One of the most elusive titles in the GameCube lineup, *Chibi-Robo*, is set to arrive on Nintendo Switch Online, which has already shown to lower its physical price.

Another rare GameCube title is making its way to the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription, seemingly as a Switch 2 exclusive. As the physical prices of hard-to-find GameCube games reach unprecedented levels, Nintendo’s enhancements to its online service continuously make titles that were originally exclusive to their consoles more reachable, which is a benefit for those who can’t afford the hundreds of dollars required to participate. Nintendo released a trailer for the thrilling *Chibi-Robo* launch, which can be viewed below.

The 2006 critically acclaimed puzzler, *Chibi-Robo*, has transitioned from cult classic to a sought-after collector’s item since its release, with resale prices typically falling between $100-200. According to PriceCharting, the average selling price for a complete-in-box version exceeds the $200 threshold. Prominent Twitter game collector, Stealth40K, commented that the addition to the Nintendo Switch Online library is “VERY nice” and mentioned that other titles joining the platform are likely to experience a significant price drop (speculating that *Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance* might be next).

In addition to the collector scene, *Chibi-Robo* enjoys a favorable reputation, boasting a 75 percent approval rating on MetaCritic. Players have praised the game for its abundant creativity and charm, along with its enjoyable gameplay. Enthusiastic fans have been advocating for the return of the diminutive spark-plug-carrying robot for years, with an entire Reddit thread devoted to fans joyfully celebrating the return of the little robot. One fan, Unicronicorn, expressed, “Really hope this brings the game and series to more people’s attention,” wishing that more fans will emerge due to its inclusion on the platform.

Regardless of whether fans have experienced *Chibi-Robo* before, it will be available on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 21, and it will cost significantly less than $100 at that time.
