I've never been more impressed by a game than Astro Bot and I'm not even memeing. The fact every unique surface you walk on feels different with the controller still blows my mind whenever I play it.
I was hoping the tech demo would be the only one to do the 'member old IP?' thing
Astro Bot has no strong identity of its own, it has to parade around corpses of mascots that it no longer makes games for, IP it lost to Microsoft like Crash or Spyro, or ones for studios that Sony shut down [Japan Studios]. it's an IP graveyard

I never said it was okay when Smash does it. although the difference between the two is that Astro Bot is not fundamentally a crossover game, it's just a game about a robot that happens to be full of fanservice, unlike Smash which has its entire premise built around IP crossover

this dampened Astro's Playroom in particular for me a lot
I remember looking around at all the cameos in one spot and initially thinking they were cute before I realised that just one of the developers represented by them hadn't been unceremoniously shut down

Pretty much this.
If it ever does gain an identity of its own then it would probably end up better.
I just don't like seeing it wear the skin of dead mascots either.

This is why I HATE smash bros. Its just blatant consoomer garbage reliant of "hey look its that character!!". Nintendo is so soulless.

Hall effect sticks essentially eliminates drift. The only real degradable part is a small spring but that takes YEARS of dialysis usage before needing replacement.
