They can now start Astro Bot 2 they have a new game to copy from
I don't do wiimote for these types of games so it's not for me.Odyssey is very beatable imo. Galaxy 1&2 for starters.
All are better than Astrobot imo. But AB is still quite a joy.
Nice one.I don't do wiimote for these types of games so it's not for me.
Oh hell yeah this'll be sick to play in between episodes of Teletubbies and Blue's Clues
Nah. Mario will use a different engine maybe open world.Seems like this is the new "Mario"

Damn bro I ain't never heard Nintendo is for kids!
Straight fire added to the discourse.
Wish we had regular controls.
If it hasn't been said, the reason why they didn't announce it was the Odyssey team making this right off the bat because Nintendo remembers how pissy the internet got when it announced a new Donkey Kong. "Retro's resources were being used making eFFing Donkey being?! How insulting."
Now we got Mario's time and resources allocated to Donkey Kong. Ultimately now that everyone is all in the coast is clear to announce the developers.
Still I will say this, I doubt this is all they've been working on all this time since Odyseey or Bowsers Fury. I bet there are multiple teams now composed of Odyssey developers.
Astro Bot is nothing like Odyssey, it's purely level based compared to Odyssey which was open ended level design. Did you actually play Astro Bot???Nah, it means they can make Astro Bot 2 and just carbon copy Donkey Kong just like how they did Odyssey with the first one.
Team ASOBI is almost certainly more excited to play the new DK than anyone here. More than any other developer, they deeply appreciate a fantastic 3D platformer.Team ASOBI right now:

Bruh. You Nintendo fanboys act so weird towards Astro Bot. The insecurity is hilarious. That game really broke ya'll .Nah, it means they can make Astro Bot 2 and just carbon copy Donkey Kong just like how they did Odyssey with the first one.
Not really. It made back all of its money and it most likely turned a profit by now. Sony never expected it to sell 10M+. Sony considered it a big success at their 2025 meetings.Why? I loved me some Astro Bot, but didn't it underperform?
Insecurity man. That game really broke them. I think many Nintendo fanboys think that it should only be Nintendo that make great platformers.What's this Post insinuating? That Astrobot looks better than this game? If so: LOL.
You sound stupid AF. I bet you also think Rare copied Mario 64 by making Banjo.Yes they carbon copied it, now they will do the same for the sequel
This is a DKB thread and for some reason it's now an AstroBot thread, yes, some fanboys are so insecure...Bruh. You Nintendo fanboys act so weird towards Astro Bot. The insecurity is hilarious. That game really broke ya'll .![]()
i just completed first play of oddessy and found the camera in that was weird at times even trying to just center it , it never always worked. so i guess it carry's over then in this game but hopefully it's better.I'm going to assume the next Mario will be out when the movie comes out.
I am surprised they couldn't get the camera right, if you know you're going underground you need to rethink the camera.
Astro Bot is more like Mario Galaxy. No doubt Astro Bot copied aspects off various Nintendo platformers, but I am 99% sure Donkey Kong Bananza isn't the first game with destructible environments. TOTK was quite obviously inspired by the dozens of games that allow you to build things.Astro Bot is nothing like Odyssey, it's purely level based compared to Odyssey which was open ended level design. Did you actually play Astro Bot???
AwwwwwhhBruh. You Nintendo fanboys act so weird towards Astro Bot. The insecurity is hilarious. That game really broke ya'll .![]()
yeah I am sure that is the case, lol.Team ASOBI is almost certainly more excited to play the new DK than anyone here. More than any other developer, they deeply appreciate a fantastic 3D platformer.
You just don't make something as good and as polished as Astro Bot without being a gigantic fan of flagship Nintendo games. Those guys get it.
Team Asobi must be doing something very right, that it makes Nintendo fanboys feel threatened at leastBruh. You Nintendo fanboys act so weird towards Astro Bot. The insecurity is hilarious. That game really broke ya'll .![]()

Well, I like some Nintendo games, I think they can make great stuff when they really want to. And I liked Odyssey well enough.Team Asobi must be doing something very right, that it makes Nintendo fanboys feel threatened at least
Nah, the Industry should absolutely thank Sony for laying the ground work for 3D Platformers in general with Jumping Flash!Well, I like some Nintendo games, I think they can make great stuff when they really want to. And I liked Odyssey well enough.
But when I bought Astrobot it seemed so incredibly obvious to me that it was a lightweight Mario ripoff with a tiny dash of Pikmin and a Sony paint of coat. I got about halfway through and decided I was good. There wasn't anything new to experience, so it certainly wasn't worth the time to continue. I don't know if it's defensiveness but I've seen my share of Sony "fanboys" gushing over Astrobot who have ripped games like Mario to shreds. You can't have it both ways. And even Asobi knows. When they won that game of the year award they got up there and thanked Nintendo profusely (lol). I mean, come on ...
Sony can absolutely make great platformers. Anyone can. They should just try to use their own ideas.
It was a gorgeous game, but incredibly basic in its jumping and platforming mechanics. It doesn't hold a candle to Mario games in that regard. But I think the studio will just get better and better at this genre and Astro Bot 2 will probably be awesome.Bruh. You Nintendo fanboys act so weird towards Astro Bot. The insecurity is hilarious.

Fear. I guess some hardcore Nintendo fanboys are afraid the new DK won't garner the same critical acclaim as Astro Bot, so they speak Ill of it saying it's a rip off apparentlyI don't why Astro Bot even in this topic? DK Bananza plays nothing like Astro Bot.
Why the fuck people like bring their stupid ass fanboyism in every fucking threads?
Special place in hell for these ppl.As someone with a couple oled tvs, a deck oled, and loves oleds, people who post in anything switch 2 related to state they're gonna wait for an oled model are rising up the charts of most annoying posters.
I dont give a fuck about reviews, DK Bananza looks super fun and thats all the reason I need to play it, same reason why I played Astro Bot.Fear. I guess some hardcore Nintendo fanboys are afraid the new DK won't garner the same critical acclaim as Astro Bot, so they speak Ill of it saying it's a rip off apparently
Nobody cares about niche game like Astroboy. A new DK game by Odyssey team that sold 30 million copies(mostly at full price) and not free give away bundle like Astro bot is something to celebrate for real gamers.Fear.

You pretending that DK(I love the Games but this is facts) was ever a big seller in Mario vein is weird to me. DK range is 2-3 million(the WIiU tropical freeze even selling less than that). That is Astro Bot range and that IP is almost completely new at thatNobody cares about niche game like Astroboy.

bro we get that Sony got some bad news today but shitting up a DK thread with nonsense about Astro bot isn't the way to goAlso for a game that nobody "seems" to care, I see it brought up so many times in Mario/DK/Nintendo platformer threads, the last months, by Nintendo fanboys nonetheless![]()
That's Pokémon, Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime, innit?It will be this year's Xmas title.
