Worst Games Ever - Astro Boy

[@HeadlessIncorporated]

Ah yes, for a brief 36 minutes and 48 seconds I won't have to spend time wondering what to watch.

[@TrashbashMan]

Have you considered watching the video at half speed so you don't have to think for more than an hour?

[@fromthegamethrone]

This

[@Criggster]

I agreed with all of this lol

[@maxstrong6915]

The most accurate KZbin comment I've ever seen

[@0Humanoid0]

Kind of related to the "hen-tie" thing, my mum wanted to DIY me a birthday card once, and accidentally ended up on Deviantart... in her words "I searched anime birthday card and there were so many anime tits, I was scarred" 😭

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

It's usually what people who don't know much about anime imagine it being. ;~;

[@Justforvisit]

@@AlmightyPolarBear Well, they're not entirely wrong...

[@primalconvoy]

My mum once bought "Flesh Gordon" instead of Flash Gordon for both my little brother and myself ages ago. We almost had access to it, when she finally realised what it was just before she left us both home alone on her way to work. So close...

[@patrickmontgomery7449]

I somehow convinced my mom to buy me a La Blue Girl DVD at 15. Oh the naiveté

[@NALTOHQ]

@@patrickmontgomery7449 (whats that?!) *does search* Oh…. OH…. WTF man?!?

[@zpbstudios9551]

13:48 Speaking of Cubix, there just happens to be a Cubix video game for PS2. It's called Cubix Robots for Everyone Showdown. It's developed by Blitz Games of the Mummy Returns fame and published by the 3DO Company of Army Men Green Rogue fame. That's a good candidate for a WGE episode!

[@patrickmontgomery7449]

That GBA game thooo!!! One of the most slept on games of all time. Random buy from mom. Some of my favorite gaming memories

[@wyzeguy6]

I've always wondered why they don't save their games. I hope this game is a lesson for them. (It won't be)

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

There were previous videos you would have thought they would learn cause it happened a couple times. Like Sonic '06 and another one where it happened about halfway through the video.

[@Doiknowyou566]

At least they got back to where they were & edited it out this time I suppose.

[@Darius1295]

The beginning where he's flying through hoops in the sky with skyscrapers reminds me of Superman 64.

[@BrazenSolar]

I actually really like the graphics in this game - the way all the explosions and rocket trails are sort of circular is actually nice.

[@erainmartinez8175]

awesome I like it

[@tomthespaceknerd5396]

I'm a huge Astro Boy fan, but I would never claim to be normal. Not played this one but Astro Boy: Omega Factor on the GBA is one of the best games on the system.

[@OmegaSaurus]

I remember the GBA Astro boy being such a gem But the harder modes where straight BS

[@REALMARCHINADER]

Yeah I remembered the GBA game. Managed to play the game on my old gba because my dad was an old astroboy fan. Really appreciate he introduced me to such a gem. Maybe since its 2D that the budget went into the gameplay instead of the models

[@trouty606]

The Omega Factor, yes! Brutally hard game but super fun.

[@shuumatsunojoshua]

*Omega factor fans unite.* Please don't ask me why but I was a crazy enough bastard to spend an entire summer beating that game on hard mode-

[@gracekim1998]

But were they over by the straight and narrow?😜

[@JustAnotherWebSeries]

Good lord I remember Cubix. I loved it and had the figure of the main cube lad. What a show!

[@VideoGameGlass]

I loved that show too, forgot about it until I saw clips, good times.

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

I remember it too. I remember the toys you could get at McDonalds.

[@VideoGameGlass]

@@AlmightyPolarBear I didn't have the toys, I only remember the TV show. I also wasn't aware there were action figures too.

[@yapdat7036]

90s baby's stand up!

[@willbaker6532]

I for some reason had a cubic poster framed on my bedroom wall as a kid despite the fact I think I never watched a single episode of the show but thanks to seeing the poster every day I feel like I know all of the characters

[@ArkaneStephanie]

Omg I couldn't see Emma properly in the backround and thought "Omg has Ash joined Worst Games Ever". Then realised that she looked a little different than she does usually

[@sos_legio_primus]

I remember not hating this game, but only putting a few hours into it.

[@redspiralray2880]

Imagine if this game were made today. It'd be the anime version of Spider-Man or Arkham City/Knight. With the right studio behind it, of course.

[@budaroddy]

I believe Peter is the kind of guy that did watch Re-Boot show back in the day

[@Dragonrider1227]

I remember playing this game a few times. It's not great but I don't recall having as much trouble with it as you are If you think the way he takes that robot's energy is bad, you should see how he recharges a robot in the 60s series XD

[@RyleeStrange]

i saw this 42 seconds after posting. I've never been this early. I even have coffee!

[@kailawebb3208]

I miss you two so much! Thank you for continuing worst games ever! ♥️

[@dylanogg347]

You want a good Astro Boy game? Check out Omega Factor on the Game Boy Advance. It's a great game in it's own right and a terrific tie-in to the 2003 Astro Boy Anime, which is widely considered one of the best incarnations.

[@LordmonkeyTRM]

USB stick now with 100% less malware

[@mehhh8888]

When I was a teenager I accidentally asked my mom for hentai videos because I didn't know what it was but saw friends talking about it and it being related to anime. Oh to be young and innocent again. (Luckily she had no idea what the fuck I was talking about either.)

[@cbennett_12]

We also needed a “Peter Says Astro Bot” counter tbh

[@kneedeepandfriends7188]

I Simpsonized Astro Boy was something I never needed to see.

[@christophergrubb6348]

The American national anthem combined with the Soviet aesthetics of Astro boy nation

[@jakebarrett189]

its like they put goku in an american flag or superman in a russian flag

[@thisguy4505]

I played this to completion back in the day. If you DO look at it like the Superman 64 that we never got, its quite a lot of fun, actually.

[@bensonsj98]

Oh yeah. Here we go. Astro Boy time.

[@misterblakk3690]

I love Emma but UHM, I was told there would only ever be 2 presenters on Worst Games Ever!

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

I am fine with her. She is bearable.

[@jonasolofsson4128]

So Emma is in a worst games ever before Ashton? She is not a very active jumper is she?

[@OfficialFingazMC]

Ashton made an guest appearance on the Jaws episode :)

[@Sickboyrari1]

u cannot convince me that this game is bad, played it too much as a child. had so much fun exploring and flying around the levels/world. might not be a perfect game but as a child with barely any other experiences with video games it really impressed me. my dad hated it tho

[@dasfowler]

James, Ashton, and now Emma?! Adam really opened up the payroll for ya boys!

[@deonteosayande8420]

Astro-bart lmaooooo when is the third member of triple jump going to be on this show?

[@greyinglis7570]

Worth the wait, i finally get to see Tanma's nose in full CGI. Cheers guys.

[@SoCalJellybean]

“Astro Boy isn’t hentai!” *That weird-ass vinyl diaper begs to differ.*

[@Here_s_Jackie]

Ohmy, Cubix was a blast from the past

[@SPIDEYMODS616]

As a AstroBoy fan thanks for playing this

[@Momiji540]

12:03 "Oof" LMAO!!

[@PrismaticController]

Hope you guys give Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon a try. And Fifth Element.

[@ikmnification5737]

"You're not my son, you're a...ROBOT!!!" (best line from the 1980's anime dub)

[@jakebarrett189]

i know pal

[@primalconvoy]

I think it's called "Tetsuwan-Atomu Asutroboi" (although it's usually just called "Tetsuwan-Atomu" or simply "Atomu") in Japan.

[@wyzeguy6]

Question. Why did the national anthem of Metro City go from the Russian anthem in the Patreon video to the American on KZbin? Something to do with Al Gore's rhythms?

[@jamesjenkins3199]

Yeah, so Al Gore's Rhythms may have been responsible, or maybe we should say Al Gorbachev's Rhythms - apparently there's still a strong Soviet presence at KZbin HQ, that took offence to that lovely anthem! Glad you got to see the original version, as the Lord Billy intended 👍

[@golbibulbus5183]

I remember playing a different Astro Boy game on PS2 which was based on the movie. You should check that one out too.

[@Smol_Dino.-.]

I disagree. I Love this game

[@wyattreding4825]

Watching them not save reminds me of playing this on my PS2 with an off-brand memory card that corrupted on occasion. Also the weather "memory game" always ruined me as a kid.

[@lindastone6868]

The PS2 must be the gift that keeps on giving, because no other system seems to get featured!

[@M00SHTY]

Probably the easiest to emulate. Also ps2 had so many games

[@AlmightyPolarBear]

PS2 has so many gems and pieces of garbage in its library.

[@steviep789]

ALL HAIL PRINCESS EMMA THE DJUNGELSKOG!! We are not worthy 👸

[@jokerislife9522]

I sent this one in, but I forgot to put a note in, sorry. I mainly sent it in because the camera controls were bad and the flying was weirdly done

[@declanhampson1098]

Sonic: ‘I like girls. But this time, it’s about justice.’

[@TrashbashMan]

Fun fact: Astro Boy is a tiny Space Man

[@maddawgmcgee]

Lmao does the scientist's nose have jiggle physics

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

Stick with the GBA version of Astro Boy, people. It's much better.

[@CandyHatsuneWolff]

Ah, Cubix. "This soup tastes soupy!"

[@PhoeniksStorm]

Astro boy was one of the first manga i ever read

[@thochaos13]

I've never read Astro Boy, but "Pluto" is based on it and is excellent.

[@kattekaren]

I can't believe you kidnapped Cakejumper's bear. ;)

[@Alucard-A-La-Carte]

I'm honestly surprised it never came up that Astro Boy's inventor used to refuel him by pouring gasoline up his ass. Or "arse" for our friends and allies across the Pond. Or "Atlantic Ocean" as it's known in the Colonies.

[@Gamesta100]

The 1st episode is a little dark. Astro Boy is a robot version of the Toblio who was killed in a car crash.

[@J_Cadaverous]

The "H" version would be: "AstroGlide Boy". If you know, you know. 😉 😂

[@kayfimt7769]

This game is frustratingly close to good. If only it controlled better it would have been quite a bit of fun.

[@cubeflinger]

Mm astroboy... I don't really want to click. Mmm tripplejump. Ok let's give this a go. Here we go. Sportstime.

[@Sweaty_Oku]

This game was awesome have no idea what your talking about

[@LexIconLS]

This game is a Metrocity.

[@gregsmith9183]

I was a fan of the 1980-81 Astro Boy TV series. Used to watch it all the time in the afternoon after school. Don't remember the 2003 series.

[@richcurtin6510]

Another great episode of Not Very Good Games for Self Lovers.

[@gentlesirpancakebottoms6692]

He kinda looks like a male version of betty Boop

[@thochaos13]

Early anime and manga art was heavily inspired by US cartoons, hence the big eyes for example. So he could well be!

[@Mintylight]

Why does he wear sexy latex underwear, red thigh high boots and Betty Boop makeup and hair? 😂

[@reeebvc]

Oh yeah! Worst Games time!

[@ItzOZZA]

You still watched cartoons aged 12? I was drinking and doing drugs aged at that age.

[@sonofthenorth18]

Good for you?

[@turrican1078]

Bratwurst, not the worst sausage in the world, just 'Wurst' than most.

[@ShowdeQuetzal]

I'm gonna start calling it A-ni-mai? And see how much time pass until someone punch My face

[@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious]

Hey guys I think Emma is bloody depressed as hell you should give her chocolate

[@mineraljunction]

the ost of this game means it simply cannot be one of the worst games ever. it's not even worse than most

[@luliby2309]

This game is giving me a weird Megaman Legends vibe for some reason. I wonder if Megaman was inspired by Astro Boy in the first place?...

[@justrok79]

I didn't even watch this...just came to say YOU'RE WRONG! Astro Boy was pretty good. To each their own though.

[@jeremiahfarquhar]

I liked this game too, but it was way too short imo Also, nice DOOM profile pic 👍

[@nachos1162]

I like the idea of being able to fly around as Astro boy in an open world but the main problem here is that the game just looks unfinished, like they were putting some care into it then 5 months before it launched sega went AYO WE GOTTA PUSH IT OUT WHILE ITS STILL RELEVANT, JUST REMOVE EVERYTHING CAUSING FPS ISSUES NOBODY WILL CARE ANYWAY!!!

[@ratman7969]

I timed myself while my friend watched me play and I beat this game in a 1hr 45 min with one death cause I was screwing around. Soundtrack, graphics, and some boss designs were well done. But the game was far too easy and the unskippable dialogue is a pain. The frame rate was bad from what I remember when you flew around the city.

[@AndrewB..]

Great video!

[@Milksword]

I remember this show! Never played the game though.

[@dbone3356]

"I look forward to being." Yeah. Me too.

[@weezercollector]

Um, the Swedish for bear...is Bjorn...🤔

[@Geotexify]

Just when I think I have seen all of thses I find another I missed. Fantastic. Its like the gift that keeps on giving.

[@tomleggett7000]

Yes! My favourite day of the fortnight!

[@Sunprism]

Yeah, For a while hentai dvds came out and no adult knew what they were in the 90s. You could pick up La Blue Girl at Sam Goody, right next to the Looney Toons boxed sets

[@nightsquats]

I suddenly feeling rocking, dunno why....

[@mikehubing7001]

Pray 🙏 for Ben and Peter for putting up with this game

[@kattekaren]

the patience of these lads!

[@thochaos13]

Weekend at Bernie's vibes with Emma.

[@TKMRacer28]

Hej Emma! I speak Swedish and djungel means jungle and skog is forest 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@mathieuleader8601]

Prof Ochanmizu looks very creepy in this its the eyes!

[@bbrianaistree]

Peter... stop forgetting your glasses.

[@MichaelOKeefe2009]

Astro Boy aired on CBBC.

[@scottwinfrey8250]

Why does he have thigh high boots? Astrofemboy...

[@JojenReed]

ENGAGE

[@Leostar-Regalius]

i played this game way back when i was younger, it isn't bad, just unpolished

[@illhumpy8696]

Idk if this was a ps2 exclusive being as how there was a gba game with the same self titled name and released around the same time as well.

[@XenoGX18]

I remember playing this game and love the music and graphics but hated the crappy gameplay

[@DragONheart27X]

This one sucked major ass but Omega Strain was Treasure at it's finest.

[@Tenchi10]

Veronica Taylor is the only Ash. :)

[@raviamodernepic]

lolol i remember cubix. this series is the best 😂

[@thegorzag879]

This was one of my favourite games as a kid ._.

[@Karrott2cents]

It's pronounced "Bassu" Also I was excited to play this game when it game out but all I did was fly around the city
