Nintendo has released one additional game for the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack’s Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics app. Let’s have a look!

Here’s what I thought of this game:

Nintendo GameCube – Nintendo Classics

I know there’s a small but dedicated fanbase for the Chibi-Robo series thanks largely to this first game in the series, but I just don’t see what others like about this. Yes, it’s extremely charming, but so are numerous other Nintendo games, and that charm is crushed under tons of tedious gameplay and horrible pacing that ties everything you do to a ticking energy meter, and what you do is pretty underwhelming too.

It’s not like I have a hate on for the series either – I rather liked the Nintendo 3DS successor to this game. No, I’m not talking about Zip-Lash, that was horrible. I’m talking about Chibi-Robo! Photo Finder, which cut down on the tedium of this game quite a lot in my opinion.

I suppose if you’re curious to try one of Nintendo’s more oddball and experimental games, you might find something interesting here, but I definitely don’t think this is going to be a game that most players will enjoy.

tl;dr – The Nintendo GameCube app on Nintendo Switch 2 gets a cult favorite, Chibi-Robo!, that unfortunately has tedious gameplay and poor pacing that make it difficult to appreciate the game’s cuteness. I know this game has its fans, but I’m not one of them, and I doubt you will be either.
