Chibi Robo Scans & Info

Posted May 13th 2005 by Eric Schwarzott.

Nintendo recharges the Chibi Robo.

In the latest Famitsu Weekly, there is an article about Chibi Robo, a game that was supposed to be published by Bandai long ago. Well that never happened, but the game is still coming out, heres why!

Miyamoto was impressed with the Chibi Robo character. So when Bandai pulled the plug (pun!), he contacted Mr. Nishi of Skip Ltd. and said, "How about we make a game using that Chibi Robo character?".

This version of the game is completely different than the previous incarnation, except for the character and basic idea of plugging Chibi Robo in to charge him up. The purpose of the game is to keep the human family happy, while conserving your electricity (since they have to pay for it).

It comes out June 23rd in Japan, no word on a North American release.

It sounds like a cool idea. They should have funded whatever the original team needed to finish the game.

From what I understand they worked with the original team to create a much better game.

I AGREE, MH, THAT IS SO CUTE! And great t-shirt too! Damn, this is too much cuteness. Hope they bring it over.
