    I loved this game on the Gamecube, I'm so happy they don't forgot about him =') , Maybe is not a game as big like it was on the gamecube, but it's still something and it's awesome

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love the game ^_^
    Keeps you busy, keeps you striving for 100% shots, and there's plenty of laughs from all the different characters.
    The challenges and puzzles keep you on your toes, though some are rather easy.

    As a hint, if you're having trouble getting 100% shots or don't have some items in your home or nearby, google images is always an option lol    … Expand

    This is an adorable, fun game. The original Chibi Robo was one of my favourite games of all time, and this one doesn't disappoint for what the price is. It's a really cool idea and I didn't realize how quickly it would turn into a scavenger hunt - I'm 26 and I have my parents helping me find things to fit the outlines. It's pretty awesome seeing your household items come to life (myThis is an adorable, fun game.

It's pretty awesome seeing your household items come to life (my personal favourite was the outlet). The only thing I would improve at this point is adding an option for text speed. There's a lot of repetitive dialogue and it gets annoying waiting for it to finish. Otherwise I would have given it a 10. Looking forward to playing more of this game. it's worth every penny!… Expand

    It's really good and fun. Before I bought, I was thinking "It looks fun to take a real picture and it be transported to the game by Chibi, but just it?". Fortunately, I was mistaken. There are a lot of things to do in the game: Missions, exploring, etc. And it all for just $ 9,99. Buy and enjoy =)

    I had a really good time with this game. I played it for quite some time by myself and my daughter started to help me search for objects to find. It is like a giant scavenger hunt.

    Great game with a decent price tag, since you are getting a full game for just 9.99, what a steal! You will enjoy this if you liked the past entries, and am happy that Nintendo revived a franchise, now revive f zero and starfox Nintendo.

    Steal this charming, original, fun, addictive game now! I have logged over 10 hours and not even close to being 50% through the game. $9.99? Nintendo is giving us a gift! Skip the demo, buy the game (as you will need to redo over an hour of gameplay if you buy the game after demo). Any game that pulls me away from animal crossing for 2 days is doing it's job!

    Another classic and quirky Chibi-Robo experience. What starts off as a very slow, and oftentimes bizarre introduction to a new Chibi, and a new world, the game slowly blossoms into another addictive and thoroughly enjoyable entry in the series. While I wish I got to spend more time with the Chibi Vaccum and Toothbrush, the Photo Finder main game starts boring and then gets realllly fun -Another classic and quirky Chibi-Robo experience. What starts off as a very slow, and oftentimes bizarre introduction to a new Chibi, and a new world, the game slowly blossoms into another addictive and thoroughly enjoyable entry in the series. While I wish I got to spend more time with the Chibi Vaccum and Toothbrush, the Photo Finder main game starts boring and then gets realllly fun - once one makes the creative decision to do something cool with their museum. You'll need the 100% (hint: just take pics on the internet) to get the cut outs and then you can make a museum of whatever you want. Chibi's back, and he looks gorgeous in 3D. Here's hoping for more entries!… Expand

    I loved Chibi-Robo on GameCube so I was hoping for this to be as charming as the original even if it's not the same kind of gameplay. Sadly, I found this game to be somewhere between painfully boring and just plain broken. I had a VERY hard time finding the proper lighting and objects to photograph for the game to even register my photos. I'd say at least 75% of the time my photos did notI loved Chibi-Robo on GameCube so I was hoping for this to be as charming as the original even if it's not the same kind of gameplay.

I had a VERY hard time finding the proper lighting and objects to photograph for the game to even register my photos. I'd say at least 75% of the time my photos did not register. That is a very bad failure rate. Even when the photos DID work, this game is the same thing over and over. Just taking pictures. Also this game is very short. Chibi-Robo deserved much better than this.… Expand

    When I played it, I actually feel like Chibi-Robo is actually in real life on my 3DS!

    The central mechanic barely works. [Sept 2014, p.122]

    It's hard for a game to win hearts when it keeps kicking you in the shins. [Aug 2014, p.82]

    As a standalone retail release it would be passable, but as a cheap download what has been packed in is simply amazing and surprisingly addictive.
