Nintendo of America announced today a new game in the Chibi-Robo series of games, which began way back on the Gamecube. The new game will be called Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash and will be a side-scrolling action adventure title. The game will also come bundled with an exclusive Chibi-Robo amiibo when it is released on the Nintendo 3DS this October.
In Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash, Chibi-Robo must swing his plug to whip enemies, reach far-off platforms and solve environmental puzzles, as well as collect upgrades to extend his plug for getting hard-to-reach collectibles and uncovering hidden areas.
The Chibi-Robo amiibo will launch exclusively in a Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash bundle. This new amiibo will transforms Chibi-Robo into the all-powerful Super Chibi-Robo in certain stages in the game. In addition, players can level up this Chibi-Robo amiibo to acquire a variety of in-game collectible figures and items by saving their scores at the end of each stage.
There aren’t many more details on either the game or the amiibo, but Nintendo promises more details in the future.
Will be any sort of redemption process to get your hands on the amiibo if you purchase a copy of the game in the Nintendo eShop?
