The bit Generations/Art Style series sold better?
Plus it's pretty obvious with this game that they want to make Chibi Robo themed games even if they aren't alike anymore anyway. Mascots are always easier to push than a simplistic art series.

I don't see why this wouldn't get localised. If Photo Finder did, then I'm sure this will too.
The Lorry is in even more danger this time dammit.T_T

The fact that they're releasing an amiibo pretty much guarantees the game will get a worldwide release.
Looked really fun <3

Chibi Robo joining the long list of Nintendo 2D platforming franchises, I'm more than okay with this.
Now just bring it to Europe this time.

If you look at the copyright slide, Skip is in there for the amiibo. They own the character. Maybe Nintendo co-owns it in small part, I don't know. Bandai has nothing to do with this though. The reason Bamco is in the copyright is because Chibi Robo was originally a Bamco thing before Nintendo picked it up. http://www.unseen64.net/2008/04/09/chibi-robo-gc-bandai-beta-version/
No reason to think anyone other than Skip is making this game.
The last one came. Only the DS ones didn't make it here.
The existence of an amiibo guarantees that this will come out everywhere, btw.

It's interesting that there's an Amiibo, I think that probably means it won't be digital only again.

That's true, I tend to forget that the second DS game was actually on the DS and not a 3DS one.

I don't give two shits about Chibi-Robo but I'm such a sucker for Amiibo's I'm getting this regardless.

For anyone who hasn't seen the trailer yet...
This game interests me greatly. I've never been able to get into Chibi Robo, really, but I'm totally down with a 2D platformer take on the series!

Between this, R.O.B., and Duck Hunt, I am fucking screwed.
EDIT: Is Chibi-Robo jumping in that trailer? Bullshit, this ain't Chibi-Robo, this is some imposter.
The first shot in the trailer along with that music got me super excited for a new Metroid.
They're preparing him for Smash 5.

Another fucking 2D platformer? Come on, this isn't even a series that ever had 2D roots.

I don't give a damn that it's 2D i'm just happy that theres another chibi robo game and that it's getting a physical release not just a lame digital only download.
With chibi robo games there's no 100% gaurantee that they will make it to everywhere, hell Nintendo didn't even bother in the UK releasing either of the DS ones.
Would have been amazing to see them do a sequel to chibi robo happy rich oosouji as that was the direct sequel to the original gamecube one.

He's been in control of the Metroid button for 5 years now. Chibi Robo is the fucking kingpin.

Seems like it'll be a fun game and I really like the mechanics with the power plug. While it's certainly different from past entries, this could be a good way to expand the franchise and its audience (plus, I can see this contributing to a Smash Bros. moveset).

That amiibo is awesome.

While I am always excited for more Chibi Robo, I don't know how I feel about them deviating so much from the adventure gameplay we have come to expect from the series. This may prove to be fun in the end, but it's unlikely to scratch that Chibi Robo itch for me. I want a full-fledged console sequel, dammit!
That amiibo will most assuredly be mine, however. This is the first amiibo that I actually will do whatever it takes to snag.

Yah guys. As someone who knows drago IRL, he's going to flip.
Nintendo skipped the third Chibi-Robo game, and that was more traditional than the 3DS title.
I do hope this comes...

I love the original chibi robo in the gamecube and i hope nintendo make another game like that. But this new game for the 3ds...i don't like it nothing.

it looks cute tbh. It's like they are setting him up to be a smash contender.
