Chibi-Robo! Comes to Nintendo Switch Online Next Week

The GameCube classic will sweep and scrub its way into your hearts.

One of the perks of being a Nintendo Switch 2 user is that the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack tier of subscription has a console-exclusive retro library. Nintendo GameCube games can only be played on Switch 2, and the latest game coming to the service is Chibi-Robo! Take a look:

So, what is Chibi-Robo! all about? Here's what Nintendo has to say about the 2006 classic:

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 find happiness. Day or night, he’ll help however he can, whether that’s by 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! will be available on NIntendo Switch 2 starting August 21, 2025. If you're interested in playing, you'll need to have an active paid Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription. Once you do, head to the eShop and download the Nintendo GameCube app and you can get to playing.
