🕑 Added 2018-09-05 23:47:09 +0000 UTCHey there! Wowy zowy, I just got back from PAX West and boy are my everything tired! But I had an amazing time, and I hope to talk about it in an upcoming Arlocast. Since it's so important but at the same time probably not QUITE important enough to make a whole video about, I'll probably make it public so that any of my fans can enjoy it. However for you loyal $3+ people I do plan on doing a regular old Arlocast soon as well, and I've got a bunch of topics I'll save for it. I wanted to get it out before I left, but obviously that didn't happen. XP
But onto what I'm working on! Tomorrow afternoon is a Nintendo Direct, and you know what that means! I'll be putting up my live reaction/commentary video as soon as I can. Then, the next day, I'll be posting the usual discussion video. I don't have any huge hopes for this Direct, but that don't mean I ain't excited for it!
Then a week later I'll be posting a review for Undertale. I was lucky enough to nab an early review copy, so I'm looking forward to digging into it. I played the game way after the fact and I didn't even complete it, so this is finally a great chance to give it a proper shake.
After that I'll be posting a first impressions video based on my time with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at PAX. I didn't get to play it a lot, so it will be fairly minimal, but I'm hoping to make it a little more interesting by also including some of the other games I played on my trip. That includes PAX and a special press event that I got to attend at Nintendo of America headquarters in Redmond, WA! It was really cool, and I can't wait to tell you more about it in the cast!
Finally there's the "Switch Million Sellers" video. I THINK I told you guys about this, but in case I didn't, it's a discussion about the Switch's top-selling games and what the numbers all mean for the Switch and those series. I put it off because the reception for "What Makes a Game 'PERFECT for Switch?'" wasn't great. Lots of people getting tired of hearing me talk about the same old games again and again. Which is totally fair! So I put off doing the million sellers video for a while. But hopefully in a few weeks people will be a little more receptive to such a discussion.
Here's the schedule as it is now, but it can always change:
September 6
Direct Commentary
September 7
Direct Discussion
September 14
Undertale Review
September 18
Smash First Impressions
September 22
Switch Million Sellers
That's all I've got for you now, but I'll catch you tomorrow with the DIREEEECT!!! Many thanks to any new patrons this week!

I read this three times before I realized that it was a joke!

So what you're saying is that your hopes for this Direct ARE LOW?

Sadly the direct has been delayed because of an earthquake
I'm ready to watch whatever you give us. I love your discussion videos in particular. The video genre matters not though, when I see an Arlo upload, my world stops. The analysis is always spot-on, your personality glows, and the video length is perfect. Keep up the great work, my blue dude!

So you're gonna open up that can of Undertale hornets. Well good luck.
I don’t think those who didn’t receive that video perfectly, myself included, weren’t disagreeing with Arlo (I agree with the statements he made in it) but we’re just burned out of hearing the same things over and over again. Obviously I love Arlo, it’s just getting a little burned out you know?
Arlo
Possibly! You never know!
If there’s something major in the direct tomorrow (Pikmin 4, Animal Crossing, Mario Maker, major Metroid Prime 4 details, you get it) will that get its own video?

Hope those new Arlocasts release soon! :)

What, people didn't like 'what makes a game perfect for switch'? That... Makes sense cuz opinions, but I personally don't get it. Owning a PS4 and a Switch, I found the topic fascinating and really sold me on why games may be better for one vs the other. Really looking forward to what's coming next though. :)
Evan
Maybe you can be the one to finally sell me Undertale. I don’t get it!
