I'm absolutely the kind of person who would normally be annoyed with something like a cursor in the middle of the screen all the time, but if that's pushing you away from the game just know that it was never a problem for me. When you're playing you don't really notice that it's there unless you're using it, and it's probably a lot more obvious when you're just watching footage of the game. Just something to think about.

Even if it is not your favorite, you find a way to show both pro and cons for all. Arlo, thank you for working very hard and giving it your all for good reviews for people who are considering the game. Nice review video as well! I hope to see more of you and your videos in the future! I wish you the best! Sincerely, PixelPerfect 😊 P.S. If you do a review on Super Smash Bros, please give a nice shoutout to the Inkling please!

Executer 66, there is something that most people seems to forget when complaining about the loads of ports coming in. The Wii U was a financial failure and is the least sold console in nintendo history according to stats. Games that were on the Wii U didn't got alot of sales. Therefore, it would be wise to port games that people missed out on during the Wii U era so that they still have a chance to play the best games that was on a console they didn't brought.

Probably gonna pick it up myself. The demo was really fun.

This game is so adorable. The animations for these toads are so expressive. They don't talk, but they say a lot. It's not a really difficult game, but I like the variety of levels and it's a nice relaxing game. I like exploring the levels and finding everything. It's a short game, but good all the way through - has really excellent pacing.

I love Toad as a character. He is one of my favorite Mario characters, so I was excited when this was announced on the Wii U. I had been wanting Toad to get his own game for years, and I'm happy that Nintendo found a unique gameplay style for the character. I wasn't blown away by it, but it was a nice distraction and I will say that it was a unique experience. You know what would be really cool, though? A Super Mario Galaxy spinoff starring Captain Toad and his crew. They were all such cute characters in the Galaxy games, and I always wanted to see the shenanigans they were up to while Mario was out doing the real work. It would be a cute cartoon series, too. As you can tell, I love Toad. 😁

Just found your channel within the past 2 weeks and you are quickly becoming one of my favorite reviewers. I'm having a blast going through your old videos. Thanks for brightening up to my last few days and keep up the good work.

This review is missing from the "Game Reviews" playlist! Which is great because that means I wasn't finished listening to all your reviews, but now I have to hunt for more possible missing reviews from the playlist. Also, I love you channel Arlo! Keep up the good work :D

Nintendo is trying to distract Arlo from his opinion that the game doesn't have enough content with Food

11:34 I was playing Splatoon 2 while watching the video and I got matched up with a guy called Totti the moment you said that.

Let me start off by saying that I love this channel. The thoughtful insights presented in each video are second to none. But.... I would really love to see more of the character of Arlo. Arlo’s screentime is usually limited to small chunks at the beginning and end of each video. The videos mainly consist of his voice. I’d love to learn more about this character and see him interact in different environments.

Great review. I largely agree except for the mention of low content. Having just finished the game I feel like there was ample amount. It felt complete to me--though yes, a better narrative would've definitely heightened the "complete" feeling.

Oh this game is so much fun! It truly feels like a little action puzzle game, it's really adorable. And the side missions can get really challenging, with a lot of creative and diverse missions. I can't recommend this enough. Especially if you manage to find it for about 30 bucks. Don't hesitate!

I had this game on the Wii U, but I always thought it was really only fun to play in short bursts, a few levels at a time. Thank God for the Switch.
