Videocrab's E3

Now this is a review (and a further 9.5 pages of E3 coverage, all amusing):

This is Nintendo's Chibi Robo, which was overlooked completely by gamers, who waited for hours to see Legend of Zelda: It's Not Cartoony Are You Happy Now and are programmed (by hours and hours of playing Tom Clancy's Unimaginative Bullshit Squad) to ignore anything colorful or creative. Chibi Robo combines the compulsive cleaning of Mario Sunshine with the general scale of Pikmin to create something irresistably adorable. You play as a tiny robot of the near future, who has a PSP-like battery that must be recharged every five minutes; this is accomplished by lugging your power cord over to an outlet and plugging yourself in. You can take out a little toothbrush to mop up spills, toss trash into your infinitely accommodating head, and don various costumes for unexplained reasons. It was fun, but nobody cared. Poor doomed Nintendo, what with their continued insistence on developing fun, original game ideas.

Available.. sometime soon.. for the pink DS, I believe!
