VANCOUVER, B.C., October 7, 2015 – When Earth’s resources are in danger from a mischievous group of aliens, there’s only one robot with the skill to save the world! That robot’s name is Chibi-Robo, and he’s the star of the energetic new game Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash, launching exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on October 9. Chibi-Robo might be small in size, but his adventuring skills are as big as the most intrepid explorers! Using his plug and cord, Chibi-Robo can whip, grapple and swing his way through a huge side-scrolling platformer filled with dangerous enemies and clever environmental puzzles. By scanning the Chibi-Robo amiibo figure that is included in the special bundle, players can access bonus features like the ability to power up to Super Chibi-Robo, increasing Chibi-Robo’s speed and watts and allowing him to travel for longer distances without having to charge up.

“With colourful graphics, accessible game play and a lovable main character, Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash is perfect for every member of the family,” said Pierre-Paul Trepanier, Nintendo of Nintendo of Canada’s General Manager and Senior Director. “It is a terrific addition to the robust series of fun Nintendo games launching between now and the end of year.”

Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash takes the much-loved Chibi-Robo series in a new direction. While previous games focused on completing chores in a third-person 3D environment, this new Nintendo 3DS game is a classic side-scrolling adventure with a strong focus on discovery and exploration. In the game, Chibi-Robo travels through a variety of action-packed environments. Using his signature plug and cord, he can whip enemies, swing over chasms, ricochet shots and grapple to scale walls. By collecting boost balls, his cord can be extended, allowing Chibi-Robo to access previously out-of-reach areas and search for a variety of different collectibles, including many surprising real-world snacks. The game is overflowing with tons of collectibles to find, bosses to battle and hidden areas to discover.

In addition to activating Super Chibi-Robo, players can use a Toy Capsule Machine by scanning the Chibi-Robo amiibo to the New Nintendo 3DS system or Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL or Nintendo 2DS systems using the Nintendo 3DS NFC Reader/Writer accessory (sold separately). This fun machine, located in the Chibi-House, can only be accessed using the amiibo figure and unlocks delightful items like collectible figures and bonus stages. Players can even level up the Chibi-Robo amiibo itself by recording in-game score data. The higher the level of the amiibo, the more times the player can become Super Chibi-Robo each day during game play and the better chance the player will receive rare items from the Toy Capsule Machine.

Chibi-Robo! Zip Lash will launch as a bundle that includes the game and Chibi-Robo amiibo on October 9 at a suggested retail price of $49.99.

An adventure about the Chronus Fragments. Dungeons filled with puzzles to solve! Change classes and engage in your quest!

The Chronus Fragments are needed to prepare for the Time Rewinding, which only takes place once every 10 years. On their way to the Chronus Shrine to get the Fragments, Loka and his teacher Teth are surrounded by a mysterious man named Geppel and his gang. They demand the Fragments. While Teth plays for time, Loka, the main character, rushes out of the cave on his own to fetch reinforcements. He is successful, but Teth and Geppel are nowhere to be found.

Aiming to gather information about his missing teacher, Teth, and Geppel, who is trying to get his hands on the Fragments, Loka decides to set out on a journey with his friend Sarna.

The game features familiar quests, but also dungeons filled with puzzles to solve, and characters who grow and can be developed as the story progresses with the class change system.

Also, additional dungeons and special items are available for extra fun by collecting Mana!

Don’t miss out on Loka and his friends’ grand adventure!

Fast Racing NEO is one of the hottest titles in the Wii U ‘Nindies’ section at EGX, which is currently taking place at the NEC in Birmingham in the UK. It’s the largest expo of its kind in the country, and the Shin’en Multimedia title is getting plenty of attention.

We’ve spent plenty of time with Martin Sauter, the Art Director on the project, to talk about the title and to also go hands on with the game. We’ll be sharing a full interview feature and videos very soon, but we did get into details on a new Hero Mode coming to the title. It’s going to be an unlockable available after some progress in the speed classes in the campaign, and is designed to offer a substantial challenge. Sauter told us the following.

• It’s designed to pose a big challenge for experienced players
• A key mechanic is switched up with the boost energy meter also functioning as a shield mode
• Must finish first in the race to unlock the next

The boost gauge, which in normal modes simply charges for that extra charge of speed, will be tied to the craft’s shield. Though this title very much has its own identity, Sauter acknowledged the similarity to F-Zero. He said the difficulty means that progressing all the way through will suit “F-Zero-starved players”, saying the mode is “pretty close to F-Zero”.
