Whether they were released on a console that flopped, like Kirby and the Rainbow Curse for Wii U, or they were just lost to an oversaturated market, every generation of consoles has its Chibi-Robo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s good news on that front though &#8211; Nintendo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NintendoUK\/status\/1955539838314148186\">latest announcement<\/a> guarantees that Chibi-Robo won\u2019t be lost to the sands of time. While not everyone wants to purchase a GameCube just for a few games that didn\u2019t get ported over, Nintendo is saving games from dying on the old console through the Switch 2\u2019s Nintendo Classics feature, which sees access to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/online\/nintendo-switch-online\/classic-games\/\">old games<\/a>\u00a0when you purchase a Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. Chibi-Robo will be available through this feature from August 21.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chibi-Robo is a 2006 adventure-platformer where you play as a little robot who helps around the house, aiming to help the Sanderson family and collect \u2018Happy Points\u2019 in order to become the fabled Super Chibi-Robo. It\u2019s a charming masterpiece &#8211; with awesome worldbuilding, fun puzzles, a great cast of characters, and a surprisingly mature and nuanced storyline. It also has that classic Nintendo oddness about it, with the garbled voicelines and slightly hallucinogenic color palette. Plug yourself in to charge up, connect electricity lines, and solve puzzles.<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n\t\t\t\tContinue reading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/nintendo-switch\/chibi-robo\">Nintendo is plugging this underrated GameCube classic into its Switch 2 library<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tMORE FROM POCKET TACTICS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/the-best-switch-games\">The best Switch games<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/new-switch-games\">The best upcoming Switch games<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pockettactics.com\/best-switch-rpgs\">The best Switch RPGs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nothing hurts me more as a Nintendo fan than seeing a great game go underappreciated.
