip and a good battery, which is why i want a 5500 mah battery minimum, which can easily fit in the current switch size), but knowing nintendo, they’d probably just put a tiny battery in it anyway and and reduce the clock speeds heavily to account for it

Yeah, this is why completionism isn’t worth it.

13:13 What game is that?

JUST RELEASE THE DAMN THING ALREADY!.

making up for never finding this awesome channel by starting from the beginning. and so far, i've been hooked. man i wish i found this guy in the peak of NX speculations :,)

I actually don’t see why this is the “silliest” Zelda game. I can think of a few others that are at least as silly!

It wouldn't be that weird for "Super Mario Odessey 2" to be on the Switch 2. The branding makes sense.

Never thought about it but new game+ would be sooooo amazing in this game

I'm already heavily into Metroid, but I want to get into Metroid even more, and now I am. Damn you Arlo! Think i'm gonna play Metroid Prime 2 again, my favorite. ......This wait for Prime 4 is unbearable

Bro died on Jack Black playing Bowser

Holy shit, a video about BotW/TotK that isn't just the youtuber drooling over both games and saying how physically impossible it is for anyone to love these piles of shit. Like, oh my god. I used to be subbed to this channel and I think I originally unsubbed because of BotW jerking, but... I'm subbing back again.

Dude you will love it anyway

Give me the return to Vialwnautsu

I really like this guy's unique-styled commentary.

Astro Bot came to my attention when it won GOTY. I didn't even give it a second thought when it first launched. I am now a few hours in and its some of the most fun I have had since TOTK. This is the kind of game Nintendo could make if the Switch had the same power as the PS5. Nintendo should be concerned because if Sony continues developing this game series. Astro Bot 2, 3 and so on. Sony could start pushing into Nintendo's monopoly of this game genre. 10/10 and GOTY was absolutely earned.

subvert their (profit) expectations

GAME OF THE YEAR, MOTHERF&$%ER!!

Ummm where is Starfox in all of this?! Seriously animal crossing over starfox 🤦‍♂️

imagine a game where link has to visit another kingdom and has to gain the villager's trust and fight the monsters / villain at the same time

My husband and I just tried to make a campaign setting featuring many of the same regions in the BOTW map, using dice to randomize (multiple different types of dice in different configurations, including throwing them on a map to determine their placement). We tried *five times* to shuffle it around enough to not essentially resemble it within an 80% accuracy, and it was almost always *exactly the same* just rotated in different cardinal directions. I don't mind familiarity when there are enough details to make it different--heck, EoW's map is essentially the same in broad strokes as BOTW--but that doesn't mean we can't go beyond Hyrule to have an adventure featuring Link when the precedent's already there. Fans have been clamoring for years for at least a spiritual if not literal return to some of the more obscure lands and characters, and I think it's about time for that.

Arlo’s inflation argument about past games vs games today is actually flawed. I’m not sure why I don’t see someone mentioning this? If you were paying $90 for a Nintendo game in the early 2000s, when money went further ($1 then had more buying power than $1 today) then $90 per game at that time would really feel like paying $150 dollars today! Inflation is very real, I’m not disagreeing with that. What I’m saying is that games were exponentially more expensive back in the day than they are today. I totally agree that $70 is rough to pay for a game, but if we were paying now like what we did in the early 2000s every game would cost $150+.

I'm glad Arlo made the comparison to Tropical Freeze because he made a great point. You know how he said Mario Wonder is as close as it comes to being a perfect game? In my opinion, Tropical Freeze just does... everything right. Everything well. Music, level design, art, controls, sound design, heck even the bosses, albeit kind of unbalanced, still actually match up with the creativity and tone of the rest of the game unlike Mario Wonder. Also, side note, I think one thing this game really did for me was make me excited for the Mario Wonder theme in Mario Maker 3 lol. They're going to have to put a lot of limitations down, though. Probably only include a handful of Wonder Effects and make it its own unique theme that can't be integrated with others like they did with 3D World.

Series on netflix maybe

I actually couldn't stand the English voice on the flower, I played most of the game with the flower in German, quite entertaining

Six years later, they sort of listened
