Astro Bot is a confectionary PlayStation adventure, but it's also a meat and potatoes platformer. As such, its developers felt they had to thank the godfather of platformers, Nintendo, during their Game of the Year acceptance speech at The Game Awards.
"We made a platformer," Astro Bot creative director Nicolas Doucet said, "it's very nostalgic and fresh at the same time. But let us not forget that, even before PlayStation, there were people making platformers."
