Another Chibi-Robo game in Japan!?

Not until I saw Blake’s post about the upcoming DS and Wii games did I know about a new Chibi-Robo game for the DS! The literal translation of its title is “Welcome Home Chibi-Robo! Happy, Rich Big Sweep!” and involves Chibi-Robo cleaning up around the home of daughter Jenny from the first game, who is all grown up with a son and dog. Apparently the notoriously harsh Famitsu gave the game high scores and it sold really well when it was released in Japan last week, so there may be hope of seeing the game in other territories. Based on what I saw in this video, the game looks like a cross between the original GameCube Chibi-Robo title and the Park Patrol DS game from a couple of years ago. Even if you’ve never heard of Chibi-Robo, the video preview makes me think it could be an all-around awesome DS title.
Any other Chibi-Robo fans out there?

The wife loves her Chibi-Robo games, she’ll be quite happy if this new one hits North America.

I played the original game on GameCube and it just wasn’t my speed. But there were things I liked about it. I really liked Chibi-Robo himself, and I wish he had been featured in some way (beyond a trophy or a sticker) in Smash Bros. Brawl.

I played it on Gamecube and although I never actually finished playing, it was a lot of fun. I hope this DS version shows up here!

My wife loved the first game, but was a bit “ehh” on the ds game, so if this goes back more to the style of the first one, she’ll be all for it. Hopefully it gets over here!

I think the original was one of the best Gamecube games, if not the best. Like the best animated movies, it had a happy, glossy exterior but some really adult concepts buried underneath it. The first DS game was a shallow experience, but this one looks a lot more like the original. I really hope they localize this for the US.
