By Alana Hagues Yesterday, 6pm : 56 Image: Nintendo Life / Nintendo Over the holiday season, we’re republishing some of the best articles from Nintendo Life writers and contributors from 2025 . I’ve spent 20 years “awww”-ing over the delightful character of Chibi-Robo despite having never played any of his games.

Why This Matters

This cute little robot is just joy incarnate – tiny and helpful with gormless black eyes. Whether it be his trophy in Smash Bros. Brawl or magazine ads for the DS or 3DS games, I always fawned over gaming’s littlest guy.

This is the kind of news that gets gamers talking across social media.

Key Takeaways

• Well, kind of: the character is cute, but the game?
