Nintendo shared a trailer to remind people how the game works. Chibi is a small robot purchased by a household to help make life easier. This means cleaning up with a small brush or collecting trash. The robot can also talk to toys around the house and help them. By taking care of folks and helping out, you can earn Happy Points, Moolah, and climb the Chibi- Ranking.

Here’s how the Chibi-Robo GameCube entry will look on the Switch 2. 

Chibi-Robo is the first of five games in the series, and one of three that follows the traditional goal of assisting a family in a household by cleaning up and helping everyone who lives there. The first three games all followed this pattern, though the third entry only appeared on the DS in Japan. The most recent two were the spin-offs Chibi-Robo: Photo Finder, an augmented reality title, and the platformer Chibi-Robo: Zip Lash.  

Chibi-Robo is available for the GameCube, and it will join the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack tier for Switch 2 owners on August 21, 2025.
