Hey folks, got a couple of updates to share relating to the future of the channel.

My goal for February is to get 2 videos out. One will be a compilation of my 3D Mario videos with some bonus content thrown in to make for a more 'complete' series retrospective. So, don't be alarmed by a random 5-hour 3D Mario video probably coming soon lol.

The next video will be on Metroid Prime 4. It will be a pretty lengthy one, but I'm confident I can complete it in the coming weeks. The script is nearly finished, so be on the lookout!

Beyond (pun intended) those videos, there are a few more I have in mind and in active development; videos that discuss games you might not necessarily expect from this channel. I still consider myself pretty new to this whole YouTube thing, so the videos I've made up to this point, I almost view as 'training.' These last few years have been spent trying to find my own unique voice and style, and that is a goal I'm still working toward. But one thing will always be true: my content will be a reflection of my interests at the time.

My current vision for the future of this channel is to cover a variety of different games, but focus on RPGs, action games, and series retrospectives. (Similar to my DKC/Mario Kart videos) Nintendo isn't going anywhere, trust me; I still plan on covering 2D Metroid, Xenoblade Chronicles, Zelda--just to name a few.

I have a few videos in the works on games like Persona 3, Bloodborne, Dark Souls, Undertale, and even more ideas I haven't started on yet. I would also like to do some more off-the-cuff or broader topic videos, but I haven't settled on anything as of now.

As always, I am not making any promises here. My life continues to get busier and more chaotic, so I will work on videos when I feel like it. Thank you all so much for your support over the past year--y'all are the reason I keep doing this!

(P.S. - If you want to watch a phenomenal video about the ways in which games can leave positive impacts on us in spite of their low quality, I would highly recommend checking out my friend ‪@Brian.Henken‬ 's new video. [ https://youtu.be/lui_nfeTlsU?si=0S2Io... ] It is being misrepresented all over social media and subsequently dogpiled. He could really use your support!)

Happy near year, everybody! Just wanted to make a quick announcement that there most likely will not be a video uploaded to the channel this month. Instead, I will take the time to work on a variety of projects and hopefully develop a healthy pipeline for the next couple of months. I already have a couple of videos in the works that I think you'll enjoy! (Picture maybe related ;))

Hey everyone, in case you missed it -- I posted a video looking back on all the games I played throughout 2025! Also talked a bit about what made this year such a special year for me personally. If you're interested, you can watch here! https://youtu.be/Qk3xyswBwn0?si=73lTW...

In just a couple more hours, Metroid Prime 4 will FINALLY arrive… Kinda surreal.

Hey everyone! ICYMI: I released my video on Donkey Kong Bananza today. I just wanted to quickly come on here and thank you all so much for the response to it! As I mentioned, it was a daunting one to put out, but the responses have been nothing short of incredible. Almost every comment was constructive, respectful, and very much appreciated. Feels good to be reminded how awesome my audience is sometimes. <3

Hi everyone, I have some exciting updates to share!

First off, I’m announcing that my next video will be on Donkey Kong Bananza. I have a lot I want to say about this game, and it’ll surely generate a lot of discussion. Progress has been steady, and it won’t be too long until it’s ready to release.

Next, I’ve been wanting to experiment with different styles of content on this channel for a while now. I definitely enjoy making the type of content I do currently, but there are limitations that come with it. I want to do a better job expressing my personality through my discussion of games, and that can be difficult in a scripted format. I also don’t want to limit myself to dissecting a single game or series in one video.

So, what does this mean for you as a viewer? Don’t worry, I have no plans to slow down my usual production of scripted videos—all this means is that you’ll have more content to watch, and an opportunity to get to know me a bit better. No matter the format, this channel will be dedicated to discussing games at length, with some critical and personal analysis. I’m planning on making the first of this new kind of video fairly soon, so be on the lookout, and be sure to give me any feedback you have!

Lastly, to mark this new era, I have commissioned new channel art. This means that I will be officially retiring the Toon Link branding. 😔 When I started this channel, I used a Toon Link screenshot as a sort of placeholder until I figured out what I wanted my branding to be, but it just kind of stuck for longer than I’d intended.

With all that said, I’m excited to see what the future holds, and I hope you are, too! Thanks for reading!

Hey folks,

Got a small update for you. Since my last video, I got engaged, moved to a new town, and started working full-time! As I’m sure you can imagine, YouTube has been on the back burner for me recently. However, I’m looking to rectify that in the coming weeks, with my next major video being on Hollow Knight. I’ve still got a decent amount left to do on the script, but I’ve been making steady progress, and you won’t have to wait too much longer.

After that, I’m going to do my best to fit work for this channel into my routine now that I’m a little more settled in. I’m confident I’ll be able to make it work; it’s always very motivating to see your feedback!

I’ve felt pretty bad about the lack of uploads and audience interaction lately, but hopefully this post demonstrates why that had to be. Stay tuned for my next video, and let’s hope we get a Silksong shadow drop tomorrow! 🤞
