Chibi-Robo is one of Nintendo’s most charming classics, and here’s why
Posted on 1 month ago by Ethan in Features, GameCube, Switch 2 | 0 comments
At the time of writing, Chibi-Robo is Nintendo’s latest offering in the GameCube division of Nintendo Switch Online’s emulators. Notably, this is the first time Nintendo has given any significant attention to Chibi-Robo since Zip Lash on 3DS. If you don’t know this already, Zip Lash is commonly attributed to the downfall of the entire series – it was a mediocre 2D platformer on a system with a ton of great 2D platformers, so it didn’t stand out and sold poorly as a result. Skip Ltd., the developers of the Chibi-Robo games, shut their doors soon after.
That’s why it feels important to look at the original Chibi-Robo now more than ever. It’s a very unique and charming little game, and it’s very much unlike most classic Nintendo franchises – it’s probably most similar to Pikmin, if I had to make a comparison. Regardless, today we’re talking all about the original Chibi-Robo, which you can now play via Nintendo Switch Online – but only if you have a Switch 2 and the Expansion Pack membership.

One of the longest Nintendo Directs ever just took place yesterday with the September 2025 presentation. Nintendo itself presented the latest news for both Switch 2 and Switch, but third-parties chimed in as well.
From Nintendo, games that are new announcements included Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2, Mario Tennis Fever, Pokemon Pokopia, and Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave. Other highlights include the Virtual Boy Nintendo Classics, Donkey Kong Bananza DLC, Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Metroid Prime 4 and Hyrule Wariors: Age of Imprisonment release dates. From third-parties, we saw Resident Evil Requiem (plus Resident Evil 7 and Village), Fatal Frame 2 Remake, Dragon Quest 7 Reimagined, and Danganronpa 2×2. This wasn’t everything, but you can catch up on it all here.
So now that the Nintendo Direct is over, how are you feeling about it? What was your favorite announcement? Let us know in the comments.
Atelier Resleriana getting physical release on Nintendo Switch in Asia with English support, pre-orders open
Posted on 1 month ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Options for getting a physical version of Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian are limited, but a release is at least planned for Asia.
The Atelier games have seen boxed copies in both North America and Europe. However, this time around, things are different. Neither region is receiving a physical release for Atelier Resleriana on Nintendo Switch. Strangely, the PS5 version will have a physical edition in Europe, but only on PS5. So for Nintendo Switch fans, the Asian physical release will come in handy since the system is region free – and English is supported on the cartridge.
