As we noted a few days ago, Chibi-Robo will soon arrive on Nintendo Switch Online via the Expansion Pack. In celebration of that, over on Twitter, the original GameCube title’s director, Hiroshi Moriyama, decided to elaborate on what it was that drove him to make this quirky little title. Ironically, it wasn’t that he had an “all-new idea” he wanted to create, but instead, he looked at The Legend of Zelda franchise and thought about what it would be like if certain gameplay elements were taken away:
It’s always interesting to hear the origin stories of titles like this, and you have to wonder if this little robot could make a return in the future. You never know!
