Potential bad news for fans of cute little housekeeping robots: word from GameStop/EB Games corporate is thatChibi-Robo: Park Patrol, the DS sequel to the adorable GameCube title, has been canceled. Customers who had reserved the game received the call today from the sultry-voiced GameStop/EB Games robot, Aeris, and a few quick calls to multiple local stores confirm that an e-mail communication regarding the cancellation was received this morning.
This is troubling news for fans ofChibi-Robo— the title (which was released in Japan earlier this month) was set to hit stores late September of this year.Nintendo’s official siteis currently listing the game for an October 2 release, so all of this could be a big misunderstanding. One can only hope.
For now, we’re treating this as a rumor. We’ve contacted Nintendo for comment, and we’ll update this huge story as it breaks.
