[@imBailout]

My first big foray into Gaming News and Discussions was the E3 presentation where Nintendo announced Prime 4 (and Arlo’s iconic reaction). It’s wild to see it all come full circle like this.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Weird because my first ever hearing of E3 Presentations was back in the mid to late 2000s, when Nintendo introduce the revived Nintendo Revolution console (which later became the "Nintendo Wii") and the rumor of Mario Kart Wii getting up to 32+ players all in one race (or as I saw it as, 32 players playing locally on one Mario Kart game) was wildly shocking to hear that, but it ended up being 12 racers for both local and online racing events instead of 16 or more. In terms of Arlo though, I didn't discover him until 2017/2018 when I came across his Nintendo Direct back in 2017 and such. So yeah, it feels as if it's going to start with a want/promise, and end with getting the product you wished for in return.

[@imaloony8]

I know I’m in the minority here, but the biggest announcement for me was the Ace Attorney announcement. Another JP only game gets localized, and we now have every Ace Attorney game (minus the Professor Layton crossover) on the Switch. Huge W.

It brought tears to my eyes. That was gorgeous.

[@RichzardStudios]

Your reaction to Metroid Prime 4 was basically my reaction to Mario & Luigi Brothership lmao

[@DeckKnight]

KZbinrs: "Nintendo is running out of gas, no new big games at the end of the Switch life cycle." Nintendo: "Omai wo Shinderu!"

[@Linus-j4f]

I love the double dash battle music. Also! CONGRATULATIONS ON METROID PRIME! WERE SO HAPPY!

[@comradeplatinumacd829]

Now that I think about it Arlo had a feast when it came to the switch's lifetime with Pikmin 4, Metroid Dread, and now Metroid Prime 4 all finally becoming a reality.

[@imBailout]

The Tally Hall reference at 24:30 did not go unnoticed, btw

[@xtra3678]

was gonna point out the same thing lol

[@doommustard8818]

the fact that there is so much great stuff at the end of the switch makes me feel very confident in backwards compatibility for the next console.

[@UltraLeevi]

once the metroid prime 4 cosmic year 20x9 galactic federation research facility was show if you listen close you can hear arlo hype scream

[@timmyman9677]

The 2D Zelda is a Zelda game, this is a situation where the floor is NOT made out of floor.

[@Silverift]

dude a ton of your predictions were correct

[@SemiColin-Yt]

Arlo’s rections are allways my favorite part about Nintendo direct days

[@coultermcwilliams]

I’m so so excited to see his reaction to Prime 4

[@seanbroderick2224]

I think Arlo was the only streamer excited for denpamen. I love that series!

[@buildertherobloxian4731]

I wish we saw his Puppet during these Reactions. Would've been funny to see it Flail Around during the Metroid Part.

[@ade1174]

This was such a good sendoff to the Switch. Best software library ever for a Nintendo system.

[@WaterKirby1994]

What makes you think this is the send off & not Switch going through a 50s Life Crisis where it tries a bunch of new stuff?

[@Jawmax]

Mario and Luigi, Legend of Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, and finally... Metriod Prime 4. Arlo is a happy, happy little monster.

[@jckorn9148]

2025 is shaping up to be an absolute landmark year for the entire industry.

[@HaloMillennium]

38:08 "its not gonna be prime 4" famous last words

[@shiekahfan01]

Metroid Dread: 19 year long wait Prime 4: 18 year long wait Hopefully this ends the Metroid drought and we start getting some new gorgeous Metroid games that don't take almost two decades to make

[@AnthonyGamerFan101]

After the direct I took a nap and dreamed about Arlo being directly involved in a new Metroid Fallout game crossover where he was called the carpet turf monster. It was completely unrelated, but it was weird and I wanted to share.

[@mitwhitgaming7722]

When you didn't upload for a couple of hours, I was worried you died of excitement. 😂😅

[@connorburton1009]

I've watched a lot of reactions to this direct, and Arlo is the first to inform me that Denpamen is not a new thing.

[@terabitez3374]

Green Text appears Arlo: “screams” (Transforms into bee)

[@UltimaKeyMaster]
