Chibi-Robo: Let's Go, Photo!

Finally out here July 3rd!

At last another Chibi-Robo game!

I'm very happy about this. I was being to think it would never come out.
I'll be interesting how they get around asking us to talk pictures of US/Japanese items, Eg plug sockets?

Colour me interested in this. I've never played a Chibi-Robo game... although I suspect this won't quite have that proper CR gameplay.

If I buy this, will they release another "proper" Chibi Robo game in the UK? Because that's the criterion I'm working with, if I'm honest.

Quite intrigued by this, never played the cube chibi-robo a whole lot but this hopefully leads to them using the character more.

Surely it wouldn't be that hard to change that part to our plug sockets?

Nice. I'm a big fan of Chibi-Robo and his game world - I think this is a really smart idea and I'm really looking forward to downloading it, even if the reviews weren't too brilliant for the North American version earlier this year.

I'm with Roo on this one, and I think Chris Schilling is reviewing it for the EU release, so I'll be interested in reading his thoughts on it. He tends to nail what a Nintendo game is all about.

I wonder if the game's delay was due to having to change things like the power socket. I tried the Japanese demo and one of things you need to photograph is a power socket, which had me stumped since ours have three prongs and are aligned differently. Ended up drawing one on a piece of paper...

I'd use a screenshot of the Japanese version of the game!

Poor Chibi Robo, so confused.

Just been trying out the demo. I found the controls for cleaning stuff up being a little clunky, and some things were slightly annoying ("come back to the main area, you need to recharge! Wait, you can't come back! Get rid of the rubbish!"; "thanks for the rubbish - let me check the dust bag... oh, still not full..." I JUST WANT TO GET ON WITH IT). Also finding some of the voices a little grating.

It's sweet, though, and I haven't played through the entire demo yet. Not ruling out buying it sometime.
