Fans of Chibi-Robo should enjoy Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Rich Oosouji. The two games are pretty similar. Players pick up trash, sweep floors, and do chores to keep Jenny and her family happy.

Nintendo stealth announced a new Chibi-Robo game for the DS slated to come out later this month and they still haven’t said anything about it. Doing a little digging we discovered this upcoming Chibi-Robo game gives the little robot a little vacuum cleaner.

A new red DSi will be go on sale in Japan on July 11. Shortly thereafter, it will be followed by a stealth announced Chibi Robo DS game.

Like other games in the New Play Control! lineup Nintendo revamped Chibi-Robo with motion control. In this version you point with the remote and click to make the tiny robot move. Originally, players controlled Chibi Robo with the analog stick on a Gamecube pad.

Late last year Nintendo of Japan started re-releasing Gamecube games with motion control. On June 11 the Wii de Asobou (aka New Play Control internationally) will take a break when New Play Control: Chibi-Robo and New Play Control: Metroid Prime 2 Echoes come out in Japan.   Details about enhancements other than motion control have [...]

Skip is one of the most sanguine video game studios around. This company was behind the pleasant, but unreleased in North America, Giftpia and delightful Chibi-Robo. Sure, Chibi-Robo shoots mecha-spiders with an arm cannon, but it’s still hard to imagine jovial Skip dabbling with the first person shooter genre. What happened to the project?   [...]

Skip released Chibi-Robo on the Gamecube, but not the Chibi-Robo seen in these videos. This gameplay footage is taken from a Chibi-Robo beta where the tiny hero emerged from an orange Gamecube in an inventor’s lab.   [youtube]http://youtube.com/watch?v=s4WBdmKCW7I[/youtube]   Notice the moving cursor? In this build Chibi-Robo had point and click style controls. It looks [...]

There’s no question that The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is going to get a lot of attention this week. And it should, it’s a great game. I dug the timed dungeons and I admit I have a soft spot for the younger, upbeat, cel-shaded Link. However, before it falls into complete obscurity Chibi Robo: [...]

In a stunning move, Nintendo decided to restrict sales of Chibi Robo: Park Patrol to Walmart when it comes out on October 2. Wal-Mart isn’t usually the place to showcase niche games, it’s something better suited at a major video game retailer like (love it or hate it) Gamestop. In the past Nintendo has given [...]

We heard the rumor that Gamestop / EB Games cancelled pre-orders of Chibi Robo: Park Patrol and to get to the bottom of this I sent an e-mail over to Golin Harris who takes care of Nintendo’s PR for additional information. Here’s what I got back:   We’ve seen the same and we’re not aware [...]

It comes out next week in Japan and Nintendo already has English screenshots of the Chibi Robo: Park Patrol to see. In the new gallery you can see Chibi-Robo driving a buggy, watering plants with his “squirter” and dancing with a boom box to make flowers produce seed.   Chibi Robo: Park Patrol takes place [...]

Now that the Phantom Hourglass is out Nintendo’s Japanese branch is focusing on Chibi Robo: Park Patrol. GoNintendo noticed the official site opened up with a series of gameplay videos. The bottom screen is used as an all-purpose control panel where you select items and perform actions. Just like the Gamecube game, Chibi Robo uses [...]

  After appearing at E3 last year Nintendo hasn’t said much about Chibi Robo: Park Patrol besides the September 24 release date. Finally some new screenshots showed up on Famitsu, but the graphics aren’t looking good. Some of the charm of the series seems lost with the creepy smiling flowers and messy backgrounds. On the [...]
