Chibi-Robo! Inspired 3D Platformer Misc. A Tiny Tale Confirmed For Switch

It actually looks kinda cool! It’s like if Pikmin and Chibi Robo got in bed together. I’ll watch it, I’m interested…

@somnambulance I’d like that too, but considering the original developer Skip went belly up, and the IP was never a big seller anyway, I wouldn’t hold my breath.

Definitely check out the earlier titles if you get a chance. Super fun and weird games. Also #chibirobo4smash

Looks bussin, I'm all for this. The song is so cute and mimics the atmosphere well.

I would mainly love a re-release of the first Chibi-Robo game myself, but if I can't have that, this might do! I think the main character has a solid amount of charm just like Chibi-Robo. I also just watched a small portion of that video above, and I gotta say that is looks so charming/sweet. It really looks like a feel good type of game. A have a good time type of game. I am getting a little hyped for this one.

@mereel @Dpullam @somnambulance The GC Chibi-Robo was such a great 3D Metroidvania.

One thing: Its for a small studio a bit comfortable to create a robot character as you don‘t have to deal with realistic organic textures, animations and especially faces. Which is perfectly fine. BUT: the fact that they didn‘t dare to create any living creatures like a mouse sorta emphasizes that.
When Nintendo does a robot game, then not because they can‘t model a living creature but because they wanna do a robot game. In this case it really feels like it was just easier to so.
as its an indie title this of course isn‘t a bad thing, I would just be careful when comparing it with Nintendo‘s work, even if its an obvious comparison by its looks.

Apart from that I think it looks pretty good. For indies, 3D can easily get way too much effort, so its quite nice to see someone daring to just go for it. Somehow it gave me also Banjo-Kazooie-vibes. I personally just don‘t really like robot-protagonists, as I rarely am able to emphasize with them. It really worked in the Steamworld-games or WallE, so theres a chance.

Wow, this looks great, love 3D platformers and the mini idea, yes yes and yes. PLEASE GOD give me a physical version

They've made Scott the Woz a very happy man.

As Bug Fables have shown; Indies do what Nintendon’t.

The only Chibi Robo game that I ever played was the one for the DS - Park Patrol, about 13 years ago. I loved it though, it was actually one of my favourite games to come out on the DS.

@Meteoroid absolutely true and generally I have quite respect that they even take on a 3D project at all as its just way more effort to generate a simple environment as it is in 2D. Still the lack of any NPCs feels a bit off.

I adored Chibi-Robo on the GameCube. I remember the days when I was a kid and 100% completed the game.

I played Park Patrol but wasn't able to get into it as much. Then all the following stuff looked like a poor direction for the series. Except that Japan-only DS game which looked like it was more like the original game. Bummer that we never got that one.

This one looks like a Chibi-Robo type game that I could really sink my teeth into! 3D platforming sounds like the best direction a game like Chibi-Robo could take to make the gameplay itself more interesting and compelling. As long as the character stories are in it and are fun, this is looking to be a better successor than we could have hoped before!

Gotta love indie devs!

This caught my eye immediately. I'll wait for a proper review first; Switch games have been pretty hit or miss on the performance side lately, and I don't want to ruin the experience (or my Switch) with a poorly optimized game at launch. But I'm cautiously optimistic this will end up in my library eventually.

I hope it doesn't blow.
