Can't remember the name of this game...

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
I was wondering if anyone could help me with this.

I saw a game a while back (about 1-3 months ago I think) previewed somewhere (could have been in a magazine or online). I remember thinking that it might be a nice gift for my wife. Unfrotunately, now that Christmas is upon us, I've completely forgotten the name of the game, and no amount of internet searching has helped so far.

I'll give you what little I remember (and some of it may be slightly wrong as it was months ago). It is also entirely possible that the game isn't even out yet.

If I remember correctly, you are very tiny. I think you are living in a house (at least at some point), as I'm picturing a screenshot with household items (ala Katamari Damaci) and you are very small in comparison (perhaps 3-6 inches tall).

The big thing I remember is that you have a power cord hanging out of you, and you can go to outlets in the house to "recharge" yourself... so you must be some sort of robot.

The feeling I remember getting from the preview was something along the lines of Animal Crossing or the Sims (i.e., not a game you "beat" persay).

Anyway, that is all I can really remember, any help would be appreciated!

Also, if it is a game that is already out, and you've played it, I wouldn't mind hearing your thoughts on it!

Thanks!

I think you mean Chibi Robo, a GameCube title. It won't be released until February of next year. It looks to be an interesting addition to the "wacky Japanese game" genre.

Thank you so much! That is definitely it.

Looks like it will probably be a Valentine's Day or Birthday gift instead of a XMas present, but I can deal with that!

Thanks again!

So... this is out now, I guess. I'm seeing nice reviews. Any chewers got a take on it? Looks like Legend of Zelda meets Short Circuit; I know, that sounds horrible, doesn't it? But it looks like a lot of fun, and yet a little disturbing with the whole dysfunctional family angle.

I actually haven't purchased it for my wife yet. I think I'm going to save it for her birthday.

The reason being is that I got her a DS with 3 DS games, and a Gamecube game for Christmas... so she has her hands full at the moment! She also got me X-Men Legends 2 which we play together, so very little time for another game.

Well, you turned out to be quite the procrastinator, eh?
