Astro Bot was so good it almost "outdid Nintendo at its own game", says former US boss Reggie Fils-Aimé


PlayStation platformer Astro Bot impressed former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé.

Watch on YouTube With Fils-Aime hosting, and after numerous comparisons between Astro Bot and some of Nintendo's own Mario platformers, the stage was set for the big man to give his verdict. Image credit: Sony Interactive Entertainment We here at Eurogamer were equally taken with Astro Bot on its release, awarding it a sparkling five out of five stars. I've messed around with cool gadgets, used the controller in unusual ways, tilting it, yes, but also blowing into it, trying to read the buried hieroglyphs of its rumble, I've ticked boxes, collected things, unlocked things, nodded at references that make me feel old, or sharp-eyed, or generally in the know," reads Eurogamer's Astro Bot review.
