Chibi Robo debuted as a silent GameCube hero who went around a house performing tasks to make people happy. His move to the DS for his second outing in Chibi Robo: Park Patrol (in Japan, Sakasete Chibi Robo!) is, fittingly, accompanied by a move outside.
Now made permanent resident of a public park, Chibi has a clear goal from the start: to develop the park and increase its visitor count...
SBG: "Writers Andrew Passafiume and Graham Russell tend to be on opposite sides of the debate when talking about handheld games: Andrew would usually rather be playing on a big screen, and Graham likes that lower system specs makes devs focus on gameplay. In this two-part feature, the two get together and make their picks of the games that best and least fit on a portable."
3DS Tribe: "We continue our feature on the top ten handheld Nintendo games that Europe was denied with the last five on our list. We can guarantee to you that there isn’t much to call on that old phrase “Nintendo hates Europe” here, with the exception of one DS gem of course, that made it to Australia (another PAL region, even if PAL doesn’t apply to DS)."
Ripten: "Chibi Robo! 3 came out in Japan last year on July 23 for the Nintendo DS. Since then I can’t recall Nintendo of America even talking about this game even though the first two games in the Chibi Robo! series have been released in North America."
As a Nintendo fanboy, I'm not surprised. The GC one was actually really good, for a cleaning up game.
