Well, folks. They did it. They really, really did it. Let's savor this moment.

Also many thanks to Painter Seap for the incredible animation! Go check out his channel!

Miyamoto's entire segment seemed like he asked himself, "How deep can I stomp Arlo's soul into the ground before finally granting him release?"

[ryancarrell]

I never thought I'd be so invested in seeing a blue muppets' reaction to an announcement of a sequel to a game I've never played...

[thekenster]

Arlo really went through at 76 stages of grief and immediately did them in reverse after he saw Pikmin 4

[enchilordo]

3:55 lol I imagine when arlo said “NO YOU CANT STOP THERE” he was grabbing his monitor and shaking it like the footage was leaving

[the_real_Kurt_Yarish]

This whole thing may be very heartwarming, but Arlo making incomprehensible weeping noises followed by "...clock?" is insanely funny to me.

[albondogus]

Hearing Arlo say “…i t w i l l…?” Is one of the best things I’ve ever heard, certainly one of the most heartwarming things!

[_laurenolo_]

I know so many of us saw that announcement and their first thought was that Arlo must be screaming and jumping for joy

[epicwolves]

This is truly the moment Arlo became Pikmin.

[PizzaHutAsuka]

the pure catharsis in that moment was tangible. the shaky "what is it?", the rising falsetto, its like art

[matt]

Two things went through my head during that whole presentation, the first was that Miyamoto was deliberately trolling Pikmin fans talking about Bloom for an hour, and the second was that I was half expecting him to end it with “ok we did it Arlo, you can shut up now”

[kingsmithgaming]

This is a historic moment, in 100 years children at school will read about Arlo's reaction to the Pikmin 4 announcement in their text books

[PrincessAquos]

You know it's serious when Arlo doesn't even scream like he did with Metroid Prime 4

He just whimpered and cried

This is a man who was definitively and elaborately broken for the past, like, 6 years

It's here Arlo. Our savior is on the horizon. The promised land is within view.

[solomon]

You can practically HEAR Arlo reaching around the room grabbing things to make sure he’s awake and that this is real

[lykanaslupus]

It's so touching to see that it's not a scream or an insane tantrum. Just Arlo sobbing and crying in happiness.

[dimensiondetective]

I think this is comparable to someone being in a desert for so long that they have encountered a countless number of mirages, to the point where when they touch a real oasis they go “wait... have my hands started lying to me too?”

[TheBlackShadow]

This is pure gold. It's like seeing a child get the Christmas present they've been asking for years.

[FoxBlocksHere]

I love how everyone collectively thought of this blue monster when we saw that announcement. Just goes to show how much we love him!

[NathanielBandy]

You were the first person I thought of when this dropped

[TheQuackinator]

I saw Pikmin 4 get announced and I knew that somewhere on this planet, a blue fuzzy monster was having the highlight of his year.
