Review Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash (3DS)
Robots in plain sight
If you want to be all reductive about it, you can say there are two types of Nintendo mascot games: Biggies and Smallies. Everyone knows the Biggies because they're the company pillars, the keystones keeping Nintendo in the money: your Marios, Pokemons, and so forth. They're polished, beautiful, and ultimately a little safe...

News What's Going On With Chibi-Robo Developer Skip?
Has this cult studio finally shut its doors?
Chibi-Robo! might not be of the same stature as Zelda, Mario or even Kirby, but it's a Nintendo franchise that has plenty of fans, and its refreshingly original gameplay and quirky sense of humour have set it apart from similar titles over t

News Standalone Chibi-Robo amiibo Will Be Amazon Exclusive in North America, Releases 30th November
Pre-orders go live on 19th November
Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash has been out for a while now and it unfortunately doesn't seem to have performed too well. While this could potentially signal the end of the series, it nonetheless was a decent, if so
Other evergreen releases hold the fort
The UK chart results are out and, yes, Call of Duty: Black Ops III is easily number one. That's hardly surprising, but the overall Nintendo results have prompted us to raise our eyebrows. Let's get the bad news out of the way - Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash appears to have tanked at launch in the UK. Not only is it...
Nintendo Download 5th November (Europe)
Chibi-Robo! Electronic Super Joy! Contra! Toki Tori 3D! More!
Another week begins, and Nintendo of Europe has the task of setting off some virtual fireworks in its Download Update. It does succeed in terms of delivering a first-party retail title on 3DS, while we think the download-only scene on Wii U is looking pretty encouraging this week. Throw...
Nintendo Download 29th October (Europe)
Project Zero! Resi 4! Binding of Isaac! Freedom Planet! Much, much more!
It's the start of another week, but Nintendo fans in Europe at least have the download update to cheer their spirits. This week's edition seems to be a bit of a doozy, in fairness, with a mix of in-demand titles across both Wii U and - notably - the New Nintendo 3DS / 3DS; on...
News The Chibi-Robo amiibo is Being Sold Separately in Japan
Perhaps Nintendo has similar plans for the West?
Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash launched recently in North America to somewhat middling critical reception. We awarded the game a 6/10, praising its solid gameplay and criticising its somewhat derivative execution. The game also launched alongside an amiibo which was sold exclusively in a bundle with the game...

First Impressions Plugging In To Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash
Little Robo, big heart
The first time we played Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash at this year's E3, it was on a 3DS tethered by cable to a mobile Nintendo representative. It felt oddly appropriate given the wired nature of the game's protagonist, but sadly, pressing 'B' did not - as we would have hoped - release the cord. Later on during the show, we got to...
About The Game
Everyone's favourite little robot is back, this time in a side-scrolling action game!
In Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash, Chibi-Robo must swing his plug to whip enemies, reach far-off platforms and solve environmental puzzles, as well as collect upgrades to extend his plug for getting hard-to-reach collectibles and uncovering hidden areas.
Launching at the same time exclusively in a Chibi Robo!: Zip Lash bundle is a new Chibi-Robo amiibo figure. This new amiibo transforms Chibi-Robo into the all-powerful Super Chibi-Robo in certain stages in the game. In addition, players can level up this Chibi-Robo amiibo to acquire a variety of in-game collectible figures by saving their scores at the end of each stage.

HYPE TO THE MAX
I have no idea what this game is but that amiibo is cute as f**K
What - we don't have enough side-scrolling platformers? Now we have to recruit Chibi Robo to use his electrical cord like a whip? Great job, Nintendo! Keep running your franchises into the ground. Maybe I can quit playing video games altogether.
Can't wait for this! Is it defo being released in Nov in Europe? Totally want that Amiibo too.
Am I the only one who's nicknamed this game "Chibi-Vania"?
this game blows.
@kenlawson ahahaha yeah. . .about that. . .
