Well I was just replying to that:
Why people "hate"/dislike him. Hard to appreciate someone you dislike (never really seen hate about him though).

He loves pm64 too, and really likes some other mario rpg games, and loves most metroid, and loves a lot of other mario stuff, some zelda, likes some pokemon, and some other stuff. Idk, I just don't get why people get so mad about most of his new videos now.
It's true these are some of his favorite games ever. He always want a new Pikmin and I can't blame him, but overall he makes lighthearted fun content. I get he was disappointed with the September Direct, but he wasn't the only one.
The Nintendo fanbase is very diverse and Arlo is ONLY one person. So he will not like many Nintendo franchise me or you love. He does like many of them. It's not like he's Gamexplain where they have like 4-5 people and combined they cover pretty much all Nintendo franchises.
That's.... not true, in the slightest really. At the end of Fiscal Q2 it's behind lifetime MM1 sales by 0.08 million, and will absolutely blast by it this quarter, and likely do more than double of the first game.
OP
OP
I think people are bothered by Arlo because he is both an obsessive fan (which obviously the frequent posters in this thread shouldn't dislike) and is consistently misinformed relative to the hyper-attuned sources of info we're used to on this site (leakers as well as very informed members). I think this balance is off-putting to some as he can seem arrogant while not backing it up to some people's standards.
Personally I don't mind Arlo, but I think that his content suffers from his tendency to bloviate his opinions in a way that seemingly sets out to create a façade of authority but really makes his videos kinda long and hard to watch. This is kind of hypocritical of me, I know. But it's not a serious complaint and I think for the most part his stuff is good. The hate (which I think does exist in smatterings here and there) is weird.

That's the thing with nintendo and different people that talk about them. People can like and dislike any different combination of series. It seems like some people here forget that sometimes and think basically everyone here all has the same tastes.
I am starting to wonder if Retro was reached out to Sakamato to make Metroid 5, but they had to rework it for the Switch after the WiiU was killed.
Right
Nintendo fan A loves- Pikmin, Pokemon, 3D Mario, Rhythm Heaven, 3D Zelda and Mario Kart
Nintendo fan B loves- Metroid, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Kart, Zelda, Xenoblade and Star Fox
Nintendo fan C loves- Animal Crossing, Style Savvy, Smash, Pokemon, 3D Mario and DKC
Nintendo is probably the most diverse company in the type of games they make.

we're definitely not gettin Pikmin 4 next year. at best it's a 2021 title
Especially since Pikmin 3 is coming in 2020. Nintendo will have Pikmin 4 ready for 2021.
If Pikmin 4 doesn't have nighttime exploration finally, complete with luminescent, glow-in-the-dark Pikmin, then the wait was all a waste.
I guess I'm fan D: Pokémon, Fire Emblem, WarioWare, WarioLand, Yoshi, Donkey Kong (especially DK64) (and Advance Wars but obviously it's dead)
And yes, Nintendo IS the company with most diverse fan profiles because first party support of other two consoles is literally dying down.
See. You don't even care for Zelda or Mario. If you were making YouTube videos you'd turn a lot of Nintendo fans away
Mario and Sonic really came and went, huh? Wonder if Nintendo will keep giving Sega the Mario license if the series' sales continue to decline.
Will give that Retro Studios video a chance later, though
Yeah I used to watch every Arlo video the day it is published but lately his content has seemed 10 minutes for the amount of insight it contains imo. Makes me appreciate someone like Doctre81 who just gets to the point.

Why releeae pikman 3 by itself
Remake pikman 1 and 2 with the engine and pack them together as the trilogy

Nintendo will print this out and pin it on a wall so they can all giggle at it in the hallway
The day Nintendo actually releases a compilation of remakes/remasters is the day we know that hell has frozen over.
This is Nintendo we're talking about, that's way too generous. You'll pay $60 for Pikmin 3 Deluxe and you'll like it!
This will get ignored because people don't wanna hear it and because it's easier to pretend that his content is disliked because of his personal tastes. Can't wait to read the same posts again in a few weeks.
"Not varied" because liking Mario, Zelda, Mario RPGs, Pokemon, Metroid, Splatoon, Mario Party, etc isn't varied?? Just sounds like you're upset he didn't like Xenoblade based on the Direct comment. Don't equate "not what I like" to "not varied" when those are clearly a wide range of genres.
Yeah that's what I've always liked about Nintendo. And the more I've grown older, the more I realize I fit just about all of those molds. Even the types of games they make that I don't like as with 3D Mario, it still has a certain charm that makes it worth playing for me.
Where did I even imply any of that? And when did he like a Mario RPG since TTYD?
Yeah 2-3 Mario games per year is the sweet spot, my guess for next year.
2020
Mario Golf-Spring
Paper Mario-Fall
Mario vs DK (eShop)
MP4 will not only be the first HD Metroid, the first new 3D Metroid since 2007, the first Retro's original release since 2014, and a title all the industry is waiting for, which is already a lot.
It could also be the key to the survival of both Retro as a studio and Metroid as a franchise. It will also posisbly influence the future of a lot of series that Retro could have worked on if things did not go wrong. I mean, after what they did with Prime, DK, and even MK7, we really could imagine they would be the perfect studio to revive F-Zero, Starfox or even Wario Land, for instance. They were going to be new Rare, they went back to be the initial dying Retro. The impact, positive or negative, that will have Prime 4 is absolutely huge. It can be a real game changer, for better and for worse.

Right there, part of it literally word for word lol. All of which is also objectively false if you've seen even some of his videos.
Yeah, my problem with Arlo is that it represents the kind of Nintendo fan that personally bores me. It seems that he has never advanced beyond Game Cube. He doesn't like any ip or thing other than the way it was in Game Cube
Just because people wanted it to be so, didn't actually make it the case.
Mario Golf is a tough sell in Europe. It's the reason they skipped it on Wii and Wii U.
I'm predicting something like Mario Sports Mix. Maybe with even more guest characters.
And Mario Party 12. Since Super Mario Party is incompatible with Switch Lite, it's time for them to return to the traditional formula.
Sometimes region affects the viability of a studio
Maybe texas is a bad state for a dev to be headquartered

Arlo seems like an okay YT personality for entertainment value, but he lacks substance. He is misinformed on many topics and has a narrow view on many others. If you just want entertainment then the character of Arlo is fine. If you want information, depth, and insight beyond basic gaming needs, he comes in rather shallow.
Jon, Terraforce and Dark Cloud pretty much got it.
People giving Arlo shit for not sharing their enthusiasm for whatever it may be are extremely strange. Criticism is obviously fine and i disagee with him on a lot of things, but i think he's a very genuine youtuber.

I find his videos entertaining enough when I put them in the background while doing something else, but they lose my interest if I try to watch them actively.
I don't see why it's an actual problem though. It's just personal preference.
Honestly I think it comes down to arlo specifically not liking modern paper mario, and then also not liking certain series like fire emblem or xenoblade.
If we are doing guesses
I doubt they'd release a Mario Sports type game next year since they will want Mario + Sonic 2020 to generate sales based on Olympic hype and a "Mario Sports Mix" type game may hurt sales.
For 2020 I'm betting
1. Mario Party
2. some kind of Mario RPG (Paper Mario, Mario + Luigi, Mario + Rabbids)
3. 3D Mario ( Port/Remaster or New Game)
I'd probably also guess that Mario + Rabbids 2 is a 2021 game

Don't think we will see any of Bandai Namco's flagship games like DBZ Kakarot and Tales of Arise getting Switch versions, but Bamco will keep fishing (heh) for low-budget family surprise hits like Fishing Spirits. Also whatever last-gen ports they can sneak in.
They still have three Switch games slated for 2020 release but overall it's not looking too bright. Some of their 2020 games makes the most sense on Switch like Kakarot, Tales of Arise, SAO Alicization Lyricois and One Punch Man yet none of them are slated for Switch release.
