    • Chibi-Robo Retrospective
    I think it’s safe to say that up until this point, Chibi-Robo has had it pretty rough. His first game, Plug into Adventure wasn’t marketed at all, and sold fairly poorly. His next game, Park Patrol was a fresh new take on the formula, but...was only available at Walmart and..sold fairly poorly. It was starting to seem like for whatever reason, Nintendo just...didn’t want this series to succeed. But regardless, they still gave him another chance, as 2009 would see another Chibi-Robo released on the DS in the form of Okaeri! Chibi-Robo! Happy Richie Ōsōji! Or, just Chibi-Robo Clean Sweep. This game aimed to take the series back to its roots, which I definitely appreciate. But, is it truly a worthy follow up? Or does it completely miss the point? Let’s find out with my review/retrospective of Chibi-Robo: Clean Sweep.

    I love how the problems in the mainline Chibi-Robo games are so real. You're either helping to repair a failing marriage and comforting a traumatized daughter, or you're helping a widow find closure in the early death of her fiancee and showing her son that it's selfish to forbid his mom from searching for new love because he misses the dad he hardly knew.
    What a franchise.

    there is just something I love about how because chibi robo did so much for Jenny and her family, her solution to her family’s problems is to get another chibi robo and he also does his best to help Jenny.
    They have a cute and heartwarming dynamic.
    I do have to wonder what happen to the original chibi robo and Jenny’s parents though.

  • @KeenRetroGames

    The start of the game shows the ruins of the family's house from the first Chibi Robo, which burned down. Chibi is lost and forgotten and powered down. It's a grim start to the game but it helps explain why Jenny is living in squalor.

    This game looks great for an original DS game! The textures are fairly detailed and the environments are pretty large and full of nice little touches. I think the thing I'm most impressed by (at least in terms of the first and third games) is how mature and emotional the plots can get. There's some pretty heavy stuff in these games and I would never expect a game published by such a big company (especially not Nintendo!) to tackle things like parental disputes (and potential divorce!) or a small family facing money problems and struggling to get by. And what's really incredible is how they handle these topics in a serious manner while still delivering on the classic Nintendo charm (and the games aren't even developed in-house by Nintendo!).
    I've recently gotten a better PC... er... I mean A Very Legit And Power Nintendo Console that can emula- er... I mean play these classic titles after I totally bought them off of Ebay for $70, so I'm excited to give them a chance (at least the first and second ones).
    Great videos, man!

    I always thought it would be interesting if in a new pikmin game; if they ever stranded the player on the planet and removed the ship. They have the 2nd or 3rd playable captain be a long abandoned chibi Robo. An that's what you use to carry ship parts, fruit, treasure, etc..

      I found a custom cartridge English fan translation of this game on eBay for $29. You can totally play this game in English if you have an original DS or DS Lite. DSi-2DSXL will not be able to play it. I bought a Japanese copy of the original game to somewhat justify the pirated version, even though none of the proceeds go to Nintendo at this point.

    you know i imagined a game where 5 family's bought a chibi station and each houses had its own problem like the first house being a rich house meaning they have people doing the cleaning for them witch that would be easy it would have most of tools other games had give or take but the last house have so many problems that chibi would have to fix but i really want this to happen where the fan base makes the next installment like in Little big Planet restitched lets hope. also great vid

    • @simcity356
      @simcity356 3 роки тому

      I had a similar idea lol. However, instead of multiple houses just make an apartment complex with multiple residents( maybe four or five). Maybe have one of them be a loner who's too depressed to clean or tidy up. Have him buy Chibi Robo and as the game progresses you meet other families/people in the apartment and just help improve the atmosphere. Maybe as extra endgame content make one of the residents be a housekeeper or baby/dogsitter and you can hitch a ride to the new house they work at and now you have a whole new location to take care of. What would be really interesting is having a Chibi Robo competitor or knockoff that's hinted at throughout the game and when you get to the new house they have one, but it's bad at it's job and you help it learn to be a better cleaner

    The sad thing about New Play Control: Chibi-Robo is that the New Play Control line as a whole didn't do well commercially, as made evident by how short its run is and how few games make up the line.

    Honestly I think it’s so cute that this is the same Chibi Robo and little girl, just all grown up, from the first game. Makes it feel like this little robot is really a part of this particular family, and not just another tool or appliance.
    I just don’t understand why some companies would just self sabotage their own products or IPs like Nintendo has with Chibi Robo. No Wii port of the original outside of Japan, and no localization of the direct sequel on the DS. Maybe it’s bad blood between developers and publisher that cause these decisions to be made, but it’s really unfortunate for the fans and everyone else involved in the creative process. As a fan of the original, I would’ve loved this DS sequel as a kid.
