Chibi-Robo!

and how many experimental weird small Nintendo games do we have that we really enjoy over all these decades that would not have had a chance, you know, for every wee music we had Pikmin and all these other games that came out that were considered weird as hell when they first released.

Chibi Robo is one that I absolutely fricking love.

And that was weird as hell.

Um, So I think he's still, you know, he still goes in, I think, and does the tossing of, you know, overturning the tea table or however they say it to kind of get some of the ideas going.

I have n- I am baffled that this is on this list.

What is it? Is it Chibi Robo? No, [laughs] I don't know.

No, no.

Mother, Mother 3 [laughs].

What are the weird

games? Okay, we talked about Chibi-Robo a little bit already, or at least you mentioned that you played it.

That's a pretty weird game.

What? They're taking a lot of...

Yeah, I think it was more like, hey, you guys like little guys, right? This is a little guy that we can still use.

They were looking

through their IP and they're like, what haven't we tried to exploit yet? We own Chibi-Robo.

Yeah.

So there, there are about 30 games you should skip.

One, one more I wanna shout-out is, uh, Chibi-Robo! on the GameCube-

Yes

... is on, is on Nintendo Switch Online.

All righty.

Our next question is going to be from episode two, Chibi-Robo.

Hello, and this is Lawson from Super Wall Jump, and I have a question for you about Chibi-Robo.

There's a lot of toys in the Sanderson household, but this one toy is the favorite of the dad.

Is it A, Kid Eggplant, B, Freaky Phil, C, Deena, D, Drake Redcrest, or E, Captain Plankbeard?

There it is.

Drake Redcrest, that's my answer.

That is also my answer, although I would contend Chibi-Robo itself feels like a more apt answer.

But, um, I don't know.

When I was playing the game last night and hearing these songs, it really brought Chibi-Robo to mind.

And I guess that there is like a certain shared clunkiness in the game and there's an openness and exploratory nature to the game.

Maybe that's what's making me think of Chibi-Robo.

But I don't know, being able to connect Deadly Premonition and Chibi-Robo in any way makes me feel like I'm the crazy one.

No, I can see what you're driving at there.

Yeah.

[laughs] And I wanna say, like, okay, Pikmin's got, like, four games now.

Where's my Chibi-Robo game for Switch?

Oh, that'd be cool.

cool.Where's it at? Yeah And don't say NSO, 'cause God, that game is awful.

I can't stand it.

Give me time to explore, give me time to...

Like, if there was a Chibi-Robo game where it was, like, about serving people, like, you know, like Chibi-Robo is the, the...

It's basically a Roomba.

Yeah.

You learn about Yo because you see a rocket going off in the distance and your family's like, Yo's at it again.

That's the rocket boy.

Rocket boy.

I hope he doesn't crash into here.

Mm-hmm.

seemingly out of, I don't know, some sort of embarrassment.

But as you meet Yo, you can find broken pieces of his rocket to help him repair it and learn kind of why he's doing that, his interest in science and how he's not really a good student, but he has an extreme aptitude for complicated things.
