Chibi Robo Park Patrol Still Alive
« on: August 09, 2007, 12:17:22 PM »
Once thought to be canceled, Nintendo says otherwise, announcing the title would be exclusive to Walmart stores nationwide.
 http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=14204

 Reports have been floating around the internet about GameStops calling up people who had reserved Chibi Robo Park Patrol for the DS, telling them their reserve had been moved to another game because the game had been canceled. As these reports grew and grew, Gamespot's Rumor Control feature investigated the issue and contacted Nintendo directly for comment. Nintendo outright denied the game had been canceled, telling Gamespot that instead the game would launch on October 2nd and had become a Walmart exclusive. Nintendo World Report will keep you updated on the issue. Stay tuned.

This is Nintendo's way of saying it's as good as Tenchu DS!

Damn...did the GC game sell THAT badly? Seems like a rather unfair treatment for the game.

Again, what the hell happened???

Actually I think the game isn't doing overly hot in Japan right this second.

Chibi Robo for the GCN was a nice diversion for like 2 weeks for me.  I never completed it because I got stuck...but it had a lot going on.  I hope the DS version is just as good.

Why the hell did Walmart opt to get this as an exclusive?

The first game was a sleeper hit, and while I loved the experience, it just wasn't the type of game which you jump on for exclusivity.

If I was Walmart I would sort of leverage this exclusivity and let me use the main character for my advertisements.  Its a cute character that a lot of people would enjoy.  It just so happens to come from a videogame.

It's my fault.  In a break from my usual routine, I bought the first Chibi Robo at Walmart, skewing the sales data.
