>>28776101I felt the opposite way.
Everything in Robobot seems like am improvement to me.
The Robobot armor was much better than the Hypernova, you weren't forced to use it and the level doesn't stop for it.
The OST and bosses were vastly superior.
Haltmann was a much better and tragic villain than Sectonia.
The game really doesn't feel any easier than Triple Deluxe.
Even the extra modes are better. Meta Knight has those extra abilities that add variety to him beyond just being sword plus wing, where as Dedede was just hammer.
