Over on NeoGAF, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez discussed a number of topics/complaints brought up by fans, such as the lack of news regarding Guxt for 3DS, Grinsia’s technical problems, and more.

Check out his comments in full below:

Coming from a Nintendo of Europe Press Release Chibi-Robo! Let’s Go, Photo is heading to the 3DS eShop on July 3rd. Here are the details that have been confirmed:

  • The game will make heavy use of the system’s cameras for Augmented Reality centered mechanics
  • Taking photos of real-life objects with in-game silhouettes will transform them into NostalJunk, sending it into the game
  • Earn Happy Points by helping a cast of new characters like a sushi-slinging squid or an eccentric pair of chefs who need Chibi’s help. Happy Points are used to buy more silhouettes
  • European players can enter NostalJunk Contests through SpotPass to win exclusive Chibi-Robo costumes for use in-game
