Youtube journalist(?) GameXplain is doing a quasi-playthrough. He's not the best but certainly not the worst.

Just realize it's commentated and he can't read Japanese. Also watch out as in a few days I fully expect a spoiler thumbnail of the final boss on his channel. (He has a apparent reputation for it)
Goddamn, I'd seen trailers and screenshots, but it didn't really hit me how beautiful this game is until I saw it during regular ol' gameplay.

I've never understood this complaint. I always thought that the product placement added to the game's charm in a significant way. It really emphasized that we were exploring our earth of the future and finding very familiar items that Olimar had no clue what they were. Finding a Vlasic pickle lid feels more real than finding Capn Briney's Crunchy Pickles would have.

But perhaps I am just a willing pawn of our consumption based society.
Nah, I agree. It's pretty organic product placement, and it contributes to the humor of Olimar and the President just randomly guessing what they're supposed to be.
