I'd say the dancing takes significant points away from Astrobot.

Like the game's nostalgia is already kinda weird with so much of its focus being specifically on consumer electronics, but it manages to avoid that with all the fun little game cameos that are adorable and silly. But the second I see the Astrobots in the background doing the "smack the ass" dance, it swings me back towards "oh this is kinda crass and corporate, like every animated movie trying to stay relevant by adding a floss dance etc."

Scampusses (Scampi?) from Nioh 2. No contest.

Fat cat-like yokai (demons) who are always happy to see you.

You can find them in most levels and they can be recognized by the sleeping noises they make. Stroke their heads and they'll help you out!

They're a bit corpulent, but they have no problem keeping up.

Take them into the Dark Realm with you and the demonic energy will cause them to inadvertently blow up like pufferfish. Don't mind their angry look, however; they're still your staunch allies.

Exactly. It's completely lame and fake. It's only about looking trendy, not being genuinely cool by being different/himself.

Anything in Part-Time UFO is cute:

Personally, I found Dusa super annoying. Please just stop talking and be a bit more confident.

I though Team Ninja only added these things to the game because they wanted something cute in the game to follow you around.

I was then advised to summon 3 of them against a boss in Dream of Demon that I was struggling against and the boss died without even being able to fight back.

Gladys from AC dressed up in her yellow raincoat and a bow in her hair. Makes me feel guilty about not logging in for 4 months!

These are cute in an ugly way which is still very cute.
It's a trope!

I was sitting on a mad supply of bells of beckoning and I wondered why the game ket throwing them at you. They're cute when you encounter them, but would you really want to summon them just because?

In turns out that yes, yes you do.

Nothing will ever be funnier than people that don't interact with anything anime related determine what is a generic anime character
