Chibi-Robo developer Skip Ltd – Closed down?

Skip Ltd, the team behind the charming Chibi-Robo series, may have closed its doors for good.

Fans of the the long-running franchise noted that the company’s website is no longer accessible, though it can be reached via the IP address.

Furthermore the Skip Ltd placard, which is at the front of their offices, has been removed and finally the CEO has recently removed the address to the company’s website from his personal Twitter profile.

Not confirmed yet

Keep in mind though, it has not been made official by Skip Ltd or by any other party yet. So we might be reading too much into it.

About Chibi-Robo!

Chibi-Robo! is a platform-adventure video game for the GameCube developed by Skip Ltd. with collaboration from Nintendo. The game was first released in Japan in 2005, and then released in North America and Europe the following year.

Originally conceived as a point and click adventure game, it was put on developmental hold until Nintendo producer Shigeru Miyamoto gained interest in the title and overhauled its production.

The player takes on the role of the eponymous character, Chibi-Robo, a 10-centimeter-tall robot that has a power plug for a tail. Gameplay revolves around navigating a household and collecting “Happy Points”.
