Chibi-Robo Is The Next GameCube Game Coming To Nintendo Switch Online, Arrives Next Week

  Back in April, Nintendo announced that its Switch Online + Expansion Pack service was, well, <a href="https://gameinformer.com/nintendo-direct/2025/04/02/gamecube-games-are-coming-to-switch-2">expanding, to include GameCube games</a>. The initial offering included The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, Soulcalibur II, and F-Zero GX, and <a href="https://gameinformer.com/2025/06/27/super-mario-strikers-is-the-next-gamecube-title-coming-to-nintendo-switch-online">Super Mario Strikers hit the catalog last month</a>. Now, Nintendo has revealed the next GameCube game coming to NSO: Chibi-Robo!

Hitting the service next week on Aug. 21, Chibi-Robo! is the first game in the cult-classic series that later expanded to systems like the Nintendo DS and 3DS. It’s quite a unique game in Nintendo’s unique pantheon of IP – check it out for yourself in the trailer below: 

“Chibi-Robo is a four-inch-tall robot who’s arrived at the Sanderson house with the goal of helping the family get the most out of life and happiness,” the game’s description reads. “Day or night, he’ll help however he can, whether that’s cleaning or looking for lost items. 

“In this chibi action-adventure title originally released for the Nintendo GameCube system in 2006, you’ll aim for the top of the Chibi-Rankings by gathering Happy Points and Moolah (aka money)! It’s rumored that Chibi-Robo will become Super Chibi-Robo if he reaches the top of the rankings, but between a daughter who only speaks in the language of frogs and toys that come alive when humans aren’t around, Chibi-Robo has his work cut out for him in the mystery-packed Sanderson house.” 

Chibi-Robo hits NSO + Expansion Pack on Aug. 21.
