Alright guys, I'm tired of explaining myself for the hundredth time to people who didn't watch the video but still left their angry attacks and dislikes exactly like how I predicted in the video (it's almost like I know what I'm talking about, huh?). Last time I'm saying this: ***I play on all systems.*** Played Indiana Jones on my Xbox today, and Bit.Trip on my Steam Deck last night (and, no, I'm not saying those games are masterpieces, I'm only being *honest* about what I played recently as examples). I am only a fanboy of good games. If Nintendo releases a bad game or product (like Alarmo which I slammed on this channel in my review, check it out) I'll talk about it. I don't think every Nintendo game is good. The world is not so black-and-white that just because my channel has "Nintendo" in its name then that means I'm not human and I have no human opinions and can only like Nintendo shit. Use your brain if you have one. I am not endorsed by or paid by Nintendo, period. Never will be and I'll tell you clearly if that ever changes. I don't care if you enjoy Astro Bot, and I'm not saying it's bad. It's just a derivative knockoff not worthy of GotY if we want to call games "art" like Geoff Keighley wants to. My Temu knockoff shoes might be good but they are not winning "Shoe of the Year." Bad example? Fine, then make your own example. Use your brain. I can't do all the critical thinking for you. I'm sorry your parents or school systems failed you all so miserably. Once again: I am not sorry and nobody has changed my mind. In fact, your hostile comments calling me a "fanboy" despite the video proving you wrong has made me more proud of myself for being so damn right about all of you. So, was your mission accomplished? Not at all. Your lack of respectful and constructive criticism has resulted in the opposite of what you wanted. I now think lesser of Sony fanboys. To the few people who liked this video and subscribed: thank you. You are why I make videos and will never stop. I appreciate every intelligent person who watched the video and didn't attack me like a foolish Sony fanboy. This is the last long comment you'll get from me for this video. I might reply in a shorter format to particularly brain-rotted comments or, more importantly, messages of support. Thanks to the new subscribers. Stick around for more fun stuff. Oh, and to that one genius who said I would've supported Tears of the Kingdom for GotY: You know nothing. I did not like Tears of the Kingdom and would never vote for it. Thanks for proving me right that you only think in black and white.
0:43 - Hahahhaah "Rip off from Nintendo" *showing Super Mario 64* hahahha... Nintendo literally stole the engine for Super Mario 64 from the developers of Croc, afteir rejecting their demonstration game with all of the source code used for the final S.Mario 64 game without their permission. At the end of the day, Croc 1 and 2 still got released by that rejected studio on PS1 and was 10 fold better than your pathetic plumber game. Not to mention that it's the Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank and Crash Bandicoot that truly defined and Inspired the platofmer genre, Mr. Ignorant, which belongs to Sony for many decades now. You just refuse to leave your own bubble.
Y'know just because you predict people will dislike your video and leave angry comments doesn't invalidate that response, if anything it points to you having a poorly thought out take when even you anticipated such strong backlash... If I go to a public street with a megaphone and announce my intention to shit my pants and predict that everyone around to whitness it will response by covering their nose and say "eww gross" and then it happens I didn't get one over on the public by predicting their actions, I just shat my pants and acted smug about it
@@RJH755 No it means I know how people lack critical thinking and only watch 2 minutes of the video. I have stats. I know how long people watch. I don't respect people who run their mouth and attack me and miss the point of the video. Or who make multiple accounts to harass me here and on Twitter and dislike bomb irrelevant videos.
@@NintendoUpDotCom Watched the whole video and you gave no examples of Astro Bot ripping off Nintendo aside from a GameXplain video that I'm pretty sure was meant as a joke since it goes as far as comparing the gatcha machine to Smash Melee, so any game witch a gatcha machine is a Nintendo ripoff I guess. Also since you said "Astro Bot didn't try anything new, it's literally just a ripoff of Nintendo" I'm curious can you point me to any Nintendo games that had the same shrinking gimmick as the mouse ability?
@@RJH755 I guess suck it up and wait for a new video about it. Why write 100 essays only one person will read per essay? I can make a video thousands can watch rather than a TH-cam comment.
the thing I hate most about this situation is that everyone is saying how good Astrobot is which I'm sure its a good game but the point is its not the GOTY
Holy Fuck they robbed Wukong from GOTY. Look at the history of past winners-every single one (maybe not all) had a massive impact on gaming. Astro Bot is a good, fun game, but as an exclusive, it lacks the reach that other GOTY had. After all what kind of GOTY is it if it can't reach majority of its audience. Compare to the other exclusive, Breath of the Wild, which completely redefined the Zelda franchise, introducing revolutionary mechanics that inspired games like Genshin Impact. Or take Elden Ring, which expanded Dark Souls to a wider audience and introduced countless players to the "Soulslike" genre, sparking a wave of imitators. Last year's GOTY, Baldur's Gate 3, went even further, reviving an entire genre with incredible player choice and narrative depth. Now consider Wukong: the first AAA Chinese game, built on rich source material, with impressive player agency, combat, and storytelling. It’s a groundbreaking achievement, fitting for a GOTY title. While Astro Bot is undeniably fun, it's no where near the level of innovation, influence, or genre-defining impact that past winners have brought to the industry.
Astro Bot vs. Black Myth Wukong was tough for me, but the page explicitly said it was about the technical aspect too, so I ended up voting for Astro Bot simply because it's not made in Unreal. I did vote for Wukong in other categories.
Astro is a great game. Mario Odyssey has way too many moons that are just out in the open and easy. Mario Wonder has weak boss design and seems made for nongamers with it's focus on graphic design.
a console exclusive winning game of the year is insane, an entire console left out of the voting. Thats insane and makes it look like a rigged win. The game is also full of references which makes it a massive imitator of other games relying heavily on nostalgia, which you won't even have if you never played any of the games they're referencing which would be like playing a game that you have to read a lore book for before you play in order to get all the jokes. No one was even talking about astro bot a month after it released because it was a one and done kind of game. It was out for only 3 months out of the year and won, too? C'mon. Now this reminds me of how game informer magazine used to be a reliable metric of good games, but got bought out and just became an ad for AAA titles regardless of how bad the games were they'd get glowing reviews just to push the product. Its like how movies nowadays are getting highly rated reviews by paid critics, but the actual audience of people recognizes how crap the movie actually is and are confused on how it could have possibly got such a high score. This is just such a massive letdown and indicative of a decline in games and those who control the platforms.
Personally glad it won game of the year as it will hopefully mean studios will go back to producing quality platform games. As for the Mario claim yeah I’d agree it’s definitely borrowed heavily from those games, but is that really a bad thing considering Mario has inspired so many games over the years.
You said the comment section would be angry, but instead, everyone’s just blindly agreeing with you. And you admitted you didn’t even play the game. You're pointing out elements inspired by Nintendo, but completely ignoring how Astro Bot innovates in its own way. The game has mechanics like the Mouse ability, which changes level dynamics as you shrink and grow, and its use of the DualSense is on another level. There are areas where it even outshines Nintendo. Plus, we barely get great 3D platformers anymore, so why not celebrate this one winning Game of the Year? And about your argument that 'GOTY needs innovation'-have you even looked at the other nominees? FF7 Rebirth is a remake, Metaphor isn’t bringing anything new, and Black Myth: Wukong is rehashing ideas we’ve seen before. Your logic doesn’t hold up.
You clearly are not reading the comments or seeing the dislikes. I was completely right. I am getting harassed by Sony fanboys making multiple accounts to leave nasty comments and dislike bomb my videos. You really know nothing.
@@franklingoodwin Wow. Where did I say that Astro Bot doesn't deserve GotY because it's exclusive to one system? Nowhere. Was never my point. Someone else said that in the comments but I disagree with that point. That never mattered. I play on ALL systems. Read the pinned comment.
@@WhiteBeard640 he’s just another frustrated man who got destroyed by a little cute robot hahaha, Astro bot is the winner and no matter how hard they cry, it still the winner and their fans happy
Why I haven't played this game? Because it is available only on PS5 and priced at $60. Do you really agree with that a PS5-exclusive and 10h game worth $60? How can an expensive, exclusive, and short game win GOTY (For comparison, a similar GOTY winner , It Takes Two, was cheaper, non-exclusive, and longer)? And I also really want to know how can a single-player game won best family game? How can a Mario-like game won best direction award? The success of little bot on TGA was absolutely designed for advertising sony PS5.
I think you need to know the difference between inspired and rip off. Astro bot more leans towards inspired. Did they use some Nintendo mechanics? Yes that’s the inspiration. But they combined it with ps5 capabilities which isn’t possible on Nintendo such as the duel sense controller features. Overwatch won game of the year and by your own logic it’s “ wow this is just tf2 mid game “ I’m curious what game is more deserving to you? Wukong because I can tell you that game is very surface level.
@ Nice you got 2/3 unfortunately tho lacking on the third department being a brain. Again I ask you what game for you is more deserving? You can like a game more than Astro bot that’s good. But don’t write it off completely for what it is.
@@dreadseed9552You lack the brain thinking everyone needs to get on their knees and accept whatever shit is pushed onto them from a completely ridiculous awards show by Geoff Keighley. No matter which game I say deserves it (watch the video if you want to know, since I actually say which game I think deserves it in the damn video) you will still bitch and moan and say I am not allowed to have an opinion that doesn't agree 100% with whatever you were told to think.
Some nintendo mechanics? Are you kidding? The entire game is literally copy+paste, I wouldn't be surprised if the devs even copied the coding of the game. It's def not "inspired" Also your Overwatch example was also ridiculous. Yes it did copy some mechanics and some characters too. However it had a ton of new characters and other ideas as well. It was a completely fresh new game with TF 2 DNA, you cannot say the same with Astrobot. It's just Mario with a reskin.
Not bait, I didn't force Sony fanboys to come here and attack me and make multiple accounts to harass and dislike bomb. Believe me I could have made this bait if I wanted to with a much more provacative thumbnail and title.
That's because they know it's true that 1 they mocked nintendo fans for playing platformers until a platformers that made it's name off the games they were mocking. The irony lol I actually like astro bot and most nintendo fans do but it's funny.. its a great game
I have played Astro Bot. I own both a switch and a ps5 and enjoy both quite well. Do I think Astro Bot copied Nintendo, no I don’t. Saying a game copied another for using basic game mechanics that have been used in a genre (in this case 3d platformer) for ages does not mean it is copied. Do all games that use a parry feature, or a double jump ability, or some sort of item that lets you glide, a copy of the original that used it. Maybe you could argue that but the way that it is used, the unique level design, the characters, the vibe, all of that can make up for it. And I’m not saying astrobot is a 100% original game. But really is any game 100% original, any game (especially made by a big studio) will take major inspiration from other successful studios, every single game does it and some to the excessive degree and no one would complain. I would have been happy with astrobot or wukong winning Goty because they both were good, and most importantly fun games.
@Hellonice1234 when u say u own a switch, did u own a nintendo Wii, gamecube and n64? Did u also play mario 64, sunshine, galaxy 1 and 2 and odyssey? Did u play metroid prime? Splatoon? Starfox even zelda botw and tears of the kingdom? There are mechanics from a huge list of nintendo games rolled into one here? Some a very ironic that we have never seen in other video game ever... for example morphine ball from metroid or link swimming up a waterfall in botw.. there are dozens which only people who played nintendo games will pick on.. not the sony fans who have been bashing nintendo as kiddie consoles for decades.. Why its a big deal is because is game apparently pays homage to sony history but it's doing it by copying (or as some calling inspired by) dozens of nintendo games. It's almost like it paying homage to nintendo games but sony and nintendo are rivals. So that's the problem. I think that the director did at the award dedicating his award was classy and the right the thing to do.. winning goty and not referencing nintendo would have been wrong. Without Nintendo, astro bot would be impossible.
Nitntendo invented: slides, hovering, platforms, jumping, planets, levels, size, guns, swiming, explosions. Dude no matter how hard u try to say u are not a fanboy is just stupid because all of your arguments are things that have existed even before nintendo
I can't disagree more with it just being a copy of Nintendo. All games are derived of something else. Astrobot is simply a game made by a fan of Nintendo platforming games. It's like kindrick's album based on lil wayne, it's something he grew up with and now making his own version. Pokemon = dragon quest Zelda = Christian boy Fps = doom clone Platformer = mario All of these typically give some form of credit to the predecessors and usually as an ester egg. He simply thanked Nintendo for giving him the inspiration as a kid to go on to make his version of a platformer.
@Shady-Frank dude you clearly haven't played pokemon and dragon quest lol one is a catching monsters and trading them the other is your typical JRPG about saving the world. If you're going on about monster design, they're nothing alike. I dont get the zelda Christian boy but u clearly never played zelda 1 before.
@SwitchVibes64 I mean monster quest and pokemon have more similarities than palworld. Also, the creator of zelda was going to base the game off of Christianity, like God of war to Greek mythos, but Nintendo told him to remove everything christian.
They didn't copy, they made a platformer, also at 0:22 you said "I don't give a shit, I'm not wrong" it's opinions, some people can say they dislike astro bot and others can say they love astro bot, they both have amazing reasons on why astro bot is good or bad. I just wanted to say its an opinion.
I'm not wrong for having this opinion. That's my point. Look at all the stupid comments blaming me for simply daring to have an unpopular opinion. Critical thinking is dead.
It's me being tired of Reddit users that attack my articles with their low IQ. I am cool with constructive criticism that has some intelligence. I reply to comments respectfully if they show me respect.
@@NintendoUpDotCom Hmm... Well with all due respect you seem to have a strong opinion about Astro Bot but you imply that you haven't played it. Dismissing as a ripoff doesn't really do it justice when your only experience is videos about it. Though I agree Metaphor Refantazio should have won instead.
I mean, when I am looking at Astro Bot winning GOTY, it isn't all that bad from a fan perspective. Has it been mentioned to death over thousands of times online? Yes. Is it a bad game? No, but it did take most of its core inspiration from Nintendo and their old past first party retro titles and big first party titles, and that is saying something. But I don't know if it really deserved GOTY as it did, it feels kind of... off. That's just my opinion though, but did it really deserve that title? I might be overthinking that a little here, sure, but it did get get a lot of people to turn against one of the biggest video game delivering companies of all time. I like the game, but the praise might have pushed it too far, imo.
I totally respect your opinion even though I respectfully disagree. No idea is original and most games that we play and see are variations of games we've already seen so my issue is, if you have the opinion that Astro Bot shouldn't have won GOTY which is fine then neither should Black Myth which a souls game "ripoff" or Metaphor which copied from a bunch of jrpg's...By the logic I interpreted that you have ( I could be wrong) no game should win any awards if it's not a 100% wholly original concept...I have no issue with the opinion you expressed, I'm just wondering the point...I did watch the video and some points were fair but seemed like the intent was to be antagonistic but then you get defensive if gamers got antagonized...Just a little confused...Would you have made the same type of video if another game won? It seems very targeted and I think that's why some gamers are upset although disrespect isn't necessary However, all due love and respect to you, keep doing your thing...Peace
See, if all comments were like this then I would maybe change my mind a little. (Maybe, but probably not). You disagreed but were respectful. I don't have time to reply to everything you said since I've already talked at length about this stuff in other comments. Unfortunately, because of toxic Sony fanboys making multiple accounts to harass me and dislike all my videos, I no longer want to be associated with Sony (I have a PS4 with hundreds of games). Those Sony fanboys lost Sony money by being so obnoxious, vile, and idiotic. But, again, if they were like you then I would perhaps give Astro Bot another look... But...no, sorry, I wouldn't change my mind about this game. I don't think I'm wrong even when taking a second look.
@@NintendoUpDotCom Understood, I get it but by disassociating yourself with a brand that makes games you may like because of a stupid fringe element (which every game platform has and its all bad, one is not better than the other) gives them power over you that you shouldn't allow them to have, just my opinion, take from that what you will...Remember Sony and Playstation didn't say these things, stupid people did...I'm a PS guy, team blue, to my core, the XBOX community which can be equally as vile has said crazy things to me, but I will never give them the satisfaction of not playing my XBOX, in fact, I play it more and critique (fairly and objectively) MORE of their games just because it may piss them off, two can play that game...Games are personal, play em all, don't let this internet shit get under your skin, tell em "thank you for your comment" and move on, that energy burns their souls when you don't engage...Let em make all the accounts they want...Peace and Love
Astrobot is a compilation of beloved platforming mechanics. Dk country remaster is a remaster of a singular retro game probably at $70. Not the same bro. I don't even like either one. If dk country was in a compilation of remasters with new levels or anything, then I'd agree it could be goty. For example, the nes collection thing could be a good nominee if people loved it enough.
@@Shady-Frank I don't want DKCR HD to win GotY even if it was in a compilation of remasters like you described. GotY is something like Ocarina of Time, innovative and game changing. Or at least as close to that ideal as possible.
@NintendoUpDotCom but ocarina of time is also derived from other sources like reincarnation and time travel, both existing in games before it. I'm just not understanding how astrobot is an alleged compilation of beloved mechanics in a single game is not art of any kind. Zelda is a hack n slash rpg, same as astrobot is a bot themed platformer. Just the art alone is reason enough for me to deem it as art. Same as how zelda had great art and a compilation of hack n slash rpg mechanics.
@@Shady-Frank At the time Ocarina of Time released, there was nothing else like it. I said "all games copy" but there is a line and Astro Bot clearly crossed it if you watched the footage. You can't say Ocarina of Time was just a ripoff in the same way Astro Bot is. That's just clearly not true. There are levels. It's not black and white.
@NintendoUpDotCom But that footage was taken from a single game from a single game development team vs. a multi dev team umbrella. It's not at all 1 to 1. I mean even the swinging animation looked more fluid and refined than the mario variant. Zelda was a simple hack n slash rpg with puzzles. There were many hack n slash rpgs even on Nintendo. Just because the same mechanisms appear on screen doesn't mean it's plagiarism. Code is complicated and the fact it looks more refined to be more floaty is a completely valid derivative. Just like zelda used bombs and walls, they made it feel more zelda like than any predecessors. I love Nintendo's innovation and I love sony's refinement. Both are completely valid in the same way a love lovecraftian story can still be unique enough to stand outside of lovecraft. (Like bird box)
@NintendoUpDotCom Also fishing, some puzzles existed in various game formats, swimming like the Zora, playing songs to activate effects, sword and shields, grappling hooks, bows and arrows, torches with fire mechanics, even the Ganon fight existed in pong. Nintendo "plagiarizes" just as much as astrobots did. They simply complied it into a unique experience that the player hasn't seen done before. I haven't played astrobot, but the footage seemed quite different art wise and clearly took mechanics from many different genres, not just platformers, same as OoT. I agree that Oot was a bit more innovative for its time, but by now, almost every unique mechanic current engines can do has been done. Which is why Nintendo takes so much from existing titles, especially from their abandoned games.
While I do believe astro bot deserved GOTY over the other competitors, I can respect your opinion. However, they had changed the rule of not letting DLC be nominated as GOTY this year JUST for elden ring's DLC, which is one of the stupidest things they have ever done. But I can agree with you that some of the other nominees deserved GOTY more, like Metaphor or Black Myth: Wukong. I do think astro bot won it fairly though.
Oof this is just hating. Imagine if Nintendo released Astro Bot where the game entered other Nintendo game worlds and had Link or Samus powers. Also if the switch had the same dualsense feel. Then it should win game of the year. The controller is innovative. You would have "switched" feelings if this was a Nintendo exclusive
If it were a Nintendo exclusive developed by Nintendo...wait for it... IT WOULDN'T BE A RIPOFF. How can Nintendo ripoff its own inventions? The whole point of this video was not that Astro Bot "sucks" it's that derivative products are not worthy of GotY if we want to go around saying games are "art" like Geoff Keighley. No. Then my Temu knockoff shoes are deserving of "Shoe of the Year." They should be in a museum.
Astro Bot was frikin amazing. But was it goty material? Yes. But you know what else was? Silent Hill 2 remake. At least for the nomination but it didnt even get that. So many times I thought that it was gonna win something for like best sound direction or best voice actor, but nope. Snubbed every time. A lot of Silent Hill purist fans wrote off the remake because of Bloober, but I had a lot of faith in them because I really enjoyed The Medium and knew that those devs understood psychological horror. The fact that Silent Hill 2 remake didnt even get a nomination but Re4 Remake did (another amazing remake btw) says alot about how phoney these game awards really are. Some choices absolutely deserved the wins while some made me raise my eyebrow. To be honest, I knew Astro Bot would win purely out of the accessibility to a wider audience and thats not because its solely on ps5 but because both adults and children can have a blast with it and not have to worry about anything too challenging. It just fun. Silent Hill 2 remake probably wouldn't even have beat it even if it was in the same category, but it wouldve at least gave it a run for its money versus Wukong, Balatro and Elden Rings dlc.
@@cheesecheese6459 How is my opinion disingenuous? I thought it was a slog. It wasn't as bad as some prior years but it was still a slog. And for Nintendo fans, it was a pointless waste of time (not a single official win for Nintendo and almost no reveals). Thankfully I do play on all systems.
2 things 1 astro bot is not a ripoff it's inspired by Mario and other platformers that's like saying racing games are a copy of sonic games it's just wrong 2 it was not rigged, Sony did not buy the award nothing like that, the reason why it won was because it literally had more blood, sweat, and tears poured into it unlike games like black myth wukong that had no originally either and was a souls like game everyone wanted to win which is a horrible boring genre to me, a dlc was nominated, didn't deserve it, the anime game that I forgot the name of is literally just a hoyoverse game ripoff, and balatro was a fine poker game but not worthy of goty but astro proves people want fun and good platformers in the industry Mario shouldn't be the only character to have then we need the era back where these characters were everywhere, even if it's shovel wear
0:43 - Hahahhaah "Rip off from Nintendo" *showing Super Mario 64* hahahha... Nintendo literally stole the engine for Super Mario 64 from the developers of Croc, afteir rejecting their demonstration game with all of the source code used for the final S.Mario 64 game without their permission. At the end of the day, Croc 1 and 2 still got released by that rejected studio on PS1 and was 10 fold better than your pathetic plumber game. Not to mention that it's the Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank and Crash Bandicoot that truly defined and Inspired the platofmer genre, Mr. Ignorant, which belongs to Sony for many decades now. You just refuse to leave your own bubble.
You're calling him ignorant yet you're so blinded by hate for Nintendo that you refuse to acknowledge that they actually brought new ideas into the platformer genre lmao
Blatant nintendo rip off because Astro bot can hover for a short time after jumping is fucking crazy lmao. You can't make a 3d platformer now without paying royalties to Nintendo for ripping them off I guess? And there's no way you're using "Erm astro bot wasn't innovative!!!" as a reason for it not being GOTY material, the GOTY contenders were a DLC (Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree), a remake (Final Fantasy remake), a game that was quite clearly inspired by Dark Souls and CLEARLY if their inspired by it and use elements of their game design then their ripping them off by your logic (Black Myth:Wukong) Metaphor Refantazio (Persona but in fantasy, again using your own logic) CLEARLY a Mario Sunshine rip off (Astrobot) and Balatro which is the only truly unique game among the contenders. Your entire video is you making up strawmen to duke it out with and somehow your logic is so faulty that you're still losing. Games can and do take inspiration from every single game that stood before them and that's good, that's how creativity and art works, every single artist takes a little bit of the game design from other games they worked on or played as children and iterates on it. That's how gaming as a whole evolves, you take the best parts of older games and perfect them for a modern era. Astro bot didn't win game of the year because "It's just fun", it won game of the year because it's one of the best 3d platformers released this decade with incredibly replay value that takes and celebrates the IPs and history of the PlayStation. Breaking all of the work and effort that went into designing the game's levels, the soundtrack, the mechanics, and the general art direction of the game into it "just fun" and nothing else is stupid. No game is "just fun", you have an incredibly limited understanding of any game if you believe that, so much thought and effort is put into even the tiniest details of any game and yes people do appreciate those aspects of Astro Bot. A small example; the tight little corridors you have to shuffle through in the Bot Of War section of the game, or the fact the theme for that level has a bass boosted BOY dropped in the middle, their small but fun references that make the game feel wonderful.
@@NintendoUpDotCom I'm sorry to say but ignoring critique by pretending everyone critiquing you is doing so in bad faith has never made anyone better at anything.
Nintendo is not always original, either. Mario's transformation using a mushroom was inspired by Popeye eating spinach. Donkey Kong was inspired by King Kong. Breath of the Wild was created because GTA was so popular and they wanted that open world money. Tears of the Kingdom wanted that Minecraft and Fortnite money. We can go on forever. Sure, Astro Bot is not very innovative, but what other Game of the Year candidate was? Wukong is just another soulslike. Elden Ring, another soulslike. Need we go on? Astro Bot is the game of the year, not just because it was fun, but because it was the *most* fun of the new games released this year. In contrast, of the nominees I played, Wukong and Rebirth were nowhere near fun, at all. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD won't win next year, because it isn't new. Your opinion is actually the majority. Astro Bot didn't make it past the first round in the Player's Voice poll. All y'all care about are the latest fads, like soulslikes. Thank God there are people in the world who still have good taste in games.
I never said "Nintendo NEVER copies." I said compared to Sony they don't that often. But your examples that I read are from movies or other media like King Kong...how the heck is Donkey Kong similar to King Kong other than on a very, VERY base level. Donkey Kong Country has nothing to do with it, and was developed by a different team to boot. And popeye eating spinach?? Oh wow you're so right...everyone who plays Mario thinks about Popeye. Come on. Popeye is so different it's not even funny. (YES, I KNOW, IT *WAS* INSPIRED BY SPINACH, not saying you're lying). Doesn't mean it's a *huge* thing. It's small as fuck. Shades of grey. GTA might've *inspired* Botw (actually that was Skyrim...) but clearly wasn't a ripoff the same way as Astro Bot. The world is not black-and-white, you really can't see shades of grey? How can you not know the difference? Seriously? No game was 100% innovative. But as I said in the damn video Metaphor deserved it more. Was it 100% hand-crafted by Jesus Christ to be 100% original? NO! But it was more original than Astro Bot. And based on the dislikes and comments, my opinion is the minority. I'd love some of the majority to come over here.
I agreed to everything you said, but dude why you getting all defensive? Some people like myself never seem your channel, you sound like a cry baby cuz of comments 😂
Was just tired of videos like this getting mostly dislikes and receiving stupid comments from people who never watch the video. I won't stop being honest and saying whatever I want to say if it's the truth, even if that means I won't be popular with some people. I understand what you're saying, though.
@ I really don’t care 😂 But try saying your opinion and state “you can rage in the comments all you want about how I’m wrong and how your opinions are right” and just leave it at that 😂 Don’t show you get upset by it I’ll end with a quote “you would not care what people think of you, when you realise how seldom they do” So just keep posting and that’s pretty much it. Goodluck
The Sony fanboys are so unbelievably annoying, shoving their mediocre (at best) games up everyones asses, cus all they ever played were sony games. Literally every single nominee deserved GOTY more than Astrobot. People who think Astrobot deserves GOTY haven‘t played any other nominees.
I have Sony fanboys making multiple accounts to harass me and dislike bomb the video, proving me 100% right. Had to delete some truly vile and atrocious comments.
You sound like a Fanboy mad that Nintendo cant copyright Mechanics of Platformers. And Genshin impact? Bro stop Reaching, Are you that uncertain with your self views? please do let me know i am concerned for your channel. if you dont reply i get it.. But Biased claims have NO place on TH-cam or any comment section If you wish to be Unbiased clarity please comment. I actually want to hear a response to knowledgeable critics
Moron is crying because he's too stupid and brain rotted to watch a video before running his mouth like the morons I called out in the same video you couldn't watch due to destroyed attention span.
Astro bot has much nolstagia with it's cameos and it honours those ips. it looks to the past and that is the innovation that came with this game. also physics and details went way more in depth then mario.
Sure as soon as it comes to PC. I own every console except a PS5 (but I own a PS4). No point to own both a Series X and a PS5 when I don't have time to play every game on Xbox. I can't even play every good game on Switch. Too many games. That said, playing it won't change the fact it's a ripoff. It might be fun, as I said ten billion times, but that isn't my point.
i understand, but your opinion becomes meaningless, its like making a recap video of a franchise but only playing one game (which are the mario games) and saying they have some similar power ups so ill just say that this is a ripoff
@@noamskplaying 100% disagree, and I also don't have time to reply to every comment in detail (honestly tired of other comments personally attacking me and pretending to be a doctor and diagnosing me like pathetic, vile losers). But thanks for watching.
@@noamskplayingAlso, this was not a review of Astro Bot. It was a video about one specific topic: is a ripoff worthy of the highest creative honor of the year. My argument was no. I did not attack Astro Bot for its fun factor or music or graphics. I only said it didn't deserve the industry's highest honor when it was the most derivative game nominated.
I honestly couldn't agree more. I played Astro Bot and to be fair I genuinely enjoyed it, but it isn't even a question that it didn't deserve to win. In my personal opinion Wukong or Balatro deserved it the most. I never played with Methaphor, so I don't have any opinion about it, but even as an avid Fromsoftware fanboy I saw that since Shadow of the Erdtree was a DLC it shouldn't win and FFVII was just a remake. I couldn't even imagine in my wildest dream that out of these titles Astro Boy would win. I mean come on you can just tell that it doesn't compare to any of these games in a really meaningful way.
After a Reddit post of a bunch of people attacking my article, I figured everyone would disagree with me, but so far everyone seems to be in agreement on TH-cam (except the trolls who dislike every video I ever make without reason). Astro Bot simply didn't deserve this.
I'll throw in something for Metaphor. As someone who has played a good chunk of Metaphor(and a free demo is available for those who are curious). It is a love of labor from some of the most creative folks at Atlus getting a chance to bring to life something brand new. The studio has always been known for their stunning visuals and good JRPG mechanics. The artistic direction is beautiful in every shot, the writing carefully crafted with strong characterizations. The voice work includes a range of vocal styles, along with a top notch raw and emotional deliveries. The battles provide a wide range of tactical strategies that when mastered lead to a satisfying game play loop. In addition your character kits have a wide range of customization that can provide individual and unique play styles. It absolutely is the best RPG I have played all year and personally the best game I've played for this year.I'll throw in something for Metaphor for those curious.

@NintendoUpDotCom I didn't say you said Nintendo deserved to win THIS year. I said when Nintendo games won GOTY they also deserved to. As for running my "stupid mouth" aren't you supposed to be an adult? I guess not 😂
@@franklingoodwinShow me proof that I would say they deserved it if they didn't. You can't because you are making shit up like an idiot. I am not who you think I am because of a channel name.

There was a conspicuous lack of the presence of Nintendo at the game awards. They are winding from an excellent run with the switch. I have the feeling that nintendo are not seen as competitors to Sony and Microsoft. Most of the games at game awards were so called ‘mature’ games. Too many samey games with lots of blood and gore set in typical western fantasy type world. Mostly boring with a couple of exceptions. The western market is full of man-children screaming about ‘games for grown-ups’ which is bassically a toddlers version of what is ‘grown-up’
My problem is... It won against black myth wukong. HOW did it win against THAT game?? It's like picking a painting a 2 year old made against the mona Lisa.
Astroboy didn’t convince me for goty either, and I think other games deserved it more, however, while I respect your opinion, I can’t agree with your arguments for this one.
Why are people so salty about a game award show, i think gamers take this stuff way to damn seriously lol like they take ever chance they can to turn a fun thing into rage/drama bait.
I agree with you. In my opinion, this is an insult to my childhood video games. I dislike this game. If they like the game, cool. But this changes nothing about how I feel about this game.
Yeah...I'm still shaken, but happy that Astro Bot won GOTY. But there's one thing still stirring in my head: How could a little kids' game beat out the M-rated games? I was so hoping that FFVII Rebirth would win Game of the Year, but NOOOOOOOOO. Astro Bot claimed it. What the actual heck, man?! At this point, the world is a kid-happy place and we, as adults...have no right to be in it. This takes me back to the Oscar Awards. I remember in the Oscars Award show on ABC, someone said that kid televison shows are MEANT ONLY FOR KIDS. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! So what you're basically saying is that we, ADULTS, should stick with ONLY and ONLY adult shows and kids should stick with KIDDIE shows like SpongeBob? And that we should stick with ADULT video games and NOT kid games like Spyro? That is NOT fair! I grew up with SpongeBob, Mario and Spyro and I STILL watch Spongebob and play Mario AND Spyro to this very day! It's like they're PROHIBITING US, ADULTS, for simply enjoying things we loved as kids and letting the newer generations of children enjoy them instead! That's like saying: 'YOU ARE AN ADULT. STAY AWAY FROM THINGS THAT ARE FOR THE YOUNGER, NEWER KIDS NOW AND STICK WITH ADULT THINGS. YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE CHILD ANYMORE'. th-cam.com/video/TfNexLFHR4o/w-d-xo.html
The amount of stupidity in this comment. I guess botw shouldn't have won, and mario oddeyse shouldn't have been nominated since it's only on one console. And how dare anyone other than nintendo create a platofrmer.
OFC they cant thank nintendo dude, he works for Playstation. He has an agreement with them. Dude you need to start thinking before lashing out. You are so biased. I don't even like Astrobot like this but you are really pushing. It is much more original than all the other games nominated.
"AI" (by which you mean diffusion models trained on stolen data, not actual AI) infringes copyright. Astro Bot doesn't infringe copyright, it's just unoriginal.
GOTY should always combine good storytelling with good gameplay, this is why I will never like any kind of platformers. Wukong was the obvious winner for this year but because it's a chinese product the western market cannot allow that to happen could they?
@bayumahendra1797 understandable, it's not a perfect game in both of the categories i just mentioned but i would still say it's better than a family couch game
@@aaronatkinson177 I have a Sony fanboy making multiple accounts to dislike bomb this video and write nasty comments. Really turns me off from Sony, the opposite effect they want. But yeah, thanks for being the only normal comment from someone who disagrees.
Lol you gotta be trolling right? Either that or this just sounds like straight up fanboy propaganda, because boy you mad 😂. Also you clearly don't know gaming history to say Nintendo never copied anyone the original Zelda was just a copy of Hydlide and the Wii was a copy of the eyetoy and let's not forget Nintendo copying Sony by adding a second and a long stick to their controllers.
@@Jay_Walker92Yep sounds like you are. But I'm just a fanboy of good games. I don't care what system a game is on and I'm tired of explaining myself for the hundredth time to people who are too stupid to watch the whole video or who judge me based on a channel's name as if the world is that black and white.
Didn't lie about anything. You came here accusing me of shit proven wrong in the very video you didn't completely watch. And opinions are opinions, how the fuck is an opinion a lie? You Sony fanboys are the absolute worst behaved. And fuck off with that "eye toy" shit. Who would want to copy that garbage. Not even Sony cared. But I never fucking said "Nintendo never copies" if you watched the video. I know you didn't. I said "they don't that often." That's a fucking fact.
As someone who loves astro bot I absolutly agree with this video. Furthermore how tf did they win best action/adventure? Final fantasy has you traveling and battling across the entire planet. How is astrobot better tf.
@@scoppysendwich801 for me it was a battle between Astro Bot and ff7 Rebirth to be goty but I think ff7 Rebirth only failed because of the voice change for Red XIII I haven’t played the other games yet because I’m ps plus premium I just have played those games because I’m a fan of those
I mean...watch the footage, particularly at the end of the video. If this were a courtroom the case would be decided in a minute. Notice how they didn't thank Nintendo by name to avoid lawsuits.
Look I know it’s an opinion but let people think what they wanna think. Some people think it should’ve goty and some people didn’t. This is your opinion but the way you’re going on about it is almost as if you know your right. And plus, who cares if it’s a ripoff, people just want good and fun games and we don’t get that many good games anymore and who cares what wins game of the year, I could care less about what game wins. And Astro bot doesn’t completely copy off of Nintendo, there’s still plenty of unique features in Astro bot
I think we should all look at the players choice, since that is 100% by the polayers making it much more likely that whatever the players voted was the real game of the year
@@NintendoUpDotCom I'm an Xbox fan myself but I also like Nintendo too. everyone says Xbox fans are the worst but I've had my fair share if idiotic ps fan boys and they get pretty bad just do you and screw what they say
I don't think you get it, they thanked nintendo for keeping the franchise alive because they care about it so much and did everything they could to give a new spin on it and succeeding but i guess it hurts people that a non nintendo platformer succeeds
bro have more comment then like 🤣 and what's the point of talking about Nintendo i love nintendo games but there is no good game in 2024 talk about other you probably got more dislike to then like
ofc they dont shout out nintendo when all their money givers are sony poeple 🤣🤣 it would be a carrier suicide, why would they do it? BM Wukong was insane in all aspects Completely with you on the other points!
@NintendoUpDotCom Oh, I. Realize I worded that pretty weird. I was thinking to myself the other day that there was no point bitching about it and its not like bitching will change who won. Felt like shitting on it would be just for the sake of being negative and normally I dont enjoy indulging in being negative. But you know what, worth. Im feeling really damn good now. Lmao
Alright guys, I'm tired of explaining myself for the hundredth time to people who didn't watch the video but still left their angry attacks and dislikes exactly like how I predicted in the video (it's almost like I know what I'm talking about, huh?).
Last time I'm saying this: ***I play on all systems.*** Played Indiana Jones on my Xbox today, and Bit.Trip on my Steam Deck last night (and, no, I'm not saying those games are masterpieces, I'm only being *honest* about what I played recently as examples). I am only a fanboy of good games. If Nintendo releases a bad game or product (like Alarmo which I slammed on this channel in my review, check it out) I'll talk about it. I don't think every Nintendo game is good. The world is not so black-and-white that just because my channel has "Nintendo" in its name then that means I'm not human and I have no human opinions and can only like Nintendo shit. Use your brain if you have one. I am not endorsed by or paid by Nintendo, period. Never will be and I'll tell you clearly if that ever changes.
I don't care if you enjoy Astro Bot, and I'm not saying it's bad. It's just a derivative knockoff not worthy of GotY if we want to call games "art" like Geoff Keighley wants to. My Temu knockoff shoes might be good but they are not winning "Shoe of the Year." Bad example? Fine, then make your own example. Use your brain. I can't do all the critical thinking for you. I'm sorry your parents or school systems failed you all so miserably.
Once again: I am not sorry and nobody has changed my mind. In fact, your hostile comments calling me a "fanboy" despite the video proving you wrong has made me more proud of myself for being so damn right about all of you. So, was your mission accomplished? Not at all. Your lack of respectful and constructive criticism has resulted in the opposite of what you wanted. I now think lesser of Sony fanboys.
To the few people who liked this video and subscribed: thank you. You are why I make videos and will never stop. I appreciate every intelligent person who watched the video and didn't attack me like a foolish Sony fanboy.
This is the last long comment you'll get from me for this video. I might reply in a shorter format to particularly brain-rotted comments or, more importantly, messages of support.
Thanks to the new subscribers. Stick around for more fun stuff.
Oh, and to that one genius who said I would've supported Tears of the Kingdom for GotY: You know nothing. I did not like Tears of the Kingdom and would never vote for it. Thanks for proving me right that you only think in black and white.
0:43 - Hahahhaah "Rip off from Nintendo" *showing Super Mario 64* hahahha... Nintendo literally stole the engine for Super Mario 64 from the developers of Croc, afteir rejecting their demonstration game with all of the source code used for the final S.Mario 64 game without their permission. At the end of the day, Croc 1 and 2 still got released by that rejected studio on PS1 and was 10 fold better than your pathetic plumber game. Not to mention that it's the Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank and Crash Bandicoot that truly defined and Inspired the platofmer genre, Mr. Ignorant, which belongs to Sony for many decades now. You just refuse to leave your own bubble.
Y'know just because you predict people will dislike your video and leave angry comments doesn't invalidate that response, if anything it points to you having a poorly thought out take when even you anticipated such strong backlash... If I go to a public street with a megaphone and announce my intention to shit my pants and predict that everyone around to whitness it will response by covering their nose and say "eww gross" and then it happens I didn't get one over on the public by predicting their actions, I just shat my pants and acted smug about it
@@RJH755 No it means I know how people lack critical thinking and only watch 2 minutes of the video. I have stats. I know how long people watch. I don't respect people who run their mouth and attack me and miss the point of the video. Or who make multiple accounts to harass me here and on Twitter and dislike bomb irrelevant videos.
@@NintendoUpDotCom Watched the whole video and you gave no examples of Astro Bot ripping off Nintendo aside from a GameXplain video that I'm pretty sure was meant as a joke since it goes as far as comparing the gatcha machine to Smash Melee, so any game witch a gatcha machine is a Nintendo ripoff I guess.
Also since you said "Astro Bot didn't try anything new, it's literally just a ripoff of Nintendo" I'm curious can you point me to any Nintendo games that had the same shrinking gimmick as the mouse ability?

@@garretdrake2347 wukong
@@Daniel_bmc Brother, play it when you get the chance. You will then understand why it deserves GOTY.
@ that’s my biggest problem with the whole situation I bet id love this game but I don’t see it as GOTY
Holy Fuck they robbed Wukong from GOTY.
Look at the history of past winners-every single one (maybe not all) had a massive impact on gaming.
Astro Bot is a good, fun game, but as an exclusive, it lacks the reach that other GOTY had. After all what kind of GOTY is it if it can't reach majority of its audience. Compare to the other exclusive, Breath of the Wild, which completely redefined the Zelda franchise, introducing revolutionary mechanics that inspired games like Genshin Impact. Or take Elden Ring, which expanded Dark Souls to a wider audience and introduced countless players to the "Soulslike" genre, sparking a wave of imitators. Last year's GOTY, Baldur's Gate 3, went even further, reviving an entire genre with incredible player choice and narrative depth.
Now consider Wukong: the first AAA Chinese game, built on rich source material, with impressive player agency, combat, and storytelling. It’s a groundbreaking achievement, fitting for a GOTY title. While Astro Bot is undeniably fun, it's no where near the level of innovation, influence, or genre-defining impact that past winners have brought to the industry.
Astro Bot vs. Black Myth Wukong was tough for me, but the page explicitly said it was about the technical aspect too, so I ended up voting for Astro Bot simply because it's not made in Unreal. I did vote for Wukong in other categories.
@@god2958 - While I haven't played either, it really doesn't seem like Astro Bot did very much to push it's genre forward compared to Wukong.
Astro is a great game.
Mario Odyssey has way too many moons that are just out in the open and easy.
Mario Wonder has weak boss design and seems made for nongamers with it's focus on graphic design.
I didn't mention Odyssey but it was alright. Not my favorite. Galaxy 1 + 2 are the best 3D platformers.
@NintendoUpDotCom Agreed. I forgot to mention in my original post that I was just considering the latest high-profile platformers in general.
@@NintendoUpDotCom don’t forget Mario 64 and 3D World
a console exclusive winning game of the year is insane, an entire console left out of the voting. Thats insane and makes it look like a rigged win. The game is also full of references which makes it a massive imitator of other games relying heavily on nostalgia, which you won't even have if you never played any of the games they're referencing which would be like playing a game that you have to read a lore book for before you play in order to get all the jokes. No one was even talking about astro bot a month after it released because it was a one and done kind of game. It was out for only 3 months out of the year and won, too? C'mon. Now this reminds me of how game informer magazine used to be a reliable metric of good games, but got bought out and just became an ad for AAA titles regardless of how bad the games were they'd get glowing reviews just to push the product. Its like how movies nowadays are getting highly rated reviews by paid critics, but the actual audience of people recognizes how crap the movie actually is and are confused on how it could have possibly got such a high score. This is just such a massive letdown and indicative of a decline in games and those who control the platforms.
Personally glad it won game of the year as it will hopefully mean studios will go back to producing quality platform games. As for the Mario claim yeah I’d agree it’s definitely borrowed heavily from those games, but is that really a bad thing considering Mario has inspired so many games over the years.
You said the comment section would be angry, but instead, everyone’s just blindly agreeing with you. And you admitted you didn’t even play the game. You're pointing out elements inspired by Nintendo, but completely ignoring how Astro Bot innovates in its own way.
The game has mechanics like the Mouse ability, which changes level dynamics as you shrink and grow, and its use of the DualSense is on another level. There are areas where it even outshines Nintendo. Plus, we barely get great 3D platformers anymore, so why not celebrate this one winning Game of the Year?
And about your argument that 'GOTY needs innovation'-have you even looked at the other nominees? FF7 Rebirth is a remake, Metaphor isn’t bringing anything new, and Black Myth: Wukong is rehashing ideas we’ve seen before. Your logic doesn’t hold up.
The fact he didn't even play the game makes it more obvious he's a Nintendo shill.
You clearly are not reading the comments or seeing the dislikes. I was completely right. I am getting harassed by Sony fanboys making multiple accounts to leave nasty comments and dislike bomb my videos. You really know nothing.
@@franklingoodwin Wow. Where did I say that Astro Bot doesn't deserve GotY because it's exclusive to one system? Nowhere. Was never my point. Someone else said that in the comments but I disagree with that point. That never mattered. I play on ALL systems. Read the pinned comment.
@@WhiteBeard640 he’s just another frustrated man who got destroyed by a little cute robot hahaha, Astro bot is the winner and no matter how hard they cry, it still the winner and their fans happy
Why I haven't played this game? Because it is available only on PS5 and priced at $60. Do you really agree with that a PS5-exclusive and 10h game worth $60?
How can an expensive, exclusive, and short game win GOTY (For comparison, a similar GOTY winner , It Takes Two, was cheaper, non-exclusive, and longer)? And I also really want to know how can a single-player game won best family game? How can a Mario-like game won best direction award?
The success of little bot on TGA was absolutely designed for advertising sony PS5.
I think you need to know the difference between inspired and rip off.
Astro bot more leans towards inspired. Did they use some Nintendo mechanics? Yes that’s the inspiration. But they combined it with ps5 capabilities which isn’t possible on Nintendo such as the duel sense controller features.
Overwatch won game of the year and by your own logic it’s “ wow this is just tf2 mid game “
I’m curious what game is more deserving to you? Wukong because I can tell you that game is very surface level.
I know the difference and I have eyes and ears.
@ Nice you got 2/3 unfortunately tho lacking on the third department being a brain.
Again I ask you what game for you is more deserving? You can like a game more than Astro bot that’s good. But don’t write it off completely for what it is.
@@dreadseed9552You lack the brain thinking everyone needs to get on their knees and accept whatever shit is pushed onto them from a completely ridiculous awards show by Geoff Keighley.
No matter which game I say deserves it (watch the video if you want to know, since I actually say which game I think deserves it in the damn video) you will still bitch and moan and say I am not allowed to have an opinion that doesn't agree 100% with whatever you were told to think.
Some nintendo mechanics? Are you kidding? The entire game is literally copy+paste, I wouldn't be surprised if the devs even copied the coding of the game. It's def not "inspired"
Also your Overwatch example was also ridiculous. Yes it did copy some mechanics and some characters too. However it had a ton of new characters and other ideas as well. It was a completely fresh new game with TF 2 DNA, you cannot say the same with Astrobot. It's just Mario with a reskin.

@@NintendoUpDotCom sony fans get well personal lol
That's because they know it's true that 1 they mocked nintendo fans for playing platformers until a platformers that made it's name off the games they were mocking. The irony lol I actually like astro bot and most nintendo fans do but it's funny.. its a great game
I have played Astro Bot. I own both a switch and a ps5 and enjoy both quite well. Do I think Astro Bot copied Nintendo, no I don’t. Saying a game copied another for using basic game mechanics that have been used in a genre (in this case 3d platformer) for ages does not mean it is copied. Do all games that use a parry feature, or a double jump ability, or some sort of item that lets you glide, a copy of the original that used it. Maybe you could argue that but the way that it is used, the unique level design, the characters, the vibe, all of that can make up for it. And I’m not saying astrobot is a 100% original game. But really is any game 100% original, any game (especially made by a big studio) will take major inspiration from other successful studios, every single game does it and some to the excessive degree and no one would complain. I would have been happy with astrobot or wukong winning Goty because they both were good, and most importantly fun games.
I think metaphor is extremely original
@Hellonice1234 when u say u own a switch, did u own a nintendo Wii, gamecube and n64? Did u also play mario 64, sunshine, galaxy 1 and 2 and odyssey? Did u play metroid prime? Splatoon? Starfox even zelda botw and tears of the kingdom?
There are mechanics from a huge list of nintendo games rolled into one here? Some a very ironic that we have never seen in other video game ever... for example morphine ball from metroid or link swimming up a waterfall in botw.. there are dozens which only people who played nintendo games will pick on.. not the sony fans who have been bashing nintendo as kiddie consoles for decades..
Why its a big deal is because is game apparently pays homage to sony history but it's doing it by copying (or as some calling inspired by) dozens of nintendo games. It's almost like it paying homage to nintendo games but sony and nintendo are rivals. So that's the problem. I think that the director did at the award dedicating his award was classy and the right the thing to do.. winning goty and not referencing nintendo would have been wrong. Without Nintendo, astro bot would be impossible.
Nitntendo invented: slides, hovering, platforms, jumping, planets, levels, size, guns, swiming, explosions.
Dude no matter how hard u try to say u are not a fanboy is just stupid because all of your arguments are things that have existed even before nintendo
Also, learn what genre means, what you are implying for example is that mission impossible is a rip off of matrix because they both use guns
I can't disagree more with it just being a copy of Nintendo.
All games are derived of something else. Astrobot is simply a game made by a fan of Nintendo platforming games.
It's like kindrick's album based on lil wayne, it's something he grew up with and now making his own version.
Pokemon = dragon quest
Zelda = Christian boy
Fps = doom clone
Platformer = mario
All of these typically give some form of credit to the predecessors and usually as an ester egg. He simply thanked Nintendo for giving him the inspiration as a kid to go on to make his version of a platformer.
@Shady-Frank dude you clearly haven't played pokemon and dragon quest lol one is a catching monsters and trading them the other is your typical JRPG about saving the world. If you're going on about monster design, they're nothing alike.
I dont get the zelda Christian boy but u clearly never played zelda 1 before.
@SwitchVibes64 I mean monster quest and pokemon have more similarities than palworld.
Also, the creator of zelda was going to base the game off of Christianity, like God of war to Greek mythos, but Nintendo told him to remove everything christian.
They didn't copy, they made a platformer, also at 0:22 you said "I don't give a shit, I'm not wrong" it's opinions, some people can say they dislike astro bot and others can say they love astro bot, they both have amazing reasons on why astro bot is good or bad. I just wanted to say its an opinion.

I mean, when I am looking at Astro Bot winning GOTY, it isn't all that bad from a fan perspective. Has it been mentioned to death over thousands of times online? Yes. Is it a bad game? No, but it did take most of its core inspiration from Nintendo and their old past first party retro titles and big first party titles, and that is saying something. But I don't know if it really deserved GOTY as it did, it feels kind of... off. That's just my opinion though, but did it really deserve that title?
I might be overthinking that a little here, sure, but it did get get a lot of people to turn against one of the biggest video game delivering companies of all time. I like the game, but the praise might have pushed it too far, imo.
Helldivers 2 should of at least been nominated, and if they did they could of won.
I totally respect your opinion even though I respectfully disagree. No idea is original and most games that we play and see are variations of games we've already seen so my issue is, if you have the opinion that Astro Bot shouldn't have won GOTY which is fine then neither should Black Myth which a souls game "ripoff" or Metaphor which copied from a bunch of jrpg's...By the logic I interpreted that you have ( I could be wrong) no game should win any awards if it's not a 100% wholly original concept...I have no issue with the opinion you expressed, I'm just wondering the point...I did watch the video and some points were fair but seemed like the intent was to be antagonistic but then you get defensive if gamers got antagonized...Just a little confused...Would you have made the same type of video if another game won? It seems very targeted and I think that's why some gamers are upset although disrespect isn't necessary However, all due love and respect to you, keep doing your thing...Peace
See, if all comments were like this then I would maybe change my mind a little. (Maybe, but probably not). You disagreed but were respectful. I don't have time to reply to everything you said since I've already talked at length about this stuff in other comments. Unfortunately, because of toxic Sony fanboys making multiple accounts to harass me and dislike all my videos, I no longer want to be associated with Sony (I have a PS4 with hundreds of games). Those Sony fanboys lost Sony money by being so obnoxious, vile, and idiotic. But, again, if they were like you then I would perhaps give Astro Bot another look... But...no, sorry, I wouldn't change my mind about this game. I don't think I'm wrong even when taking a second look.
@@NintendoUpDotCom Understood, I get it but by disassociating yourself with a brand that makes games you may like because of a stupid fringe element (which every game platform has and its all bad, one is not better than the other) gives them power over you that you shouldn't allow them to have, just my opinion, take from that what you will...Remember Sony and Playstation didn't say these things, stupid people did...I'm a PS guy, team blue, to my core, the XBOX community which can be equally as vile has said crazy things to me, but I will never give them the satisfaction of not playing my XBOX, in fact, I play it more and critique (fairly and objectively) MORE of their games just because it may piss them off, two can play that game...Games are personal, play em all, don't let this internet shit get under your skin, tell em "thank you for your comment" and move on, that energy burns their souls when you don't engage...Let em make all the accounts they want...Peace and Love
@@GeekLifeMike Some good points.
Astrobot is a compilation of beloved platforming mechanics.
Dk country remaster is a remaster of a singular retro game probably at $70.
Not the same bro.
I don't even like either one.
If dk country was in a compilation of remasters with new levels or anything, then I'd agree it could be goty. For example, the nes collection thing could be a good nominee if people loved it enough.
@@Shady-Frank I don't want DKCR HD to win GotY even if it was in a compilation of remasters like you described. GotY is something like Ocarina of Time, innovative and game changing. Or at least as close to that ideal as possible.
@NintendoUpDotCom but ocarina of time is also derived from other sources like reincarnation and time travel, both existing in games before it.
I'm just not understanding how astrobot is an alleged compilation of beloved mechanics in a single game is not art of any kind. Zelda is a hack n slash rpg, same as astrobot is a bot themed platformer. Just the art alone is reason enough for me to deem it as art. Same as how zelda had great art and a compilation of hack n slash rpg mechanics.
@@Shady-Frank At the time Ocarina of Time released, there was nothing else like it. I said "all games copy" but there is a line and Astro Bot clearly crossed it if you watched the footage. You can't say Ocarina of Time was just a ripoff in the same way Astro Bot is. That's just clearly not true. There are levels. It's not black and white.
@NintendoUpDotCom
But that footage was taken from a single game from a single game development team vs. a multi dev team umbrella. It's not at all 1 to 1.
I mean even the swinging animation looked more fluid and refined than the mario variant. Zelda was a simple hack n slash rpg with puzzles. There were many hack n slash rpgs even on Nintendo. Just because the same mechanisms appear on screen doesn't mean it's plagiarism. Code is complicated and the fact it looks more refined to be more floaty is a completely valid derivative. Just like zelda used bombs and walls, they made it feel more zelda like than any predecessors.
I love Nintendo's innovation and I love sony's refinement. Both are completely valid in the same way a love lovecraftian story can still be unique enough to stand outside of lovecraft. (Like bird box)
@NintendoUpDotCom
Also fishing, some puzzles existed in various game formats, swimming like the Zora, playing songs to activate effects, sword and shields, grappling hooks, bows and arrows, torches with fire mechanics, even the Ganon fight existed in pong.
Nintendo "plagiarizes" just as much as astrobots did. They simply complied it into a unique experience that the player hasn't seen done before. I haven't played astrobot, but the footage seemed quite different art wise and clearly took mechanics from many different genres, not just platformers, same as OoT.
I agree that Oot was a bit more innovative for its time, but by now, almost every unique mechanic current engines can do has been done. Which is why Nintendo takes so much from existing titles, especially from their abandoned games.
While I do believe astro bot deserved GOTY over the other competitors, I can respect your opinion. However, they had changed the rule of not letting DLC be nominated as GOTY this year JUST for elden ring's DLC, which is one of the stupidest things they have ever done. But I can agree with you that some of the other nominees deserved GOTY more, like Metaphor or Black Myth: Wukong. I do think astro bot won it fairly though.
Lol of course a channel with Nintendo in it's name doesn't like a PlayStation exclusive winning goty. Cry harder fanboys
6:10
that game did not deserve it what so ever
Did you know that ratchet and clank had planets that you can go 360 around before Mario Galaxy?
@@PiecakeQ I remember Yoshi's Island having the same kind of planets....
@NintendoUpDotCom You know I was referring to 3D games right, not 2D they don't act the same at all
ASTROBOT GAME OF THE YEAR! SONY GREATEST COMPANY EVER!
Oof this is just hating. Imagine if Nintendo released Astro Bot where the game entered other Nintendo game worlds and had Link or Samus powers. Also if the switch had the same dualsense feel. Then it should win game of the year. The controller is innovative. You would have "switched" feelings if this was a Nintendo exclusive
If it were a Nintendo exclusive developed by Nintendo...wait for it... IT WOULDN'T BE A RIPOFF. How can Nintendo ripoff its own inventions?
The whole point of this video was not that Astro Bot "sucks" it's that derivative products are not worthy of GotY if we want to go around saying games are "art" like Geoff Keighley. No. Then my Temu knockoff shoes are deserving of "Shoe of the Year." They should be in a museum.
The game did not even sell barely any ps fanboy went out and get the game but many got black myth wukong and enjoy the game
Astro Bot was frikin amazing. But was it goty material? Yes. But you know what else was? Silent Hill 2 remake. At least for the nomination but it didnt even get that. So many times I thought that it was gonna win something for like best sound direction or best voice actor, but nope. Snubbed every time. A lot of Silent Hill purist fans wrote off the remake because of Bloober, but I had a lot of faith in them because I really enjoyed The Medium and knew that those devs understood psychological horror. The fact that Silent Hill 2 remake didnt even get a nomination but Re4 Remake did (another amazing remake btw) says alot about how phoney these game awards really are. Some choices absolutely deserved the wins while some made me raise my eyebrow. To be honest, I knew Astro Bot would win purely out of the accessibility to a wider audience and thats not because its solely on ps5 but because both adults and children can have a blast with it and not have to worry about anything too challenging. It just fun. Silent Hill 2 remake probably wouldn't even have beat it even if it was in the same category, but it wouldve at least gave it a run for its money versus Wukong, Balatro and Elden Rings dlc.
I can agree that The Game Awards are phoney. The way of the world it seems.
I think calling the whole show a slog is a bit disingenuous tho, it was pretty entertaining overall and we got tons of reveals (arcane was robbed tho)
@@cheesecheese6459 How is my opinion disingenuous? I thought it was a slog. It wasn't as bad as some prior years but it was still a slog. And for Nintendo fans, it was a pointless waste of time (not a single official win for Nintendo and almost no reveals). Thankfully I do play on all systems.
2 things
1 astro bot is not a ripoff it's inspired by Mario and other platformers that's like saying racing games are a copy of sonic games it's just wrong
2 it was not rigged, Sony did not buy the award nothing like that, the reason why it won was because it literally had more blood, sweat, and tears poured into it unlike games like black myth wukong that had no originally either and was a souls like game everyone wanted to win which is a horrible boring genre to me, a dlc was nominated, didn't deserve it, the anime game that I forgot the name of is literally just a hoyoverse game ripoff, and balatro was a fine poker game but not worthy of goty but astro proves people want fun and good platformers in the industry Mario shouldn't be the only character to have then we need the era back where these characters were everywhere, even if it's shovel wear
This is genuinely the worst fucking take I've read in the past month , please never have opinions ever again
0:43 - Hahahhaah "Rip off from Nintendo" *showing Super Mario 64* hahahha... Nintendo literally stole the engine for Super Mario 64 from the developers of Croc, afteir rejecting their demonstration game with all of the source code used for the final S.Mario 64 game without their permission. At the end of the day, Croc 1 and 2 still got released by that rejected studio on PS1 and was 10 fold better than your pathetic plumber game. Not to mention that it's the Little Big Planet, Ratchet & Clank and Crash Bandicoot that truly defined and Inspired the platofmer genre, Mr. Ignorant, which belongs to Sony for many decades now. You just refuse to leave your own bubble.
You're calling him ignorant yet you're so blinded by hate for Nintendo that you refuse to acknowledge that they actually brought new ideas into the platformer genre lmao
@@squooshy2999no he's not denying it he's just showing how absurd all of his "opinions" were
I am atsro bot 😂😂😂
Nice to meet you, I'm Goku from the Dragon Ball anime series. Because why not.
i give it to ffvii rebirth
Blatant nintendo rip off because Astro bot can hover for a short time after jumping is fucking crazy lmao. You can't make a 3d platformer now without paying royalties to Nintendo for ripping them off I guess? And there's no way you're using "Erm astro bot wasn't innovative!!!" as a reason for it not being GOTY material, the GOTY contenders were a DLC (Elden Ring Shadow Of The Erdtree), a remake (Final Fantasy remake), a game that was quite clearly inspired by Dark Souls and CLEARLY if their inspired by it and use elements of their game design then their ripping them off by your logic (Black Myth:Wukong) Metaphor Refantazio (Persona but in fantasy, again using your own logic) CLEARLY a Mario Sunshine rip off (Astrobot) and Balatro which is the only truly unique game among the contenders.
Your entire video is you making up strawmen to duke it out with and somehow your logic is so faulty that you're still losing. Games can and do take inspiration from every single game that stood before them and that's good, that's how creativity and art works, every single artist takes a little bit of the game design from other games they worked on or played as children and iterates on it. That's how gaming as a whole evolves, you take the best parts of older games and perfect them for a modern era. Astro bot didn't win game of the year because "It's just fun", it won game of the year because it's one of the best 3d platformers released this decade with incredibly replay value that takes and celebrates the IPs and history of the PlayStation.
Breaking all of the work and effort that went into designing the game's levels, the soundtrack, the mechanics, and the general art direction of the game into it "just fun" and nothing else is stupid. No game is "just fun", you have an incredibly limited understanding of any game if you believe that, so much thought and effort is put into even the tiniest details of any game and yes people do appreciate those aspects of Astro Bot. A small example; the tight little corridors you have to shuffle through in the Bot Of War section of the game, or the fact the theme for that level has a bass boosted BOY dropped in the middle, their small but fun references that make the game feel wonderful.
Not reading this because you didn't watch the video. One sentence in and you are already making up shit I never said. Be better.
@@NintendoUpDotCom I'm sorry to say but ignoring critique by pretending everyone critiquing you is doing so in bad faith has never made anyone better at anything.
Nintendo is not always original, either. Mario's transformation using a mushroom was inspired by Popeye eating spinach. Donkey Kong was inspired by King Kong. Breath of the Wild was created because GTA was so popular and they wanted that open world money. Tears of the Kingdom wanted that Minecraft and Fortnite money. We can go on forever.
Sure, Astro Bot is not very innovative, but what other Game of the Year candidate was? Wukong is just another soulslike. Elden Ring, another soulslike. Need we go on?
Astro Bot is the game of the year, not just because it was fun, but because it was the *most* fun of the new games released this year. In contrast, of the nominees I played, Wukong and Rebirth were nowhere near fun, at all. Donkey Kong Country Returns HD won't win next year, because it isn't new.
Your opinion is actually the majority. Astro Bot didn't make it past the first round in the Player's Voice poll. All y'all care about are the latest fads, like soulslikes. Thank God there are people in the world who still have good taste in games.
I never said "Nintendo NEVER copies." I said compared to Sony they don't that often. But your examples that I read are from movies or other media like King Kong...how the heck is Donkey Kong similar to King Kong other than on a very, VERY base level. Donkey Kong Country has nothing to do with it, and was developed by a different team to boot. And popeye eating spinach?? Oh wow you're so right...everyone who plays Mario thinks about Popeye. Come on. Popeye is so different it's not even funny. (YES, I KNOW, IT *WAS* INSPIRED BY SPINACH, not saying you're lying). Doesn't mean it's a *huge* thing. It's small as fuck. Shades of grey.
GTA might've *inspired* Botw (actually that was Skyrim...) but clearly wasn't a ripoff the same way as Astro Bot. The world is not black-and-white, you really can't see shades of grey? How can you not know the difference? Seriously?
No game was 100% innovative. But as I said in the damn video Metaphor deserved it more. Was it 100% hand-crafted by Jesus Christ to be 100% original? NO! But it was more original than Astro Bot.
And based on the dislikes and comments, my opinion is the minority. I'd love some of the majority to come over here.
I have not played Astrobot, but judging by the footage, it’s pretty uncanny.
Nintendo have made a lot of enemies, simply because they won’t cozy up.
That seems exactly right. Sony and others factually bribe gaming websites (not my site) and I don't doubt the game awards too.
I agreed to everything you said, but dude why you getting all defensive?
Some people like myself never seem your channel, you sound like a cry baby cuz of comments 😂

Astro bot has much nolstagia with it's cameos and it honours those ips. it looks to the past and that is the innovation that came with this game. also physics and details went way more in depth then mario.
play the game, then say this
Sure as soon as it comes to PC. I own every console except a PS5 (but I own a PS4). No point to own both a Series X and a PS5 when I don't have time to play every game on Xbox. I can't even play every good game on Switch. Too many games.
That said, playing it won't change the fact it's a ripoff. It might be fun, as I said ten billion times, but that isn't my point.
i understand, but your opinion becomes meaningless, its like making a recap video of a franchise but only playing one game (which are the mario games) and saying they have some similar power ups so ill just say that this is a ripoff
@@noamskplaying 100% disagree, and I also don't have time to reply to every comment in detail (honestly tired of other comments personally attacking me and pretending to be a doctor and diagnosing me like pathetic, vile losers). But thanks for watching.
@@noamskplayingAlso, this was not a review of Astro Bot. It was a video about one specific topic: is a ripoff worthy of the highest creative honor of the year. My argument was no. I did not attack Astro Bot for its fun factor or music or graphics. I only said it didn't deserve the industry's highest honor when it was the most derivative game nominated.
i just think you that you cant judge a game without playing it thats it
I honestly couldn't agree more. I played Astro Bot and to be fair I genuinely enjoyed it, but it isn't even a question that it didn't deserve to win. In my personal opinion Wukong or Balatro deserved it the most. I never played with Methaphor, so I don't have any opinion about it, but even as an avid Fromsoftware fanboy I saw that since Shadow of the Erdtree was a DLC it shouldn't win and FFVII was just a remake. I couldn't even imagine in my wildest dream that out of these titles Astro Boy would win. I mean come on you can just tell that it doesn't compare to any of these games in a really meaningful way.
After a Reddit post of a bunch of people attacking my article, I figured everyone would disagree with me, but so far everyone seems to be in agreement on TH-cam (except the trolls who dislike every video I ever make without reason). Astro Bot simply didn't deserve this.
I'll throw in something for Metaphor. As someone who has played a good chunk of Metaphor(and a free demo is available for those who are curious). It is a love of labor from some of the most creative folks at Atlus getting a chance to bring to life something brand new. The studio has always been known for their stunning visuals and good JRPG mechanics. The artistic direction is beautiful in every shot, the writing carefully crafted with strong characterizations. The voice work includes a range of vocal styles, along with a top notch raw and emotional deliveries. The battles provide a wide range of tactical strategies that when mastered lead to a satisfying game play loop. In addition your character kits have a wide range of customization that can provide individual and unique play styles.

There was a conspicuous lack of the presence of Nintendo at the game awards. They are winding from an excellent run with the switch. I have the feeling that nintendo are not seen as competitors to Sony and Microsoft.
Most of the games at game awards were so called ‘mature’ games. Too many samey games with lots of blood and gore set in typical western fantasy type world. Mostly boring with a couple of exceptions. The western market is full of man-children screaming about ‘games for grown-ups’ which is bassically a toddlers version of what is ‘grown-up’
Hel yea !
10/10 satire
I feel like im the only one that thought it was an obvious win for Wukong, didn't ever HEAR about astro bot.
Never played Wukong but I'll give it a try soon.
This is the funniest cope I've seen in a while. 🤣
Outside the game awards i dont see if anything wrong with astro bot
Just alot of inspiration from other games
Again, my only problem is that it won Game of the Year when it is too derivative and unoriginal. I know it's "fun" but that alone is not GotY-worthy.
My problem is... It won against black myth wukong. HOW did it win against THAT game??
It's like picking a painting a 2 year old made against the mona Lisa.

Big sony
I agree with you. In my opinion, this is an insult to my childhood video games. I dislike this game. If they like the game, cool. But this changes nothing about how I feel about this game.
Yeah...I'm still shaken, but happy that Astro Bot won GOTY. But there's one thing still stirring in my head: How could a little kids' game beat out the M-rated games? I was so hoping that FFVII Rebirth would win Game of the Year, but NOOOOOOOOO. Astro Bot claimed it. What the actual heck, man?! At this point, the world is a kid-happy place and we, as adults...have no right to be in it. This takes me back to the Oscar Awards. I remember in the Oscars Award show on ABC, someone said that kid televison shows are MEANT ONLY FOR KIDS. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! So what you're basically saying is that we, ADULTS, should stick with ONLY and ONLY adult shows and kids should stick with KIDDIE shows like SpongeBob? And that we should stick with ADULT video games and NOT kid games like Spyro? That is NOT fair! I grew up with SpongeBob, Mario and Spyro and I STILL watch Spongebob and play Mario AND Spyro to this very day! It's like they're PROHIBITING US, ADULTS, for simply enjoying things we loved as kids and letting the newer generations of children enjoy them instead! That's like saying: 'YOU ARE AN ADULT. STAY AWAY FROM THINGS THAT ARE FOR THE YOUNGER, NEWER KIDS NOW AND STICK WITH ADULT THINGS. YOU'RE NOT A LITTLE CHILD ANYMORE'.

Way too many wins for a game that can only be played on one console and is a blatant copy. Metaphor was deserved and Balatro.
Yep, I wouldn't be mad if any other game on the list won. Even if I don't care about some of them, they are still at least not copies.
So you agree zelda botw shouldn't have won goty as well right
Oh? Did you feel the same way when Breath of the Wild, a Nintendo exclusive, won?
@@NintendoUpDotComDo you think Nintendo should make a patent on platformers so no one else in the world can ever make another platformer game?
The amount of stupidity in this comment. I guess botw shouldn't have won, and mario oddeyse shouldn't have been nominated since it's only on one console. And how dare anyone other than nintendo create a platofrmer.
OFC they cant thank nintendo dude, he works for Playstation. He has an agreement with them. Dude you need to start thinking before lashing out. You are so biased. I don't even like Astrobot like this but you are really pushing. It is much more original than all the other games nominated.
"AI" (by which you mean diffusion models trained on stolen data, not actual AI) infringes copyright. Astro Bot doesn't infringe copyright, it's just unoriginal.

My belief is that it shouldn’t even been nominated but the entire video game industry is suffering. But who is taking VGAs seriously anymore
As someone who loves astro bot I absolutly agree with this video. Furthermore how tf did they win best action/adventure? Final fantasy has you traveling and battling across the entire planet. How is astrobot better tf.
@@scoppysendwich801 for me it was a battle between Astro Bot and ff7 Rebirth to be goty but I think ff7 Rebirth only failed because of the voice change for Red XIII I haven’t played the other games yet because I’m ps plus premium I just have played those games because I’m a fan of those
Well people don't say it's all fun and games until something something just for nothing? Fun and game?
Same could be said about any of the games nominated lol
I swear it just a ripped off it own ip tho. U know little big planet. Sack boy and astro bot are very similar.
I mean...watch the footage, particularly at the end of the video. If this were a courtroom the case would be decided in a minute. Notice how they didn't thank Nintendo by name to avoid lawsuits.
Black myth wukong or shadow of the erdtree should've won and nobody can convince me otherwise
Lmao seethe tendie
Look I know it’s an opinion but let people think what they wanna think. Some people think it should’ve goty and some people didn’t. This is your opinion but the way you’re going on about it is almost as if you know your right. And plus, who cares if it’s a ripoff, people just want good and fun games and we don’t get that many good games anymore and who cares what wins game of the year, I could care less about what game wins. And Astro bot doesn’t completely copy off of Nintendo, there’s still plenty of unique features in Astro bot
I couldn't believe my ears when I saw this was game of the year. So many games were way better than this
I think we should all look at the players choice, since that is 100% by the polayers making it much more likely that whatever the players voted was the real game of the year
sheesh people are tools great video valid points dont let these sheep tell you different keep on doing what your doing bro
@@DangitBobby9960 Thanks! I'll keep making videos no matter what the extreme Sony fanboys say. This channel is not for those lost causes.
@@NintendoUpDotCom I'm an Xbox fan myself but I also like Nintendo too. everyone says Xbox fans are the worst but I've had my fair share if idiotic ps fan boys and they get pretty bad just do you and screw what they say
Someone finally have the balls to say it! A ripped off mario game win goty ...
Astrobot fans are seething but the astri bot devs literally pointed out how it’s just a Mario clone on stage.
Any award winner who acknowledges their insperations in their acceptence speech is now ripping off that insperation now, good to know
I don't think you get it, they thanked nintendo for keeping the franchise alive because they care about it so much and did everything they could to give a new spin on it and succeeding but i guess it hurts people that a non nintendo platformer succeeds
@ They thanked Nintendo cause they know their game is basically a direct lift of their formula
bro have more comment then like 🤣 and what's the point of talking about Nintendo i love nintendo games but there is no good game in 2024 talk about other you probably got more dislike to then like
Guess I was right.
ofc they dont shout out nintendo when all their money givers are sony poeple 🤣🤣
it would be a carrier suicide, why would they do it?
BM Wukong was insane in all aspects
Completely with you on the other points!
There is nothing productive about having made this video and yet, Thank you for making this ❤ I can move on from the shitshow of a couple nights ago.
Uh...thanks? Not quite sure what you mean. ❤
@NintendoUpDotCom Oh, I. Realize I worded that pretty weird. I was thinking to myself the other day that there was no point bitching about it and its not like bitching will change who won. Felt like shitting on it would be just for the sake of being negative and normally I dont enjoy indulging in being negative. But you know what, worth. Im feeling really damn good now. Lmao
Very very true!
Boooooooooo, riiiiiigged
um...no...its a SACKBOY rip off
