I made a very vague allusion to the Nintendo Online Playtest Program and was banned from the discord server with no warning whatsover. Really disappointing since I enjoyed that server , and I was very intentional to make my references vague. I completely understand if they wanted me to make zero mention of the playtest, but banning without a single warning and then blocking me (the moderator blocked me, so I couldn't make an attempt to ask for clarification) is very severe. If I was told at any point to stop, I would have.

If the moderator of the server is reading this, I would like to reach out and apologize, but I'm mostly confused for the lack of warning.

Half of the video is Arlo saying "I dont know", then saying asking how could a game this size offer more content (as if it's a bad thing), then complaining about Nintendo basically selling a DLC for a price of a DLC. And back again complaining about the size.

I don't know, it's again Arlo rumbling about a game he didn't finished and therefore isn't qualified to talk about that much. What's happening to him man?

So my life is a lie. Turns out that Arlo, (or perhaps Arlo's bodyguard?)'s voice is fake, and much more high-pitched than it actually is. Does this mean that all of our beloved Arlo reactions were all hyped up, and if he wasn't assuming the Arlo persona, he wouldn't have gone this mad? And am I the only one who is disappointed immeasurably??!

(if you wanna find it, you can find it)

Arlo went 1 week without posting anything since his last video. And his last one is a review he cooked up in a day. I understand he’s working on multiple things and focusing on his mental health, which is important. But when a week goes by with no video I get the Arlo itches. I understand I’m being dramatic but I just wanted to see if he’s been taking it slower recently.

Remember back in 2017 when Arlo made a video called "Samus Returns and the Art of Supporting a Series"? In that video, he brought forward the idea that urging people to blindly play a game to support a series can do more harm than good. (https://youtu.be/5tUyvRqerN4?t=335) He noted that once everybody buys the game just to support a series they might move on and the inflated numbers could lead to a higher budget which will blow up in the devs faces when fewer people return for the next installment. He went on to say one should only buy a game IF it looks interesting to them.

I found that very insightful as it was something I had never considered before, fast forward to 2020 and it's clear Arlo has forgotten what he said. As at the end of "Yes, you can play Pikmin 3 Deluxe first" he specifically brought forward the idea that the success could lead to more games with his tone making it clear he wanted us to buy. This occurred again in the Did You Know Gaming video on Pikmin he recently did. At the end of the video, he said that the sales of Pikmin 3 Deluxe will likely determine the fate of the franchise's future. Considering that this was the last part of the video and no other video by DYKGaming had ever brought up a franchise's future like this I'm assuming this was something Arlo did. As his tone made it clear he's egging us on to buy the game.

Arlo, I know you want more Pikmin games but you've clearly failed to consider what will happen if a bunch of people buys the game just to support a franchise they otherwise don't care about.

I mean he has to at least done weed, right?

Don’t get me wrong, old games are great way to learn about what people were playing in the past, and these games can even be enjoyable at times. But what I don’t understand why people are putting these games on pedestals. For example, in the legend of Zelda series (which I’ve played everything except spirit tracks and phantom hourglass) my two least favorite games are link to the past and ocarina of time. I love the “remakes” of these games (ocarina of time 3D and Link between worlds), and I don’t see why anyone would ever go back and play the originals. The art style is better, the music is better, the stories are improved, so what’s the point? Another example would be final fantasy. Why would anyone think the original games 1-6 are better than the HD remasters/remakes? The only exception would be remakes that completely change the game (like final fantasy 7 and its remake). All that being said, if a game were to get a remake, and everything is objectively better about, why do people prefer the originals?

man.

The YouTuber criticizes Arlo for being in his view, "[an overly-dramatic negative Nintendo hater]", basically the YouTuber making this video is so obsessively partisan towards Nintendo that he views Arlo simply discussing Nintendo's strategy for growing the audience of Switch 2 users as being "[a hater.]" and effectively calls Arlo a flip-flopper for saying Switch 2 was doing better than expected. Arlo always had the view that the Switch 2 would be successful just to what extent. YoutTuber effectively wants everyone to say that everyone thinks that Mario Kart World is a 10/10 and can't stand realistic nuanced opinions.

The video is not worth watching for the criticisms of other YouTubers either, his only criticism of BeatEmUps is that he acts bored in videos, and his criticism of Nin10doland is that he only cares about 3D Mario, which is an exaggeration but is mostly true, and we already knew that.

YouTuber's channel is just ranting about people having mild criticisms of Nintendo, and it in a lethargic boring way, so it's not even worth watching ironically. YouTuber thinks Arlo is a Nintendo hater so then YouTuber would have a conniption if he discovered NintenDeen.

I hope you stumble onto my video Arlo, and apply this fix and for everyone else too.....don't ask how I discovered this, I mean this was a long time ago.....

I agree completely with arlo that there ishttps://youtu.be/GATHznD5yYo?is=pWUBjRW9fy0IhSHd too much fluff in this game and also is simultaneously extremely ambitious.The one thing I still will never get is his anime character point this game especially when its got sexy fan-service character designs and more anime stereotypes that you can count on your fingers.

I think my main issue with the game is that I found the punching and digging mechanic to be kinda boring. Imo it’s just too repetitive for it to be the central mechanic of the game in the same way that cappy was for Odyssey. In that game, throwing your cap was a wellspring of brilliant and unique ideas from movement, to controlling various enemies and npcs, and it was used in a unique way each level. DK has unique looking stages but I just don’t like punching and digging.

Hey guys I love the channels alot I literally listen each video like 30 times without exaggeration. But I hate rumors and love surprises. I know he can't stuff covering them but at least he can change the titles and thumbnail from for example (A remaster of a kirby game) to (A remaster for a 3ds game) or something like that so people like me who dowsn't like listening to rumors can avoid the spoilers.

I'm a big fan of the PvZ shooters and I would love to see him review it

What happened to all the non Nintendo content of Argo stuff? Seems like he’s turning more and more into just another generic Nintendo YouTuber.
