Chibi-Robo! Heading to 3DS

Nintendo of Japan have announced a new entry in the Chibi-Robo! series.

Guru-Guru Chibi-Robo 3DS! switches the 3D action seen in the previous GameCube and DS installments and sees Chibi-Robo placed in a 2D side-scrolling platformer.

Chibi-Robo can use his plug as a whip-like weapon to attack enemies and destroy blocks, as well as a grappling hook to reach previously inaccessible areas.

Guru-Guru Chibi-Robo 3DS! will also release alongside a special Chibi-Robo amiibo which, when touched during gameplay, transforms Chibi-Robo into Super Chibi-Robo, a more powerful version complete with a golden paint-job.

Guru-Guru Chibi-Robo 3DS! and its respective amiibo will be released this Autumn in Japan. No Western release has yet been announced.
